Song of the Week: Deja Vu from Initial D
If you are a seasoned memes-man, you will recognize this song from various videos of cars going sideways. The reason for this silliness is Initial D, an anime about drifting. I haven’t watched much of it, but I have it on good authority that cars go sideways and overall, it’s pretty entertaining.
This song isn’t the best song in the world, nor is it a tribute. However, it does serve an important purpose. Studies have actually shown that listening to faster music can lead to improved mood. There is a limit, of course. Don’t crank every song’s speed up to 11. But the Eurobeat style is very quick, with a percussion track that keeps the pace up.
If you’re feeling down, find yourself some faster music. The Initial D soundtrack is a good place to start, as are the works of Archie and nanobii. I’m also partial to Shawn Wasabi.
