I didn't learn of this until I moved to the big city and discovered there was no solidarity among Asians, and it wasn't just by state by sometimes even by region like how Americans shit on the South or Coasts. It was serious shock to learn we all hated each other by default. After a year whenever anybody asked I just said I was a white guy, it was easier to be totally dismissed as a banana than whatever historical grievance people want to attach to your heritage.
Venezuelan here, it depends really, some people like Devendra Banhart were born there but their families were white/rich enough that they were able to move when shit started to hit the fan, some, like Yong, are some mystery meat looking ass and it's hard to pinpoint, also, didn't he move from there at like 5 years old?
Yeah, we got the mutt treatment over here except we did have white people until socialism.
Now I got reminded of Lele Pons, truly a disgrace from our country along that Yong guy and whatever shill (enchufado) gets to USA.

Can't wait for AI to replace you VA cuckolds. Gaming will finally have capital to spend on polishing the code instead of wasting all money on you cancer shite. Rest in piss and shit, nobody will miss you.
>Gaming will finally have capital to spend on polishing the code
Oh no no no!
He thinks... haha.. he thinks that.... if the companies find a way to save money or spend less, it will mean more money for the game, and not into investors and CEO's pockets!
LOL! LMAO! ROTF! Jajaja! WWW! Huehue
Based on several dozen youtube comments by zoomers on several different videos comparing his lines to kiryu's old english va and the japanese dub, everyone unanimously thinks he's shit.
I do unironically think that it's perfectly fine for a Korean to voice a Japanese character.
But don't pretend like it's any better than an American or British person doing it.
>actor sings karaoke like an amateur
I have no issue with karaoke in Y7 and Y8. But there is a different between amateur-ish livel of quality and utter dogshit that was Yong's Judgement. But it's weird, even his Baka Mitai was pretty decent so it's like they told him to sing during casting and they just autotuned that thing. >actor sings karaoke like an amateur: japan
That's actually my issue, that a vast majority of them sound way too good for some random ruffians. It's expected given how many of them are singers as well but it's just that little hinch in the back of your head.
>that a vast majority of them sound way too good for some random ruffians
That's the joke. You expect them to sound terrible but they all have incredible voices. Majima and Shinada are the ones who dick around in the karaoke making random noises and shouting which, again, is intentional. They're not supposed to sound like they don't know how to sing, they're supposed to surprise you that they do know how to sing. It's why EN Adachi's performance is so beyond awful in Machine Gun Kiss because they used a joke variant instead of his in-character variant.
>That's the joke. You expect them to sound terrible but they all have incredible voices.
That is exactly what makes it good. It is truly a situation where subverting expectations is used properly for comedic effect. It has been a mechanism that has allowed losers in movies to win the hearts of princesses. The total dumpster fire of a movie that is Napoleon Dynamite somewhat redeems itself by going all-in and successfully applying this principle.
I can't fucking believe that the people working this failed to get this right. The joke isn't supposed to be that they're bad at singing. Or maybe Yong thinks he's actually hot shit and it sounds great to him - maybe he understands the joke and just doesn't fucking realize he's told the joke the wrong way utterly voiding it of all comedic effect.
I mean Christ, it's entirely possible he thinks being a paid voice actor mans you can sing. Maybe he thinks you can just sing because you did a couple rounds of karaoke in college not realizing that in order to actually present something that sounds good you actually need to go to fucking school.
He cites having been trained in "classical singing", but honestly considering they fucking autotuned his voice? I think he tried to sing it and all he could do was do this crappy attempt at a fan cover like he was so overjoyed to sing THE song, and once Sega got the take the localizers tried to cover up how awful it came out.
That sounds like over-embellishment to fluff a resume. As far as I know there is no recognized curriculum standard for "classical singing" it's a bullshit term that people can throw around to impress people who don't know shit, and sadly it probably worked because the audio producers don't seem to know shit. I can say I was trained in "classical piano" because I learned playing classical songs but it doesn't mean shit. The real shit is having a piece of paper (like ANY other thing in the world) that says Associate Diploma of The Royal Conservatory of Music and even with that fucking piece of paper my music sounds like shit.
He did a shit job and he's fucking covering for himself and retards are covering for him. Maybe he'll cite toxicity or racism like that stupid Ada voice actor did. I don't think either of those people understand that when you play the race card improperly it diminishes the power of the race card for all future times when it actually needs to be used.
If you ask me, his biggest crime was being revealed to being a poser fan. If you or me or anyone was handed the opportunity to do this job you'd train for it. Like how fucking Viggo Mortensen learned to ride and care for horses. Here you are, you have this opportunity to surpass every other YouTuber who has covered this song and you fucked it up because you can't be fucking assed to hit the vocal gym.

There are bachelors degrees in classical singing. However in Yong's case if he doesn't have a piece of paper, it's likely him saying he is trained in classical singing is like someone saying they "studied history" after taking one elective in college. Shit, I better put on my resume that I am trained in classical philosophy.
The fun thing about the series is finding out which characters are all-star talents, big seiyuus, movie actors, and so forth. And a number of things like certain JAV girls are pretty much as themselves. If Hideo Kojima gets a boner about working with like two or three big star American actors, this series is a gigantic collage of Japanese stars all across the nation that reaches ridiculous extents.
It's impressive not only how shitty the voices are, but how the script wildly swings from just completely rewriting shit to not bothering to make it even sound correct in English at all.
I could understand if it was done in an attempt to sync with the melody, but it doesn't seem to do that either. Or maybe that just Yong. JUSTISU needs that -U from engrish to flow properly for example, but they can't change it to a different word since it's so iconic, and having the VA mispronounce it like the japs in an otherwise english song would sound out of place.
What the fuck is this? I've clearly fallen out of the loop why the fuck is this this bad?
The whole entertainment value of the original was that it had a Japanese guy do the stupid cliche Engrish shit that happens in Asian music, the corniness of 80s hair rock, but still producing something that is catchy and actually competently performed.
This is actually offensive. It's all fucking bad. How the fuck does this happen?
Oh god what the fuck that last "Judgement". Someone has to fucking lose their job for this.
Siren's dub is less bad and more just bizarrely cast and directed. I have no idea why they decided to make almost everyone british, but at least they actually have some emotion in their voice when the situation calls for it even if they stumble on the Japanese names.
This is embarrassing (for Yong).
I can't wait for every dubbed version to come out and Yong's performance ends up being undoubtedly the worst out of all them.
How will he cope?
Chinamen and Japs pronounce English pretty similarly, but the Chinese have an easier time learning it since their language isn't outright missing some English pronunciations (like how Japanese doesn't have an "L" sound).
I wonder if this guy cosplayed as Kiryu and went on parade out town like Yong as soon as he got the role.
I mean if Yong could do that this guy 100% deserves it considering he sounds more like Kiryu on top of nailing the song perfectly despite it being translated.
100% other dub actors can actually sing and got the job fairly as opposed to Yong who lied about singing on his resume and put that he's a youtuber with over 1 mil subs. NA hires are based on virtue signaling now instead of actual talent and skills.
>Say what you will about Chinese as a language. But this dude can legitimately sing.
It's because the Chinese actually place their children at a young age in singing lessons and other things to make sure they're good at (Almost) everything they can do.
Jackie Chan also sang.
>have to be able to sing at least adequately >have to be able to play at least one instrument at a decent or better level >if you choose to do art of drawing you better be good at it or don't do it at all
And if not. You bring shame upon the entire family.
The demo only gives the option for Chinese, Japanese, and English dub. The Steam store also says those are the only 3 that will have full voice support, and Korean will only be subs.
The singing is much better than Yong for sure but the real difference is that you can tell the chinese VAs are having fun singing it, Yongs performance feels phoned in
What mental gymnastics do actors and singers do when they scream and cry that AI voice acting is literal genocide but they are absolutely fine with AI being used to auto tune them for singing?
>I wonder if yong is banging on SEGA's door pleading to let him re-record the song because of the backlash
Nah, He'll probably bring up some BS accolades on his "Great singing" and mention how "Nobody's perfect." and that he's "new"
This is literally worse than AI.
How do dubnaggers accept performances that are literally fucking AI-tier?
What reason is there to not just replace all dub VAs with AI if this is the quality you accept from them?
>What reason is there to not just replace all dub VAs with AI if this is the quality you accept from them?
They would probably get sanctioned and sued by a union or some shit if they got rid of VA's entirely and replaced them with AI.
i keep relistening to this every few minutes as i lurk this thread and i cannot find a single fucking good thing about it, it's just awful in every way
he legitimately sounds worse than the types of voices you'd hear doing silly fandubs on youtube back in the early '10s
Chuck Berry and John Lennon are performing a song. Yoko Ono picks up a mic and starts screeching into it. Chuck Berry makes this face as the stage tech quickly mutes Ono's mic.

