RX-8 + Initial D Soundtrack = Awesomeness!
 

I'm also a long time fan of the Initial D anime which I'm sure many of you know about and for those of you who don't know, it's about racing on the mountain passes of Japan, to provide a very short summary. One of the greatest things is the eurodance music all over the show so I decided to make a short play list for when I'm out cruising in the 8.

WARNING! If you do not like techno, trance, eurodance kind of music you will likely not enjoy this playlist. If you're unsure if you enjoy the genre, give it a listen and you may discover your next genre that you enjoy!

All of these songs are from the Initial D soundtrack across all 5 stages. There are other good ones but this is the playlist I've chosen for now! You can find all of these songs on youtube if you wanted to listen and check them out.

no Sandstorm- Darude ??

I remember dedicating almost two weeks watching all of the Initial D stages whenever I had the chance; the series is just too good. I was really happy when they announced stage five several months ago. Despite stage five being released eight years after stage four, the series still uses the same kind of music which is ****ing awesome, Lol. I just hope they show an RX-8 in one of the episodes eventually.

Me too! They've only gone up against one other rotary and that was that chicks FD. You would think with how much emphasis they put on how awesome the rotary is they would race against more.

I was just doing my Initial D Playlist. I have Sandstorm on other disc, that song is a classic.

I realized very soon after getting my RX-8 that it gets along VERY well with electronic music.

mania- sandstorm was always my fav. song to spin and run to. can't wait to get back to those hobbies as soon as my foot gets better. Guy at my work dropped $300 on a PSB headphone. I listened to sandstorm on them the other night at work. wow.

I have download all the stages and burned them to DVD about 5yrs ago. I hadn't heard of any updates in that time. I also have the subtitled Chinese(?) movie that was made.

Agreed! I love how they show animations of the rotary from time to time to show how bad ass it is.

There are numerous episodes out already. I haven't really had the time to watch any of them though, but I don't mind since I can always have a marathon whenever I have the time. I bought the S.A.V.E. edition of all four stages on Amazon for about fifty dollars which includes both English dub and Japanese audio with English subs in case you want to obtain a few copies. :icon_tup:

I go to Initial D World - Discussion Board / Forums and they are down to the last few (may be four) episodes before the season ends. I doubt they are going to show an RX-8. Besides, Ryoske still have to deal with that GT-R R32, Shijigami-guy(SPOILER ALERT)!

Hey Jazzmeson! If you have time tomorrow night, head to TARGET, Granada Hills on Balboa/San Fenando Mission around 9:30pm

The Fifth stage is airing 2 episodes, back to back, once a month. It's currently up to Episode 10 and so far has had several exciting rotary races including FD vs Supra, FD vs 370z, FC vs R32

lol

Someone has put up the 1st five episodes of season 5 on YouTube with English subtitles and they are pretty good. I think a few have been taken down, though.

I love techno! I used to dj when i was in high school. Techno was the music then...

let me clear my throat

I just downloaded and watched S5 E01. I'm downloading S5 E01-06 at the moment.

Here is one of the much earlier threads we had on Initial D: https://www.rx8club.com/lounge-4/why...ivating-83872/
I used to login there. At the time there were just no updates to make it worth it any more.

i have all seasons on dvd and also the movie.... i even got the lady into it

Watch Initial D Fifth Stage Episode 1 English Sub Online | AnimeAVENUE

Starting with Episode 1, they have up to episode 10

Would gladly go and meet up with you all, but I am unfortunately scheduled tomorrow until 10:30 evening. Is the meet every Wednesday?

Watching this show is the only time I would ever listen to this type of music which really does say something about the show.

My friend saw this the other day in Colorado. It's not perfect but it is a pretty good attempt to remake the car.

how did you manage that mine puts it in the same catagory as the rest of anima geeky nerdy dorky. also she thinks my 8 is to loud and will kill my engine necause i am not allowed to drive fast. bummer

This thread makes me happy in all the right ways. <3 Initial D for life! Reading the manga way way way back when is what got me into rotaries in the first place. If I never saw that anime I wouldn't be where I am today

Haha i use to listen to these song's as a kid. It's been a while since i seen initial D, I still need to see the new Episodes!
