Yeah, he's cool, but I didn't think she'd LOSE IT like she has. But on the other hand, I do get it. He's mature, smart, and charismatic; hiding his true self behind a veneer of a no-good loafer only for it to come out when he needs it to. He's the first Yakuza protagonist with a degree, and has the voice of Spike. I just didn't think he'd be her guy. She loved how devoted Mishima was in 0 more than anything else. I thought that she'd be put off by his playboy vibes
When you get one of the best male voices of the 90s VA scene and the face of the female VA scene in the early/mid-2000s, you're definitely in for a ride.
For people who don't know: Hana-chan is voiced by Aya Hirano (JP singer and VA for Haruhi, Lucy, and Izumi Konata), that's why she sings so beautifully...
Not surprised if people don't hear about Aya Hirano much; at least in the past 15 years. For context; she had a sexcapade scandal at the height of her career and that bombs her VA and singing career due to fan backlash (and you know how bad Japanese fan backlash could be) as well as the industry as a whole doesn't want vet involved. It's said she's still active during that time but under aliases.
@@bloomingblossom5269so she had sex some stalker paparazzi found out told the public and they're upset? Does it has to do with the whole idol culture thing?
The problem is Akiyama's VA is famous and expensive. Hence while he played such a minor role in y8 and was absent in 7 (with Nick Ogata taking a similar role). It is difficult to get him in the game's.
For context, she played the Rain Drops first, so the clip has her reactions in reverse order. She figured out pretty quickly Akiyama's singing talent just from his humming at 3:08 before actually hearing his pipes on Pure Love Kamurocho.
Pure Love in Kamurocho. The most underrated karaoke song, man. It deserves more attention. Also, this is the same man, Koichi Yamadera, that voices Donald Duck in JP. And let's not forget Hana's VA, Aya Hirano, with that amazing voice, especially with Ashura Komachi in ISHIN!
That i don't see happening unless someone gives her PS3 with a copy of Dead Souls or she has to run it on an emulator for stable framerates. Because of boi that hasn't aged well with its framerates.
The first song about a hostess and her client in love but not sure if its real or just business. Akiyama VA has an incredible range of characters hes Lord Beerus and donald duck.
As a diehard old school Yakuza fan, one thing I'll never take away from Yakuza 0, is that is was one HELL of a gateway drug for newcomers. Welcome to my favourite series, everybody. I hope you enjoy your stay. :)
Yakuza 3 was pretty disappointing in terms of karaoke after Kiwami 2. And then 4 came along and brought two of the best songs in the series. Pure Love and Machine Gun Kiss. And while Machine Gun Kiss reappeared in later games, with 5 making it even better if you do it in Kiryu's taxi outfit, Pure Love never came back in the main series.
I feel like that’s kinda unfair to Yakuza 3, since it’s karaoke is being compared to a version that comes after 8 games of improvements, compared to 3, which was the first game with karaoke
Most voice actors, especially female ones, can sing. Especially Aya Hirano whose Haruhi singing God Knows makes her the most popular VA at the time. Until that happened
When you hire both Yamadera Koichi and Hirano Aya, you get your money's worth.
Money woof*
whoa Aya Hirano?! Haruhi!!
Of course Bae has become Akiyama fan immediately, that was easy to predict.
We all knew it ever since she decides to go all of the Yakuza games let's be real
I mean, let's be real. Who doesn't love Akiyama?
The man has a hot voice even I'm attracted to it
@@manncake6828 it's just the Seiyuu performance. It's the overall character
@@squalleonkeneddyheart4191 still can't believe it's the same va for Donald duck and beruus
Knew Bae would like Akiyama.
Didn't expect her to go feral.
she legit started screaming and running around her room when he kissed lily
The legend himself is here! CyricZ your guides helped me plenty of times thank you very much for making them!
the legend himself.

Yo it CyricZ the guide guy. Your guide is very helpful😊

If only Bae had known about this song before her 3D live. I need to see Bae and Irys duet this
It's never too late
For people who don't know: Hana-chan is voiced by Aya Hirano (JP singer and VA for Haruhi, Lucy, and Izumi Konata), that's why she sings so beautifully...
