Yakuza Kiwami Classic Music Mod Coming on Day 1

[[LSSAH]Canzah]

Hello there, just popping in here to say we will be releasing a Yakuza 1 Classic Music Mod for PC version of Kiwami on Day 1, the mod is already finished and available for PS4 users.
The mod restores the original music from PS2 version of Yakuza 1, that many agree is vastly superior to the wubwubwub music in Kiwami.
You can expect same kind of high qualtiy effort as from the Dragon Quest XI Orchestral Overhaul Mod.

Presentation of the mod in action on PS4 can be found below:

On a side note, just like with Yakuza 0, I will also be releasing a Licensed Music Restoration Patch for Kiwami, naturally Day 1 as well. The Classic Music Mod comes with the patch already included as it doesn't interfere in any way with the restored PS2 music.

The more options and mods we have the better.

Oh that's great! I'm also hoping for mod with hilariously bad english dub from the original Yakuza.

Are there any comparisons of the music? Would like to know which feels better.

Type any of the track names in YouTube and add "PS2" or "Kiwami" to see either of the versions.
Here's "Funk Goes On" for example.
PS2:

Kiwami:

Note Kiwami being very WUBWUBWUB and not even being funky anymore which ruins the entire point of the track.

Very excited for the OG Soundtrack. 0 has an awesome soundtrack, but some of the remasters in Kiwami are questionable.

I like Kiwami's Funk Goes On. But original's also good.

[Sloaks]

Great news, Thanks for the heads up

Just to be clear, the music restoration mod will restore the intro which is slightly different in the west with the song BLEED, the song in the cut scene of Kiryu getting out of jail (which is also BLEED) and the 2nd shimano fight on the docks which has a lyric rendition of I receive you?

I'm wondering cause some people online wrongfully claim the Japanese version of the kiwami intro has I receive you (like the original game on ps2), when it's in fact the song BLEED.

Anyways, the work is heavily appreciated.

Kiwami's music is actually pretty good and gets way too much hate to be honest. *hides in Majima's manhole*

Seriously though, well done.

Actually JP version has TWO intros, one of which is DLC that comes from the Receive You Reborn single album as DLC code, my patch restores both of them with Bleed intro playing after Receive You Reborn intro, you can see what the the Receive You Reborn intro looks like here:

I'll be sure to play the game once with the Kiwami Music and on legend with the original, that should be fun.

[Fiesta Violenta]

Nice, with this mod i can replay the main story of kiwami

English version's opening is literally just recycled install screen music from PS3 version.
