Japanese Lyrics

「男」
嗚呼、信じない
嬢は裏がある
今夜もバラ撒く
指名の数の愛情

「女」
遊びでしょう　信じない
客は　気まぐれね

「男と女」
だけどなぜだろう
この人だけは違う
そう思えた

ネオン街が二人照らす
運命さえ信じられる

「女」
建前？
「男」
本音さ
「女」でまかせ
「男」
じゃない
「男と女」
恋は止まらない

時に笑い　時に迷い
時に悩み　共に紡ぐ

「女」
あなたと
「男」
お前の
「男と女」
神室町恋のストーリー

「男」
俺の孤独な心に咲いた、
一輪の、お前という名の雪月花。
ネオン眩しい神室町。
二人つむいだこの歌を
「神室純恋歌」と名づけよう。

[Part 1: Karaoke Version]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Male Singer]
ah, I don't believe it
this woman has a hidden side
tonight I'll drown her in riches
to earn my way into her heart

[Verse 2: Female Singer]
is he playing around?
i don't believe it
this man
can be so fickle

[Pre-Chorus: Male & Female]
but why then
when I'm with you
does it feel so different?

[Chorus: Male, Female, Male & Female]
neon city lights shine on the two of us
might it be fate?
is it for show?
no, it's real
is it a lie?
it's not
love cannot be stopped

sometimes we laugh
sometimes we lose our way
sometimes we worry together
spinning our tale

with you
and you, too
our Kamurocho love story

(in my lonely heart bloomed)
(you, a solitary, beautiful flower)
(dazzling neon Kamurocho)
(this tale we've spun together)
(let's call it "pure love in Kamurocho")

[Part 1: Karaoke Version]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Male Singer]
Ah, I don't believe it
My love, she has a darker side
She'll spread her wings, into the night
For some other man in sight, isn't that right?

[Verse 2: Female Singer]
This has to be a joke, I don't believe it
My love, he has another sweetheart

[Pre-Chorus: Male & Female]
But now it's time to move on
I've found a brand-new someone, things'll be
different from now on

[Chorus: Male, Female, Male & Female]
The neon city lights shine 'pon our rendezvous
Weaving a destiny, for only me and you
Is this a lie?
It's the truth
Some kind of joke?
Not funny
You're the only one for me

Together smiling, together wandering
Together pondering, together through and through
Will you be mine?
I'm all yours
Kamurocho's purest love story

[Outro: MALE, spoken]
(The flower growing in my lonely heart)
(blossoms beneath your light.)
(This neon city shines,)
(bright as our love.)
(Now together let's write Kamurocho's purest love story.)

Trivia

In the Japanese versions of Yakuza 4 and Dead Souls, there is a discrepancy between the words sung vs the lyrics on-screen: instead of 女 ("onna," meaning "woman"), the kanji 嬢 ("jō") is shown (referring to an unmarried woman, but specifically a hostess within this context). Also, instead of 男 ("otoko," meaning "man"), the kanji for "customer," 客 ("kyaku") is shown.