Explains why Bae thought the voice sounded familiar
K
KONATA?

@@bloomingblossom5269 She was massive back then. Easily the biggest VA in the industry.
@@bloomingblossom5269so she had sex some stalker paparazzi found out told the public and they're upset? Does it has to do with the whole idol culture thing?
The two best singing voices in the entire franchise.
The voice actor for Hana-chan is Haruhi Suzumiya. She also Acting Migi in Parasyte.
She also voices Lucy Heartfilia, and Haruka's VA is Happy.
and Akiyama is Spike from Cowboy Bebop
Haruhi x Spike duet is something else
@@derpedfox ryoga from ranma and donald duck too
Gyunei Guss from Gundam CCA too@@derpedfox
@@athras8822 My life changed forever when I notice Haruka was frikin Kagura from Gintama lol
Hana chan VA literally the Anime VA of the 00's so of course its going to be good
Dont look for God Knows Live
Akiyamas voice is like hot butter sliding down my back
I cannot WAIT for her to listen to Akiyama version of Baka Mitai in Yakuza 5, quite literally the best version of that song.
So true I wish they bring back Akiyama to this day but I heard rumors its due to some internal stuff that I cant remember.
The problem is Akiyama's VA is famous and expensive. Hence while he played such a minor role in y8 and was absent in 7 (with Nick Ogata taking a similar role). It is difficult to get him in the game's.
Schedule issues, he's a very busy man.
For context, she played the Rain Drops first, so the clip has her reactions in reverse order. She figured out pretty quickly Akiyama's singing talent just from his humming at 3:08 before actually hearing his pipes on Pure Love Kamurocho.
A little reminder that Akiyama's VA is also Donald Duck's VA
Pure Love in Kamurocho. The most underrated karaoke song, man. It deserves more attention.
Also, this is the same man, Koichi Yamadera, that voices Donald Duck in JP.
And let's not forget Hana's VA, Aya Hirano, with that amazing voice, especially with Ashura Komachi in ISHIN!
2:03 In Raindrops they are my favorite between them😮😮😮Especially that Akiyama huming😢😢
God I hope Bae can somehow play Dead Souls if only for Ryuji singing.
That i don't see happening unless someone gives her PS3 with a copy of Dead Souls or she has to run it on an emulator for stable framerates. Because of boi that hasn't aged well with its framerates.
I doubt that'll happen anytime soon. Bae wants to rush to Pirate Yakuza as quickly as possible.
And Majima Lets Get to the Top
While she likely won't play it, it'd be nice to see her reactions to Majima's karaoke in that game.
Aya Hirano is a lot of things and being a great singer is one of them.
You never seen her singing live.
When people talk about Genie in Japan, they refer to him. He is also a good imitator of different sounds.
Hana's singing voice got me reaching Nirvana
Akiyama has the best singing voice💖💖💖
Love Bae's :D face, reminds me of Biboo's :D
Wait that voice... is that the GOAT Aya Hirano herself? xD
This is basically the Colombian soap opera Ugly Betty but with the boss treating Betty better from the start
- Hana, yo a usted la amo
- Ay Don Akiyama, cómo así?
@@DrustVGAmo esto xd
I mean come on, who wouldn't love both Hana and Akiyama Dynamic
Heck, who wouldn't love Akiyama? Lmao
"Oi!Oi! Go Go Hana-chan!"
Seriously, Aya's singing talent is godlike.
Yakuza needs more Akiyama
Someday we'll get that Akiyama solo game...
There's more to life than money ya know?
ほんとうにそれ
I agree, but I raise you this: Yakuza needs more Hana
Agree and shinada solo game too
I'm getting random flashes of the Railgun OPs with these songs.
How many you guys wanna see Bae do covers of Pure Love in Kamurocho and Raindrops?
The first song about a hostess and her client in love but not sure if its real or just business. Akiyama VA has an incredible range of characters hes Lord Beerus and donald duck.
Mr Kick Em
Dick Kick Em himself.
