Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon - Karaoke: Machine Gun Kiss (Adachi) ENGLISH VER.

0:00 Nomal
1:47 Movie Version
....
I am kinda disappoined. I have to admit it, I couldn't tell that it's the same voice actor but I don't really enjoy this one. I don't know if it's beacause he sounds too young (I kinda expected a gruffer voice) but I'm pretty sure that the loud background chorus ruins the "karaoke mood" for me. The lyrics are spot on thou.

Heyo!! So to maybe help clear this up, I am the voice of Adachi spoken AND singing in this game, this was heavily discussed and while we did gruffer versions that were more like his speaking voice ultimately the idea that he had a much younger singing voice was too funny a concept to pass up and that’s what the game developers went with! Thanks for playing 👊🏽

[@alongz96ify]

That's interesting. Kinda hoping for the gruffier version though but you killed it with this song.

[@ChaosArgate]

I would love to hear a gruffer version of your take on this song. I think the take used is great, but I have been wondering what a version closer to Adachi's normal voice would sound like too!

[@wilsonardodamarci3706]

[@Sune]

as much as the singing voice doesn't match the speaking voice....I kinda feel like that's what they were going for. "hey, wouldn't it be funny if this gruff-sounding old dude happened to have a super youthful singing voice?" "but it doesn't match." "eh, these games have a bunch of weird stuff in them anyways. it's justifiable" EDIT: ok it turns out this is what happened. I swear my uncle doesn’t work for Sega

[@TheCanadianLemur]

I don't think it's intentional in that way. I think they just couldn't get the VA to sing for whatever reason and the singer they found just didn't match the character

[@Sune]

@@TheCanadianLemur yeah, I was kinda half-joking with my comment but what you said is probably what happened. I’m assuming the singer is the voice actor himself though and they just had to roll with it

[@Minecraftlover73]

Yeah, especially if he can do that versions ending instead.

[@deanxile]

i don't think its bad. in fact out of all the karaoke in yakuza like dragon this is the best sounding one, its just that... the voice dosen't fit adachi at all, i was suprised on how young he sounded

[@wumboneff7155]

I think the problem is also that not just that it's a weird fit for the character, but it also is really far from his normal dub speaking voice. Even if you played the dub, this karaoke is confusing because it doesn't sound like the same guy at all. Normal people aren't VAs that can significantly change their voices, especially amateurs during karaoke, the voice should definitely been more consistent with the speaking voice. Granted, Hana in Y4 also had this kinda thing where her karaoke voice was significantly different from her appearance and speaking voice.

[@DanielFerreira-ez8qd]

@@wumboneff7155 It WAS done for the pure purpose of adding a joke in. Apparently Adachi just canonically has a much younger singing voice now.

[@Vali_Z4ne]

Not gonna lie, Andrew Morgado's singing voice fits Shinada better than Adachi. I was expecting a way gruffer pipe for this song performance.

@@winters_revolt a lot of times they sub out for a professional singer in movies and games that tries to emulate the normal voice.

it does sound kinda weird. but if you listen to the original japanese version, their gruff old man voice _also_ sounded a lot younger and smoother for this song. so the localizers were probably just trying to emulate that.
