3 Authorized music patches

Restored licensed music in certain cutscenes and credits.

Yakuza 3 Licensed Music Patch

🎵 **Yakuza 3 Authorized Music Patch** 🎵

✨ Module Introduction

With the release of "Yakuza 3: Kiwami", Sega failed to renew the licensing agreement with Z+Music, resulting in the inability to retain Eikichi Yazawa's songs in the game. This has to be said to be a pity.

Therefore, RGG Studio turned to the band **ROTTENGRAFFTY** to create a new theme song "Ikizama [Way of Life]".

This module aims to **restore the original licensed music** and bring classic melodies back to the game!

🎶 Function details

• **Restore specific cutscene music**: During a specific cutscene later in the game, the song **"Jikan yo tomare"** is restored.
• **Restore Credits Music**: In the **Staffroll** at the end of the game, the song **"Omoi ga afuretara"** is restored.

Additionally, as the credits for Yakuza 3 have been extended, the song **"LOSER"** will now appear as the second song in the credits. At the same time, "LOSER" also replaced the final long battle version of "Ikizama" and the version of "Ikizama" in the music player.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES & COMPATIBILITY

• **Language Support**: Currently this module **only supports Japanese dubbing**. Credits text reflecting new song information is currently **English only**.
• **Additional Content**: The LOSER patch that replaces the final long battle music will be available as an **extra download**. At the same time, a compatibility patch for the "Classic Music" mod will also be provided.
• **Installation Method**: This mod and its add-ons need to be installed using **Shin Ryu Mod Manager**.
• **Mod Compatibility**:
• **Compatibility Rating: Moderate**
• Mods that replace the battle theme song may conflict with the "LOSER" battle music replacement function, but other functions should work normally.
• If you would like to hear "LOSER" instead of the original song during the "Clay Doll on the Cradle" scene, be sure to download the compatibility patch for the "Classic Music" mod.
