Yu Suzuki gave an interview for the Sega Hard Historia book earlier this year, which I've translated.
The interview took place in March 2021 and while there's mention of Shenmue, there's nothing specifically about Shenmue IV but Yu does at least give a short comment at the end about what he has been up to at YS Net. So I've put the links below in case anyone missed reading it in the random thoughts thread.
