Anime -> Initial D
Initial D perfectly showed that with appropriate editing skills, emotional and tonal sense, you can make a great AMV in the anime itself. I considered several different anime and songs, but ultimately chose these. Why? Because they both have similar themes (fast races and pretty women - I recommend Turbokiller's music video), and the tempo of the Carpenter Brut song fits Initial D perfectly. Both the lighter stages of the race, when Takumi or his friend finishes the race as the winner, and those in which they lose. The 39th second and around are perfect for the moment when the hero once again charges his batteries to try to defeat his rival. In fact, every fragment of this song would easily find its place in this anime. All the more so because, like experienced creators of films or series (I'm talking about those who like to make fragments of their works in the form of music videos), the editor of the Initial D anime has a perfect sense of where to put even a fragment of it. Apart from that, I encourage you to watch this title. There is so much non-Japanese music in it that every TAR member will find something for themselves for this event, hehe.
Love the song!!! It's my first time listening to it and I already love it!
And also, you just reminded me to watch Initial D 😅 I will soon! It’s been on my todos but I haven’t had time to start! I only know of clips, so I can’t wait to watch the anime and then listen again to this song!
So lovely <3 :D. This isn't a song from Initial D, but you'll definitely find something for yourself. The entire ID soundtrack is about 6-7 hours long and is filled with various songs - there are some hard rock/metal songs, but mostly lighter ones.
The song is from the Synthwave genre. For myself, I recommend Nina, Dana Jean Phoenix, Carpenter Brut. :)
