"Guest Composers" Part 2 - Yakuza Composer Appreciation

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Check the description and also the captions at 3:02 for two separate corrections :) also sorry for being AFK for a while I had a bunch of Uni work and other things to do but I am back now (probably/probably not)

[@danteakechi7330]

HE COMPOSED SNAKE EATER!????? ONE OF MY FAVORITE THEMES OF ALL TIME?????

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I KNOW I WAS SHOCKED TOO

[@ashleyy69]

They needed Hibino on later games too...

[@vastunliking3817]

:cerealspit~1:

[@system3217]

Lmao Yoshio really said "fuck the rest of this game, should have just been about fishing."

[@ashleyy69]

Based Yoshio

[@frootloop3568]

Im so pissed he didnt include Broken Police Radio

[@softsoundd]

You raise a valid point SharpiestAnglegrinder but I patiently await part 3 for the celebrity composers edition

[@Hezzadude12]

Ichiban! Ichiban! Wake up! A dragon defeating your friends? No dude, SnowiestAngeman just dropped another Composer Appreciation!

[@rosemizer]

Holy shit the mutual fists is one of my favorite song in the entire series. Glad to know who made it.

[@ommexyt]

I remember hearing Wirepuller for the first time and thinking "This sounds like a Metal Gear song" despite the fact that I had never played a Metal Gear game at the time. To find out that he was an actual MGS composer was definitely a surprise. Also, the composer of Smash Ultimate's main theme being a composer for Yakuza 2 and 3 was an unexpected surprise.

[@frostyprime8110]

Yakuza 2 OST is too much of a banger bruh ORA DOUSHITA

[@DonVecta]

1:24 in "Where has you touch gone?" nothing says "I love you Akiyama" than the video in the background. Yes, we all love Akiyama.💜🖤💜🖤 YOSHITSURU also composed Broken Police Radio in Y4 (the dispatch battle music for Tanimura), IIRC Not sure if you plan to go for a Guest Composers 3, but if so, mention Love Sound System, they only released two tracks: *Ping Pong* in Y3 and the super cool and chill *Eliese* in Y4 (I dunno why they didn't reprise this track in Y5, tho, oh well). SoundDrive, who released *Leo the Aristocrat* (what a banger!), *The Cool Guy Sosuke* (another killer track), *Battle of Pride* and *The Pursuit of Speed*, DIG who composed *The Maximum Ill Luck* etc. etc.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Oh yes you are correct whoops I will touch that up. Think I just forgot about that song because him and another composer are both credited for that song

[@dalelumina3]

how did you forget hideki sakamoto's best song in from yakuza 2, hayashi's theme song it is a certified banger (tm)

[@jojijoestar7233]

That entire boss fight got nerfed in every way in Kiwami 2. Especially the FTH actually continuing after you’ve annihilated Hayashi’s health as long as you have some heat to spare.

[@ashleyy69]

I was waiting for it in excitement, but yeah

[@GunGun-cf3ss]

Man just composes two of the best songs in y5, refuses to elaborate and leaves

[@ToroTor0]

YESSS SATURDAY NIGHT☆LOVER!!

[@MariusBoss11458]

Remember when I asked for Where has your touch gone? But the Karaoke cutscene is Akiyama? Yeah... 1:25 THAT Akiyama edit.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

YEAH I know the Akiyama edit you were talking about but now I don’t remember what you asked of me lmao

[@ramranchconnoisseur9844]

Big Fish On!! sounds like E1M1 from Doom lmao

[@Jessica-el5yx]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

You’re absolutely right it does haha

[@Hezzadude12]

Jeez man, as soon as I heard it I immediately thought the exact same thing

[@yof2210]

FISH AND HOOK TILL IT'S DONE

[@maxwellpaynewell5305]

Shocked to see that every composer in this video is my hero

[@CrocTV42]

Wire puller is literally fire starter by the prodigy

[@TheExFatal]

The Grudge is 100% a Hibino track, it sounds so much like his PS2 Metal Gear Solid games

[@ashleyy69]

I think it's tonally more similar to his style than some sfx and insturments on Grudge. Has a similar feeling to Father and Son or Evil Personified

[@TheExFatal]

NORIHIKO HIBINO COMPOSED FOR YAKUZA???? What a king

[@ornix5761]

5:20 thats literally DOOM main theme is funny af heard that in a fishing minigame

[@basedfalcon12]

i really like this videos, you make an incredible effort to do them. thank u and keep going!!

[@fraudhoward1409]

I wish that Kiwami 1 and 2 gave you the option to listen to the original game's ost instead of the new one.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I'm kinda surprised they didn't considering a lot of remakes do, but at the same time it's probably just because of all the new songs and minigames and all that considering it isn't a direct remake

[@thatoneguy2023]

@@SnowiestAngeman I'm thinking they didnt want to pay royalties to the guest composers who no longer work at sega, which might explain why Kiwami 2's soundtrack is so different to the original

[@ashleyy69]

@@thatoneguy2023 unfortunate fact but true

[@IJIKAI]

Yay a new SnowiestAngeman video

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Hope you enjoy it :)

[@Prolyfic8]

It’s a surprise a few composers from noisycroak have contributed in this series, and later in the PMD series, but the other way did not happen with Iiyoshi, who’s a freelancer. Anyhow, great video overall, and shoutouts to Hibino!

[@nostradamusnew6301]

I know that it's of topic, but you should try the kurohyou games, the only way to play them is through a psp emulator but they both have english patches(the first game has a very glitchy and shitty patch, but the main story is fully translated) but the 2nd has a well made english patch... (the same team that translated kurohyou 2 says that they are working on fully patchin Kurohyou 1, but we will have to wait for that) Also nice video... can't wait for other video ideas that you have.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I've played a decent chunk of the first game but only in Japanese lol

[@chronica6457]

I was just wondering if the KH2 patch is done I'll have to give it a try sometime

[@Virkato513]

Wow never thought Hiroyoshi Kato made some tracks for Yakuza series, I only know his works in BEMANI.

[@TheExFatal]

Personal shotout to Jin Senbonmatsu, the legend that composed Koga's theme for Judgment

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I did a video on him and the rest of FIVE LEAF CLOVER if you didn’t know ;)

[@ArtyIF]

what about the unknown yakuza composer appreciation? iirc games like yakuza 3 didn't have their composers released

[@MageLufaine]

Do you happen to know what Kenzan songs Hiroyoshi Kato composed? Big fan of that game and its OST so it'd be nice to credit the right guy for specific songs.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Check either on my channel or in the description I have a playlist of all the songs he’s credited as composing

[@ferriswalcc]

what about japanese rock band SiM making music for kiwami 2 they made the opening to attack on titan season 4 part 2

[@DepressedCrow]

5:17 is it just me or is this a remix of E1M1?

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Saw a couple of other people say that and yeah I definitely see what you mean

[@DepressedCrow]

@@SnowiestAngeman I remember I was watching a stream of someone doing the fishing minigame either 3 or 4, I think it was 3 and they were going for the one substory that needed a rare fish, I can't fully remember, and several people pointed it out and I can never unhear it now

[@DepressedCrow]

This was before the patch that made fishing easier

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

9:55 why did you have to stop this song before the best part??? :=( how could you

[@prithyachan333]

what songs did POPHOLIC compose for 5?

[@SnowiestAngeman]

They did 2 songs for Yakuza 5 and you can check out those songs here kzbin.info/aero/PLN58ITKbq8wDltYmm60OsvUiB0VEK9_8k or link in the description :)
