It's confusing, the PS3 game that was released a while ago was Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! It was a spin-off, but a lot of Western media outlets started calling it Yakuza 3.

The PS2 game Yakuza 2 was released in NA and EU last month, almost 2 years after the Japanese version.

Both Yakuza 3 and Yakuza Kenzan! are already planned by the producer for release in North America. It might take a while, but since Yakuza is proving to sell well on PS consoles it's only a matter of time. I did a lot of scrounging for information on North American releases and you can see what the producer has to say on both on the link below. I love Yakuza and I look forward to a North American release of both eventually.

Read about both here:

Yes the source is old, but since the producer is keen on a western release, I await the games with eager anticipation. *wrings hands slowly*

So Killzone 2, Street Fighter IV and Yakuza 3 are launching all on the same month, Despite Yakuza 3 being a Japan Only Title for the moment. I expect a Huge Spike in Sales in Feburary thru Mid March. EPIC WIN.

I seriously doubt that the Japanese release of Ryuu ga Gotoku 3 (Like a Dragon 3) will feature an English language soundtrack. They have no reason to, especially since most Japanese games to feature English dubs suck royally. Yakuza 2 had a Japanese only track and I for one was grateful for it.

99% that it's not, else the Yakuza spin-off would have been multilingual also... one can hope though right? :)

To bad Valkyrie of the Battlefield: Gallian Chronicles isn't selling in west, SEGA is giving great exclusive to PS3 and yet they dont sell. Yakuza 3 wont change that, unfortunately.
