The existing Yakuza 3: Licensed Music VIdeo and Uncensor Restoration Patch for this game is extremely bloated, with 7GB of data being taken up mostly by pre-rendered videos. This guide and mod attempts to condense the mod, leaving out all the unnecessary fluff.

• All replaced pre-rendered videos aside from the intro
  (Quality difference is negligible)
  
• The rising sun pins for the Tamashiro family
  
• The "retranslated" line near the end of the game

(in actuality it's replacing a line referring to an important character's implied sexuality, changing it into the original PS3 version of the game's line and replacing the word "love" with "idolize", under the guise of accuracy. The original PS3 version of the game is famously poorly translated, so it's clear this decision was motivated more by their beliefs than actual accuracy.)

• The licensed song for the intro,
  
• The licensed song for a scene near the end of the game,
  
• The licensed song for the credits.

Installation is exactly the same as the the other mod, does not require the mod manager

Download the file from the provided link at the end of the guide. Unzip the file using windows (Right click the file, click "Extract All..." or the equivalent, or just use an unzipping program such as 7zip or WinZIP

Open the Yakuza 3 folder by right clicking the game on steam and selecting "Browse Local Files"

In the downloaded zip folder you should find a folder called data, and in the yakuza 3 folder you should find a folder called data. Simply drag the one from the zip into the game folder (NOT into the data folder inside the game folder) and click the replace files once prompted. That's it! You're ready to play with the intended music.
