Info on "Money Island Kamuro" and "Night Club Island Soutenbori!"

Hey, Ryûga gotoku / Yakuza series fans!
Here's the info they recently posted to the official site regarding the whole
"money-making" side game features for Kiryû and Majima.
Enjoy!

- Money Island, Kamuro -
01. Overview
"Money Island Kamuro" is a simulation game set in Kamuro.  There are five areas
in Kamuro, each ruled by one of the "Five Billionaires of Kamuro."  Make each
area your own, at times by purchasing the restaurants and night life businesses
that crowd the area, and at times by investing in them and growing them to reach
sole proprietorship.  As you progress in acquiring the area, you will cause
heated battles with your rivals and a dense story to develop.

02. How to Make Money
A share of the profits from the businesses you have obtained will be transfer-
red to you periodically.  As you gain more properties and develop the ones you
already have to gain more profits, you can get more and more money to come
flowing in.  If you get all the proerties in the area and bring them to the
highest rank, you will gain vast sums of money without doing anything.  You can
enjoy the feeling of being a millionaire.

03. Acquiring and Managing Human Resources
In order to make the Kamuro District yours, it will take more than money.
There's another important thing: "human resources."  You will need three types
of employees:  "managers," "bouncers," and "advisors."
- Managers: These are employees that manage each area.  They can impact the
  area's economy by doing things like protecting properties from your rival's
  acquisition attempts.  If you place an able manager in your area, its economy
  will grow and the amount of money you can get will greatly increase.  On the
  other hand, if your manager has meager ability, the properties you've acquired
  will be stolen by your rival, to your frustration.
- Bouncers: These are employees that protect the safety of each area.  If you
  employ an excellent bouncer, you can make the safety of an area good, which
  will weaken the enemies in the area.  Also, you can make the management of
  your area progress smoothly by defending against the appearance of "troubles"
  that occasionally can occur to your properties.
- Advisors: These employees are necessary to grow and expand your properties.
  If you pay their advisory fee, they will make advice for your properties and
  grow them.  Note that the various advisors have their own specialty genres,
  and others they aren't very good at.

04. Purchasing Properties
To purchase and acquire properties, go directly to the shops around town.
Search every corner of the town and find shops that seem like you could buy
them.  There are various kinds, ranging from cheap to expensive.  There are some
shops you can get not by spending money, but by deepening your relationship with
the shop owners, too.

05. Battles With Rivals
Standing as rivals in the way of Kiryuu's success are five billionaires.  Take
Kamuro back from the hands of these billionaires, who cause the residents many
troubles by using the district as a tool to make money!
- The Recreation King: This billionaire makes his money by managing pachinko
  parlors.  He's the first of the five billionaires Kiryuu will fight against.
  Through the fight that rises against this man, Kiryuu first wets his feet in
  the world of the money game.
- The Gambling King: This billionare makes his money by the underground
  business, principally specializing in gambling dens.  A very violent man, he
  absolutely despises losing and will do whatever it takes to win.  He manages
  by making it through many, many fierce battlefields.
- The Other Billionaires: Besides these two, the "Sex Club King," "Computer
  King," and the "Entertainment King"--each with their own, individual
  abilities--await Kiryuu.  Will Kiryuu be able to win against them in the money
  game, in the end?


- Night Club Island, Soutenbori-
01. Overview
"Night Club Island, Soutenbori" is a new element in which you can make money
through earnings by administrating the cabaret club "Sunshine" as its manager.
Naturally, in order to expand the club, you will need to tend to it during
business hours, but in this realistic management simulation game, you will
also need to use various approaches such as scouting for cabaret club girls
outside of business hours and making tie-in deals with shops and businesses
to attract more clients.  As your grow your club's popularity, your great
management battle story against rival clubs will expand.

02. Preparing to Open Shop
In order to see profits from your management, you will need to pay careful
attention in preparation.  The cabaret club girls each have their own
personality.  Assess the physique and ability of each girl carefully.
In order to get the very talented cabaret club girls to work for you,
you'll need to pay a very large sum for their wages.  Note that offering a
lineup of expensive girls isn't everything when it comes to making money.

03. Special Practice
The system you've become familiar with playing the series where you converse
with cabaret club girls, the "playing in the cabaret clubs," has become the new
form "Special Practice" in this game.  In "Special Practice," Majima assumes
the role of a client and practices how the customer is treated.  Raise the
likeability gauge by spicing up the conversation, and as a result, the cabaret
club girl will develop.  In addition, during Special Practice, besides
conversation with a client, you can use "Escort Practice" and such and take the
girl with you to prepare her for things like the Karaoke mini-game for when she
goe on escort dates.  In this game, you can look forward to talking to a girl
dressed up in the way you like in this mode.

04. Management Display
Once you're fully prepared, it's finally time to open the club.  As a manager,
you should send girls who fit with the likings of the clients who visit in order
to satisfy them.  As clients become more and more satisfied, they will spend
more and more money.  On the other hand, guests whose satisfaction level are low
will do things like get angry and leave or cause trouble, so take care.  The
various clients range from big spenders to poor folk.  In order to raise your
profits, it is essential to assess the prosperity of these people and change the
way they are treated accordingly. Also, it's not just the clients you need to
pay attention too--you also need to keep an eye on the cabaret club girls.  If
you keep girls who are tired or not in good condition working, there may be
instances of them leaving and taking lengthy absences.  It is necessary not to
just focus on the present, but to also try and appraise what will happen in the
future.  Supporting a cabaret club girl attending to a guest will also lower her
burden and have a positive effect.  Bringing things like new napkins, glasses,
or changing ash trais will help the girls and raise your profits even more.

05. Recruiting Cabaret Club Girls
By scouting around town or clearing sub-stories, you can gain cabaret club
girls.  No matter how talented they are, if you have few employees, it'll be
hard for your club to prosper.  The quick path to a popular store is to quickly
snatch up talented people by thoroughly scouring the town.

06. Fighting Rivals
Battles against rivals take the form of a competition as to who can make the
most money in a set period of time.  If you win, you'll be able to recruit the
rival shop's number-one girl.  On the other hand, if you lose, your club's
reputation will fall dramatically and you will lose many customers.  This is a
battle where the fate of your club is at stake, so be sure to make the necessary
preparations and countermeasures before getting into it.
