Trivia[]
- "Take Me Baby", "Spacelove", "New Love", "Live In Tokyo" and "Crazy Night" are not present in the movie.
- "Take Me Baby" was present one of the trailers for the film and later appears as the intro theme for Initial D Arcade Stage.
- "Spacelove" was featured for a few seconds in a PV for the film and later appeared in Initial D Arcade Stage 4 and Extreme Stage.
- "Live In Tokyo" was featured in a PV for the film and later appeared in Initial D Arcade Stage, Arcade Stage Ver. 2 and Special Stage, as the menu theme.
- "Crazy Night" which was originally intended for the film but later swapped out for "Kiss Me Goodbye". Despite this, "Crazy Night" remained in the credits, album, and the DVD release menu theme.
- This could be why "Kiss Me Goodbye" is not present on the album.
