Suddenly, but can you remember the commercials that were hits in the 2000s?

When it comes to songs from 10 or even 20-plus years ago, there are probably quite a few you can’t immediately recall, right?

This time, I’ve selected some famous Western songs from 2000s commercials—the kind that feel like you can almost remember them, but not quite.

There are many well-known tracks in the lineup, so those who were part of that generation should really enjoy this!

Along with introducing the commercials, I also provide detailed explanations of the songs, so this is a must-read for fans of Western music.

Now then, please sit back and enjoy!

Saturday in the ParkCHICAGO

This is the song that was used in the commercial for Toyota’s sedan “Brevis” in 2001.

It’s a 1972 song by the American band Chicago, and I think it’s a very well-known track that everyone in Japan has probably heard at least once on TV or radio.

Daft Punk : Technologic iPod Commercial (HD)

This series of commercials, which portrayed people listening to music on their iPods and dancing in silhouette, was aired frequently in the 2000s.

In this particular commercial from 2005, Daft Punk’s “Technologic” was used.

It’s one of their signature tracks, released the same year as the ad, and its electronic sound is incredibly cool.

Nissan Corporate TV Commercial 1997

Change the WorldChar & Satō Chikuzén

Here’s the song that was used in Nissan’s corporate commercials aired in 1997.

“Change the World” is a track released in 1996 by Wynonna Judd.

The version sung by Eric Clapton, featured in the 1996 film Phenomenon, is particularly well-known.

In this commercial, that classic is covered by Chikuzen Sato and Char.

Compared to Clapton’s rendition, their arrangement has a more relaxed feel and is very pleasant to listen to.

After being used in the commercial, the song was included on Sato’s 2002 album CORNERSTONES2.
