So it’s been a few months since this video, and my opinions on this video have changed. I definitely should have included the PS2 versions of Yakuza 1 and 2’s music. If this list were made today, these 3 would be much higher; Yokohama Crackhouse What a FUNKTASTIC Hit Funk Goes On (PS2) Meanwhile, these 3 would be lower; Isolated Fight One Eyed Slugger Bruise And I wouldn’t change the placement of Ryu-Kyu humming. I’ve gotten a lot of comments about that, and my opinion hasn’t changed; it’s still among the weakest Yakuza battle themes.

@@dogman3075 I totally get why it’s on the bottom which includes the lack of climatic instrumentation, but dudes did it dirty with the reasoning. The song is far from boring. From the guitar riff accompanied by the indescribably vocals, then you have the second half of the song with the funky percussion. This song is perfect for pummeling people to the ground to the beat.

the reason why Majima's themes are better than Kiryu's themes in 0 is because Majima's styles are all about show, tons of stylish moves and creative ways to finish the enemies, so their themes are like that, stylish and quick, while Kiryu's styles are simple and straight, moves that does their work, no need to do sick flips or breakdance, just punches, kicks, grabs, etc, thats why his themes are like that, straight and simple to represent their styles. At least thats my point of view

tbh massive fire and hailstorm should swap places (in games not in the rank), the sluggish hailstorm fits the sluggish traumatized yakuza 4 saejima who just wants to see his sister again, while the intense massive fire fits the herculean yakuza 5 saejima who just wants to kill bears in peace

Hot take: Speed star is both a better theme for Akiyama and a better theme for fighting
@ot4kc Жыл бұрын

@zoltydelphox9192 Жыл бұрын
Speed Star fits a more wild Akiyama, since in 4 he is just a man who wants "civilian on civilian" street fights under his guise of owning Sky Finance. In the office, he is charismatic, levelheaded and cool. But on the streets, he doesn't hold back in fighting. The song reflects that, being fast-paced but also having a calm moment in it. Essentially "slowing down". Assuming players go for 5 immediately after 4, they already know the story and major personality of Akiyama, he has improved as a person and accepted that not everything in his past will come back. He moves forward with the future, even establishing another office in Sotenbori. Affected Fight is as it implies, a man (Affected) by change in his life. His arc in 4, that is. It's very relaxed compared to Speed Star, but that's because he's still warming up to the idea that not every fight has to be fought at full power.. But when he does, so does the song. But honestly, it's up to preference. I prefer Speed Star, but I can't deny the climax of Affected Fight that really brings out his character in full force.
