Today Capcom delivered an absolute promotional masterpiece for its upcoming survival horror game Resident Evil Village.
The publisher released a music video featuring popular enka singer and songwriter Yoshi Ikuzo.
Wearing a getup suitable for a villager, he delivers a perfect rearrangement of his popular song “Ora Tokyo sa igu da” titled “Orera Konna Mura Iyada Lv. 100” which translates into “I don’t like this village Lv. 100.”
Unfortunately, the lyrics are in Japanese, but they’re quite hilarious, like when he calls the fan-favorite Countess Alcina Dimitrescu “Kyuuketsu Neechan” or “vampire sis”
I’m pretty sure you don’t need to actually understand Japanese to have a laugh or twenty.
Resident Evil Village will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam on May 7, 2021.
If you want to see more, you can enjoy the original announcement, a batch of screenshots, a recent cinematic trailer, another video, the latest trailer, and the latest screenshots.
If you’re unfamiliar with Resident Evil Village, here’s an official description from Capcom.
Set a few years after the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares. Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again. Chris Redfield, the legendary hero from the Resident Evil™ series who made a brief appearance in Resident Evil 7 biohazard, is reacquainted with the couple and horribly disrupts their life, leaving Ethan devastated and thrown into an entirely new nightmare.
The first-person action in Resident Evil Village begins when players assume the role of a distraught and shattered Ethan as he seeks to uncover the mysterious new horrors that plague a once peaceful village. Throughout this terrifying journey, players will fight for every breath as they are hunted by vicious new enemies that have infested the snow-capped locale. Channeling the capabilities of next generation consoles, the detailed realism and relentless feeling of fear will increase with each desperate battle for survival, while moments of calm will leave players wondering what new horrors await.
