Personal Selection

Top Eurobeat

A selection of the purest Initial D songs, organized by Stage and leaving aside romantic and filler tracks. For me, they represent every race and key moment of the series — scenes I've replayed over and over and that have moved me to the core of my soul.

As a touge driver, these songs give me chills every time I go out to give it my all on mountain pass asphalt.

TOP 10 PERSONAL

Note: This top 10 has been very difficult to choose and I still have doubts to this day. It's based on my personal passion and what each song conveys to me. Some like "Deja Vu", which many consider the most iconic and a candidate for #1, doesn't even make my top 10 — I'm sick of hearing it.

#1

Let's go come on!

Manuel

Fourth Stage Act 1

Simply the perfect song, a masterpiece that conveys the purest feeling of Initial D and makes you accelerate without looking back. It starts the race with Toru who appears confident while praising Takumi as a driver.

#2

Breakin' out

Ace

Extras Initial D Arcade Stage 8 Infinity

Despite not appearing in the series, it's an incredible song with a rhythm that releases adrenaline behind the wheel.

#3

Rockin' hardcore

Fastway

Fifth Stage Act 5

Iconic moment where we see Keisuke's maturity shine against a professional driver like Hideo Minagawa with his Supra MK4, a battle that ends up being decided by Keisuke's ability to manage tire wear, which he acquired through the time attack training imposed by Ryosuke. An incredible song.

#4

Running in the 90's

Max Coveri

First Stage Act 4, 9

Needs no introduction. Its lyrics transport you to the golden age of touge, a dream for those who lived it. Ryosuke follows Takumi with Keisuke as co-pilot in the race vs Nakazato and his R32 to analyze Takumi. He is very impressed by his drift precision and calls it a "Work of art".

#5

Go beat crazy

Castaway

Fourth Stage Act 2

The moment Takumi leaves Toru speechless after overtaking him by taking a shortcut over an open gutter using weight balance.

#6

The top

Ken Blast

Fifth Stage Act 13

Represents the most legendary race of the entire series - Keisuke vs Go Hojo. The lyrics symbolize the purest essence of touge in a moment where we see Keisuke shine at his peak and at a speed never seen before, showing technical superiority against Hojo with his NSX that leaves everyone thrilled.

#7

Chemical love

Kevin & Cherry

Fourth Stage Act 23

A song with an incredible rhythm. Race between Takumi and Toshiya Joshima "God Hand", one of the most legendary races of the series where Takumi faces someone who would rival his father Bunta. At that moment he is overtaken by Joshima using his time attack line. Later Takumi overtakes him using a combination of the blind attack and the gutter lip that forces Joshima to grab his S2000's steering wheel with both hands. He ends up praising Takumi's driving saying he has "a heavenly technique" and that it's scary to be so good at his age.

#8

Night of fire

Niko

First Stage Act 23

Race before the encounter with Ryosuke. Takumi demonstrates overwhelming superiority against Kenta while driving in the rain, further reinforcing his legend in Akina.

#9

Station to Station

Derreck Simons

Second Stage Act 8

Unforgettable moment when Ryosuke exploits Kyoichi's weakness in right-hand curves to overtake his unstoppable Evo III in Akagi, blocking his nose while clearing the corner drifting.

#10

Revolution

Fastway

Fourth Stage Act 4

Takumi unleashes the full potential of the new Group A engine against Ninomiya. Following Ryosuke's orders, he stays ahead in the first round limiting his revs to 9,000 and never looking back, making his rival wear out his tires trying to overtake him, then using his most useful power range up to 11,000rpm to pass him.
