Interesting read, a reporter who has some friends in the Tokyo underworld. He decides to have a sit down with several yakuzas and get their reviews on the yakuza 3 game. Enjoy!

Gotta say, that is a pretty interesting idea, having actual Yakuza compare their experiences to a video game depiction...kind of makes me think of all those US military personnell over in Iraq playing modern warfare in their free time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)
Amusing article, thanks for sharing. |

what's interesting is the mention of executive yaks vs the street lvl also & what's expected of them in behavior

And if you're interested in the Yakuza I would definitely recommend the interviewer's book Tokyo Vice. Adelstein really breaks down what the Yakuza does for a Western audience who might think of them as "just" another version of the Mafia. It was a really great read.
