Ripped/scanned from my CD copy. Original soundtrack to the Japanese racing movie of the same name—audio is taken from the now out-of-print 2013 limited edition pressing by Universal Records Japan (which also happens to be the very first time the album was issued on CD!). Most of the BGM here is funk, though Haneda's signature orchestral styles can be found on a few tracks here and there. I personally wouldn't put this high up on Haneda's discography—not that it's bad...it isn't. But overall this album just doesn't generate enough excitement from me. The inclusion of dialogue & racing SFX ripped from the movie and inserted with some of the BGM is also to blame for this... Oh well. It is what it is. Enjoy!