Ok where’s the proof he actually voice acted before? As far as I know he’s never worked on any fan projects from Newgrounds or even YouTube, and a lot of the newer VAs got their starts doing stuff like that. Hell even people like Rina Chan, regardless what Ganker thinks about her, actually had a extensive portfolio before she went professional
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10173973/
It's all very minor roles aside from a couple of roles like Pucchi.
He really only started doing more and more a couple of years back so him getting a protagonist role like this is most likely just due to his Youtube reputation.
Yong didn't earn shit based on VA talent.
Of course he didn’t earn it. If it wasn’t for his 2 million subscribers on YouTube he would never be near where he’s at today. I’m honestly shocked he can afford to live in LA. YouTube bucks and VA bucks aren’t nearly enough to live there
Nah he probably makes a good bit of money, he's grifting on Patreon too
But he's probably like boogie a lolcow in the making and spending more than he's worth
Also, he got those roles because of the voice acting strikes. Localization companies didn't want to deal with that headache, so they looked for scabs from across the internet which also helped cut down on costs for something people don't really care or think about in the first place. Some of those turned out to work fine like 2B, but Yong is just terrible as Kiryu and his online tantrum isn't helping matters.
Born to Korean parents in Venezuela, moved to the US when he was 14. Moved to LA just a few years ago, which is where he really wanted to kickstart his VA career.
They would definitely pick Mr.Beast over Yong Yea if he was desperate and time-free as him, who uses his "journalist" status to sneak up to an industry veterans in private parties and gaslight them with his CV
This is actually true, most of the time people don't see the time and effort that you put into it. I've been taking acting and singing lessons for 7 years now, taking small roles in shows and films and for people it just looks like that I just go there and do it.
This would have honestly not gone as viral if Yong Yea decided to keep his ego in check. If he did not go out and actually cosplay as Kiryu and went around like he was some top dog shit no one would really care that much.
If you guys wanna shittalk his voice acting then just remember that you're going against the ljteral Dragon of Dojima himself. Going down this path was your choice. For those who want to die... STEAHP UAHP
lil bro got a cool role and immediately lets it go to his head
>FYI, I've been acting longer than I've been YouTubing.
Why do film actors have such hubris?
Acting talent doesn't just translate over to voice acting talent. It's its own art.
I consider myself center-leaning-left because of these fucks and other such cases. Apparently it's not enough that being a white guy is a cardinal sin unless you "atone" by selling your soul to "righting the problem", these people then push every single thing they can about other races while being the absolutely most idiotic, nonsensical and downright offensive fools I have ever seen short of Florida Man antics. Every single attempt at promoting black or asian actors becomes this hilariously fucked up attempt at positive discrimination that results in shit like the "black" (ie, anime tanned) rabbit girl in My Hero Academia getting a black voice actress for the English dub, and then retards on twitter cry for a black voice actress because she "doesn't sound black enough" directly to the VA herself.
You can improve society maybe, but you can't fix retarded people who can be born anywhere and everywhere as anything.
I know what rabbit character you are talking about and I stopped watching that anime before she showed up but she's hot as fuck and I just pretend she sounds like this:
It's better this way, not actually hearing her actually speak.
Yeah, leftists hate Japs for having an exceptionally prosperous homogenous society that is the exact opposite of their brown communist dystopias. If you ever mention Japan, you can guarantee one of them will come out of the woodworks to tell you about it.
Nah they are importing foreigners to replace their dying middle age population as well as the Europeans, sorry to break it to you zoomzoom, its not 2000-2010s anymore.

>and then the dubs have been a fairly recent addition to try to broaden western appeal
When Yakuza 1 was originally released in the west, it only had English dub zoomie
the english isn't even available until like a few weeks after the game comes out
I don't know why people are pretending yakuza is gonna be dub only when it was notoriously shit but corny and then continues to be pretty notoriously shit but not even in a funny way now
Why are anons so obsessed with Yong? I am almost suspecting that he's the "bad PR is still PR" type and is himself making these "Yong mogging threads" in order to become and stay relevant.
He immediately updated his resume to fix an error that an anon found, so he's here. I have started to wonder how many of these posts are made by him. That's...not healthy.
I'll be honest I was skeptical at first but it's really growing on me. He's clearly passionate about the IP and the medium as a whole. Sure there's room for improvement but given the amount of effort we've already seen put in I can only see him improving over time. I think we'll all be left with egg on our face in the future and we'll have to agree that the hate bandwagon against me is unjustified.
I'm surprised that he got cast with a singing voice like that, they really should have had a separate singer. He sounds like a standard Karaoke singer, but the whole series had made a point of casting VAs that can also sing if they do karaoke.
He's not really anything special beyond maybe a decent Pucci voice. As a VA he's incredibly mediocre and can't really do much that isn't his usual voice or trying to make himself sound more badass. As a Youtuber he just takes articles other people made and then quadruples them out in length to keep regurgitating and circling around on the information with his own personal takes added on top so he can pad out for viewership and revenue. Occasionally he deviates from that to bitch excessively about anyone that slights him or happens to be Konami while sucking HIdeo Kojima cock every time Koimbles shows up in the news again.
yong is a fuckhead for how he made his "youtube career", but it's fine to be a shit VA
what's funny is how big of a bitch he's acting like after people told him he makes a shit Kiryu
>undeservedly >Uhm Mario just sounds like Chris Pratt??? >Meanwhile his Kiryu is just his voice with him forcing a tiny bit of vocal fry
He deserves to be mocked and laughed at for being such a fart huffing retard.
>Undeservedly
i only know this homosexual because of cyberpunk 2077 pre-release.
He was one of the homosexuals shilling this game so hard, saying that they got to play it behind the scene and it will ''deliver''
only to do a 180 once the game released AND then going back to shill the DLC of cyberpunk
This would have honestly not gone as viral if Yong Yea decided to keep his ego in check. If he did not go out and actually cosplay as Kiryu and went around like he was some top dog shit no one would really care that much.
Why is this shit so common with dub VAs?
Like they start trying to act like they themselves are the character. They're not even the original voice actor that brought the character to life.
Name three other Eng VAs who are exactly like this, from what I've seen it is exclusive to Yong. The others may have fun with their characters but I've never seen another VA claim they're the best, the definitive voice for a character, LARPing as the character etc
i hope to god you didnt type that with a straight face
there is a reason he got zero work outside of metal gear and fucking tortanic
and kojima was trying to replace him the entire run of metal gear ontop of that
I can't give you specific examples (because I forgot lol) but I think I've seen this with some of Persona (5?) and Fire Emblem (3H) voice actors.
I guess it isn't quite Yong level where they cosplay as them and mention it every second, but I often see them say shit like "I am John Fuckwad, BUT YOU MAY KNOW ME BETTER AS SUBARU MATSUMOTO-SAMA FROM UNDERAGE PANTY QUEST XVI, [says incredibly cringey line from game]" and in interviews and shit they'll act like they know the character better than anyone despite their version of the character having been butchered by fucked up localizers that are probably even more talentless than they are.
I wish I had some examples on hand, but since I don't, feel free to disregard everything I say as bullshit. Though I'm pretty sure none have been as bad as Yong though.
American narcissism, heavy correlation with political shitheads that use twitter and have their characters in their bio ~~*opinions are my own except from when I pretend to be a character from a thing I voiced*~~
Yong is really his own undoing in this entire thing. Yong just let his ego go completely to his head because he landed his first protagonist role as a character who has been around for years.
You didn't see Kaiji Tang throw "English VA for Ichiban Kasuga" on his socials or anything. You really don't see any voice actor really doing that which just shows how much of a newcomer Yong really is, despite him saying he has being doing VA work longer than Youtube.
>You didn't see Kaiji Tang throw "English VA for Ichiban Kasuga" on his socials or anything.
Compare it to Nishiki landing Kasuga role and how japanese said he was extremely happy to return. But the difference is, he is good. Big people are allowed to brag, simple as
Yong could easily just collect his fat paycheck and fuck off, but for some reason he spends all his free time on Twitter arguing about his role.
Have you seen any of his tweets? They all have dozens upon dozens of hidden replies. He literally sits on his computer for god knows how long moderating his own posts to remove every single one that's critical of his performance. The fucking ego on this kid is wild.
>his ego
I don't think that its ego. I think its he's complete lack of self-awareness. Maybe both. repulsive combination.
Either way he must be mutilated, tortured and left for dead in some pigshit puddle.
If it wasn't Ego then Yong wouldn't be blocking or hiding the tweets of anyone who was criticizing his performance. There is also the fact that he even seems to be reading these threads since some people on this board pointed out an error on his resume and it was corrected pretty shortly after the post was made.
he's definitely reading these threads, or has at least seen a few - the homosexual stole half-serious MGSV fantheories conjured up by anons back in 2015 to use for his shitty clickbait videos
Same thing that he always did. Spit out useless videos of just reading headlines, while giving an opinion that he formed from combing twitter and reddit.
hayter acted a bit gay when kojimbo picked Kiefer over him for V, but didn't sperg out like a huge crybaby like yong is now
i dont have a sauce but i think Hayter even said he wouldn't want to do a "remake" of V voicing Venom because he respects Kiefer.
He sperged out a little bit, though it was more justified given that someone took his job and people were more sympathetic. This is the opposite case, where if everyone hated Keifer and he started having a breakdown and acting like a bitch after taking Hayter's job and botching it. Keifer didn't give a fuck about the criticism, he got paid and moved on. Only way Yong could've handled this is if he never said anything, or just had a bit of humility and admitted that he was miscast or he needs more experience, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity. Like he clearly doesn't give a fuck that he got someone else's job because they were the wrong race and we have to make everything a fucking political issue. Never mind the fact that there's probably a laundry list of professional voice actors who deserved the role more than he does.
>playing with the English dub
I don't care if they got the entire cast to be voiced by Amy Schumer for the English dub, you're already playing the worse version anyway
they are for the upcoming Yakuza 8 (the YOOOOOOONG dub of it being primarily what this thread is mocking), but they brought Kiryu back as what seems like a deuteragonist
Gaiden just released but it's getting its shitty YOOOOOONG dub in a post-release update at some point

You're just a fucking, pathetic, homosexual.
Hope the rope will guide you out of this world.
I think some of it's ok as a premise. Kiryu's character by the point of 6 is a goddamn mess, so anything that reconciles what he's done in the past to how he would treat the retarded situation 6's end put him in is a step in the right direction, but I haven't finished it yet and it doesn't seem they're willing to fully commit to undoing it.
Sometimes you're bad, sometimes you're good. Also sometimes you do something and the director tells you to do something different. I get auditions for mostly lead characters and when I eventually book one I am prepared that people will hate it.

