This is my translation from Japanese to English in purpose of educating the Western audience of the cast interviews for Yakuza Kiwami 2, involving the main voice actors Takaya Kuroda, Hidenari Ugaki, Satoshi Tokushige, and Masami Iwasaki. They voice act Kiryu Kazuma, Majima Goro, Daigo Dojima, and Ryuji Goda respectively.

I remember seeing this when it came out and thinking man, I wish I could understand this. Absolute legend you are!
Thank you!!
I love Hidenari Ugaki. Love him so much that i can even recognize his voice from just hearing him for a split a sec. Was watching Evangelion rebuild and heard him saying like one line and thought "hm, Goro-chan?" and yes that was him.
Thank you for translations. Could you please translate more of those pre release interviews, for example Yakuza's 6 maybe (my fav game of the entire franchise)
I am gonna be doing all of them!!
@@dragonenterprise Thanks so much! I've always wanted to see the cast interviews in English.
Ugaki-san is such a treasure, would just love to thank him in-person for his work 🥰
1:42 It's always wonderfully cheery how much Takaya Kuroda seems to love this series and his character. Well, I suppose that goes for all of the voice actors for this series! Hidenari Ugaki.....always having so much fun... and Masami Iwasaki goes SO hard. The "translations" for 2:09 gave me a chuckle, it seems like you have a lot of fun with those "subtitles" too. Thank you again very much for a great translation.
I appreciate that :D
Ugaki is an international treasure.
Finally. FINALLY SOMEONE TRANSLATED THIS AMAZING VIDEO!
Gaahhh thank you so much!! I’ve been waiting for someone to translate this specific video for 2 years 😭😭 you’re amazing!
You're welcome 😊
Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve been anticipating these translations as much as the Japan exclusive games themselves. If you don’t mind, can you continue doing these?! Thanks a lot!!
Of course! I'll be doing this for all of the other games!
Dear god I LOVE Hidenari sm
It has been 0 days since Ugaki has made me frown. I STG his enthusiasm for voice acting really shines in these videos. God bless him! ❤
Man they sure hyped up the Majima saga, shame it was quite lackluster.
Gotta express my appreciation for Ryuji's and Daigo's voiceactors though. Those two characters are a big reason why I like Yakuza 2 so much. It really is such a shame Daigo didn't get more time in the spotlight in later entries, his dynamic with Kiryu could have been so interesting. Like they imply Kiryu cares a lot at the end of Yakuza 6, but it's not shown throughout 3-6, where Daigo's character is mostly just a plot device.
As someone who loves every game in this series, I think the transition from the end of Y4 to Y5 is indefensible from a character perspective. Like you said, at the end of Y6 there's a big monologue about how Kiryu now understands he should have supported Daigo rather than leave him alone, but that's essentially the same lesson Kiryu learns at the end of Y4 after the boss fight with Daigo. But the next time we see these 2 characters Kiryu has "unlearned"/forgotten that lesson? Or he no longer cares? But that doesnt fit with Y6 where he acts like he's realising this for the first time. Honestly if you could image yourself being Daigo in Yakuza 2-7, your POV of Kiryu's actions should make you hate the man
@@MikeHesk742 that's very true, continuity between games can be pretty frustrating with yakuza. So much potential for character arcs we never see because they get tossed aside after one game and the characters that do return get sidelined hard.
I doubt Ugaki knew about the actual gameplay of the Majima Saga, he just knew the story from the lines he had to record, ofc it was going to be a more hyped up impression than what we actually got lol. It is a shame tho, I wish majima's story got a bit more time to become more fleshed out and enjoyable
ahhhh thank you so much!! this has been one of my favourite yakuza behind the scenes videos for years and i'm delighted that i can actually understand everything now!!
You cant even imagine how long I waited for this video to be translated. Thank you very much
Finding this channel is one of the blessings of the year. I love how you add funny translations to promote yourself. You're a legend! Much love to you.
You're also a legend 😎
I love that Kuroda is still wearing the friendship bracelet he made with Ugaki
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DRAGON ENTERPRISE!!!
I've always wondered if Yakuza was popular enough in Japan to assume that majima voice actor got more romantic attention because of the character he voiced.
I only found your channel like yesterday and have since watched every video you’ve uploaded up until now. Keep going! Every devoted Ryu ga Gotoku fan will stumble across your channel sooner or later, and appreciate the work you put in. You integrate us more with the Japanese RGG Studios and I can’t be more than grateful to you :))
That means a lot to me!! Thank you for watching :D
thank you for doing these!!!
I’ll watch these videos as long as you are uploading them
Ahh yes,Kiwami 2,My 2nd favs RGG games. Thank you for making this vid,Man!
(Just in case you wonder,My first place favs rgg games is Lost Judgment.)
This channel is a blessing.
quality content!1!! like always
Who else came here to hear Ugaki say "KIRRRRYYYYUUUU-CHAN"? XD
Love the work guys❤❤❤ keep going!!!
Kiwami 1 and 2 we're my first Yakuza/Like a Dragon games that I played and they are still my number 1 and 2 favorites.
thank you for putting subs for this video
now i can finally understand what they are saying
also im wondering why rie kugimiya that voices Haruka Sawamura and the voice actor of detective date werent in this interview?
cause when i clicked this video first time without subs
i was hoping that haruka voice actor wold be in it
so after watching the video it left a small bitter taste in my mouth cause of that
but i sure as hell enjoyed watching kuroda takaya and hidenari ugaki in it😄
The real legend is Dragon enterprise, where do you find this gems?
I scour the internet in search of gems, also welcome to the Yakuza series! Hope you enjoy the other games!!
@@dragonenterprise Hmm I see, I'm loving everygame, right now at kiwami 2 and Uncle Kazzy is awesome
@@setzer2897 nice to have you kyodai
such an amazing cast.
This man is Kiryu nobody else.
To be honest, I thought Iwasaki would be more of a beefcake, and scary. But, he doesn't look as scary as he sounds. ._.
ohhh that video
I still find it crazy how they got Kiryu to voice Hidnenari Ugaki
Takaya san was NOT wrong. The conclusion of Goro and Makoto's story was the highlight of the game.
I came for 4:46
You could tell that the voice actors in the Yakuza franchise is truly having fun playing with their roles!
LIKE A DRAGON KIWAMI 2
One of the best Japanese voice tone
Do you have this specific version of "Break Off"? I can tell it's slightly different.
this guy is the reason why i never touch eng dub on any yakuza games. Very charming voice even though i dont understand most of it
If only the combat system was better, this would have been an S tier game for me
Dragon Engine sucks for Kiryu, only when Yagami's games came out it became good
@@keifujitora6587 Luckily with unreal engine it seems like we'll be abandoning the dragon engine soon enough. I'd imagine Gaiden and 8 will be the last Dragon Engine games.
@@keifujitora6587 Dragon Engine is cool for spectacle only, yeah. I think there's a reason they mostly gave up on climax battles in Dragon Engine, it's not possible to balance fights to be skill-based in this engine the same way they could before. It works for Yagami, but imo that's only because we dont have anything to compare it to. For Kiryu it's obvious that Dragon Engine takes a lot away from the player, because we can compare it to previous titles. It does look cool though.
