This is the playlist that kicks off the series. Vol. 1 – Midnight Run is your JDM cinematic cruise — from soft lo-fi and city lights, to synth-fueled neon and Eurobeat chaos.

Designed for those solo drives when the world is asleep and the streets are yours. It flows in chapters: from peaceful urban warmth to full-speed adrenaline, then coasts back to Earth with ambient highway introspection. No skips. Just motion.
