No, there are no rich FDs bothering local enthusiasts here. Recently watched Third Stage and was left thinking bout making a small list of favorites so far from the anime. At first I was going to limit myself to only pick four from First Stage and two from the rest, but...I think that might be more limiting than just go hog and say all the ones I like at once. If I don't mention any songs from Fourth past the Takumi vs Evo 6 race onwards that's because I still have to finish watching Fouth [and haven't watched Fifth onwards]. You can pick as many you want from whichever too, whether its a few from every single or just your highlights from a few of them. I'll make some exceptions on my list for balance reasons (consider these honorable mentions): Running in the 90s - Obvious fan favorite (and personal favorite) as well as meme, so I won't count it Deja Vu - Even more memed than the other one, I liked it the way it was used in the actual anime (damn) but otherwise probably the excessive memery of it has kinda made me see it as "alright/good" but not favorite. The Race is Over - One of my favs from Third Stage, but is only used at the credits so I won't pick it as is even though it is the perfect place to use it for lol Space Boy - First eurobeat of the anime so it would also be too easy when it has that going for it, even if I would definitely put it as one of my favs otherwise (because it is) And just to be sure, any song you happen to have as your fav I don't mention here shouldn't be taken as implying I don't like think it sucks [lol]. Redundant message, but just to make sure I didn't imply someone's favorite isn't great by not naming it here - these are just my favs but the title is like that because I want y'all to let me know yours. No need to go in excruciating depth for each choice like I'm going to here lol Alright, so... FIRST STAGE: [Takumi vs Shingo] I NEED YOUR LOVE - Perfect song for the perfect moment during the Takumi vs Shingo race - to the point that my first post in this subreddit was gushing about the scene it plays at [and the race overall, but more so the scene]. Shoutouts: DON'T STAND SO CLOSE and DANCING QUEEN [SK FACTORY REMIX] - once again perfectly well timed use for Dancing Queen and deserves a mention because that one intro is specific to that remix [if you search the original you won't get it]. I didn't actually plan Don't Stand So Close being here as I didn't remember it much, but the moment I listened to it again just to make sure, I sure did. [Takumi vs Mako/Sayuki] LOVE IS IN DANGER - That intro is something else, more so when its used to start the SUPER EUROBEAT INITIAL D NONSTOP MEGAMIX which is full of bangers. Shoutout:
