It is a bit repetitive, and the melody doesn’t stand out much either, but it is an entertaining track. “Receive You and Bite You” is one of the most intense versions of the theme yet, with hard hits and fast-paced synth rock sound. The two new versions of the series’ “Receive You” theme are also notable. It more closely follows the original version, but still carries some markedly different lines, and the electric guitar sounds great when it comes in with the chorus melody. Lastly there is “For Faith (Instruments)”, which brings back the fuller band sound.

The strings bring in the melody later, but unfortunately they are of lower quality, hampering an otherwise solid and different rendition. “For Face” is lighter with piano focus, although the band is still there for support.

“Four Faith” has less melodic focus and a grittier rock sound overall, though it does have quiet sections making the track more dynamic. Notably, the verses follow a different melody, giving the track a more serious feel. “Four Face” is built largely from the same elements of the original minus the vocals, but the while the arrangement is similar, it is not identical. For those looking for alternatives, four other instrumental versions of the theme are present at the end of this volume. It’s composed well enough with a good progression from the verse to chorus, and it also has a solid instrumental bridge, though the rather nasal vocals and poorly pronounced English might be a bit off-putting for some. It’s a J-rock track composed by Hidenori Shoji with a bit of piano and synth featuring male vocals. The album begins with the new main theme, “For Faith”. The division of the soundtrack into two volumes should not suggest that the material in each is equivalent to a disc, as this first volume carries nearly two hours worth of material. This volume mostly includes action tracks for battles and and action sequences, though it also has the new main theme of the game and a few other story-relevant tracks. As per the usual, it features compositions by a large number of Sega artists, and for the most part keeps with the style of the Yakuza series in terms of music. 1 in Japan) is the first of two soundtracks released digitally for the game. 1 (or Ryu ga Gotoku 4 Densetsu wo Tsugumono Original Soundtrack Vol. 1 (Ryu ga Gotoku 4 Densetsu wo Tsugumono Original Soundtrack Vol.
