"Rage Your Dream" (styled as "Rage your dream") is a 1998 song by the Japanese electronic band band m.o.v.e, released on their debut studio album electrock. It is used as the first ending theme for the first half of Initial D First Stage and is also heard in Act 15, when Shingo Shoji crashes during his race with Takumi. The song is heard one last time in First Stage in Act 20, when Iketani goes to see Mako.
It was also played in Fourth Stage, at the end of Act 24, while Takumi recalls Ryosuke and Joshima's advice. The song is heard for the final time as the ending theme in the last episode of Initial D Final Stage, after Ryosuke leaves Kaori's grave. It plays as the end credits begin, just before Takumi looks at his AE86 for the last time in the anime before heading out for a tofu delivery in his father's Subaru Impreza.

Ending[]
First Stage[]
The ending displays a render of Takumi's Toyota AE86 as artwork of Takumi Fujiwara and Natsuki Mogi fades in, then cuts to the music video for "Rage Your Dream". The music video is spliced with vehicle artwork that gradually fades in as the ending progresses, than cuts to it eventually taking up most of the screen, while the music video is shown in a small box, though it does cut back to the music video in fullscreen. The vehicles featured include Takumi's Toyota AE86, Shingo's Honda Civic, Mako's Nissan SilEighty, Keisuke's Mazda RX-7, Takeshi's Nissan Skyline GT-R, Ryosuke's Mazda RX-7, Koichiro's Nissan Silvia. As the ending concludes, the scene zooms in on a pair of racing gloves resting on the driver's seat.

Rage your dream, screaming brilliantly in the wind, |
