Here is a short interview with Masayoshi Yokoyama, director and executive producer at RGG Studio:
Yokoyama said he was concerned that the live-action adaptation would be nothing more than a carbon copy of the original game. He said he wanted viewers to see it as if it were their first time experiencing it. Yakuza story. However, his conversations with director Masaharu Take put these fears to rest, and he trusted Take to produce something interesting. In fact, after watching it, he felt jealous of how the cast and crew created something new from a premise that RGG Studio had come up with 20 years ago. His hands even shook as he smoked a cigarette afterward. But there was still a lot of respect for the original story in many aspects of the show. Yokoyama stated that both newcomers and veterans of the series could enjoy the story.
