- Not to be confused with Wings Of Fire (Jackie 'O Song).
"Wings Of Fire" is a song performed by the voice actresses Michiko Neya and Yumi Kakazu, in character as Mako Sato and Sayuki from Initial D. It is a Japanese cover of the song "Wings Of Fire" by Jee Bee. Produced in 1998, the cover made its first appearance in Act 18 of the Initial D First Stage on September 19, 1998; later it made its first album appearance in "Super Eurobeat Presents Initial D ~D Selection 2~" on October 28, 1998. Since the song reuses the same instrumental as the original version with a few changes in the arrangement, this was composed and produced by Claudio Accatino and Federico Rimonti with Roberto Festari; and written by Kazumi Suzuki.
In 2020, Michiko and Yumi covered the song again.

[Intro]
(Wings Of Fire-fire-fire-fire-fire)
(Wings Of Fire-fire-fire-fire-fire, fire-fire Wings of - Higher)
[Both]
Wings Of Fire, we let our wings carry our passion for love, higher
Wings of fire, freely, we will fly high forever.
[Verse 1 - Sayuki]
We didn't wait a long time to glitter
Without sleeping, we go on repainting the seasons.
[Pre-Chorus - Mako]
Don't hesitate, keep stepping on the gas with all your heart
Without closing your eyes, even in the violent wind
[Chorus - Both]
Wings Of Fire, we let our wings carry our passion for love, higher
Wings Of Fire, flying hotter than my heartbeat
Wings Of Fire, crossing higher together to the end of time, higher
Wings Of Fire, we're reaching to the distant star
(Hi-hi-hi-hi-higher-higher)
[Verse 2 - Sayuki]
Just hearing your voice calms my feelings
I feel happier when we're together
[Pre-Chorus 2 - Mako]
Even in those days we kept wandering on the broken rails
Your answer was kind. Never let go of my hand.
[Chorus 2 - Both]
Wings Of Fire, we let our wings carry our passion for love, higher
Wings Of Fire, freely, we will fly high forever.
Wings Of Fire, we're going faster and higher
Wings Of Fire, we're reaching and flying across the sky
