@@Solidude he was supposed to be in LAD but he was busy, so yes since RGG is also growing rapidly the budget's probably gonna go up too and we'll see more of Akiyama on other games.
@@dimactavicus I noticed too that Yakuza is now getting popular. I remember people back then saying Yakuza was not a triple a game (or was it the studio who wasn't). Now it looks like it's getting up there with all the tech and popularity it has today 👌
@@Solidude definitely. Yakuza 7 was explicitly marketed for an international audience with ichiban’s more relatable personality and the more diverse cast, and it seemed to have worked. That alongside the memes have propelled yakuza to its well deserved fame.
That's his character he voiced in the video game series Yakuza. I just mashed up cutscenes in the game and make them dark a bit to kind of fit the song.
I could see “The Singing Man in the Sewers” being a sub story in a Yakuza game lol. You have to go to Children’s Park at night to hear someone singing “My Way” then you have to go down there and investigate.
Yeah and the gameplay would be : 1. Give the man a cough drops or medicine. 2. Find thugs then fight and take their clothes to give it to the sewer man. 3. Bring him to a karaoke place. Mission Passed: Respect + (oh wait wrong game)
@@Solidude lol. You get to help a homeless man become a national star because of his amazing voice. I think RGG studio should hire you to make substories man!
So the lyrics is a bit awkward cause Akiyama's VA was playing a mouse on the movie he sang this so... he's a mouse singing My Way. The movie scene: th-cam.com/video/_5xqHR9WIxQ/w-d-xo.html Lyrics: Ima funade no toki ga chikadzuite naze tatazumi watashi wa furi kaeru tōku atenaku tabi shita wakai hi yo yukou mayowazu ni arinomama ai to namida to hohoemi ni afure ima omoeba tanoshī omoide o kimi ni tsugeyou mayowazu ni iku koto o subete kokoro no kimeta mama nezumi ni wa nezumi no hokori ga arukara shinjita kono michi o watashi wa yuku dake te o furou kokoro no kimeta mama ni arinomama
It is so much funnier when you realise what this song is actually from. He's the silly Seth MacFarlane mouse from Sing in the Japanese version of the film.
Awesome video as usual man! Side note, I’m really glad Akiyama didn’t get killed at the end of 4, not just because he’s a great character, but also because they’ve pulled that “turning your back on an enemy with a gun” cliché too many times.
It's a shame that he may not appear in Yakuza series anymore. I actually would like to see him at least in non-voiced substory. Or if in Yakuza 8 Ichiban will eventually get a business just like in 7, Akiyama could help him with money or become his rival at the end.
it's sad we never got to see Akiyama in Yakuza 7. In Ryu ga Gotoku online it was revealed that Ichiban and Akiyama are friends, and if i heard right, he was even gonna be a playable character in 7
Oh my gosh. This is one of the greatest things I have seen on TH-cam. Beerus-sama is just too good of a singer. LOL! (The irony that I just did that mission in Yakuza:SoL. XD) Great work, yet again, Kyoudai Soli!
I believe every recorded song nowadays have some kind of auto tune to repair parts of the song to save time from re recording. But for someone like Yamadera who can do a lot of voices, this was probably nothing or they recorded many takes then edited them into one.
OMG this is absolutely beautiful I'm crying here listening to this 😢🤦♂️ Koichi Yamadera's voice is amazing so much and it's no wonder why we all love Akiyama he's the ultimate 🥰🙏
When you have money, anything you say is true, you can have everything you want 😂 Now I know why Mine loves money more than his life, 地獄の沙汰も金次第, money is all 😂 Become rich is so easy but become poor is too hard for Akiyama 😂
They should make Akiyama his own game, now that would be something. By that I mean a standalone game where he is the protagonist not random people developing a game for him....but imagine that 😂
@@Solidude Of course it could be awesome, but how are they gonna make the story? Even in Y5 Akiyama felt kinda forced into the plot. He's already a Kamuro legend, dramatically rich and happy dude. I don't see any way for getting him motivated to do something except "SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO KAMUROCHO GOTTA GO SAVE IT AGAIN"
Heh I don't need a studio for that. I only need my room, internet and no shame for humanity 😆😂😂 Thanks for asking! My life right now is quite uneventful. I need a social life outside the internet again lol. I'm a bit troubled mentally I discovered and I gotta make life changes soon 👍 How about you? Something special happened in your job at the funeral?
@@Solidude, yeah, funeral services was fine. My manager would let myself handle every parlours now. They hope I can do photo editing or front desk. But I didn't because I just hate facing computer all day. Yep we all need social life after this damn long quarantine
im gonna lose my mind. somebody in this comment section wrote "listen koichi yamadera ao tsuki" but i cant find this comment and i cant find ao tsuki. i listened ao tsuki 3-4 months ago but i cant find it now
I forgot about this but this was from a movie Sing (2016) and he was singing about being a rat. Try looking up the original english version but I forgot by now if Seth Macfarlane's version is about being a rat but try looking it up for now.
Also, interesting fact for everyone: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Way_killings Basically, you sing My Way in philippines. You get killed or potentially even die in an accident. It's a cursed song, don't sing this in public here LOL.

