Start youth at extreme speed "Initial D"

The success of "Initial D" lies in the author's creation of a very ordinary image, the son of a tofu shop owner. His daily job is to go to school and deliver tofu, but he has a passion for street racing. You must know that as long as reality is composed of ordinary people, every young person dreams of standing out from the ordinary like Takumi. "Initial D" can be said to be another passionate work after "Basketball". It is also a high school life. Everyone dreams of driving an AE86. I hope that the one who creates the myth is myself, so speed up.

Initial D movie stills

In addition to its innovative themes that attract young people, "Initial D"'s animation techniques are also considered to be the first of its kind in Japanese animation. Although the characters are still traditional, every car in the animation (even the Mercedes-Benz driven by the boss) is carefully rendered in 3D, and its realism and pleasure will simply excite every "Initial D fan". It feels like I'm racing. This 3D rendering method has gradually been applied to other animations, such as "Saint Seiya" and "Gundam Seed", which have become more mature. The second and third parts of "Initial D" should be the pinnacle of the entire work. The third part is the OVA version, which pays more attention to the depiction of the background, such as the autumn scenery of Akina Mountain and Iroha Mountain. Many car fans like the third part. There is a section where the AE86 is speeding on the Akina Mountains in the snow. The combination of the car and the scenery is very good, plus the soundtrack, it is perfect. The music throughout the film is matched very well and makes people excited.

The selection and use of music are the most amazing aspects of this Japanese animation. Why is it that every time a racing scene appears, it makes people feel excited and excited? The use of music is very crucial, after all, this is an animation rather than a live TV F1 event. The fast and passionate melody is perfectly matched with the rapid movement of the car, coupled with the engine, tail flick and every overtaking, making the audience very excited. I believe that friends who like street basketball and extreme sports will identify with that feeling. .

Like every Japanese animation, "Initial D" also comes with a complete set of singles, and each one is so enjoyable. Like the long-standing "Gundam", "Initial D" has many singles and soundtrack albums, such as "Initial D Vocal Battle", "D Selection", "Initial D Second Stage D Selection", plus original soundtrack albums. There are more than a dozen albums before and after the disc. These songs belong to the style of electronic dance music, which is also the representative style of the MOVE band. Together with the strong rhythmic RAP, it is enough for the viewer to feel the speed competition between the racing drivers in the film. The music in it is really wonderful. If I really want to mention a few songs, they are like "BACK ON THE ROCKS", "DON'T STOP THE MUSIC", "STATION TO STATION", "SPACE BOY~NO ONESLEEP IN TOKYO", "Miracle" "Rose" are very representative. Some "Initial D fans" may disagree, because every character in it is so exciting and every character is representative.

Personally, I think the single "Miracle Rose (included in the first part)" is quite special and one of the more alternative ones. It is an interlude sung by two boys, Anwu and Guan Zhiyi. . Although I don’t know the specific meaning, the artistic conception seems to have transcended racing.

When it comes to music, I have to talk about its origin. The opening, ending and interlude songs of the entire anime series are all represented by MOVE, a band composed of two men and one woman. The lead singer is played by a girl, and the two male members serve as lyricists and composers respectively. The leader, Kimura Takashi, is also the composer and arranger. MOTSU is the lyricist and is also responsible for the rap in the song. The lead singer YURI was discovered by Kimura Takashi by chance and recruited into the group. The group name is MOVE, which is a very dynamic name. . The biggest feature of the song is the integration of RAP into dance music style. The biggest highlight of YURI in MOVE is that her voice is extremely penetrating, and her singing at the climax of the song is full of powerful explosiveness. It is worth collecting for those who like Japanese RAP.
