Yakuza Kiwami Classic Music Mod by Canzah and Slow

This is a mod for Yakuza Kiwami meant to restore the music from original PS2 release of Yakuza 1.
Yakuza Kiwami remixed all music, arguably for the worse, without offering an option to choose original PS2 soundtrack.
This mod does just that, it replaces the remixed music from Kiwami with original PS2 tracks from Yakuza 1.
In few rare instances where certain tracks didn't exist in PS2 Yakuza 1 (Lau Ka Long's theme, Amon's theme) we have used
their equivalent variants from Yakuza 3 which are the origins of Lau's and Amon's unique themes that Kiwami remixed.
All the tracks are naturally properly looped, with 1/1000 of a second precision for seamless loops and transitions.
Volume levels are likewise normalized to be as close as possible to Kiwami's volume levels so that they aren't jarring.
The mod also restores the proper placement of "Intelligence for Violence" in the Nishikiyama Clan fights
in front of Serena and during the long battle leading up to Arase, just the way it was back on PS2.
Furthermore, the mod includes Yakuza Kiwami Licensed Music Restoration Patch as it doesn't interfere
with the PS2 music in any way whatsoever, so you do not need to install it separately.
Feel free to read the separate readme for the Licensed Music Restoration Patch for more information.


Installation:
Now here come the steps on how to install the patch.

You'll need to open the folder with the game itself, naturally make sure it's installed beforehand.
You can do so by Right Clicking it in your Steam Library and then selecting Properties -> go into the Local Files tab -> and finally press the Browse Local Files button which will open the folder with the game.

If you're playing the game in English:
Now all you will need to do is select all the files from this Classic Music Mod and copy them to the folder with the game, overwriting the files when asked if you want to do so - this is crucial.

If you're playing the game in Japanese:
First, before copying any files you will need to rename the "movie_w64_e" folder found inside the mod files to "movie_w64_j".
Then you will need to do is select all the files from this Classic Music Mod and copy them to the folder with the game, overwriting the files when asked if you want to do so - this is crucial.
