Running in the 90s was recorded by Italian Eurobeat artist Max Coveri and released in 1998, then brought to a wider audience through the street racing anime Initial D. Its pounding beat and night driving lyrics made it a natural fit for car culture online. During the Eurobeat meme wave of the 2010s, editors paired the track, often listed simply as running in the 90s, with drifting videos, anime edits and ironic racing clips. It remains a shorthand for speed that audiences recognise within seconds.
このサウンドについて
Running in the 90s is the high-energy Eurobeat chorus from the Initial D anime track, used in memes and edits for fast driving, drifting and racing scenes.
This clip captures the driving chorus of Running in the 90s, built on rapid Eurobeat drums, bright synthesisers and a relentless male vocal chant about speed and night driving. The tempo feels urgent from the first second, with the repeated hook pushing forward without a break. Listeners instantly read it as acceleration, competition and late-night momentum. It lifts ordinary footage into a race, turning a casual drive or run into something dramatic and slightly over the top. That contrast between everyday visuals and the song's intensity is exactly what makes the moment land.