Bro this is just as bad as Yong's song.
What in the goddamn fuck are they doing with this autotune shit?
If you listened the the 7 English Dub, Kaiji Tang also isn't that great of a singer especially while doing the Ichiban voice. It was kind of funny with The Future I Dream Of mainly because the combination of his voice and the cringier english lyrics proudly singing "I'M GONNA LEVEL UP!" and shit like that was just funny.
It isn't nearly as bad, comes off more like it's supposed to, some schmuck doing karaoke. Yong's karaoke is so brutal and autotuned it takes you right out of it.
That's the thing that really makes this funny to me, he didn't even have to sing good, nobody expects Kiryu to sound like a professional.
Do these have the yong voice removed for the Seonhee and Saeko ones? Or is he just even more shit at these parts too? It's missing the whole Kiryu portion of Like a Butterfly completely,
Seonhee's english voice actually does a pretty good job at this song(the lyrics are a little awkward though), it's a shame this will be ruined by Yong's interjections.
Kuroda's crying already sounded too weird for Kiryu's character... Yong's one just going to be pure unfiltered cringe of the highest proportions. He'll make him sound like the biggest homosexual alive when his voice elevates to that of a femboy getting raped in the ass

Putting for too much emphasis on the words there. It almost sounds like you are trying to sing.
Don't you know Yong Yea school of Performance? You speak your lines like a robot off of a sheet of paper. Emotion gets you nowhere in the entertainment industry.
Which is what confused me in the first place why they picked him for the VA. Dude overenunciates to begin with because English clearly isn't his first language, and it comes across here.
Also, he got those roles because of the voice acting strikes. Localization companies didn't want to deal with that headache, so they looked for scabs from across the internet which also helped cut down on costs for something people don't really care or think about in the first place. Some of those turned out to work fine like 2B, but Yong is just terrible as Kiryu and his online tantrum isn't helping matters.
Why don't they just get British regular actors like the Xenoblade guys did?
Should i just fucking drop the series? i never played with the english dub but the games seem way too silly now to the point that bothers me, back on the ps2 the games was kinda gritty it had silly moments but nothing too goofy, and i dont like turn based games, should i just drop this shit? im on yakuza 5, for me it peaked at 3.
i started with the ps2 titles but i barely understood english lol i got lost af when i had to feed the dog, i brought 0 but didnt play, i dont like majima, forced chracter
drop it after 6. there's nothing good going forward.
maybe try out the judgement games if you feel like playing the old brawler types but that's about it. the yakuza franchise has no integrity left and has no idea where the fuck it wants to head off to.
He did, and that entire panel as I remember it was him just interjecting after every time Kuroda spoke saying stuff like, "Hey guys, I'm Kiryu too!", "I hope to be a man like him one day". It was fucking embarassing.
>I hope to be a man like him one day
So he's basically implying he's not a man already?
That's fucking pathetic and will quickly dry up any pussy around him. Even if you don't think of yourself masculine "enough" or whatever to be a man, you still don't outright say it like that. It's just sad as fuck. If you really have to just fake it till you make it or find a specific area you're able to excel in and use that as your way to somehow "prove" you're a man.

Kiryu inspired me to start practicing a martial art. Hugely positive change in my life.
Was it Yong's idea to take these photos?
What the fuck's the point in even bothering people around you with them?
Can you not just enjoy the moment and dine together with chatting about shit without needing to make it an online post for everyone to see?
Uuh, wouldn't Kuroda eat regularly Korean food in Japan?
Why didn't he treat him to some fancy ass Texas style steakhouse or to some Slop degeneracy burger?
I mean, why would you eat the same (lesser) shit you eat in your country instead of eating the local food? I talk shit about Amerislop, but to be fair their slop garbage its pretty tasty. I guess Kuroda just had to politely accept the lesser kimchi feast...
Given where the panel was (downtown LA, next to Skid Row), they probably went close by to Koreatown for some weird reason. Odd thing is that Kuroda just went to a baseball game the previous day as well. There's a Fogo de Chao just down the street which makes me question why they didn't just go there instead.
Maybe that's what the team ordered?
I'm not really sure but you're right.
If you have someone over in your country, you treat them to some local cuisine. Even if you don't really eat or like them a lot, you can recommend what's local to your area and encourage the person to try them out.
>actual kiryu voice actor dresses in style and has amazing charisma >yong wears a suit that looks like a cheap halloween costume and acts like an awkward retard the entire time
The contrast couldn't be anymore different.
What do you expect? One is an actual professional while the other is a pathetic, talentless fanboy with no right to even be there. The fact that Yong Nope is trying so fucking hard to larp as Kiryu irl should be a dead giveaway that he has no integrity, let alone a personality.

I give up on the 4 kings substory. The second tag battle seems like complete bullshit without the Legend characters unless easy applies to the Colosseum this time.
I wonder if it's possible to mod in Yagami and Kiryu as members. Former to round out the Judgement crew and the latter to round out the Tojo legends.
>p-p-please tell me how best to portray kiryu
Proof that Yong didn't even play through the whole series. It's piss easy to understand Kiryu's character and what he's like. You don't fucking need the OG to tell you how to do your work that you were supposedly hire to do because you were "the best for the job".
>If you are a gentleman in your day to day life, it will reflect and have an impact on your performance >proceeds to sperg out and go on a blocking spree to rival kamiya after a few people say they dont like his performance

He's totally miscast, he sounds like a kid doing a tough guy voice because his normal voice isn't deep enough. It's horribly amateurish.
You now remember that yong voiced Pucci in jojo
They had Ricepirate voicing a JoJo character too. It's obvious these people just like hiring minor celebrities and don't give a fuck whether you can really voice act. It's just a fruity little club where they hire all their friends and network.
His voice has no inflection, I've heard shit in literal who indie games with more talented voice work. Also he seems to have confused deep voice with monotone voice, his voice isn't deep enough to play Kiryu.
His voice has no range and when he voices Kiryu it's just his regular israelitetube voice attempting to do anime protagonist and failing miserably, I reckon he also tries to make his voice sound deeper in his israelitetube videos.
Hey, can someone tell me if Gaiden runs well on ps4? Ishin ran like shit in some battles specially if there was fire in the background so it was a pain to beat.
pretty sure 99% of the people in this thread never had any intention of playing a yakuza game dubbed (why would you?)
it's just fun to laugh at YOOOOONG being a retard
All western localizing companies are run like little cliques that just hire their friends and gatekeep the fuck out of everything. They're all full of activist hacks and people who just use their connections in the media to make sure they get all the work. Merit is absolutely dead in western localizing, it's corrupt as fuck, they even know it and treat it like a joke. They have nothing but contempt for the people buying their products. Japan doesn't give a shit what these companies do, and their connections in the western gaming/anime media prop them up, so they've just let them fester. They won't give a fuck how much you criticize them and they'll probably just write articles about how evil gamers hate diversity and it's a good thing the white guy is gone. The customer is always wrong now so long as they can spin them as bigoted or intolerant.
>Used to call people that dislike his performance "trolls" and block them from his twitter >This time around, the people shitting on him also include his own brainless audiences that smelled the coffee and woke up >Can't block them, so hide their replies instead
kekkus maximus
autotune is regularly used to cover up people being slightly off-key when singing. generally the more off-key you are, the more obvious autotune is being used.
>Voice actors scrambling over themselves to voice this post and upload it online to show that they can can do more than "the anime voice" >They all do the anime voice without fail >"pls hire me :)" at the end
Why do Americans are so addicted to clout they feel the need to post shit like this unironically, like it was some kind of achievement or like he found a "solution" to a big issue.
Why don't they just use different actors who can actually sing when they have to dub songs?
The Lion King did it in 1994, the fucking Donkey Kong Country cartoon did it. It's not a novel concept.
It it purely Yong's ego that blocks them from doing it?
Probably harder to pull off than you'd think, and they're too cheap to hire one good actor as it is. Kiryu isn't meant to be a great singer either, it's supposed to be charming karaoke. It'd be fucking bizarre if Yong's shitty voice cut out and a real singer started belting out the lyrics in a totally different voice that doesn't sound like a kid pretending to be tough.
>Kiryu isn't meant to be a great singer either, it's supposed to be charming karaoke.
Kiryu is supposed to be a good singer, the only people you can apply the "they're not meant to be good singers, but they're charming" are Majima and Saejima
his natural voice is so nasally and you can still hear it when he tries to do le chad cool guy deep voice and the combination of the two just sounds so wrong
They don't, it's a great example because that's how they actually sound like.
They have no range because American VAs only have experience with American cartoons with corny acting and cheesy voice work.
They just do their regular voice or some stupid caricature of what they think the character will sound like
Can't remember the full story on it but didn't Sega give some of the og Yakuza devs the short end of the stick on some rerelease of the games? I remember a image comparing Yong's reaction Kojima being shafted & his reaction to the Yakuza devs being shafted.
The original game director left the studio for Tencent because he didn't want to get promoted to where he could no longer work on the game. In the Game Pass release credits for each game, said game director was pulled from the game and replaced by the new game director instead.
When they put the games on GOG, they removed Nagoshi's name and anyone else who left SEGA to work with him from the credits of ALL the Yakuza games. They also removed the credits for the studios that ported the games to PC. Because of this, the credits are like a full minute or so shorter and they made the fonts bigger to try and hide it.
>Konami deleted Kojimbo's name from MGS collection and MGS Delta >IT'S HIS GAME YOU GREEDY CUNT. SAY IT WITH ME. IT'S. HIS. GAMEEEEEEEEE. >Sega deleted Nagoshi's name from Yakuze re-release >Um ackshually, this is a standard practice in Japanese work culture. So there's definitely no bad blood between them!
They got a spineless shill to voice a honorable man.
Hiring practices in general would improve drastically, there's been a lot of studies on it, and it was consequentially deemed racist because certain people would be hired way less based on merit.
those drawings are really vile but i'd be lying if i were saying i didnt laugh. its not the dudes fault incompetent corpos hired him, he's just a fan like most of us.
He was good chuds, you're just mad a real Asian is voicing Kiyru
Another seething incel
Better than white knighting a failed VA.
I mean holy shit man look at yourself...

