It's honestly disappointing that all of Mitsuyoshi versions are cut from SEGA Racing Classic 2 in Like a Dragon. (The trick that you can change in-game vocal by holding start on "GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!" were removed in SRC2 version, along with bunch of other things).
I think this change was made because of Mitsuyoshi screaming "DAYTONA!!!" at the beginning of his version of Battle on the Edge. Don't know why the other songs were removed too
It does feel like this track was written more for mitsuyoshi's vocals, St. James has almost too much presence on the track, but this one feels like the vocals are mixed closer to the rest of the instruments
