The Mixer

The Mixer (, Gōkon ni Ikou, lit. "Let's Go to a Mixer") is the 8th substory of Masayoshi Tanimura in Yakuza 4.
== Plot ==
Taking place on Nakamichi Street, Yusuke and Naoya were searching for another person to invite along to the mixer. They had originally invited Ryota, but he decided to drop out at the last minute, forcing them to find a replacement. Later, they met with Masayoshi Tanimura and invited him in Ryota's place. But in order to avoid confusion, Tanimura had to pretend to be "Ryota", as the girls at the mixer had already been told that Ryota was going. Naoya also instructed Tanimura to be Yusuke's wingman so that he could get closer to Akino. Akino appeared shortly after Naoya finished talking to Tanimura, told them that Haruka and Koinatsu were already at the restaurant, and that she was there to pick them up. 
Once everyone arrived, they all introduced themselves to one another, and proceeded along with the mixer. Everything went as planned, with Tanimura helping Yusuke out whenever there was a chance to get closer to Akino. After they were all done, they headed outside to go their separate ways. Just then, Tanimura saw another opportunity for Yusuke to get closer to Akino, which was by him accompanying her home. Akino had a lot of alcohol during the mixer, so she was very drunk by the end of it. Tanimura told Yusuke that he should take her home since he knew where she lived,and that it would be safer for her if he did. The substory ends with Naoya appreciating Tanimura for helping Yusuke and for getting involved throughout the whole ordeal.
