SEGA seems to be fully aware of how popular this meme is among fans. During the recent SEGA TGS party, SEGA had a DJ play a remixed version of “Baka Mitai”. It appears that all the fans who went to the party were well entertained.
In Yakuza 0, Yakuza 5, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza: Like A Dragon, the player can choose to have the main character Kazuma Kiryu sing karaoke as a side mission. One of the songs he can sing is called "Baka Mitai" (eng. "I've Been A Fool"), whose chorus starts with the lyric "Dame Da Ne," (eng. "It's no use").
Fans found this side mission especially entertaining and started to upload the video to YouTube. The videos went viral and quickly became a meme.

Anything for fans, even if it means taking advantage of your own meme. Thank you, SEGA!
