📋 About This Mod
Restores the licensed music that was cut from the western version of Yakuza Kiwami 2.
The purpose of this patch is to restore the licensed music from the original PS2 version of Yakuza 2 that was unfortunately cut from all versions of the game's remake, that is Kiwami 2, due to SEGA refusing to re-license the songs in question - "Kuroi Kizuato no Blues" and "December 17" by Japanese band "Crazy Ken Band" as well as the classical Christmas carol "Silent Night, Holy Night" that is also absent despite being in public domain.
Restorations pertain to a cutscene in Chapter 11, another cutscene that's part of the game's ending in Chapter 16 as well as the game's ending credits scene.
Those of you that might be familiar with our music restoration patches for the PS3 and PS4 Yakuza titles should be right at home with this patch.
Unlike our other guides, no video preview this time around due to severe spoilers involved in the scenes with restored music.
