@@inpoppunkwetrust True but the English Karaoke is in generall pretty bad with the exception of Zhao, Chitose, a few songs from Ichi and maybe Hands and Baka Darou form Kiryu
And they should’ve had Zhao give them all singing lessons, so there’s no autotune. Really could really tell he was singing with feeling like the Japanese version.
@@DerpySnake never said that zhao va really talented singer was say he give them all singing lessons so they don’t have to use the dam autotune only 2 of the English can sing other could use lessons badly
I almost wonder if they messed it up that badly on purpose considering how one of the things you find out about him in Like A Dragon is that he’s an awful singer.
@@yof2210 definitely sounds like autotune, no human being would manually correct the pitch of ichiban's judgement and be like "yeah this shit slaps, drop it"
@@Bmaster1001 Honestly, it must be an audio mixing error on their part. Although, you are right. Why the overused autotune, it's karaoke, not a concert for 1000s of people...
I don’t know man, I definitely love that one but Robbie Daymond really be hitting those notes in ‘If I could love the one I love’ (whoever decided to pitch correct that song needs to be punished though).
All of them did so well, but I wish none of them had the voice filters. It makes them sound worse than if it was natural. Karaoke doesn't need to sound good, it just needs to sound natural.
Whoever gave the idea to pump up the auto tune to a max on the karaoke should not be mixing again, how can a poundmate(Richardson's) sound more natural lmfao it's not for a record studio.
31:21 why the fuck is the last "la" so autotuned? They used the exact same recording in Gaiden without autotune and it sounded so good, why did they have to piss on it here 😭
Alot of this is way better than I thought. Yong Yea did great on Pride from Dispair, and he did way better than Adachi's VA on Machinegun Kiss. Zao's a baller. Way too much robo voice
Adachi backup vocals: This grief ain't never gonna leave me be! But now I'm feelin' that trip to Hawaii! Pet some doggos too????? Yknow I'm kinda gettin' into this, now!
Robbie Daymond and Elizabeth Maxwell really put in stark contrast how most of the other music performances just...aren't as good. Nothing wrong with that though, it IS karaoke, just wish they didn't use autotune.
@@TheExFatalno, because that just betrays what the minigame always has been, the karaoke is a fantasy sequence/music video, an escape from reality and is best when the singing is good. When the singing is bad it’s harder to play the minigame. What I wouldn’t mind though is if when you screwed up button prompts the singing turned bad, that would be accurate.
I can understand the auto tune in the eng karaoke, especially since most of the VAs aren’t singers and it fits the karaoke vibe but like. Zhao did not deserve auto tune, Robbie Daymond can fucking SING leave his voice alone. Also Joon Gi did not need that much auto tune but it’s so funny that I’ll let it slide.
The back up singing in Seonhee's butterfly song caught me way off guard at the other karaoke spot😂😂😂 I thought it was Nanba yelling from the audience 😂
Seonhee did a great job honestly. The autotune overpowered it a bit & she did get out of breath in one section but her singing was really nice. Makes me wish they removed the autotune.
22:58 every time I hear this song dubbed now I’m thinking that video yong yea as kiryu singing this song after he just beat the shit out of a dude and he’s still on the ground and then kicking him after the last lyrics 🤣🤣🤣
Well, she does end the game alone and depressed while Ichiballs gets down with her younger, hotter replacement. So I guess the answer is yes. I love that this game teaches young people to stay away from the woke mind virus because the only thing it brings is misery. A very important lesson for today's youth that isn't being spread enough!
@@ClericV This guy thinks people are idiots and dont play the games themselves or watch the cutscenes. Woke this, woke that. They sound like idiots. Cant take them seriously.
@@Sapphire_Jack as someone said the game ends with Ichiban chasing after her Still, also While in Hawaii with the "younger, hotter replacement" Ichiban even makes a point to shut Chitose down due to him being uncomfortable with the age difference aswell as his feelings for Saeko. Please weesht about your apparent modern day Mccarthyism as now apparently everything the right disagree from is Woke ranging from minorities in media to a train line.
