I appreciate how for Judgement, despite the fact that Ichi and Nishiki share their Voice Actor (Kazuhiro Nakaya), they re-recorded the audio to fit in more with Ishi's character and attitude. Details like that matter and make these games special.
i dont know why they autotuned the fuck out of the new song dubs. they didnt do that in 7, so why for 8? it's supposed to be karaoke, for crying out loud.
The thing is though, he nailed Shirakaba in LJ:KF, but the casting director did a fucky wucky by making him voice a 60 year old chain smoker. This ain't his role.@@moron4
@@jeffreyw901 Like, genuinely, he fits better as a nerdy yet buff guy who you can respect. His voice just doesn't have the same impact when he's a 60 year old who's broken because of all the shit in his life.
thankfully all of the honolulu city lights versions sound really good, definitely gonna be a new favorite. Idr if they did this for LaD but i hope the Spotify release includes the different dub versions since that english version is really great imo
I don't know if it's intentional, but I love that Hell Stew sounds so much worse than it did in Yakuza 7's english dub. I cannot say the same in the slightest for Judgement; it's bad in ways it shouldn't be.
Damn, knowing Satoru Iguchi from King Gnu is going to be a playable party member i really kinda wished he would get a part in the game's karaoke. Can't have em all i guess 😅
First Ada in RE4, now even Yakuza has better Chinese dub than the English one, hate to say it but America VA industry really needs to get its shit together.
The thing is, the english VA will never be able to beat the japanese and the chinese VA's, because they take their jobs very seriously. Whereas the other is more focused on politics and other nonsense than actually creating something unique.
@Wake_up._This_isnt_your_world So instead of actually making the logical conclusion of the voices being miscast (which really is only kiryu, literally everyone else does really good.) You pinned it on some magical political ghost as the reason. All 3 countries have tons of great voice actors, it really isn’t their fault.
Personally i think some of the english cast is mid imo. Kiryu english one is bad asf, and it doesn't help either that it's VA is a egotistical type of guy, who thinks he's better than everyone else, when he's not. At the very least, they could've brought his old VA from yakuza 1, which was pretty decent for it's time. And besides, only a few english VA's are actually great. However, it's weird incorporating them on japanese characters. That's like making arthur morgan have a japanese VA, don't you think? Still, they do a better job at this type of stuff, because they commit seriously on what they do. Just compare any RGG game, vs a AAA western game. It's nothing about politics. It's about commitment. Literally any and all games that sell the most out there, came from companies that originated in japan. Big ones, such as sega and nintendo (i think atari too) all came from japan. (and also technological advancement too)
@@Wake_up._This_isnt_your_worldnah, the abysmal kiryu performance is most definitely due to politics. They hired him due to his race (woke bs) and his RUclips clout, instead of finding a talented VA. This can be verified by looking at the original English VA's statement on Twitter. I think YOU need to wake up lol
Here is how I would rank it with the Eng Dub Karaoke from best to worst: 1.) Honolulu City Lights- [The Eng VA for Chitose freakin killed it with her beautiful voice and I could barely even notice the autotune.] 2.) Hell Stew- [It's pretty much the same version as Yakuza 7, Kaiji Tang is an amazing Eng VA but not really that good of a singer but he makes a passable effort for karaoke standards.] 3.) Judgement and Bakamitai- [While I'm open to giving YongYea a chance as Kiryu and I think he does an alright job thus far (At least it's better than Lily Gao's Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 Remake), but I'm sorry to say that he just can't sing to the point where the autotune is way too noticeable to which Greg Chun's Nanba does better job at Bakamitai than him. These two songs will remain at the bottom with a tie as we probably get more english karaoke songs when the game releases until They decide to do a retake and fix this badly sang mess.]
Liu Beichen, here is the same VAs: Master Chief - Halo Infinite(Simplified Chinese) P-3 - Atomic Heart Jack Matt - Dying Light 2 Carlos Oliveira - RE3 Remake Owlbert - Honkai Star Rail
We all just appreciate how God awful the English voice for Kiryu is in the English version of this game? Truly there is no game I have seen more deserving of a Razzie award.
English dub for 8 is a sign as to the low effort nature of Western voice acting. Nobody can sing, and nobody does a voice that sounds like the thing they're trying to replicate. While Japan and China put in effort, English dubbing is soulless.
Hey guys i think the english and china voice is recorded separately without the music or smth else. Def. The different method they use from the japanesse
most people give crap about Kiryu's eng dub... But I actually like his singing here. He got a lot of Kiryu's nuances down here. The only problem I can really say if I am forced to is just that Yongyea sounds a bit too young
YongYea really doesnt fit Kiryu at all. He doesnt sound as 'tough' as his other VAs and damn, he really cant sing. (Also i heard a bit of Autotune in Judgemenr) Btw, whos Chitoses VA? She killed it
Imo Chitose's song is great in all dubs. Rest is crap in ENG, CHN is meh ok, Other songs in JP good as usual. I must say Chitose's face close up is very AI memeable. I smell new bakamitai type memes
Japanese dub is still too legendary, long running and familiar. But considering the first time LAD gets an CN dub I'd say the VAs do a very decent impression of Kiryu and Ichiban, albeit sounding more restrained compared to OG
Kiryus English voice actor can’t sing. Japanese and Chinese so much better because they have talent and treat it more seriously than dub actors. They care.
Really sucks that all the english karaoke songs....suck. They all have some autotune applied to them, or are just poor performances overall. I loved the voice acting of the english cast in Y7, especially from Kaiji Tang. But after playing 3-6 (I previously played 0,K1 and K2), I think I'll just stick with the JP track for Infinite Wealth.
I feel like the hate against english judgement is a bit undeserved, like sure it sounds worse the the literal band singer for japanese voice but its not bad
I'm sorry, but judgement in english is absolutely god awful imo, especially the refrain. Like, the word "together". You can CLEARLY hear the AI going absolute bonkers here. And on the "judgment!" part, you can clearly hear the AI here, because of how off the timing is. This might be subjective, but imho, this is by far, the worst song in english dub of all yakuza games in history. It just sounds so much robotic than human here. Idk wtf they did, but it was awful!
Oh and another note: Notice the lyric say: "A young man left to meet his maker" Did you noticed something off here? Here's what he actually said. And by "he" i mean the AI: "A yOUng man WAS to meet his maker". Wth just happened here?
I agree, it wasn't the best but it's not too bad to me personally. Also as a native chinese speaker myself, seeing the praise for the CN ver of Judgement is pretty funny bc I thought it was mid at best 😂 (they sound ok when they speak though)
honestly am surprised Chinese dub was this good, English though butchered Kiryu in his last game, Ichiban was ok. Yong Yea was such a miscast a 50+ year old Kiryu, had he voiced someone younger then it would have worked out, but Kiryu? not even close. Honestly even the Chinese VA did better than Yong Yea and good Chinese dubs are rare.

