A former member of the Goto-gumi recounted the murder as follows: "We set it up to stage his murder as a suicide. We dragged him up to the rooftop and put a gun in his face. We gave him a choice: jump and you might live or stay and we'll blow your face off. He jumped. He didn't live."
Looks like it’s available on justwatch which I’ve never heard of . 20-30+ year old movies are hard to find. https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/minbo-the-gentle-art-of-japanese-extortion
This is tangentially related but fascinating. A terrific movie called Minbo came out in Japan thirty or so years ago. It's about the Yakuza and not very flattering. The director was stabbed at the premier. Then, later, died of suicide in very suspicious circumstances.

All his movies were terrific.
