The fiercely fought MFG Round 3 “The Peninsula Manazuru” final.
The main character, Natsuki Kagiri (cv. Yuma Uchida), who loses second gear and is overtaken by rivals one after another, ignites the raw fighting spirit that was dormant deep within the adversity.
The first PV has been released, foreshadowing a heated race between Kanata, who declares his revenge, and the “Kami 15” who stand in his way.

Please take a look at the wonderful messages sent by the three people, filled with their thoughts on the work and enthusiasm for the broadcast.
Kanata Rivington
A 19-year-old half-Japanese and half-British graduate of a prestigious British racing school.
He will compete in a TOYOTA 86GT on the final day of qualifying for MFG Round 1. The main reason I came to Japan was to search for my missing father. Currently, he is living at Koi Nishionji's house.
Comment from Yuma Uchida
MF Ghost is back!
I am very excited to see the continuation of the heated battle once again.
Please enjoy the brave appearance of Kanata and other drivers until the end.
Koi Nishionji
A 17-year-old high school girl boasts, “I choose a man based on his body.'' I fall in love with Kanata at first sight.
Although he has the face of MFG Angels Number 7, Kanata does not realize that they are the same person. I've been confessed to by men several times, but I've never had any experience with them.
Comment from Ayane Sakura
The 3rd Season is finally starting!
Every day, both on set and in private, I often hear people say, “I'm watching MF Ghost,'' and I'm very happy to hear their expectations for the work.
It's a season where not only races but also people's lives change dramatically, so I went into the dubbing with great enthusiasm.
Please continue to pay attention to the love story.
Comment from Director Tomohito Naka
Thank you for waiting! Natsuki's revenge begins! In the 3rd Season, the story surrounding Natsumi begins to take a big turn. So
And love will be there. How should we visualize Natsuki, who has regained her peak despite suffering from an injury? Thoroughly
Please take a look at the exciting depiction of the race, which has increased in speed! !
The OP theme will be Yu Serizawa and the ED theme will be Himika Akaneya.
The opening theme for the 3rd Season of “MF Ghost” will be performed by Yu Serizawa, just as he did for the 1st and 2nd seasons. The new song “TIMELESS POWER feat. MOTSU” has become a hot topic among fans of “Initial D” since the first song, and it is the third time the strongest collaboration with MOTSU has been realized. It is a powerful song full of speed that can “pierce through time.''
Additionally, Himika Akaneya will continue to perform the ending theme. The new song “Yokan no Chu Prod. ☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo)” has been decided.
In addition, comments from both artists for their fans have been released. Please take a look at the three people's messages full of their thoughts and enthusiasm for the song.
Comment from Yu Serizawa
My name is Yu Serizawa and I will be singing the opening song for MF Ghost 3rd Season!
Can I say something a little off-kilter…?
It means that there are people who think, “MF Ghost's OP is Yu Serizawa feat. MOTSU!'' ! We are now one in the same body!
I intend to dedicate my all to Yu Serizawa! ! Honestly, 3rd Season's songs are amazing.
I'll just tell you how dangerous it is. Please be prepared. thank you!
MOTSU's comment
From Initial D to MF Ghost! Rushing through the era, the 3rd Season is here!
My whole body is shaking with the joy of being able to deliver the OP song to everyone with Serico this time!
This is the strongest chorus in Eurobeat history! ! TIMELESS POWER! ! !
Let's stick to time! ! !
Comment from Himika Akaneya
Hey everyone, it's been a while. My name is Himika Akaneya.
I'm happy to be able to sing MF Ghost's ending theme again.
I have sung love songs many times over the years, and each song shows love from a different perspective, and I love how they depict details that are difficult to see on the surface.
This time, I was able to enjoy the worldview created by m-flo's ☆Taku Takahashi, who will be joining us again, and ARAKI, who is familiar and reliable, and I was able to sing carefully so as not to overflow the beauty of each one.
I would be happy if this song could help color the world of MF Ghost.
Detailed information on each of these songs will be announced at a later date, so please look forward to further updates.