The English Karaoke is a real let down, but it’s clear they cheaped out on localising this game, which seems to be a trend at Sega right now. Now all we need is some people to cover the songs properly to show how they should be sung.
@@TheWeaselDaddy the songs are barely on key, even with Autotune and sound like a bunch of amateurs, which is not how they should sound. Extremely noticeable when you compare it to the Japanese dub, the lyric translation is ass and there was no effort in making the lyrics fit with the music. Then we have the fact they cast someone whose voice absolutely does not fit Kiryu, they have voice actors fumbling lines in the main story and side missions, and lip sync isn’t as accurate. You might feel they did a good job, but I don’t, the localization is a step down from the previous game in so many ways.
@@cashjacobsen2046 that may be your opinion but mine differs, the English translation is a huge let down and as someone who has a background in music I can hear and see numerous flaws in the execution. They focus too much on trying to squeeze in a literal translation and don’t try to adapt the lyrics to convey the same meaning in a way that doesn’t sound disjointed and forced. This is for the songs newly translated in 8, the ones preceding the game were fine, but 8 was a major let down.
Until this moment, it didn't even occur to me that anyone would rather play this in English. Their Japanese counterparts give such an epic performance, compared to what feels like early 90's dubbed anime. And Takaya Kuroda voice is so iconic as Kiryu, and the magic his golden singing voice he puts into every song can't be overstated. I literally enjoy every song in Japanese from every voice actor, but I'm having a hard time listening to a lot of this. Especially with all the auto tuning. Though, special shout out to Greg Chun, though. His singing voice was actually really good. Almost liked his Baka Mitai as much as the Japanese version.
My main problem is I prefer English Ichiban and Nanba. The others I could gladly take in either language... but the characters that WEREN'T introduced in 7 (and Joong Gi) really should be in Japanese. (I will say ENG Daigo and Saejima are fine, Matt Mercer as Majima does work but, oddly, I feel he sorta... he sounds like Yakuza 1 Majima without much of the madness which... is interesting but off.)
I played in Japanese and it's a damn shame they never fixed the audio-tune or re-recorded some of the vocal deliveries on certain lines. Expected a little better from them, but I guess there just wasn't enough time to fix or change that stuff. They have a limited budget, time constraints and scheduling issues for actors, audio engineers, studio time, etc. Hopefully in the next game, they cool off on the autotune, and I hope a few of the VA's find some time for a couple vocal lessons. Because personally, if I knew I was coming back for another Yakuza game, I'd want to work on my karaoke voice.
The songs that returned from 7 (The Future I Dreamed of, Nanba's Baka Mitai, Adachi's Machine Gun Kiss, Spring Breeze, Hell Stew) all sound nearly identical to how they did in 7 (with Machine Gun Kiss and Hell Stew receiving the autotune treatment; I personally think the autotune improved Adachi's MGK and I never liked HS much anyways) Joon-Gi Han and Zhao went all out for If I Could Love The One I Loved, I'd even wager they're better than the JP versions The other non-Kiryu new songs don't really have anything notable to them, they're there but I don't have much to say other than that they sound decent The Kiryu songs returning from Gaiden (TONIGHT, hands, and Baka Mitai) all sound great as well, although they definitely sounded a little better in Gaiden without the autotune, we get the benefit of Gaiden's better vocal direction here The new-new Kiryu song (Baka Darou) sounds like it was made for Yong and I will fight you on that The new-old Kiryu songs (Machine Gun Kiss and Judgment) are probably the most controversial. He could've been louder in MGK and while I did hate Judgment when I first heard it, it's started to grow on me, the only part I don't like is how he says the word Judgment at the end The only song I'd really say is bad here is Ichiban's Judgment, Ichiban's other songs had the charm of being nice and genuine, sounding like actual karaoke. Adding ungodly amounts of autotune to singing that's far from professional just ruins it and doesn't leave much redeeming qualities.
