Does Kabukicho in Shinjuku really like “Ryu ga Gotoku”? When I asked a professional on the road, an unexpected fact came out! | Rocket News 24

SEGA’s hit game “Ryu ga Gotoku” debuted in 2005, and is an action-adventure work with a yakuza motif that has been supported worldwide so far. The stage is“Kamurocho” modeled after Shinjuku KabukichoIt’s a fictional town, but…

Does Kabukicho really swirl with danger, like “Ryu ga Gotoku”? I was curious, thenWhen I asked everyone who worked in Kabukicho about the dangerous episodes, I was able to see the true face of the city!

・ What is real Kabukicho like?

SatoKamurocho is too dangerous even though it is a game location.. I deal with thugs, and black market deals and explosions happen a lot. How many times has the Millennium Tower (a building that often appears in highlights) been destroyed…

Is Kabukicho real then?


Sato“That’s right! Let’s ask professionals that way, night townspeople!Hey turtle, let’s go ask!


Kamezawa“Me?I play the whole seriesBut I love Mashima’s older brother (an important character who is indispensable to the work), though~”

This is Kabukicho.in terms of games“Kamurocho Tenkaichi Street”in. When I look at the city again like this, I am amazed at the high degree of reproduction of the city in the game.


I received information that the mother of the club on Kuyakusho-dori is familiar with Kabukicho. I have to go see her first…



This is this club. The name of the shop is“Club Spring”.


mother’s name“Haruka”I hear.Speaking of “Haruka”, one of the indispensable characters in the gameIt looks like you have some pretty good information.


Mama is on the other side of this door. Are you Ready?Alright, I have two “Stamina XX” (items in the game), so it should be fine. By the way, I have a principle of not using “Tauliner” (in-game item). let’s go!


Sato“Do you have a mother?”

staff“May I ask who is calling?”

Sato“I have business with Mama. Please wait.”

staff“Eh, ah, yes…”


Haruka Mama“Thank you for waiting. You are Mr. Sato.”


Don Don!

mother“If it’s all right with me, I might be able to answer what you want to know.”

Sato“Please take care of me”


Sato“Is Kabukicho as dangerous as Kamurocho?”

mother“I don’t think it’s been like that in recent years.In the past, fighting was a daily occurrence


Sato“What! when was that?”

mother“I worked in a cabaret club for five years from the age of 20, but then I encountered fights almost every day.


Sato“Between strangers?”

mother“No, I think it was a VIP seat, but I wonder if a group of customers got together.”


Sato: “What a boring fight!”

mother“Yes, I wonder if I lost the power of alcohol.”


Sato“Drinking is supposed to be fun, but getting into a fight with your friends doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be a fun drinking party.The fate of a drunkardMaybe.”

mother“Maybe so. You should be careful too.”


SatoI look like this, but I’m not good at drinking so it’s okay. escape immediately to oolong tea.”

mother“Incredibly unreliable, fufufu…”

Sato“Haa~… (sigh)”

mother“Come to think of it, the Constellation Hall host club on this street.Mr. NARUSE from “AWAKE” has been in Kabukicho for over 20 years, so maybe he knows something.

Sato“I see. Thank you. Mama, I’ll go see NARUSE.”
