This soundtrack serves up a collision of musical styles, as if the coolest radio stations of Tokyo and New York had suddenly melded into a giant hybrid. The Teriyaki Boyz' opening title track is typical: brilliant production by the Neptunes, East-meets-West mood, more hipness than you can shake a stick at. The Japanese hip-hop group's other offering here, "Cho Large," isn't quite as good but fortunately it's the rare lame-ish track on a CD that overall keeps things on overdrive. Highlights include DJ Shadow's collaboration with Mos Def, "Six Days (Remix)"; Japanese girl surf experts 5.6.7.8's (already familiar to Kill Bill fans) and their uproarious "The Barracuda"; Evil Nine's "Restless," which has the kind of monstrous bass line the Chemical Brothers would kill for; and Atari Teenage Riot's awesome display of digital-hardcore aggro, "Speed" (have these guys ever been used in Dance Dance Revolution?). Even a reggaeton track like Don Omar's "Conteo" somehow fits in this universe, fueled as much by gasoline as by testosterone. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Product Description

The latest installment of the adrenaline-inducing series built on speed The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift will definitely bring the summer heat. The cast this time around includes: Lucas Black, Bow Wow, Brian Tee, Sung Kang, Jason Tobin and Nathalie Kelly. No Vin Diesel or Paul Walker. Director Justin Lin opted for a more underground feel, with some lesser known, equally, if not more talented actors to tell the story of the Japanese version of drag racing called Drifting. The main character in the film, Sean Boswell, is a juvenile delinquent who destroys a housing development. In order to avoid a prison sentence, he's shipped off to Japan to live with his estranged father, and it takes all about a day before he's introduced to the underground drift-racing scene by a fellow American buddy, by the name of Twinkie, played by Bow Wow. An explosive series of events is set in motion, climaxing with an ultimate high stakes face off when Sean falls for the girlfriend of a local champ by the name of Drift King.

3.0 out of 5 stars This soundtrack could have been better!, January 25, 2007

By 

Troy "arkane0690" (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift (Audio CD)

I think the soundtrack is ok, there is only a few of the best song's from the movie on the cd, and for those that wanted to know the unknown's I had to find them myself and here are some of them:

One playing when sean and han walk into the chick filled club where han makes out with a few and has lyrics that go, "Hey mommy you sexy" is called Fannypack - Hey Mami.

The one playing in the beginning when sean get's owned by dk for the first time the fast-paced techno song is called, "Atari Teenage Riot - Speed"

The one playing when they first enter the garage is, "Grits - My Life Be Like"

There was one playing while the chick is drifting (sean was in the car too) still looking for that one I'll post when I find it.

Nonetheless the movie itself was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I give it 2 thumb's WAY up..

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Soundtrack for the Movie, December 19, 2006

By 

Grunt Hog (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift (Audio CD)

This is one of the most perfect soundtracks to ever accompany a movie. The film itself is unabashedly stupid, formulaic, and predictable --- but incredibly entertaining. Likewise, this soundtrack features some of the most inane and forgettable pieces of hip hop, crunch, hardcore and japanese surf-rock you will ever hear -- but it's undeniably fun! File this under "guilty pleasure" (very, very guilty), turn off your brain and enjoy the ride.

If you liked the movie, this soundtrack delivers a perfect high-energy mix of tunes to accompany your next underground street race full of fast cars and hot chicks.

4.0 out of 5 stars The soundtrack fits the movie, July 24, 2006

By 

kid A - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift (Audio CD)

The movie isn't to be taken seriously. At best, face value -- nice cars, fast driving, scantily clad women, troubled kid gets a second chance, etc. I enjoyed it as shameless fun for an hour and half. The soundtrack follows in typical Fast and Furious suit, it fits the movie and I enjoy the songs. Just like the movie, it's nothing deep, but there are good beats or however you want to put it. If you want something deep or provocative, look elsewhere.

The track missing from the Hulk mobile scene is Ooh Ahh by Grits.
