In this episode, Noah visits the Daikoku Drugstore (ダイコクドラッグ) located on Theater Ave. in Kabukicho, Tokyo. Daikoku Drugstore appeared in Yakuza 5 (龍が如く5 夢、叶えし者) and Yakuza 0 (龍が如く0 誓いの場所).
On my last visit in 2012, this used to be a pachinko arcade called, ‘Oriental Passage’.
In 2016, the building has been rebuilt as Daikoku Drugstore and a karaoke entertainment hub.
In the main Ryu ga Gotoku (龍が如く) games it is still a pachinko place called, ‘Volcanic Volcano’.
During the Japanese launch for both Yakuza 5 (龍が如く5 夢、叶えし者) and Yakuza 0 (龍が如く0 誓いの場所), SEGA had a special collaboration with Daikoku Drugstore where players could visit the store in the games to purchase health restoration items.

To celebrate my 5th year anniversary on YouTube, this is my tribute to the Ryu ga Gotoku (龍が如く) franchise and the amazingly talented team at Sega. This video was a labor of love.
This documentary was done entirely on the spot meaning there were no scripts or notes written.
