It’s all about attitude with him, and with Yakuza in general - it’s cool and reserved to the tune of an explosively rip-roaring riff.
Those first three notes punching right into the screeching bend are packed with context - especially if you happen to be watching the intro cinematic while listening, Kiryu’s lazy cigarette conveying pretty much all you need to know about his character in a single, almost static action. Yakuza 0, though… I honestly don’t think it can ever be topped. Believe me, I pay an outrageous amount of attention to this sort of thing - Persona 5’s Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There comes remarkably close to Yakuza 0, while Final Fantasy 14 boasts gorgeously serene main menu music. Duh-dun-dun - whackawhew! That’s my acapella rendition of the first four notes of the Yakuza 0 opening theme, AKA the best intro track for any video game ever.