RGG: our VAs must sing before getting cast
Dubbing company: fuck it, we got autotune
If only they removed the autotune, I would’ve liked it more
@@ryubeno14 and got a professional to sing Kiryu's part
i dont know why they autotuned the fuck out of the new song dubs. they didnt do that in 7, so why for 8? it's supposed to be karaoke, for crying out loud.
Honolulu city lights dub is immaculate
Chinese Dub doesn't have autotune
Man, the Chinese singing is not only awesome, but sounds like the same characters speaking Chinese without sounding forced.
Yeah, it's extremely good
But most Chinese just hate it
Like holy shit, the chinese VAs KILLED IT. Sounds great.
That's what happens when a VA gets hired due to TALENT rather than NEPOTISM and RUclips CLOUT.
Doubt how you claim "most". From what I saw, most Chinese gamers appreciated what SEGA did for the Chinese localization.@@michael99812
Chitose's all version are actually amazing, whoever the eng/ch VA is, theyre on point
It’s The voice actor for Franky from One Piece
you're not including the best voice actress Anju Inami
Very impressive lineup of songs.
Judgement is heat with Ichiban playing Nishikiyama’s parts now.
Technically still the same given the voice actor lmao
Nice touch to have Ichiban on Nishikiyamas role on that song, but kinda of sad thing to see as well.
And ichiban jokingly shouting kyoudai at the beginning
Love how in the English dub for Hell Stew, in some parts, the others join in alongside Kasuga
English dub of Judgement sounds like AI
for real. autotune sounds too prevalent, the VA could sing
@@csgoyuri6413Yong Yea just sucks as Kiryu, he probably could've been a good Ichiban

