Sound of Breath was good for the scene where Kiryu and Kaoru kissed at the end and the scene where Majima sees Makoto Makimura again, but not for the scene where Kiryu gets stabbed. this was perfect for that scene.
I agree, but at the same time this song wouldn't fit Kiwami 2 since the soundtrack is so different. They'd have to rework the instrumental at least for it to not feel out of tone with the rest of the soundtrack. Kind of like what they did with Out Law's Lullaby.
@@austinj.decareaux8830 I don't know why everyone is disagreeing with you, it's literally the truth. Kiwami 2's soundtrack wouldn't fit Yakuza 2 and vice versa. Both games have completely different OSTs with different ideas.

I prefer the rock song cause it fits my tastes more but it's way too angsty for Kiryu and his more stoic way of dealing with his pain here, he's swallowing his emotions and brooding in the rain pretending it's not as bad as he feels, it's how blues has generally upbeat tunes with sad vocals behind those tunes. The rock song is way too on the nose and sounds like it should be for some more youthful and more emotional late teen/young adult character who's still learning how to deal with problems like this. Basically, cool song but it completely ruins the mood and takes it in a laughable tone because it just does not work for the type of man Kiryu is.
@@Crowens This song is distracting. I'm never thinking about Kiryu or his stabbing when this song plays. I'm thinking "Man this song is so f***ing great!" that I end up forgetting that there's a plot the song is supposed to compliment.
@@quanha7490 "wow, look at me I'm a hardcore Yakuza fan" Kiwami 2 has flaws but it's a very good remake. Go and play a game that is 20 years old for ps2 if you don't like a objectively good remake
@@quanha7490 do you sound as cool to yourself when you realize you're just being rude to other people on the internet because of a song that got replaced in a video game when it was remade?
The original will always be superior. The Sound of Breath was a horrible choice. I get they lost the license, but why couldn't RGG get a similar song? SIM just doesn't fit this scene, like they do with Pandemonium.
I like the new song, and it also feels appropriate for a game set in 2006, lol. But I also really like the Cowboy Bebop vibe this song gives to the scene, although I never played the original Yakuza 2.
@@bluefrenk1750 The song may fit the time period, but it does nothing but harm to the original scenes tone and atmosphere. Making Kiryu in the rain look like a joke in comparison
Tbh, I find that this song fits the rain scene in Chapter 12, while the new song fits the scene after the final boss. Then again, I love both Crazy Ken Band and SiM so I may be biased. I think we can all agree that the stab sound effect was completely unnecessary and a shitty addition though.
@@velonian5154 you think so? Snake eater always felt more like a James Bond sort of song. I have no idea what it’s called but the way the lyrics work with the melody it has a very Japanese sort of vibe. Like if you’ve heard wario wares 4 seasons listen to the way that sounds, it’s like that.
@@462n Well I think what most people are saying is that the new song doesn't fit the scene's original artistic intent nearly as much as the original, and I would agree with that opinion.
Imma piss of my fellow Yakuza fans with this hot take: This song on its own is much better than Sound of Breath. But its infinitely worse for Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2 in comparison with Sound of Breath because this song is distracting in game. This song, as glorious as it is, is so bombastic and loud, it actually distracts from the scene. And this may possibly just be my own skill issue, but this song made me more invested in the song than the scene of Kiryu being stabbed.
@@OneManCast from him getting stabbed. the stock stabbing sound in K2 ruined the shock value of the original having the music convey it. in 2 there’s a very subtle break in the rain when the man bumps into kiryu

a new soundtrack just BGM that's all i know

biggercow789 that sounds pretty horrible
Just mute that scene and play the original version in the background, it still matches up perfectly.
Incredible band that plays an incredible song. Thanks for helping me discover them. This game's OST is just brilliant.
They keep using this song in the "Ryo Ga Gotoku Movie".
It is not noticeable at all that they keep repeating the same song.
Im glad i grew up with this song in my childhood. Very nostalgic
Gives me shivers whenever I listen to it
You sure that's not the knife piercing your skin?
@@cjsyblik3296 ...shit
This one fits more for OGs Yakuza and sound of braith fits the modern yakuza, but ngl this one is perfect with the era and story of 2/K2
Perfect song to listen to when roaming the streets of London
Both songs are great and give the scene two distinct atmospheres that are both enjoyable.
No excuse for the knife sound, though.

Sim- 'The Sound of Breath' is still a good song for the scene, but can't beat the original. It's iconic.
my question is