based. I can't wait for AI to take away the job of every voice actor. Their egos are too much and take away from the characters.
yeah this sounds good
>you're just mad a real Asian is voicing Kiyru
A real asian was voicing him before...
>All Asians are japanese
Kirr youlserf
an asian doing the english voice
>real asian
He's Korean, born in Venezuela. If you say a Korean voicing a Japanese person is fine, you're unironically racist in your own way.
They're all the same. Cope weeb.
you'd think that but they all fucking hate each other, too much raping and pillaging no one ever wanted to admit they did
I didn't learn of this until I moved to the big city and discovered there was no solidarity among Asians, and it wasn't just by state by sometimes even by region like how Americans shit on the South or Coasts. It was serious shock to learn we all hated each other by default. After a year whenever anybody asked I just said I was a white guy, it was easier to be totally dismissed as a banana than whatever historical grievance people want to attach to your heritage.
>asiatics infiltrating Japan,infiltrating yakuza, infiltrating Venezuela, infiltrating USA, infiltrating voice acting
>new story in the horizon
Secret Koreans doesn't seem so implausible now, does it?
>born in Venezuela
So he's venezuelan?
Or does that only work in western countries?
Venezuelan here, it depends really, some people like Devendra Banhart were born there but their families were white/rich enough that they were able to move when shit started to hit the fan, some, like Yong, are some mystery meat looking ass and it's hard to pinpoint, also, didn't he move from there at like 5 years old?
Yeah, we got the mutt treatment over here except we did have white people until socialism.
Now I got reminded of Lele Pons, truly a disgrace from our country along that Yong guy and whatever shill (enchufado) gets to USA.
Kevmo is that you?
YOOOOOOOONG OUT
of the VA industry
>Asian are all same one race
Umm....that sounds racist sweeties.
Can't wait for AI to replace you VA cuckolds. Gaming will finally have capital to spend on polishing the code instead of wasting all money on you cancer shite. Rest in piss and shit, nobody will miss you.
the money will just go to every possible hole but the "make the game better" hole
but yes fuck va i agree with that part
>Gaming will finally have capital to spend on polishing the code
Oh no no no!
He thinks... haha.. he thinks that.... if the companies find a way to save money or spend less, it will mean more money for the game, and not into investors and CEO's pockets!
LOL! LMAO! ROTF! Jajaja! WWW! Huehue
yeah it will mean both
>
Delusional
Not delusional, just facts.
So long as money is not being wasted on VA's, it doesn't matter where it goes.
Based on several dozen youtube comments by zoomers on several different videos comparing his lines to kiryu's old english va and the japanese dub, everyone unanimously thinks he's shit.
They say an asian has to be cast and declare a korean is close enough to a jap yet somehow we are the racist ones
Koreans aren't asians. They're circumcised.
He is not japanese, wanker.
>a real asian man can only be japanese
Chuddie,, I.....
we need a real aryan voicing kiryu

Racist as fuck to be honest. Why didn't they hire a Japanese?
I do unironically think that it's perfectly fine for a Korean to voice a Japanese character.
But don't pretend like it's any better than an American or British person doing it.
has sega expressed regret yet
They expressed it by giving him roles for Persona 3's remake. Enjoy your new Junpei.
Kind of wish he got the lead role, him proudly cosplaying as P3 protagonist for the convention panel would've been hilarious as fuck.
>actor sings karaoke like an amateur
😐
>actor sings karaoke like an amateur: japan
:O
>actor sings karaoke like an amateur but they use autotune to try and make acceptable
Fixed
There's amateur and then there's straight up dog shit
>actor sings karaoke like an amateur: japan
Name any other cases except Ryuji and Saejima.
Majima.
But 24H Cindy and Shiawase Nara have him singing good.
24 hour Cinderella is also autotuned, you can hear it in that substory where he sings the chorus without any backing music
Majima no majirock is top-tier.
>you need to know the language to understand how singing works
Do retards really
What does race have anything to do with a voice actor?
>autotune sings karaoke like an amateur: venezuela
XD
Kys
>actor sings karaoke like an amateur
I have no issue with karaoke in Y7 and Y8. But there is a different between amateur-ish livel of quality and utter dogshit that was Yong's Judgement. But it's weird, even his Baka Mitai was pretty decent so it's like they told him to sing during casting and they just autotuned that thing.
>actor sings karaoke like an amateur: japan
That's actually my issue, that a vast majority of them sound way too good for some random ruffians. It's expected given how many of them are singers as well but it's just that little hinch in the back of your head.
Except Kuroda is an actual singer
>that a vast majority of them sound way too good for some random ruffians
That's the joke. You expect them to sound terrible but they all have incredible voices. Majima and Shinada are the ones who dick around in the karaoke making random noises and shouting which, again, is intentional. They're not supposed to sound like they don't know how to sing, they're supposed to surprise you that they do know how to sing. It's why EN Adachi's performance is so beyond awful in Machine Gun Kiss because they used a joke variant instead of his in-character variant.
>That's the joke. You expect them to sound terrible but they all have incredible voices.
That is exactly what makes it good. It is truly a situation where subverting expectations is used properly for comedic effect. It has been a mechanism that has allowed losers in movies to win the hearts of princesses. The total dumpster fire of a movie that is Napoleon Dynamite somewhat redeems itself by going all-in and successfully applying this principle.
I can't fucking believe that the people working this failed to get this right. The joke isn't supposed to be that they're bad at singing. Or maybe Yong thinks he's actually hot shit and it sounds great to him - maybe he understands the joke and just doesn't fucking realize he's told the joke the wrong way utterly voiding it of all comedic effect.
I mean Christ, it's entirely possible he thinks being a paid voice actor mans you can sing. Maybe he thinks you can just sing because you did a couple rounds of karaoke in college not realizing that in order to actually present something that sounds good you actually need to go to fucking school.
He cites having been trained in "classical singing", but honestly considering they fucking autotuned his voice? I think he tried to sing it and all he could do was do this crappy attempt at a fan cover like he was so overjoyed to sing THE song, and once Sega got the take the localizers tried to cover up how awful it came out.
>He cites having been trained in "classical singing"
Probably the biggest lie anyone has ever uttered in this entire debacle.
C'mon anon, clearly you can tell he's a highly trained professional
>JudgeMEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNt
That sounds like over-embellishment to fluff a resume. As far as I know there is no recognized curriculum standard for "classical singing" it's a bullshit term that people can throw around to impress people who don't know shit, and sadly it probably worked because the audio producers don't seem to know shit. I can say I was trained in "classical piano" because I learned playing classical songs but it doesn't mean shit. The real shit is having a piece of paper (like ANY other thing in the world) that says Associate Diploma of The Royal Conservatory of Music and even with that fucking piece of paper my music sounds like shit.
He did a shit job and he's fucking covering for himself and retards are covering for him. Maybe he'll cite toxicity or racism like that stupid Ada voice actor did. I don't think either of those people understand that when you play the race card improperly it diminishes the power of the race card for all future times when it actually needs to be used.
If you ask me, his biggest crime was being revealed to being a poser fan. If you or me or anyone was handed the opportunity to do this job you'd train for it. Like how fucking Viggo Mortensen learned to ride and care for horses. Here you are, you have this opportunity to surpass every other YouTuber who has covered this song and you fucked it up because you can't be fucking assed to hit the vocal gym.
There are bachelors degrees in classical singing. However in Yong's case if he doesn't have a piece of paper, it's likely him saying he is trained in classical singing is like someone saying they "studied history" after taking one elective in college. Shit, I better put on my resume that I am trained in classical philosophy.
didnt Kiryu's original VA have experience in singing alrady
swear i heard something about that
Yes he is a gigachad too
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takaya_Kuroda
Mog thread?
he really looks pathetic
The fun thing about the series is finding out which characters are all-star talents, big seiyuus, movie actors, and so forth. And a number of things like certain JAV girls are pretty much as themselves. If Hideo Kojima gets a boner about working with like two or three big star American actors, this series is a gigantic collage of Japanese stars all across the nation that reaches ridiculous extents.
I think most actors, seiyuu or otherwise, generally are expected to be able to sing in Japan.
It helps that the Japanese lyrics are much better than the translated ones.
Kiryu’s real VA is the lead singer of a band. He’s far from amateur.
>JUDMEEANNNT
I had only heard the second half, but the first half is even worse. What the fuck.
It's impressive not only how shitty the voices are, but how the script wildly swings from just completely rewriting shit to not bothering to make it even sound correct in English at all.
I could understand if it was done in an attempt to sync with the melody, but it doesn't seem to do that either. Or maybe that just Yong. JUSTISU needs that -U from engrish to flow properly for example, but they can't change it to a different word since it's so iconic, and having the VA mispronounce it like the japs in an otherwise english song would sound out of place.
What the fuck is this? I've clearly fallen out of the loop why the fuck is this this bad?
The whole entertainment value of the original was that it had a Japanese guy do the stupid cliche Engrish shit that happens in Asian music, the corniness of 80s hair rock, but still producing something that is catchy and actually competently performed.
This is actually offensive. It's all fucking bad. How the fuck does this happen?
Oh god what the fuck that last "Judgement". Someone has to fucking lose their job for this.
>miss
>someone said fuck it ain't nobody using English VA let's just check list it
it's the little things.
I'm playing forbidden siren with eng dubs and even in this I'm getting better performances that whatever this is.
Siren's dub is less bad and more just bizarrely cast and directed. I have no idea why they decided to make almost everyone british, but at least they actually have some emotion in their voice when the situation calls for it even if they stumble on the Japanese names.
Yong bros what is this???
>even the English parts are song better by guys that don't speak it at all
Is chinese a contender for ugliest language
i think vietnamese has it beat
oh fuck the chink actually does sound leagues better than yong LMAO
not just as kiryu but just singing in general
Chinkino
This is embarrassing (for Yong).
I can't wait for every dubbed version to come out and Yong's performance ends up being undoubtedly the worst out of all them.
How will he cope?
he'll just block everyone then retreat back into his personal arse licking hugbox where he continue to believe he's the best shit alive
Do chinks have the same exact pronunciation of English or was it deliberate choice to keep the Engrish parts in so the words aren't out of sync
Chinamen and Japs pronounce English pretty similarly, but the Chinese have an easier time learning it since their language isn't outright missing some English pronunciations (like how Japanese doesn't have an "L" sound).
Kiryu actually sounds like chinses Kiryu. Love it.
YI NO WEI MING DE JUSTESU!
Whoa, better than the English version and I usually hate Chinese shit, this is a pretty good dub.
I suppose if you speak Chinese you got better vocal skills due to the Tones involved.
I wonder if this guy cosplayed as Kiryu and went on parade out town like Yong as soon as he got the role.
I mean if Yong could do that this guy 100% deserves it considering he sounds more like Kiryu on top of nailing the song perfectly despite it being translated.
100% other dub actors can actually sing and got the job fairly as opposed to Yong who lied about singing on his resume and put that he's a youtuber with over 1 mil subs. NA hires are based on virtue signaling now instead of actual talent and skills.
Say what you will about Chinese as a language. But this dude can legitimately sing.
He also actually has a voice that's naturally deep enough to sound like Kiryu, unlike Yong.
>Say what you will about Chinese as a language. But this dude can legitimately sing.
It's because the Chinese actually place their children at a young age in singing lessons and other things to make sure they're good at (Almost) everything they can do.
Jackie Chan also sang.