I still miss hana to this day my love 😢
I was surprised by how amazing Hana-chan's voice is during singing, I was mesmerized.
i can feel bae's feeling when hearing hana singing, because i have same reaction too
As a diehard old school Yakuza fan, one thing I'll never take away from Yakuza 0, is that is was one HELL of a gateway drug for newcomers. Welcome to my favourite series, everybody. I hope you enjoy your stay. :)
I'm really hoping Bae plays Dead Souls to at least hear Majima's "Get to the Top" 😂
I'll be in Pirate Yakuza
Has to be one of my favorite songs, with this very combo too.
Aya Hirano is no joke, past scandals aside.
Isn't there a line of dialogue on this game where Hana's worried about being assaulted & Akiyama is like: "Who would want to r@%# you?"
There's a whole other cutscene that is way more problematic than that in 4
I thought this was more of a reference to how she ends up being able to beat everyone up
other times he flirts with her a little
Ah, Subaru's JP voice from Kingdom Hearts franchise. 😂
Hana-chan best girl
I hope she gets to play karaoke one more time post campaign
Please give me more Akiyama. The bit I got in the new games weren't enough.
Akiyama, the best singer of the Yakuza universe, and that when Kiryu exists. Of course she'd love him.
the momment i knew Bae badlly falling in love with Majima from 0.. i knew she gonna fall to Akiyama XD
When is she listening akiyama's baka mitai!!
She needs to play 5 in order for akiyama to sing bakamitai and see his bum side
If you think Hana's singing here is amazing wait till you hear her sing an enka song
Is there a clip of Roberu or Subaru reacting to this? I wanna see because they are already far ahead of the story
For Subaru, yes
ua-cam.com/video/Qs8UOZa0GDk/v-deo.html
Someone tell Bae to listen to Ryuji’s version of the song.
Duet Cover with Oda when?
...is bae totally unaware who Hana's voice actor is i mean.. Hirano Aya is a legend in the anime and anisong community
HANAS VOICE ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Majima has been buried once again, not to come back to #1 spot until Ichiban's game
What's funny is that she is just about an hour or so before Majima shows up
Sounds like Akiyama managed to quit smoking after all
Bae too cute
You yet have to find a person who does not like Akiyama. Glad to see she is having fun though
Best kareoke song in the series, no contest. Slightly prefer the version with Ryuji singing from Dead Souls tho lmfao
This same song is even better in the end. Who played they know.
Yakuza 3 was pretty disappointing in terms of karaoke after Kiwami 2. And then 4 came along and brought two of the best songs in the series. Pure Love and Machine Gun Kiss. And while Machine Gun Kiss reappeared in later games, with 5 making it even better if you do it in Kiryu's taxi outfit, Pure Love never came back in the main series.
The fact that Pure Love never came back, and that Seonhee doesn't sing it with Kiryu in 8, is a goddamned crime.
I feel like that’s kinda unfair to Yakuza 3, since it’s karaoke is being compared to a version that comes after 8 games of improvements, compared to 3, which was the first game with karaoke
@@sanityismadness ...oh boy, that would have been something. Seonhee would upvote this comment
Nana?
Akiyamas Baka Mitai > Kiryus Baka Mitai
did Bae always have lipstick and the heart n X on that model?
It can be toggled on/off.
Superchunk
This is still my favourite karaoke song in the whole series and it sucks people only ever talk about some ones from like 0
はなちゃん歌上手いんよなw
彼女の一番のお気に入りが真島から秋山になったら教えてください
Akiyama is based off and voiced by Spike Spiegel
I don't think that's Hana's VA singing Pure Love...Also the character is called Hana, not Nana.
It is her VA, dude. Aya Hirano is a very very good singer.
Aya Hirano (VA of Haruhi Suzumiya) totally has the pipes to sing these songs.
@@quanha7490 Is it really? She sounds completely different when she talks than when she sings
@@Ashurman666 that's called being a good voice actor.
Most voice actors, especially female ones, can sing. Especially Aya Hirano whose Haruhi singing God Knows makes her the most popular VA at the time. Until that happened
