The only thing similar to sleeping dogs about yakuza is the setting.
Yakuza is better compared to Shenmue and Sleeping Dogs is better compared to GTA.
Not to say each game is the same, just that the comparisons are closer.

Going to cop this when I'm finished Nier. Copping over Persona because I love an underdog. 
I still play this when I have a moment when I come home from work. I'm holding off on a key story advance mission because running the cabaret is so fun. I goofed up on the real estate missions by progressing the story. The game's writing is mature, no filter and doesn't pretend to shy away from it's Eastern cultural roots. The gameplay may seem dated but the story and mini games provide enough replay value to deem it a classic.
For what it's worth, Mr. Shakedown can be used to double your money but it requires skill or grind (unlocking a fight style that beats him in two hits). I avoid him, too much of a headache

Yeah, and even that's a stretch unless you wanna lump all Asian cultures together.

Hey guys, I just bought the game (only £30), but this is my first Yakuza game and have a few questions
I am up to the part where the main breh has been framed for the murder and has been asked to snitch on Kazee-san. But I have no idea how the game plays.
Like they say "go find a payphone" and I start trying to explore but it says "no time to waste" and turns me around if I am walking in the wrong direction. Can I not really explore the world, or is it very linear? If I am told to do a task, shall I do it asap, or are there side quests?
Also, what are the pink and yellow buildings on the map? I can't seem to go in them. Additionally, the map sometimes flashes a circle and makes a noise, but I do not know why!
Sorry, total newb at this game

Tbh I have the "fight enhancer" so you can see the gangs on the map. I purposefully ignore them most times when I just need to do side missions

Should I buy this or Nier Automata first brehs? 
I got way more enjoyment out of this than Nier. Nier has a great mindfukk story, but so does this in a way.Should I buy this or Nier Automata first brehs?

How many hours would you say you clocked in? That's my main concern
30-40. I'm done the main story but barely started the real estate business, maybe halfway thru the night club business
Might be my GOTY when it's all said n done. This year has been too crazy to make that call...
