@@TheKazuma410P Its OP in group fights, legit it can connect to multiple heat moves that finish multiple enamies in the air with style. Tho, the only downside is the boss fights, but Akiyamas arsenal is hella big so i never had trouble getting creative in the boss fights
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
Tbh even though it's one of the best themes in the game, this entire song just has a feel of familiarity. That you're doing something you do everyday, and something that you've perfected. For akiyama it's fighting like a fucking goddess.

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.
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)
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.
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.

Yakuza 4 is just Akiyama having fun and going along the ride.

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

So true! This game is PEAK.

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
Haruka has a very great and chill uncle
This has to be the definition of heavenly and 1:17 is teh hardest drop that has existed
1:19 I just see Akiyama and Haruka vibe hard to this part, head bobbing and everything
This is kicking the hype for me. Gonna keep running til I break a leg.
did you break your leg yet?
Overused joke
Them drums on every single theme, mwah
I can definitely hear Receive You in this.

@@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

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.
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..

It's Speed Star that they used in Infinite Wealth

1:19/1:33 I love this song already
theme of getting kicked in the face
Akiyama kun
honestly this is too good for battles with thugs
yakuza 5 is so good i could die
1:19 sounds like a Samsung ringtone
when the yume
I used to pick fights all over Sotenbori just to hear this
My question is, how did they MAKE this theme? God damn it probably took years to make this song alone.
Nanda owari ka?
Hooligans dissin yo girl so you hit ‘em with one of THESE
WE NEED MORE AKIYAMA!!!!
LEGS
I much prefer his Speed Star Theme in Yakuza 4, but this is pretty good too
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

Haha kick boy go WEE WO WOO weewowoo WEE WO WOO
everyone talks about 1:19, but 1:43 is fuckin nuts

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
Akiyama's sausage fingers are distracting me
E WANT AKIYAMA
Ewan T Akiyama
大阪(蒼天堀)にあってるな。
Speed star tho
OTEの部分も入ってるな
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!
Not as good as Speed Star, but still pretty decent.
who me?
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.
pog
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

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