Still sucks though, would love to see him play a major role if just for one final game

Sing isnt a Disney movie, has he dubbed any Disney ones??? Asking cause im interested on which one?
We're all fans of Kiryu or Majima until we meet Akiyama.
Are you saying Majima and Kiryu aren't as good!?
@@romansnider4676 Nah its because this dude easily catches your eye due to extreme swagger and sexiness like Kiryu and Majima
@@frootloop3568 extreme swagger and sexiness 😂😂, true actually
Boys love Majima and Kiryu. Cultured boys love Akiyama. Men love Saejima.
@@GoldRustt oh yeah?
Donald Duck never fails to make me feel peace whenever he sings
🤣🤣🤣
Donald Duck literally kicks and wall-pounds you haha
The way i jumped back in great suprise when akiyama kissed the woman and i started blushing cuz of suprise such a precious moment that looked..
I love Koichi Yamadera's voice, but I have no context for this, literally what on earth is going on.
That's his character he voiced in the video game series Yakuza. I just mashed up cutscenes in the game and make them dark a bit to kind of fit the song.
@@Solidude Fun fact: Yamadera is the current seiyu for Zenigata from Lupin the 3rd and Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. Enjoy!
Koichi Yamadera singing My Way doesn't appear in Yakuza but did appear in Sing, as he dubbed the rat guy in the Japanese Dub of the movie.

There you go kids. Why spend money on bulletproof vest when you can use the money to block the bullets instead.

Amazing idea! Too bad we probably won’t see akiyama in another RGG game again (T ^ T)
@@alpha_star3584 how do you know? Maybe he'll return someday. I just hope we get to see him in Yakuza 8
this song is akiyama's bakamitai
But I thought Bakamitai was his.. well .... Bakamitai
Kiryu going up the ladder was cursed. I love it
Akiyama is so lovable, even daigo who never met akiyama before now was sad that he might be dying

Money doesn't really matter if you're not truly happy
It is so much funnier when you realise what this song is actually from. He's the silly Seth MacFarlane mouse from Sing in the Japanese version of the film.
If Akiyama died there, the game would be even more depressing..🤣
Awesome video as usual man!
Side note, I’m really glad Akiyama didn’t get killed at the end of 4, not just because he’s a great character, but also because they’ve pulled that “turning your back on an enemy with a gun” cliché too many times.

Thanks God they did not.

I have only three words for this:
This is beautiful.
the ninja onions are shoving the onions in my FUCKING eyes rn.
nice pfp
People are mentioning that he’s the mouse from Sing, but that mouse has the same voice as Brian Griffin
I like when kiryu jump and fly

if only this was on spotify
Damn, this is just so perfect. As perfect as Akiyama. ❤️
That's good to see Akiyama sing English songs
This video is so good.

now i need akiyama video like this but he sings circle of life instead.. because I miss this man

Great work, yet again, Kyoudai Soli!
The "Song of Life" is My Way at least in this video 😆. Thanks again Kyoudai Fenn!
I'm here from the meme but man this guy has a good voice. Or he has really good autotune
I believe every recorded song nowadays have some kind of auto tune to repair parts of the song to save time from re recording. But for someone like Yamadera who can do a lot of voices, this was probably nothing or they recorded many takes then edited them into one.
This is Yamadera's actual voice lol I can't hear any effects besides reverb
I don't know what's more beautiful the editing in the last minute or his voice
OMG this is absolutely beautiful I'm crying here listening to this 😢🤦♂️ Koichi Yamadera's voice is amazing so much and it's no wonder why we all love Akiyama he's the ultimate 🥰🙏
This is canon if you ask me
Voice of a god lol
of destruction
Why does it feel like he actually sang this 😂
Это поёт мышь из Зверопоя. Коичи озвучивал её (актёр Акиямы).
haha the description lmfao, otherwise this is fine art
Thanks man! (I'm still waiting for that guy to accept my friend request so the The Heat Moves can finally gather and talk soon LOL).
@@Solidude haha, i can take all the time i get to perfect my voice
Filipino Yakuza fans like me got worried of this song and hearing Koichi singing it ngl
Perfection
This is so bueatifal and the fact that it isn't even AI generated
the best video I've ever seen in my life :')
i want mr a to hug me and say everything would be okay
also kiryu is very respectful, letting his fren sleep for some extra minutes.

the music starting after munakata shoots him is beautiful
This is so underrated

He should just become a singer or a Taekwondo teacher instead of being homeless. Why does that not cross his mind? lol
