Ryosuke horii (Y7,Y8 director and karaoke lyricist) tweeted out that LaD8 will be his last RGG game, to avoid burnout. (google translation so take it with a grain of salt)
The history of Ryosuke Horii, the director of Yakuza: Like a Dragon and the man responsible for getting the karaoke minigame into the Yakuza series
Happy 41th Birthday to Ryosuke Horii (The director of Yakuza 7 and 8, as well as songwriter for many Yakuza songs). Here is to many future years of greatness from him.
Ryosuke Horii - Who's been in charge of making most of the side content in Yakuza games since the first one, was assigned to do the script for live chat minigame. At that time, he was admitted in hospital for cancer. He still made the script while in surviving the disease. "If things hadn't came out well, The Live chat minigame would've been my posthumous work" - He said.
This one is sung by Ryosuke Horii himself - the creator of karaoke and lyricist for all of its songs available in the franchise, who also worked as a game design supervisor, adventure design lead and planning department.
Neither Kuroda, nor Yokoyama are cancer survivors, but Ryosuke Horii is. Kuroda was just talking about how he incorporated his experience of dealing with a strong disease into his voice acting, without specifying what the disease was.
TIL Yakuza: Like A Dragon director Ryosuke Horii was the one who put karaoke in the Yakuza 3 after pestering Nagoshi and the team for months that Kiryu should be shown having fun
Yakuza 8 will be legendary, since everyone including Horii is putting their effort into it.
