Remember the contest held to title the Daiki Kasho song used in Gran Turismo 5‘s E3 2010 trailer? The winner was finally announced last week after Kazunori Yamauchi made his selection from 5,444 entries: “5OUL ON D!SPLAY”.
While sharing the announcement on their website, Polyphony Digital also released some interesting statistics about the contest. For example, although the it was open to the world, an overwhelming number of entries came from the United States (1077) – more than double those received from second-place UK (452). “Soul on Display” was actually one of the most popular suggestions (89 entries), but “One Reason” was the most popular with 274 submissions.
MajanoX of Argentina (now a GTPlanet user!), however, was clever enough to create a title that caught Yamauchi’s eye that was also unique. As his reward, his name will be immortalized in GT5‘s credits. Congratulations!

@corrado
What shut me up? The fact that I don’t post here 24/7 and don’t check for new posts every second? F***ing no life.
And what? Just because some guy who I’ve never heard of died, the world is supposed to stop and we’re all supposed to mourn for the week? News flash, people die, and we deal with it. Stop riding Jordan’s balls and tell him to step it the f*** up. This is unacceptable from the the so called “best GT source on the web.”
Above is not even worth replying too so guys dont feed it…
LOL deeper inside… many ideas about that comment… :P
I should have won with “Goin’ deeper inside”..
I like that…..going deeper.. ;-)
We know this post was made by neither Mr Latte or TokyoDrift, so to the lowlife out there…piss off and stop cluttering the page with attempts to get people going.
@TD
Your right about the fact that im always stalking your posts and im sorry. I have been doing this to not only TD, but to others as well.(both on this site and on others) I’ve been doing this just to make others on this site think of me as a cool guy and because of TD, im popular on this site. Thanks you TD, and all the lowlifes on this site.
cant we all just get along and judge the game when iu releases?..
Why bother and give message to someone you don’t like. Especially when theres no sign of him giving you a message after your last three posts?
I get the impression someone else is now posting as Mr Latte, as that is a completely out of character. Probably one of the same ones posting as TD, and obviously just trying to start another round of arguments and insults. Ignore it guys, it’s getting a bit old now.
The best way to thank Jordan is like some do and go premium guys. I think he deserves it and you have to look at how many times GT Planet has news first reported about things as well.
i tryed
but that title is way better than mine
congrat man ..! :)
ahhhhg just comparing mine i totally think i shoulda won… mine was Time’s all that Remains…… and my reason..
The music’s lyrics and rhythm shows that the singer is under stress and on a time budget. He tells of all the problems in the past and that it was all a waste of time. He says “Why don’t you just save your breath?” and many other lines that suggest that either he isn’t listening no more or just wants a way out. In the end, it’s all about time and whether if it’s the end–or just the beginning, time will only be lost.
booo…
@WaiDai lolwut? It’s a title for a song…theres no side-story with it just a title. Nice try though xD. Argh I can’t wait for a title to one of these news post’s saying “GT5 demo on PSN next week”. I never tried the old demo/trial, and I only started getting into prolouge (and for that matter, GT as a whole) about 6 months ago, even though I had it since 2008. I played it and thought “WHy can’t I use nitro! Why is there no damage! bargh fuck it im goin back to NFS.” Then I read a review on IGN about how after going to professinal physics…they’res no goin back. So I tried them…tried to look for each subtle difference in the dirve of each car…WOW!!! I can’t get enough of it now. But, I only found GT5P this good…tried other GT’s, only difference was how fast you were goin, that’s all the difference wasbetween cars (atleast for me), although I use a controller so maybez that’s it. Okay that’s enough from me :D
So instead of giving us actual GT5 news, you tell us the title of a song. WOW! Nice one, Jordan! You sure do know how to cater to the fans.
/sarcasm
How about you do your f***ing job and give us real GT5 news, not some crap music list.
I hope you’re just a kid. I sometimes can’t believe how uneducated a person can be. If you want to criticize, do it construtively. Oh, and please don’t forget to be educated.
Btw, have you read the comment above from Jordan?
@CG, that is the most distasteful comment I’ve seen recently. If you don’t like GTPlanet, there’s plenty of other GT sites you can go on and leave little trolly comments.
Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out!!
I hate it when people do’nt read all the forum posts, cause if you did you wouldn’t have posted this. If you did…..then you’re a rude pig.
By the way it’s GT news on a GT site!!!!
I also commented this was yesterdays news, but I now know why, so I apologize for this. Keep up the good work Jordan!!
jordan has recently had a family member pass away and you have the brass neck to send a comment like that? If it was up to me id ban you from the site.i think an apologie is in order, dont you?
That shut him up
That cg bloke is a weirdo… Thankyou Jordan for this wonderful site.. the only one worth looking at!!
Vulcao @ i realy do hope he is a jounge girl verry verry jounge
Hi guys!, thanks all of you for the positive reaction and nice comments!.
The other side, telling the title is stupid with numbers and symbols… Hey!, I just came with the idea of making the name unique and guess what?… It worked!. :)
Come on guys, its just a title…
Take care all of you and see you in the game!.
Greetings from Argentina!
Congratulations! :) Fair play to you on the symbols and numbers thing, it worked :)
I want to see night racing.
wide awake. pure song, pure game. simple. original.
I say they should use Panama by VH again.
+1
Great band, great track. Good choice GT_Felipe!
Didnt like the song but the name made up for it.
So is there anyway we can hear this song before the game comes out? Who is the original artist?
The original artist is Daiki Kasho. Quite a few of his tracks have been used already in GT4, and there is one that sounds very similar to 5OUL ON D!SPLAY, but can’t remember for the life of me what it’s called.
see song is all over youtube. try “gt5 ost e3 2010″ or something similar.
@ mr latte ↲Thanks for the reply..not far away now guys
No problems oh btw Co.Antrim here
“although the it was open to the world, an overwhelming number of entries came from the United States (1077) – more than double those received from second-place UK (452).”
There’s a real shock seeing as the Uk has about 1/7th the population of America. Per head that means the Uk submitted far more entries than the States.
Yeah, i thought that tooo
eh, oh well, i kinda liked my title (but then everyone would prefer their own) “Forget to Say” not quite as intricate as alot of others, but still, i liked that part of the song, nonetheless, congrats on winning MajanoX
also nice, but no game or play connection.
I’m disappointed….
It’s unoriginal/banal/worn to take the last words of refrain as name of the song. For this there was need to make a contest, “Soul on display” was incumbent on surface.
I thought that Yamauchi is more clever for this.
Waiting for F3RR/\R!5 in the game %)
As regular members or visitors to GTPlanet, I think we all have a responsibility to make this site a better place for everyone else, whether in the forums or top news. Not aiming at anyone specifically, but for non-constructive, negative and rude comments, we as members should be smart enough to detect and stomp them out before it goes out of control. If you see obvious trolling, then don’t feed the flame and tell others to ignore the post as well. It’s getting out of control to see 300 comments and half of them are just full of bitterness and sarcasm. So thank you Mr Latte and others for taking the initiative in trying to keep this place civilized. orz
