Small sidenote: the 83 in 83key is said as "Yasa", as his real name is Shunsuke Yasaki, and the numbers 8 and 3 can be read as "hachi/ya" and "san/mi". Take the first two sounds and add "key" and it sounds like "Yasaki"

Holy hell, carpenter brut was the last name I'd expect in a video discussing yakuza OST artists but like, I *hear* it, I see the vision. 83KEY is on my radar.

[@mat8791]

Oh yeah, about the lyrics of For Faith. That was literally Shoji himself singing the lyrics. (As seen in the credits of the BEST OF song collection released with Yakuza 4 I think.)

I can't tell you how much I love the soundtracks from these games, it's so nice watching a video like this appreciating all the music and their composers from somebody else who's clearly also a massive fan of them

[@ay9lx]

I can and will listen to people talk about LaD music for hours, one of my favorite topics in the world

[@MrLemmy82]

I sincerely hope Keitaro Hanada returns for the future games of the franchise, because holy shit his contributions to Gaiden and Infinite Wealth are my favorite parts of these games' soundtracks. No matter what style he goes for, it hits part of my soul just right!

[@obafrog]

Hasty Spirit is definitely Kaito's theme. Also nice to see that RGG themselves seem to recognize that by putting it in Gaiden and not just giving him a random substory theme from Gaiden's OST. Like Bruiser and Tank are kinda cool, but Hasty Spirit really sums up his character with both emotional and action-y parts perfectly into a song. The Duel is also really, really good. Also was it really necessary to give your 44k subscribers depression at the end of the video like that😭

[@ELYlem-z4s]

The music of the yakuza series is really underrated. Of course, the series has only recently become popular in the West and is still less popular than other AAA series. The music of the series has never won an award or even been nominated for music at a game award ceremony. This is unfortunate as a fan of the series. I really hope that the music in this series will be treated to match its quality someday.

[@zennr_]

83key is probably the easiest of them all to recognize. Ive never failed to recognize his songs except in Gaiden when i thought a song was made by him, but was not. Instead it was made by this new composer, Ryo Fukuda, who so far has made songs only for Gaiden and IW. These songs include absolute bangers like Psychos Anthem (Gaiden), Receive and Believe you and BodyBag (IW). I really hope to see him in the future games again.

[@rorybyrne86]

Good call on the Carpenter Brut/83Key similarities. Never realised it before but it's super obvious now I think about it.

[@VoltSlash]

I'm Fading Away is incredibly mindblowing

[@ozzyfish3377]

From my understanding, you can tell who's who based on if it sounds epic, incredible, awesome, phenomenal, or excellent. Now I just have to figure out the difference between those.

[@plosonen]

Holy fuck, I had never heard the 83key/Carpenter Brut comparison before but it makes so much sense, CB is one of my favourite artists of all time so no wonder I like his stuff so much. My favourite from his is Brutality -Rebuild- I think. My favourite composer from the series is still Chihiro Aoki overall, just hearing that I'm Fading Away at the end made me shed a tear, just like that ending. Also I just finished Ishin today so I am extra biased E: Idk why YT decided to put those lines into Rebuild, I'm just typing it like it is on Spotify: - Rebuild - but without the spaces

Me with my Carpenter Brut tattoo when Carpenter Brut is mentioned: "Y E S". But actually yea I mentally have made the connections a while ago but never actually thought about it until you mentioned it in the video how 83key's songs feel reminiscent of the darksynth style of Brut.

[@Laserfilth]

The Yakuza soundtracks are a huge reason i got REALLY into the games ngl. I've been completely obsessed since i heard Recieve and Bite You and it's only spiraled out of control from there. Terrified to see my spotify wrapped this year lmfao

15:09 - 15:20 absolute gigachad take, once i got to that fight in kaito files when it came out and heard that theme it instantly became one of my top 3 RGG tracks EASILY, it's just so damn GOOD, reminds me of a few different songs from other games i've played over the years that i also love while also sounding like it's own phenomenal thing, it's such a shame it doesn't have an official release on spotify or anything RGG please... we love

[@jasonvandam2178]

Steve J conte actually sang the vocals of i'm fading away. He has also done some vocals for the cowboy bebop soundtrack. That dude is seriously good at pulling my heart strings

[@Ajaaw]

Another example of the same chanting reused from Thouzer's Theme/Palekanian Dance is throughout 'Darkness' from Judgment!

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

Since you're the "Yakuza/LaD Music Guy" on KZbin, one idea for a video would be who did the mysterious covers of prior songs in the series that you only ever hear in restaurants as background music in later games. Like, you can go into a Poppo in Judgment or Lost Judgment and hear a cover from not-Haruka singing the Dream Line song from Y5, or not-Kiryu singing Kamurocho Lullaby in the Sushi Gin. It's not a question of composer in these instances, but singer, since they get someone who isn't the more expensive VA for them. I think. Or maybe I'm just imagining things.

[@nacho2920]

oh yeah you’re spot on about 83key being a Bruh fan

[@microwave1148]

The part from the end of denial phase 2 is from destiny from 6 btw lol

[@gvgkid]

So, fun note from someone who's been doing music production for games a little bit. In regards to the whole "distortion of vocal-samples"-thing, it's a pretty normal thing in games where the devs will tell the composer "This is sick, but we're really worried that the vocals distract from the gameplay. Players might confuse it for an in-game voice line. Please make it clearly distinguishable from a clean VO-recording." And so, the go-to answer becomes to distort the hell out of it.

[@Aleksandr_Tararin]

@@heartbeat7939 I got spoiled major kiwami plot point because youtube randomly gave me "for who's sake" in a jam, I immediately recognized that it has the same melody as "for buddy". If you think a bit about those 2 names, they are clearly connected, so I understood that it was nishikiyama's theme in kiwami, and it also had "final boss ost" in the title, so I knew how it would end. After that I decided not to try my luck with OSTs from yakuza games I didnt play yet.
