Deadass. That's a bossfight level music. Sure, Akiyama *is* a boss, but not every little street fight he's in is a fight that decides whether or not the sun will rise in the morning
he's kind, he's caring, he's a badass, but most importantly, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... needs to quit smoking cuz his lungs and body hate him for it.

@@cayun6 That's pretty normal with Yakuza games. The innovative/experimental game gets its assets used in future releases. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is LITERALLY Yakuza 6 with weapons
Akiyama (and his battle theme) fits very well with Haruka's arc in this game. The beginning was very "charming" and innocent with no thugs to assault you every time. The songs were cute too. When Akiyama was introduced after this "kawai" arc, we all knew something real was happening. The street fights returned, his battle theme too. The vision of Sotenbori changed as well for us, players. This dual arc embodies different sides of the same coin. (A charming but dangerous world)
Here’s everyone’s favourite part. It just wildly contrasts the menacing metal notes all characters other than Shun have. Cause, you know, he ain’t in the yakuza. He’s just a guy.
I think the themes are just incredibly different in what they're trying to do. Speed Star to me definitely is more groovy and captures that noirish feel of Y4 wonderfully
@@futabamajima Honestly I prefer Speed Star way over this actually, as Speed Star already demonstrated Akiyama's stylish flourishing flair flaring up in the beginning and it continues to keep a constant vibe like that throughout the OST; meanwhile with this they were really trying to seperate the buildup from the climax, which kinda felt a bit disconnected for me in some parts.
This song is so good. It doesn't belong as a street fight theme. This is a boss theme against a long lost friend who's turned against you, not a song for use against random rubes.

Fr though, yakuza 5 really was just a big experimental game in order to create yakuza 0

@@thatonedudefromdiscord4348 hes *THE* guy
It's like part of it made it to the final boss theme.
@@thatonedudefromdiscord4348hes not just “a guy” he is HIM.
*EVERYONE'S LOVE THAT SHIT* moment right there
Yakuza 4 is just Akiyama having fun and going along the ride.
Yakuza 5 is Akiyama fighting for Haruka's dream.
What having fun? He's pretty involved with the whole Yasuko thing
Yakuza 8 (Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth) is Akiyama trying to learn the truth about Kiryu
The local homeless man with Khan Academy education builds up the most successful money loaning business.
1:18 never heard this as my fights last 20 seconds lmao
they made him so cracked in this game for no reason at all and it rules
This is kicking the hype for me. Gonna keep running til I break a leg.
did you break your leg yet?
Overused joke
1:19 I just see Akiyama and Haruka vibe hard to this part, head bobbing and everything
Dunno what these comments are on, this is way better than his Yakuza 4 theme

Them drums on every single theme, mwah
I can definitely hear Receive You in this.
Kiryu or Akiyama
Wow, who should I choose?
Saejima and Shinada.
Wow, do I have to choose?
Hahaha
No you gotta choose me
I went Shinada for the long battle lol. No one appreciates baseball boy :(.
FrostyPrime Don’t worry. I do 💕
I chose shinada as well, always liked his story arc and his clumsy yet smooth style of fighting..
This song is so good. It doesn't belong as a street fight theme. This is a boss theme against a long lost friend who's turned against you, not a song for use against random rubes.
idk what you're talking about man this song is pretty uplifting
@@Rayven_420 simple "music too good for random thugs" "better used for a friend who you havn't seen in a long time turned evil against you"
I’d say it be a good them for nishiki if he was in later games
I disagree, nowhere near enough rage in this. It's too laid-back and suave for occasions like that.
@@flyderay i agree theres not TOO much rage, but this doesnt sound laid back or suave to me. this song feels like its on the verge of tears to me
Good shit.
yup its good shit
yep, good shit.

Can you imagine an Akiyama game with the new engine where you just juggle bad guys everywhere?
1:19 is when the song gets more amazing then it already is
the guitar solo at 1:20 reminds me a lot of The Battle For Dream. And that alone makes me love the ost.
"yo guys, remember that Akiyama guy we made in Y4? so there is this solo I've been working on:" 1:17
The dev team: 🤯
Then the RGG studio started burning.
This song makes me want to kick some Yakuza and get into a dance off

@@Gazzoosethe1 Man's working at SEGA for a few years now.
I used to pick fights all over Sotenbori just to hear this
I'm so glad this is basically Akiyama's default theme in the series. It's going to be cool hearimg this in Infinite Wealth.
It's Speed Star that they used in Infinite Wealth
@@TariqCraig-md4bjA real shame, but hey, at least they used affected fight in Ishin
theme of getting kicked in the face
when the yume
1:19 sounds like a Samsung ringtone
1:19/1:33 I love this song already
Hooligans dissin yo girl so you hit ‘em with one of THESE
honestly this is too good for battles with thugs
yakuza 5 is so good i could die
Akiyama kun
Nanda owari ka?
I much prefer his Speed Star Theme in Yakuza 4, but this is pretty good too
My question is, how did they MAKE this theme? God damn it probably took years to make this song alone.
LEGS
yeah no this is better than speed star
HONESTLY. I fucking love both, but this one slaps so much harder
Speed star feels more like something that'll play in the chase sections
WE NEED MORE AKIYAMA!!!!
everyone talks about 1:19, but 1:43 is fuckin nuts
Akiyama's sausage fingers are distracting me
Radwimps, people. This is a cover of Radwimps.
bangar
Haha kick boy go WEE WO WOO weewowoo WEE WO WOO
Welcome my name is akiyama and I’m a guy who gives loans to people how much you want me to loan you?
50,000,000.
Yeah true
Speed star tho
E WANT AKIYAMA
Ewan T Akiyama
Akiyama better atleast have a cameo in yakuza 8 or gaiden otherwise im going to cry
he’s poundmate now
he’s in infinite wealth🙏🏽
Wish granted!
大阪(蒼天堀)にあってるな。
Not as good as Speed Star, but still pretty decent.
OTEの部分も入ってるな
pog
They did my boy a fucking crime making his part 2.5 chapters instead of hulk smash boring ahh saejima
I dunno what they did but Akiyama feels like ASS in this game
Wasn't he super OP in 4? That could be a reason.
who me?
I can't be the only one who doesn't like Akiyama's 5 and 6 model
He looks fat
@@Fodimin his cool ass stubble is also missing. His clothes look oversaturated and his skin looks ill
I just think his hair looks strange in 6
his skin tone is kinda weird in 5 and in 6 he looks so different lol

Yakuza 4 his theme is better
no
I would say yeah but then 1:17 kicks in.
Speed star is def one of the best songs of the Yakuza soundtrack list I agree
This doesn't sound like a regular street battle theme, but rather like a long battle theme
