You Really Got MeThe Kinks
This is the song that played in the SoftBank commercial featuring Brad Pitt.
It’s a 1964 hit by the British band The Kinks.
Played with power chords, the song influenced later musicians so much that it’s sometimes called the first track that, in a sense, gave rise to hard rock.
A Question of HonourSarah Brightman
This is the song used in the 2004 commercial for Toyota’s sedan, the Mark X.
It’s a 1995 work by the British soprano Sarah Brightman, and in Japan it’s probably better known not as the Mark X commercial song, but as the theme song for Japan national team soccer broadcasts on TV Asahi.
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.
