Extracted and converted by me. Have fun.

To explain the reason for this mod existing you’ll need to understand the history of what happened with production of the game.

Originally, famous Japanese actor Pierre Taki portrayed Hamura Kyouhei, who is a very important character in the game.

The game came out in December of 2018 in Japan, and mere 3 months after that in March of 2019, Pierre Taki was arrested for possession and use of cocaine.

All companies and employers of Taki started to erase his contributions out of existence, SEGA being no exception to this.

The game was immediately pulled from store shelves and digital storefronts, preventing anyone from being able to buy the game outside of second hand used copy market.

In July of 2019, the game was re-released in Japan as Judge Eyes: New Price Version, with the major change in that version being the replacement of Pierre Taki as Hamura’s actor, whose model was changed to a generic character not based on any actor and all his voice lines redubbed by a Japanese voice actor Tanaka Miou, known primarily for voicing generic “grunt” characters.

And, as expected, the western release of the game was based on the aforementioned New Price Version with Pierre Taki removed and replaced.