Dont show this to Yong, lmao. He is gonna kill himself on the spot
he has already seen it because he is lurking here
Who do you think is creating all these posts anon?
The guy has an humiliation fetish, look at his Twitter posts if you do t believe me.
Doesnt sound bad actually
is there a Korean dub?
because I want to see how one of Yongs own "countrymen" does it
Just English, Chinese, and the original Japanese.
The demo only gives the option for Chinese, Japanese, and English dub. The Steam store also says those are the only 3 that will have full voice support, and Korean will only be subs.
The singing is much better than Yong for sure but the real difference is that you can tell the chinese VAs are having fun singing it, Yongs performance feels phoned in
It literaelly looks like Ichiban feels uncomfortable singing with him
Yong Yea only know how to do one type of voice.
Jesus.
What mental gymnastics do actors and singers do when they scream and cry that AI voice acting is literal genocide but they are absolutely fine with AI being used to auto tune them for singing?
This honest to God sounds like an AI generated song.
>ITS JUDGMENT TIME
Does anyone have Ichiban singing in English for a comparison?
>Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth Judgement -Shinpan- Karaoke Song English Dub (Kiryu)
Aineeeee anikiii Yong yea!

Karaoke isn't even supposed to sound good, how awful was the original recording without autotune?

>That last Judgement at 1:34
I prefer the Engrish version from Yakuza 0.
I wonder if yong is banging on SEGA's door pleading to let him re-record the song because of the backlash
>I wonder if yong is banging on SEGA's door pleading to let him re-record the song because of the backlash
Nah, He'll probably bring up some BS accolades on his "Great singing" and mention how "Nobody's perfect." and that he's "new"
This is literally worse than AI.
How do dubnaggers accept performances that are literally fucking AI-tier?
What reason is there to not just replace all dub VAs with AI if this is the quality you accept from them?
>What reason is there to not just replace all dub VAs with AI if this is the quality you accept from them?
They would probably get sanctioned and sued by a union or some shit if they got rid of VA's entirely and replaced them with AI.
Why would they give a fuck about the unions when they won't be using them anymore since they'll just be doing everything with AI?
because voice actors need to be paid chud
Yong paid them to do this right? There's no way they actually paid tons of money for this right?
why didn't they at least re-record that off-beat "justice" before the chorus
if you have to use autotune then just MAYBE your voice actors arent good enough
jesus
is it supposed to sound bad like ironically or something?
Kiryu is canonically a good singer.
yikes
The only english one I've heard that doesn't sound grating to me is Saeko's song in 7, and even then it's just okay.
This?
The absolute state of english dubs
Meanwhile the nip versions of these games have legends like Akio Otsuka
>Says justice instead of JUSTICU

His voice is unlike Kiryu's in every possible way
He sounds more like some hotheaded punk that Kiryu would beat up than Kiryu himself

i keep relistening to this every few minutes as i lurk this thread and i cannot find a single fucking good thing about it, it's just awful in every way

Give me some backstory on that pic.
Chuck Berry and John Lennon are performing a song. Yoko Ono picks up a mic and starts screeching into it. Chuck Berry makes this face as the stage tech quickly mutes Ono's mic.
John Lennon and Chuck Berry were singing "Johnny Be Good". Yoko Ono decides to pick up and make ape noises during the song. Pic is Chuck's reaction.
On the song following up, the sound engineer " accidentally " cut the mic Yoko Ono was on.
Forgot video

This cuck is fun to bully
wish someone "bullied" his skull with a nice metal pipe

And all the zoomers and alphas would be intot he series
>he literally puts that he is a youtuber with a million subs on his resume
>I've been acting longer than I've been YouTubing
Well, Show me your previous works. Before youtubing.
He did theater.
Which Theater, What Plays in What Role?
• Nolan Gabriel in The Library (E-52)
• Juror 3 (LEAD ANTAGONIST) in 12 Angry Jurors (E-52)
• Lloyd Dallas (LEAD) in Noises Off (Harrington Theater Arts Company)
• Bobby the Saw/Vixen in Threepenny Opera (Resident Ensemble Players)
• All Male Adults in Spring Awakening (Harrington Theater Arts Company)
• Cinderella’s Father in Into the Woods (Harrington Theater Arts Company)
• Clown in The 39 Steps (Harrington Theater Arts Company)
• Neville Landless in The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Harrington Theater Arts Company)
So these were just part of the School projects
Like doing Homework
No real "I got hired to do this plays" experince?
Lmfao these are all student projects
Where is the work at? He's never been professionally hired or sought out after
Ok where’s the proof he actually voice acted before? As far as I know he’s never worked on any fan projects from Newgrounds or even YouTube, and a lot of the newer VAs got their starts doing stuff like that. Hell even people like Rina Chan, regardless what Ganker thinks about her, actually had a extensive portfolio before she went professional
this fucker started YT in 2011 so he's probably counting highschool acting class
uhhh he clearly did voiceovers for obscure TV series or whatever that you just cant track down anymore
he's Pucci in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10173973/
It's all very minor roles aside from a couple of roles like Pucchi.
He really only started doing more and more a couple of years back so him getting a protagonist role like this is most likely just due to his Youtube reputation.
Yong didn't earn shit based on VA talent.
Of course he didn’t earn it. If it wasn’t for his 2 million subscribers on YouTube he would never be near where he’s at today. I’m honestly shocked he can afford to live in LA. YouTube bucks and VA bucks aren’t nearly enough to live there
Nah he probably makes a good bit of money, he's grifting on Patreon too
But he's probably like boogie a lolcow in the making and spending more than he's worth
Are we sure mommy and daddy isn't still paying for him to this day?
Wasn’t he born in that shithole called Venezuela?
yeah but they all moved out to america when he was 14
Yeah, but then he lived in DE for a time, so to go from the East Coast to the West Coast, he had to have some form of money from his parents.
Honestly shocked considering Venezuela is poor. Parents probably worked under Chavez with a cushy government job. Probably also why Yong is left wing.
Also, he got those roles because of the voice acting strikes. Localization companies didn't want to deal with that headache, so they looked for scabs from across the internet which also helped cut down on costs for something people don't really care or think about in the first place. Some of those turned out to work fine like 2B, but Yong is just terrible as Kiryu and his online tantrum isn't helping matters.
he literally puts having 1m subscribers in his VA resume lol.
>literally puts having 1m subscribers in his VA resume lol
Of course he does...
But why is it under "SKILLS"? That's not a skill.
Shilling is a skill
>Spanish
Is he a Flip?
Born to Korean parents in Venezuela, moved to the US when he was 14. Moved to LA just a few years ago, which is where he really wanted to kickstart his VA career.
They would definitely pick Mr.Beast over Yong Yea if he was desperate and time-free as him, who uses his "journalist" status to sneak up to an industry veterans in private parties and gaslight them with his CV
This is actually true, most of the time people don't see the time and effort that you put into it. I've been taking acting and singing lessons for 7 years now, taking small roles in shows and films and for people it just looks like that I just go there and do it.
lil bro got a cool role and immediately lets it go to his head
>FYI, I've been acting longer than I've been YouTubing.
Why do film actors have such hubris?
Acting talent doesn't just translate over to voice acting talent. It's its own art.

