Sega released a Spotify playlist compiling all songs from the first Like a Dragon series live concert, "Like a Dragon THE LIVE -IKIZAMA-", on May 18, 2026. The playlist combines a 28-track setlist of songs performed across three shows with a 40-track venue BGM playlist selected by series chief director Ryosuke Horii. The live event itself took place May 16-17 at Kanadevia Hall in Tokyo, featuring voice actors Takaya Kuroda (Kazuma Kiryu), Shunsei Ueki (Goro Majima), and Kazuhiro Nakaya (Ichiban Kasuga) singing karaoke tracks and battle music with a live band. Guest performer Sumire Uesaka (Saeko Mukoda) sang two songs. Horii, who wrote lyrics for most of the songs, also performed under his artist name RYO. The concert ran nearly two and a half hours, including MC segments and an encore. Ueki expressed ambition to hold a future concert at Tokyo Dome.
The playlist is divided into two parts: a 28-track "Setlist [Complete Edition]" that mirrors the order of songs performed across the three shows, and a 40-track "Venue BGM Special Playlist" of series-related songs that played before the live began. Horii selected the venue BGM himself. The setlist includes full-spec versions of karaoke staples like "Baka Mitai [Taxi Driver Edition]" and "24-jikan Cinderella [Full Spec Edition]", as well as battle themes like "Receive you" and "Fly (KIWAMI ver.)". The live concert had no streaming or archive, so the playlist is the only way for fans who did not attend to hear the performances. Ueki, during the encore, said he aims to hold a concert at Tokyo Dome, which is adjacent to Kanadevia Hall. The event also featured guitarist Nozomu Wakai, who created posters for the original Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon 2.
