Lyrics[]

Initialize
Initialize
Initialize...
D!
Start your engines
Drive with the vengeance
Gasoline dreams
We're the true kings of tension
Not to mention
Suspense and speed
Full throttle to the next turn
Drift, take the lead
Cos the NightKids always the first to push the limit
Now it's my time
Redline to the finish
It's clash of the titans
Adrenaline rush
On the streets where you can't trust
Something you can't touch
Lightspeed: You can't see it
But you know it's there
We can feel it all around us in the midnight air
Never scared cos I'm out for the title
Initialize! Now we count down to the battle!

Initial D
See me roll through these curves like a wrecking ball
Just a test where the fast stand tall
And the rest just fall
Don't get twisted in the mix
You blink and then you miss it
One bad move
Now you can't fix the distance
You risk it
Everything can change in an instant
Dawning of the Red Sun rising every minute
86 custom fine tuned and tinted
Speed Stars blasting off the line
They can win it!
Lightspeed: You can't see it
But you know it's there
We can feel it all around us in the midnight air
Never second got my foot to the pedal
Initialize! Now we count down to the battle!

Trivia[]

On Act 1 of Initial D Second Stage, "Initialize" plays as the ending theme however it is overlayed with the video for "Kimi Ga Iru" which is used in the original release.
- Following Acts would use the original ending theme without edits.
