Can't wait to go to work and listen to some Zero tracks!
Cabaret Tracks 24/7 for me!
The Yakuza soundtracks are fantastic. If I'm not mistaken, the team behind the F-Zero GX soundtrack also worked on this series? At the very least, the (English) opening to Yakuza 0 sounds like something from it.
Edit: The Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz soundtrack is also rockin', yo.
...why didn't I pick up the Yakuza collection when it was on sale?It's Hidenori Shoji who worked on both F-Zero GX/AX and the Yakuza series OST (from the very first game up until Judgment; he also did the OST for Binary Domain and the original Super Monkey Ball OST, he works on all of Nagoshi's games).
Fans of Yakuza soundtracks should definitely check out the F Zero GX OST as well, it's got all of his trademark sounds like the hype sirens, the distorted voices, heavy bass guitar, strings and banging synths. He's a legend to me. Yakuza 3 and 0 are amazing works of art and he did most of the composing on both.
The training theme for the single hand sword master is pretty damn bomb too.
Good thing its already on the PS4 then. Or do you mean Kenzan? (which is PS3 only at the moment)

I forgot to reply for now, but thanks for the notification yesterday morning! Was stoked to see it and find the Yakuza soundtracks available in Canada! :)Good morning, fellow Canuck! They're up. Search the Japanese title (龍が如く) and you'll find them.
For everyone in this thread: Looks like Spotify themselves made an official Yakuza playlist!! Be sure to follow and listen to that, because that'll let them know how much we appreciate them getting these tunes onto the service!
Looks like this release of the Yakuza music onto Spotify coincides with the release of the single for the Yakuza Like a Dragon opening, which is song number 1 on that playlist. It's called "一番歌" or "ichiban uta" ("Ichiban's Song" or "Ode to Ichiban"). Give it a listen!
No problem! Enjoy those tunes! :)I forgot to reply for now, but thanks for the notification yesterday morning! Was stoked to see it and find the Yakuza soundtracks available in Canada! :)
Hope everyone else is listening to this on loop
Sega just needs to wrangle Atlus into putting the Persona OST's up and I might actually pay for Spotify Premium forever
I don't know when they went up (I check every few days) but most of the soundtracks are on Apple Music finally. If you go to the SEGA artist page, and then go to albums you'll see them there. I think it's missing Yakuza Kiwami or maybe I missed it.