I wish they didn't stick to the exact translation of lyrics and focused on just catching the same theme but with more western writing style. The songs clearly sound worse because you have to say so much more words and the flow of lyrics doesn't align with the music. Like some music just doesn't suit the western style.. But awake, like a butterfly etc are pretty much western rock songs with like a butterfly almost like a evanescence style song with scream rap and very angelic style vocals. Even Future I dreamed of could sound much better if you just do more work on westernised lyrics.
@@Nazzy_anime no. But that's not my job. So I'm not supposed to. Also by that logic you should never criticize any form of art. So next time you play a bad game, watch a bad movie, or reading a bad book, never say it is bad unless you can make better one. That logic is dumb.
Japanese songs are like really cool and some of them are even full of emotion But man, in english it's just so awkardly funny, like, some of them are REALLY bad, mostly Yong Yea doing Kiryu and the only Joon gi Han song
To be fair, if it wasn't for the auto tune, some of the songs would be hilarious in the sort of Bad Friends IRL you know singing badly at karaoke vibe with this dub. Though Chitose and Zhao did fine in ENG and I think the ENG actors for the singing just need better direction etc
People whining about autotune 😅 honestly youve never heard of vocaloid have you? Seriously its hardly noticable. And for what its worth the emotion of the lyrics are captured great in the dub. Just be grateful we got this guys.
The problem I have with it is it ruins the good singing attempting to fix what doesn't need fixing - Robbie Daymond could've absolutely KILLED if I could love the one I loved but the autotune restricts his performance.

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
Robbie Daymond too. I mean have you hear “You’re nothing without me” Persona cover.
And also Suzie Yeung 's singing voice
Feels like in Persona series
With all thoses heartbreak songs they should've named the game "Like A Dragon : Infinite Heartbreak" or "Like A Dragon : Infinite Celibate Statut"
oh man..the Hell Stew one with zhao always makes me vibe crazy
All of them did so well, but I wish none of them had the voice filters. It makes them sound worse than if it was natural. Karaoke doesn't need to sound good, it just needs to sound natural.
Wow Zhoa really killed it
Adachi version of machine gun kiss is still my favorite
im sad they missed the opportunity for ichiban to sing pride from despair with kiryu
Not sure "cute" is the right word to explain the Geomijul's top hitman and right-hand to the leader, but honestly his singing is cute.
If im being honest... The autotune is making the singing in the english worse. It definitely feels like it would sound way better without it

You're probably the first person I've seen call him Yu to be honest, had to think for a second who that was.
Anyone else want the English dub on Spotify or is it just me?
If I could love the one I love is my favorite and playing the fool
Even in freakin’ karaoke their on the tower top
Why does Ichiban have so much autotune.. like i thought i was going insane when i heard Judgement
I think it affects certain vocals more than others, with Ichiban being affected the most probably because he hits those certain vocals a lot.
I'm just gonna say it, I don't care
Yong Yea is a decent singer
Wish they took dude's autotune off tho
He's decent, but in my opinion he doesn't fit kiryu, and also the auto tune kills him
He's not bad he just doesn't fit kiryu.
I actually really enjoy the eng version of butterfly even if its heavy with autotune. I just wish we could get a version without the backup rapping.
I feel like that they should've coach Seeonhee VA because at some point she sounds out of breath. Otherwise I think it could've been good
the only ones bearable in this dub are chitose and zhao smh
WHAT ABOUT SEONHEE?? she killed it imo
I think Greg Chun did great as Nanba.
Sad no Tomizawa singing

The bigger question is when do you find a section in most of these songs that isn't off key lol
Holy Shit, YongYea. LMAO
People whining about autotune 😅 honestly youve never heard of vocaloid have you? Seriously its hardly noticable. And for what its worth the emotion of the lyrics are captured great in the dub. Just be grateful we got this guys.
The problem I have with it is it ruins the good singing attempting to fix what doesn't need fixing - Robbie Daymond could've absolutely KILLED if I could love the one I loved but the autotune restricts his performance.
YongYea was soo bad it gave kiryu cancer