>english dub
>an actual literal chink can sing the english parts better
>leftypol corporate defence force becomes literally racist in an effort to "own the chuds"
they just are literally racist, i see them get into spastic arguments and they say the wildest shit about ethnics
I consider myself center-leaning-left because of these fucks and other such cases. Apparently it's not enough that being a white guy is a cardinal sin unless you "atone" by selling your soul to "righting the problem", these people then push every single thing they can about other races while being the absolutely most idiotic, nonsensical and downright offensive fools I have ever seen short of Florida Man antics. Every single attempt at promoting black or asian actors becomes this hilariously fucked up attempt at positive discrimination that results in shit like the "black" (ie, anime tanned) rabbit girl in My Hero Academia getting a black voice actress for the English dub, and then retards on twitter cry for a black voice actress because she "doesn't sound black enough" directly to the VA herself.
You can improve society maybe, but you can't fix retarded people who can be born anywhere and everywhere as anything.
haha fuck i remember that, didn't sound like a violent retard so clearly she can't be black
I know what rabbit character you are talking about and I stopped watching that anime before she showed up but she's hot as fuck and I just pretend she sounds like this:
It's better this way, not actually hearing her actually speak.
Yeah, leftists hate Japs for having an exceptionally prosperous homogenous society that is the exact opposite of their brown communist dystopias. If you ever mention Japan, you can guarantee one of them will come out of the woodworks to tell you about it.
> Homogenous.
Nah they are importing foreigners to replace their dying middle age population as well as the Europeans, sorry to break it to you zoomzoom, its not 2000-2010s anymore.
>rather waste money on useless mohammed over helping their own children
I hate this cuck era so fucking much
Bro, Japan is still like 96% Japanese.
Which is why leftists are trying to turn Japan into a third world shithole like the rest of the gay west.
>schizopolfags unironically think le leftypol is a thing and use it to determine their political views
lmao retarded mutts. must fit right in at the dollar general break room!
>exceptionally prosperous homogenous society
That does not describe Japan, you retarded weeb.
>becomes
You can't become something you always were.
Great! 3 more months of Ganker seething at e-celeb garbage...
So anons, is the jap dub still available in the English release?
yes
unless you simply are some lazy fuck or really enjoy hearing specific english VAs, this series is JP first, and then the dubs have been a fairly recent addition to try to broaden western appeal
>and then the dubs have been a fairly recent addition to try to broaden western appeal
When Yakuza 1 was originally released in the west, it only had English dub zoomie
yea and then they immediately got deleted because they were horrendously bad
the english isn't even available until like a few weeks after the game comes out
I don't know why people are pretending yakuza is gonna be dub only when it was notoriously shit but corny and then continues to be pretty notoriously shit but not even in a funny way now
Sales would plummet by like 90% if it didn't have the original dub, dude. Not even kidding.
Can't wait for AI to replace homosexuals like Yong yea and Gianni
>pay voice actors what they're worth!
damn, how much did Sega charge him then?
um, he EARNED Kiryu, ok????????
what is this type of head shape called
The Malnourished Asian-American.
Dame Da Head
jungle chinkoid
Modern american diet.
I never watched his videos, thanks.
Yayoi
Overripened melon.
fetal alcohol syndrome
post his profile pic
zipperhead
Its a shame, I really like the English cast besides Yong.
Please mod's, Please have a mod day one that replaces only kiyru and call it "yong out my game"
Why are anons so obsessed with Yong? I am almost suspecting that he's the "bad PR is still PR" type and is himself making these "Yong mogging threads" in order to become and stay relevant.
He immediately updated his resume to fix an error that an anon found, so he's here. I have started to wonder how many of these posts are made by him. That's...not healthy.
>original english voice actor got replaced by a asiatic
>the plot of 8 is Kiryu being secret korean
It all makes sense now.
oh shit, i was wondering whats up with that korean hairstyle
We never did find out who his parents were...
Next he must defeat the Jingweon within himself
I'll be honest I was skeptical at first but it's really growing on me. He's clearly passionate about the IP and the medium as a whole. Sure there's room for improvement but given the amount of effort we've already seen put in I can only see him improving over time. I think we'll all be left with egg on our face in the future and we'll have to agree that the hate bandwagon against me is unjustified.
>rips off one of the greatest metal bands of all time
>doesn't even do it right
what band where they ripping off?
Village People
I'm surprised that he got cast with a singing voice like that, they really should have had a separate singer. He sounds like a standard Karaoke singer, but the whole series had made a point of casting VAs that can also sing if they do karaoke.
Yeah the voice acting sucks but homosexuals really try to find any tiny reason to hate on Yong Yea. Undeservedly I say.
He's not really anything special beyond maybe a decent Pucci voice. As a VA he's incredibly mediocre and can't really do much that isn't his usual voice or trying to make himself sound more badass. As a Youtuber he just takes articles other people made and then quadruples them out in length to keep regurgitating and circling around on the information with his own personal takes added on top so he can pad out for viewership and revenue. Occasionally he deviates from that to bitch excessively about anyone that slights him or happens to be Konami while sucking HIdeo Kojima cock every time Koimbles shows up in the news again.
yong is a fuckhead for how he made his "youtube career", but it's fine to be a shit VA
what's funny is how big of a bitch he's acting like after people told him he makes a shit Kiryu
>leftist homosexual that hates the people whose land he's living in
>undeservedly
>manbaby youtuber bitch well past his teenage years acts like a bitch on social media
>not deserving of being made fun of endlessly
Nah.
>undeservedly
>Uhm Mario just sounds like Chris Pratt???
>Meanwhile his Kiryu is just his voice with him forcing a tiny bit of vocal fry
He deserves to be mocked and laughed at for being such a fart huffing retard.
>Undeservedly
i only know this homosexual because of cyberpunk 2077 pre-release.
He was one of the homosexuals shilling this game so hard, saying that they got to play it behind the scene and it will ''deliver''
only to do a 180 once the game released AND then going back to shill the DLC of cyberpunk
This little asian bitch boy has zero spine.
remember to always laugh at dubfags
Stop making fun of him, you jealous racist chuds.
Thanks for the (You)s retards
I was merely pretending.
I don’t even know who this guy is lmao.
You all lost.
I won.
Ser you next thread.
>you
>I
you're all you fool
This would have honestly not gone as viral if Yong Yea decided to keep his ego in check. If he did not go out and actually cosplay as Kiryu and went around like he was some top dog shit no one would really care that much.
Still can't believe SEGA hired an unironic chinlet soi boi for Kiryu Kazuma of all characters.
Why is this shit so common with dub VAs?
Like they start trying to act like they themselves are the character. They're not even the original voice actor that brought the character to life.
Name three other Eng VAs who are exactly like this, from what I've seen it is exclusive to Yong. The others may have fun with their characters but I've never seen another VA claim they're the best, the definitive voice for a character, LARPing as the character etc
David Hayter
Difference being David Hayter is a good voice actor
i hope to god you didnt type that with a straight face
there is a reason he got zero work outside of metal gear and fucking tortanic
and kojima was trying to replace him the entire run of metal gear ontop of that
I can't give you specific examples (because I forgot lol) but I think I've seen this with some of Persona (5?) and Fire Emblem (3H) voice actors.
I guess it isn't quite Yong level where they cosplay as them and mention it every second, but I often see them say shit like "I am John Fuckwad, BUT YOU MAY KNOW ME BETTER AS SUBARU MATSUMOTO-SAMA FROM UNDERAGE PANTY QUEST XVI, [says incredibly cringey line from game]" and in interviews and shit they'll act like they know the character better than anyone despite their version of the character having been butchered by fucked up localizers that are probably even more talentless than they are.
I wish I had some examples on hand, but since I don't, feel free to disregard everything I say as bullshit. Though I'm pretty sure none have been as bad as Yong though.
didn’t the bayonetta VA try to do the whole “i’m the real bayonetta” song and dance when she got replaced for asking for a retarded amount of money?
American narcissism, heavy correlation with political shitheads that use twitter and have their characters in their bio ~~*opinions are my own except from when I pretend to be a character from a thing I voiced*~~
Yong is really his own undoing in this entire thing. Yong just let his ego go completely to his head because he landed his first protagonist role as a character who has been around for years.
You didn't see Kaiji Tang throw "English VA for Ichiban Kasuga" on his socials or anything. You really don't see any voice actor really doing that which just shows how much of a newcomer Yong really is, despite him saying he has being doing VA work longer than Youtube.
>You didn't see Kaiji Tang throw "English VA for Ichiban Kasuga" on his socials or anything.
Compare it to Nishiki landing Kasuga role and how japanese said he was extremely happy to return. But the difference is, he is good. Big people are allowed to brag, simple as
Yong could easily just collect his fat paycheck and fuck off, but for some reason he spends all his free time on Twitter arguing about his role.
Have you seen any of his tweets? They all have dozens upon dozens of hidden replies. He literally sits on his computer for god knows how long moderating his own posts to remove every single one that's critical of his performance. The fucking ego on this kid is wild.
>his ego
I don't think that its ego. I think its he's complete lack of self-awareness. Maybe both. repulsive combination.
Either way he must be mutilated, tortured and left for dead in some pigshit puddle.
If it wasn't Ego then Yong wouldn't be blocking or hiding the tweets of anyone who was criticizing his performance. There is also the fact that he even seems to be reading these threads since some people on this board pointed out an error on his resume and it was corrected pretty shortly after the post was made.
watch that panel footage where he goes STEP UP! the motherfucker is so far up his own ass he's going to suffocate and die lmao.
>STEP UP!
he's definitely reading these threads, or has at least seen a few - the homosexual stole half-serious MGSV fantheories conjured up by anons back in 2015 to use for his shitty clickbait videos
It wouldn't be surprising. He is the type of person to obsess over what people say but selectively blocks them if it makes him pisses his pants badly.
maybe it's intentional
kiryu has cancer now
Why do Yakuza threads now have their own mentally ill schizos that ruin them
So is Honolulu City Lights a new arrangement or did they just happen to name a song after a 1970s pop song?
The latter. This one is more so talking about missing a lover after they've left and being left alone in Honolulu without anyone to enjoy it with.
So now that he'll never get a voice acting role ever again what is he going to do?
Same thing that he always did. Spit out useless videos of just reading headlines, while giving an opinion that he formed from combing twitter and reddit.
He'll just continue his grift.
hayter acted a bit gay when kojimbo picked Kiefer over him for V, but didn't sperg out like a huge crybaby like yong is now
i dont have a sauce but i think Hayter even said he wouldn't want to do a "remake" of V voicing Venom because he respects Kiefer.
meant for
>but didn't sperg out like a huge crybaby like yong is now
He sperged out a little bit, though it was more justified given that someone took his job and people were more sympathetic. This is the opposite case, where if everyone hated Keifer and he started having a breakdown and acting like a bitch after taking Hayter's job and botching it. Keifer didn't give a fuck about the criticism, he got paid and moved on. Only way Yong could've handled this is if he never said anything, or just had a bit of humility and admitted that he was miscast or he needs more experience, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity. Like he clearly doesn't give a fuck that he got someone else's job because they were the wrong race and we have to make everything a fucking political issue. Never mind the fact that there's probably a laundry list of professional voice actors who deserved the role more than he does.
someone should show this anon the “Bigboss” starbucks cup
>playing with the English dub
I don't care if they got the entire cast to be voiced by Amy Schumer for the English dub, you're already playing the worse version anyway
what's the point of dubbing karaoke?
What the fuck happened? I thought they were going the JRPG route. Where is the afro guy?
The next mainline game that comes out in 2 months. This was just a side story game to give more context to what Kiryu was doing post Yakuza 6.
they are for the upcoming Yakuza 8 (the YOOOOOOONG dub of it being primarily what this thread is mocking), but they brought Kiryu back as what seems like a deuteragonist
Gaiden just released but it's getting its shitty YOOOOOONG dub in a post-release update at some point
why do you retards care so much, who the fuck plays this shit dubbed? are you that addicted to outrage?
nobody in their right mind plays these games dubbed
but it's fun to laugh at homosexuals acting like homosexuals
>why is Ganker laughing at the humiliation of a homosexual clickbait youtuber?! Are you THAT addicted to outrage?
go back
We are now at the stage of
>Why do you even care? Don't you have better things to do?!
of Yongs defense force. They have literally nothing else.