IT'S JUDGMENT TIME
thankfully all of the honolulu city lights versions sound really good, definitely gonna be a new favorite. Idr if they did this for LaD but i hope the Spotify release includes the different dub versions since that english version is really great imo
Both the English and chinese version sounds surprisingly good
In Eng version you can still hear autotune
i think the english version sounds absolutely terrible, its super shaky and there is so much distortion ughhhhh
@@grellswifeit doesn’t really overwhelm the song that much though
@@slaxis3926 to me it does
I love when Kiryu said "It's Judgemet Time!" and the judged all over the place.
Honolulu city night is goddamn good holy shit
All version is good, I can’t pick which ones better
Can’t wait for the full version
They really didnt need to modulate / autotune the English VA for Honolulu. Her performance was plenty 🔥🔥 without it
Honolulu city lights ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I genuinely can't believe they had Kiryu say "It's Judgement Time".
That's not even a joke for those that didn't see/hear it. Check 6:16
It even worse because it yong saying it😂
I loved it when he said its Judgement time and Judgemented all over the place
Say what u want about yong's version, but ichi's version of judgment dub is genuinely bad just because of the autotune
@@PeterEgbuna-ne9bp As in the backup vocals or is there actually a Judgement cover for Ichiban? Because if its the backup vocals I agree.
I still can’t get over how weird english Kiryu sounds saying “justice” using only 2 syllables
honolulu city lights in english is actually pretty good
I don't know if it's intentional, but I love that Hell Stew sounds so much worse than it did in Yakuza 7's english dub. I cannot say the same in the slightest for Judgement; it's bad in ways it shouldn't be.
Nah I think this version of hell stew is better, more on beat
ey yo that Chinese Dub aint bad :O
It really is pretty good, if someone told me that Kuroda and ichibans VA could speak fluent Chinese I'd believe it just based on this
Judgement in English sounds cursed lmao
Literally stuff of nightmares
😅
Damn Hell Stew in English was actually way better than I expected
Most english songs from Yakuza 7 aka Yakuza lad are pretty decent in english
All I’m saying is, Darryl Kuyrlo probably would’ve sang judgement better
He doesn't want major roles. Likes the quiet life. 7 appearance was a one time cameo.
@@MugdhaMahdiShams source?
I love how her song was like saying I love you to ichiban and he's just singing about a hot pot
i like how the chinese kiryu just sounds like yongyea with a little splash of Takaya kuroda. maybe i should do a playthrough in the chinese dub too.
Yoooo that judgement Chinese ver. Is actually pretty good 😂
Damn, knowing Satoru Iguchi from King Gnu is going to be a playable party member i really kinda wished he would get a part in the game's karaoke. Can't have em all i guess 😅
Ah, probably the same reason the Judge Eyes series does not have the karaoke minigame in.
English dub killing it…. Except Kiryu.
oh... you added the english dub with yongyea.... thanks.... i...i love it....
AY AY WAIT A MINUTE IS THAT AMON PLAYING KEYBOARD FOR KIRYU AND ICHIBAN?!
looks like andre richardson to me 👀

oh god Chitose's singing is perfect, no surprise because her seiyuu is Inami Anju.

Thank god the AI didn't do Machine Gun Kiss..unless im wrong...
NO WAY THEY BROUGHT JUDGEMENT BACK!!
The amount of auto tune in all three English ones just hurts. They couldn't have just actually TRIED????
Well, City lights now it’s one off best song in yakuza and best by female in yakuza
13:24 Anchan!!
Honolulu city lights got ichi fumbling the bag so hard like bro HOW?
Nishiki got reincarnated as Ichiban when they're singing Judgement
Because Nishiki is also Ichiban VA in Japanese
Man the chinese is great , now i hope to hear jackie chan singing bakamitai one day 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kiryu and Nishiki singing together again 🥺
It would have been super cool if for hell stew they added kiryu in the video
How did the chinese players get a better dub then us english speakers?
Average English fan vs average Chinese enjoyer
they got better voice acting directions, they got better voice actors, and there was no autotune.
High priority market. In the west, LAD has a very niche audience.
English dub for 8 is a sign as to the low effort nature of Western voice acting. Nobody can sing, and nobody does a voice that sounds like the thing they're trying to replicate. While Japan and China put in effort, English dubbing is soulless.
It's a shame because Yakuza 7's english dub was fairly decent, but now they went completely backwards.
Facts 💯
Huh. So you can remove the hud but the subtitles can't be?
Nice songs to look forward to.
Hey guys i think the english and china voice is recorded separately without the music or smth else. Def. The different method they use from the japanesse
That judgement song sounds so similar to some song which I can't remember at the moment.
Sounds a bit like Paint it Black
chinese ver. of Hell Stew sounds like an Epic music that came out from a Kungfu movie
This is what SubZero was doing during the end of mk1??
Honolulu city lights in english is great but Judgement damn pls 😂still better in Japanese sub or nothing !
As always, english female VA always delivers, Yakuza LAD was great.
Yeah jugement m'y favorite song from yakuza 0 with baka mitai !
Chinese dub is pretty decent ngl, I dig it
most people give crap about Kiryu's eng dub... But I actually like his singing here. He got a lot of Kiryu's nuances down here. The only problem I can really say if I am forced to is just that Yongyea sounds a bit too young

Btw, whos Chitoses VA? She killed it
Also, interesting that they brought Amon as keyboardist rather than Kashiwagi
Does he know?
Good thing I was never going to play in English.
6:59 yooo wtf
I don’t hate the English dub of judgement, except when he says judgmeeeeeeeent
