Japan cracked down on Yakuza hard. They’re a shell of their former organizations.

The government does NOT LIKE COMPETITION. Helps to remember things like prostitution are legal in Japan now, guess which entity gets A $$cut$$ of those proceeds instead of the Yakuza now.

​@AKlover prostitution is not legal in japan, they have basically a private room strip club where some sexual stuff probably takes place, it's not legal.

@@becraftcorey "Legal Grey Area"???? I remember BPS doing A video showing where the brothels are and how Japanese prostitutes either are pressured to not or outright do not service foreigners, that is left to the "migrants". That is oddly specific to be untrue. Look up Black Pigeon Walking Tour or something to that effect.

Agreed the person who is interviewed and yourself should be a bit louder and ads should be either at beginning after intro or closer to the end slap 3-4 for in a row or 2 in the begining 2 in middle and 2 at the end depending on the length of video

The HBO series is great, btw. A-tier TV

Ads every 2 minutes. Awesome

I’m enjoying your show. Please keep up the good work. Hopefully they won’t all be IP interviews

Just like Costra Nostra, don't think gokudō is dead and gone. ...They didn't die off, they just adapted to the times.

WOW. Heavy stuff.

It’s basically like the mafia there’s a code

Also, following the (anti-Yakuza) ordinances of 2011 which were politically driven by the Hatoyama government over his 2 year reign from 2009 many of the groups simply acquiesced under a mutually beneficial understanding and “corporatised” their commercial activities within legitimate longstanding ‘white collar’ firms in the manufacturing, law and financial realms. Effectively they just started wearing suits and going into the office - meaning much less need for large numbers of ground troops. The contemporary downside of all that shedding of grunts has been the subsequent and increasing rise in numbers of the Chinese Triads pushing in and taking over the older ‘traditional’ business activities forcing the Yakuza to agree on generally unfavourable split deals within their individual territories. The reality is home break ins and street crime is on the rise including sexual assault. That was never much of a problem with the Yukazu at full strength. Many within the police force and society at large lament the old days.

They're (Yakuza) all over tokyo, roppongi district, and yokohama. Also, they've got a huge presence in downtown naha, and okinawa city, of Okinawa.

They made a movie based on the serial killer he's referring to. It was called cold fish.

Felt like 10 ads