Young "AIDS" Yea
You are the homosexual of the year
We congratulate you
We hate you
Every single one of us hates you
You are one delusional, braindead fag
Read this and grind your midget teeth
You think of yourself as of some superstar when in reality you're a fucking filth, a fucking hypocrite and worst of all you're not a gamer.
You're just a fucking, pathetic, homosexual.
Hope the rope will guide you out of this world.
man this homosexual really can't handle any JUDGEMEEAEAAMNT at all can he?
>Autotuned as fuck
Not like he could sing to begin with though...
Yet he has singing on his resume.
>has to autotune him in post
>still sounds fucking terrible
oof
Yeah, that nigga lying if autotune couldn't make him sound decent
I don't like Yong Yea at all but I think people are being too harsh on him. Acting is a gamble sometimes.
that's what you get for being a smug retard constantly in your face on youtube without the skills to back it up. sucks to suck homosexual
So did anyone else try auditioning for Kiryu, or did Sega automatically picked him without any audition?
HE EARNED IT AND SPENT DAYS PERFECTING HIS AUDITION YOU FUCKING TRUMP VOTER INCEL CHUD ALT RIGHT LOSER!
Some people in this threads has said that ProZD did apply, but I've seen no proof of that posted.
>they didn't used Kaito's brawler theme for his fight
>they didn't used Nikaido from Dead Souls for Ghost of Sotenbori substory
I love how he has picture of original game in his Twitter banner. Kinda like if Kiefer had a picture of Big Boss from MGS3.
Gaidens story sucks anyway so I doubt his kiryu English will make it any worse
I think some of it's ok as a premise. Kiryu's character by the point of 6 is a goddamn mess, so anything that reconciles what he's done in the past to how he would treat the retarded situation 6's end put him in is a step in the right direction, but I haven't finished it yet and it doesn't seem they're willing to fully commit to undoing it.
Sometimes you're bad, sometimes you're good. Also sometimes you do something and the director tells you to do something different. I get auditions for mostly lead characters and when I eventually book one I am prepared that people will hate it.
Alright Yong, don't deflect blame on the director. You're still bad directed well or not.
This is true, it’s the directors fault for not directing properly.
The exact same cope when it was Lily Gao lmao. It is fucking over.
>This is true, it’s the directors fault for
casting a terrible VA in the first place, yes.
here's seonhee's english song (incomplete, backup vocals are missing)
here's saeko's english song
here's Ichiban's english version of Judgement which is also strangely autotuned for some reason
bro i can't fucking stand the way they pronounce the japanese names, holy shit
?si=CbNmsGbTM8gmjobp&t=47
>0:47
>"A yes man has his deeeeh-EEEYY....
Bro this is just as bad as Yong's song.
What in the goddamn fuck are they doing with this autotune shit?
Jesus fucking Christ it unironically sounds like they got an AI to sing this.
Are we 100% sure this isn't the Japs trying to experiment with AI voice?
>still better than Yong
Ichiban is bad but bad in the actual people singing Karaoke way, Kiryu sounds like they tried to fix it but failed.
If you listened the the 7 English Dub, Kaiji Tang also isn't that great of a singer especially while doing the Ichiban voice. It was kind of funny with The Future I Dream Of mainly because the combination of his voice and the cringier english lyrics proudly singing "I'M GONNA LEVEL UP!" and shit like that was just funny.
It isn't nearly as bad, comes off more like it's supposed to, some schmuck doing karaoke. Yong's karaoke is so brutal and autotuned it takes you right out of it.
That's the thing that really makes this funny to me, he didn't even have to sing good, nobody expects Kiryu to sound like a professional.
Holy fuck that's a lot of songs, when was the last time it needed to scroll to get to a song?
Do these have the yong voice removed for the Seonhee and Saeko ones? Or is he just even more shit at these parts too? It's missing the whole Kiryu portion of Like a Butterfly completely,
Wait I thought this game was set in Hawaii, why are they back in Yokohama. Is Hawaii a small side area like Sotenbori?
Is he trying to make Kiryu sound like Date from the original PS2 version?
>20 Karaoke songs
Holy fuck this is going to be a huge game
Infinite Wealth takes place in both Yokohama and Honolulu. They've said that Honolulu will be three times larger than Yokohama.
Seonhee's english voice actually does a pretty good job at this song(the lyrics are a little awkward though), it's a shame this will be ruined by Yong's interjections.
YOOOOOONG OUT
do you think they held back the dub from Gaiden just because Yong ruined the ending scenes
yes
Kuroda's crying already sounded too weird for Kiryu's character... Yong's one just going to be pure unfiltered cringe of the highest proportions. He'll make him sound like the biggest homosexual alive when his voice elevates to that of a femboy getting raped in the ass
>reads a couple of Wikipedia articles and highlights week old gaming news
CHONG YEAH OUT
EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG OUT
i'm still going to play infinite wealth with the dub because i really like kaiji tang's voice for ichiban
WHY IS THIS STUPID FUCKING SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD
I know right, ear worms? Nah this is ear aids everyone.
yeah it's so bad but it keeps looping in my head. is this gods punishment for having too much fun watching this train wreck?
WO BREAKIN THE LOW
BREAKIN THE WORRD
KOWAAASEEEE
BING CHILLING
>Yong is going to end up going down the shitter like Jim Sterling and MundaneMatt did
Wew lad
If you guys wanna shittalk his voice acting then just remember that you're going against the ljteral Dragon of Dojima himself. Going down this path was your choice. For those who want to die... STEAHP UAHP
How long until he takes the tattoo on his back
The Doughboy of Dojima, maybe.
Remember when this narcissitic asshole ripped on Chris Pratt for not sounding like Mario?
Man, just compare and contrast.
PREDATORY PRACTICES
MONETIZATION SCHEMES
THE BANE OF S O Y LATTEY
Is this fucking retard trying to have his spine snap?
Would you rather hire Yong Yea or Troy Baker
Neither. I would do the voices myself.
Ok so regarding the new game, does Daigo show up and pull some 4D chess bullshit like he did in Like A Dragon?
Putting for too much emphasis on the words there. It almost sounds like you are trying to sing.
Don't you know Yong Yea school of Performance? You speak your lines like a robot off of a sheet of paper. Emotion gets you nowhere in the entertainment industry.
Which is what confused me in the first place why they picked him for the VA. Dude overenunciates to begin with because English clearly isn't his first language, and it comes across here.
BLEAKING THE RAWWWWWWWW
>I want to see YongYea as Kiryu, yeah, he definitely fits him
There's no way a single human being ever said this.
This just seems like he's having fun lol
Why don't they just get British regular actors like the Xenoblade guys did?
huh
HE DIDN'T SING SO GOOD
Why must he insist on being so embarrassing at everything he does?
dear fucking universe please turn this goddamn demented homosexual into a nagger's pocket pussy
KIRYU MEETS KIRYU (EMOTIONAL PHOTO)
Threadly reminder that Yong is only 28 years old somehow.
shouldn't he have matured by that time?
he still acts like a retarded teenager.
Should i just fucking drop the series? i never played with the english dub but the games seem way too silly now to the point that bothers me, back on the ps2 the games was kinda gritty it had silly moments but nothing too goofy, and i dont like turn based games, should i just drop this shit? im on yakuza 5, for me it peaked at 3.
as long as you have never played 0 you are based and cool. if you have then just fuck off i won't advise you
i started with the ps2 titles but i barely understood english lol i got lost af when i had to feed the dog, i brought 0 but didnt play, i dont like majima, forced chracter
>i dont like majima, forced chracter
That's literally the point of his persona in 0.
kys sicilly nagger
>pasta da mia mario is retarded
drop it after 6. there's nothing good going forward.
maybe try out the judgement games if you feel like playing the old brawler types but that's about it. the yakuza franchise has no integrity left and has no idea where the fuck it wants to head off to.
CHING CHOOOOOOOOOONG OUT!
Owarida da
>I speak conversational japanese
Why did they bring back the old Kiryu english VA for 7 but then drop him in the next game?
Because Kurylo doesn't have over 1 million sub YouTube channel.
because he is not asian ok?
Eyes not slanty enough, you fucking racist.
Shitty dub aside, I'm happy that Kiryu gets to sing Judgement again now that he's buddies with Ichiban
Ichiban and Nishiki have the same actor btw
Haruka Seggs.
That's fucked up. Kiryu would never do that and he would certainly beat the ever living shit out of you for saving this degeneracy on your phone.
CANNOT BE BAITED
He always looks so out of place. I wonder if the rest of the crew was laughing behind his back at what a retard he was.
he actually wore his oversized kiryu suit to a panel?
lmao
He did, and that entire panel as I remember it was him just interjecting after every time Kuroda spoke saying stuff like, "Hey guys, I'm Kiryu too!", "I hope to be a man like him one day". It was fucking embarassing.
>I hope to be a man like him one day
So he's basically implying he's not a man already?
That's fucking pathetic and will quickly dry up any pussy around him. Even if you don't think of yourself masculine "enough" or whatever to be a man, you still don't outright say it like that. It's just sad as fuck. If you really have to just fake it till you make it or find a specific area you're able to excel in and use that as your way to somehow "prove" you're a man.
Give me a link or it didn't happen. Nobody can be this pathetic.
Here's the whole video. I don't have specific timestamps for the interjections though.
>The Yakuza games changed my life for the better when I discovered it during the early pandemic, thank you rgg studio and sega for making these amazing games, big shout out to Takaya his character Kiryu is one of my inspirations in life
Zoomers unrionically make these type of comments.
What's the issue?
Kiryu inspired me to start practicing a martial art. Hugely positive change in my life.
>Kuroda is a zerofag
bros...
we won 🙂
Didn't she say that everyone was so tall in America?
Everyone except yong
xddd
>So Kuroda-san, what are your views on Trump?
I wonder how Kuroda must have felt, considering the seniority stuff is practiced really seriously in Japan.
Was it Yong's idea to take these photos?
What the fuck's the point in even bothering people around you with them?
Can you not just enjoy the moment and dine together with chatting about shit without needing to make it an online post for everyone to see?
he obviously took the second one
Uuh, wouldn't Kuroda eat regularly Korean food in Japan?
Why didn't he treat him to some fancy ass Texas style steakhouse or to some Slop degeneracy burger?
I mean, why would you eat the same (lesser) shit you eat in your country instead of eating the local food? I talk shit about Amerislop, but to be fair their slop garbage its pretty tasty. I guess Kuroda just had to politely accept the lesser kimchi feast...
Given where the panel was (downtown LA, next to Skid Row), they probably went close by to Koreatown for some weird reason. Odd thing is that Kuroda just went to a baseball game the previous day as well. There's a Fogo de Chao just down the street which makes me question why they didn't just go there instead.
Maybe that's what the team ordered?
I'm not really sure but you're right.
If you have someone over in your country, you treat them to some local cuisine. Even if you don't really eat or like them a lot, you can recommend what's local to your area and encourage the person to try them out.
>actual kiryu voice actor dresses in style and has amazing charisma
>yong wears a suit that looks like a cheap halloween costume and acts like an awkward retard the entire time
The contrast couldn't be anymore different.
What do you expect? One is an actual professional while the other is a pathetic, talentless fanboy with no right to even be there. The fact that Yong Nope is trying so fucking hard to larp as Kiryu irl should be a dead giveaway that he has no integrity, let alone a personality.
Is there a Yong version of the Like a Butterfly backup vocals in the demo? I can only imagine what an absolute disaster this is going to be.
>Yokoyama hires famous actors for his characters
>Squeezes every last drop of performance out of them
>Kojimbo hires famous actors for his characters
>Makes them say 8 lines the whole game and do haha funni faces
I give up on the 4 kings substory. The second tag battle seems like complete bullshit without the Legend characters unless easy applies to the Colosseum this time.
I wonder if it's possible to mod in Yagami and Kiryu as members. Former to round out the Judgement crew and the latter to round out the Tojo legends.
>p-p-please tell me how best to portray kiryu
Proof that Yong didn't even play through the whole series. It's piss easy to understand Kiryu's character and what he's like. You don't fucking need the OG to tell you how to do your work that you were supposedly hire to do because you were "the best for the job".
>If you are a gentleman in your day to day life, it will reflect and have an impact on your performance
>proceeds to sperg out and go on a blocking spree to rival kamiya after a few people say they dont like his performance
sasuga
He doesn't even sound like a gentleman either, he's doing the forced grizzled batman voice
He's totally miscast, he sounds like a kid doing a tough guy voice because his normal voice isn't deep enough. It's horribly amateurish.
They had Ricepirate voicing a JoJo character too. It's obvious these people just like hiring minor celebrities and don't give a fuck whether you can really voice act. It's just a fruity little club where they hire all their friends and network.
His voice has no inflection, I've heard shit in literal who indie games with more talented voice work. Also he seems to have confused deep voice with monotone voice, his voice isn't deep enough to play Kiryu.
His voice has no range and when he voices Kiryu it's just his regular israelitetube voice attempting to do anime protagonist and failing miserably, I reckon he also tries to make his voice sound deeper in his israelitetube videos.
Hey, can someone tell me if Gaiden runs well on ps4? Ishin ran like shit in some battles specially if there was fire in the background so it was a pain to beat.
I can't imagine the PS4 not shitting itself in the group battles at the Colosseum.
Anyone got his twitter screencap about Chris Pratt voicing Mario?
You now remember that yong voiced Pucci in jojo
Nobody watches Jojo dubbed
I'm kind of surprised so many people care about a dub in a Yakuza game, honestly.
Most people only care because Yong literally cannot stop making an ass out of himself on Twitter
Streisand effect and all that shit
pretty sure 99% of the people in this thread never had any intention of playing a yakuza game dubbed (why would you?)
it's just fun to laugh at YOOOOONG being a retard
They don't, but he himself made such a big deal out of it that it's hard not to laugh at this entire situation.
Less of caring about the dubs, more of disliking "I AM LITERALLY KIRYU AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOU ARE *insert buzzwords*
We're just laughing at a lolcow anon. Don't get your knickers in a twist.
im glad this fuckhead is finally getting the mockery he deserves
All western localizing companies are run like little cliques that just hire their friends and gatekeep the fuck out of everything. They're all full of activist hacks and people who just use their connections in the media to make sure they get all the work. Merit is absolutely dead in western localizing, it's corrupt as fuck, they even know it and treat it like a joke. They have nothing but contempt for the people buying their products. Japan doesn't give a shit what these companies do, and their connections in the western gaming/anime media prop them up, so they've just let them fester. They won't give a fuck how much you criticize them and they'll probably just write articles about how evil gamers hate diversity and it's a good thing the white guy is gone. The customer is always wrong now so long as they can spin them as bigoted or intolerant.
Fuck you naggers this song is stuck in my head forever

