Initial D - Black Out

[@Tenaxis]

For those wondering, the voice in the beginning resembles a text-to-speech program called SAM. It was one of the first text-to-speech programs ever made.

[@ZJRLT]

And it's a fuck ton better than the ones we have now.

[@eliharrison5137]

[@magiblot1]

There are other Eurobeat songs using the same voice. Magika - Planet Love, for example. It's by the same producers.

AE86 VS. FC3S. In my opinion, this is one of the best initial d races ever. The suspense, expectations and suprises of ths race. The best scene in the race was when takumi took the inside after ryosuke slid sideway because of the front tires making takumi win.

[@WakanaGojo86]

Yup I agree.
