CDs & Music Collection Guide
Music plays a sificant role in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and collecting CDs is a fun side activity that also contributes to your overall completion. These CDs can be played on the karaoke machine at the Survive Bar, allowing you to listen to iconic songs from the Yakuza series and beyond. Finding all of them can be a rewarding challenge for dedicated players.
CDs can be acquired through various means. Many are purchased from shops, particularly the Ebisu Pawn shops located in different districts of Yokohama and Kamurocho. Others can be found as drops from enemies, obtained as rewards for completing substories, or discovered in hidden briefcases scattered throughout the world. It's a good idea to keep an eye out for CDs whenever you're exploring or completing side content.
The game features a wide array of music tracks, including classic Yakuza karaoke songs, character-specific themes, and even some licensed tracks. Each CD you collect adds to your music library, which can be accessed at the Survive Bar. Playing these songs not only provides entertainment but can also be a requirement for certain trophies or completionist goals. Some CDs are tied to specific characters or story moments, adding an extra layer of nostalgia for long-time fans.
