By being pretty funny.

The fact that the live-action stuff is an alternate world in the story makes it better than just some kind of straight live-action adaption.

I've got a question. How will this be handled when this movie shows up in America? The American version of "Yo-Kai Watch" is set in this country. How in the world is the English language company handling is going to deal with this? That's what I want to know.

Either they reshoot the live-action scenes ala Power Rangers, or the more likely option of just not bringing it over and pretending it doesn't exist. Wouldn't be the first time an American dub ignore OVAs/movies.
