This video is dedicated to all of the composers across the Yakuza franchise that have only composed a few songs, or only composed for a few games. Essentially, bunch o' people who don't have enough stuff for a full video lol.

- ADDITIONAL/FUN FACTS -
- Keisuke Ito's YouTube channel is a bunch of lofi beats to study to
- Vendor Pop, the one song Hideki Naganuma did for Yakuza 5, was apparently written for Super Monkey Ball 3D but they used it in Yakuza 5 without crediting him lol (here's proof: https://twitter.com/hideki_naganuma/status/751815214375399424?lang=en).
- Rio Hashikawa wrote apparently 1 song for Fist of the North Star and cutscene music for Yakuza: Like a Dragon (sound effects in K2 and RGG Online). He is strangely not listed in the credits for Like a Dragon. That one is more an additional fact, because it is not very fun.