Even Rob Halford is a less homosexual than you
He would've been a better Kiryu
WE'RE BREAKIN' THE CORAL!
BREAKIN' RUBICON, TOGETHER!
What's with the fucking autotune though? Did they attempt to cover him his garbage singing voice?
autotune is regularly used to cover up people being slightly off-key when singing. generally the more off-key you are, the more obvious autotune is being used.
That song? I covered this. With only heavy autotune and still 50% off-key!
reminder I had a huge typo on my resume! oopsies!

>Voice actors scrambling over themselves to voice this post and upload it online to show that they can can do more than "the anime voice"
>They all do the anime voice without fail
>"pls hire me :)" at the end
how the fuck can you even function with so little muscle mass you can't even open a plastic bottle?
they don't function
Why do Americans are so addicted to clout they feel the need to post shit like this unironically, like it was some kind of achievement or like he found a "solution" to a big issue.
This is legitimately sad.
most amerimutts are mentally ill and on some type of medication and are constantly attention seeking
dont worry its fake
Why don't they just use different actors who can actually sing when they have to dub songs?
The Lion King did it in 1994, the fucking Donkey Kong Country cartoon did it. It's not a novel concept.
It it purely Yong's ego that blocks them from doing it?
Macross also did that. For certain main characters they got professional voice actors for normal lines and professional singers for songs.
Probably harder to pull off than you'd think, and they're too cheap to hire one good actor as it is. Kiryu isn't meant to be a great singer either, it's supposed to be charming karaoke. It'd be fucking bizarre if Yong's shitty voice cut out and a real singer started belting out the lyrics in a totally different voice that doesn't sound like a kid pretending to be tough.
>Kiryu isn't meant to be a great singer either, it's supposed to be charming karaoke.
Kiryu is supposed to be a good singer, the only people you can apply the "they're not meant to be good singers, but they're charming" are Majima and Saejima
his natural voice is so nasally and you can still hear it when he tries to do le chad cool guy deep voice and the combination of the two just sounds so wrong
What the fuck is the "anime voice"?
?si=EQBWueTTBgGv5O5Z
bad example because jesse and walt have tryhard voices through the entire show
They don't, it's a great example because that's how they actually sound like.
They have no range because American VAs only have experience with American cartoons with corny acting and cheesy voice work.
They just do their regular voice or some stupid caricature of what they think the character will sound like
Can't remember the full story on it but didn't Sega give some of the og Yakuza devs the short end of the stick on some rerelease of the games? I remember a image comparing Yong's reaction Kojima being shafted & his reaction to the Yakuza devs being shafted.
The original game director left the studio for Tencent because he didn't want to get promoted to where he could no longer work on the game. In the Game Pass release credits for each game, said game director was pulled from the game and replaced by the new game director instead.
When they put the games on GOG, they removed Nagoshi's name and anyone else who left SEGA to work with him from the credits of ALL the Yakuza games. They also removed the credits for the studios that ported the games to PC. Because of this, the credits are like a full minute or so shorter and they made the fonts bigger to try and hide it.
>Konami deleted Kojimbo's name from MGS collection and MGS Delta
>IT'S HIS GAME YOU GREEDY CUNT. SAY IT WITH ME. IT'S. HIS. GAMEEEEEEEEE.
>Sega deleted Nagoshi's name from Yakuze re-release
>Um ackshually, this is a standard practice in Japanese work culture. So there's definitely no bad blood between them!
They got a spineless shill to voice a honorable man.
Literally removed their former employees and porting studios from credits from Yakuza re-releases on gog.
That was literally the only change they made.
>You could not handle your failure
>And where did it lead you? Right back to me
Voice acting would improve if the director or whoever approves the voices had no knowledge of who's voicing who when auditioning.
Hiring practices in general would improve drastically, there's been a lot of studies on it, and it was consequentially deemed racist because certain people would be hired way less based on merit.
those drawings are really vile but i'd be lying if i were saying i didnt laugh. its not the dudes fault incompetent corpos hired him, he's just a fan like most of us.
>those drawings are really vile
They just trace his face
They should've just hired this guy to sing as Kiryu
