This is a 1994 commercial for Subaru’s kei car, the VIVIO.

The purple body color—something you’d hardly believe was a factory option and unimaginable today—is super cute and catchy, isn’t it? The VIVIO has a sporty image and enjoys lasting popularity among car enthusiasts, but this ad highlights its compact size, nimble handling, and generous cargo capacity.

For the background music, they again used a song by CHAGE and ASKA, as in past VIVIO commercials.

It’s a track carrying a message to children, with a near–a cappella arrangement that’s both beautiful and powerful.

This is a commercial for the kei car VIVIO that was sold in the 1990s.

In this ad, the VIVIO RX-R—known for its impressive sporty specs, featuring 4WD and a supercharger—is introduced, and it shows the RX-R swiftly overtaking a car driven by a woman.

Surprisingly, the sporty visuals are set to a ballad by CHAGE and ASKA.

Titled “WALK,” the song was originally released under the name Chage & Asuka in 1989, and then re-released under CHAGE and ASKA in 1992, the year the commercial aired.

Reading the lyrics, which express earnest feelings for a beloved woman, might remind you of a passionate romance you once experienced.

The scene of parking in a tight spot is memorable, highlighting the comfort that only a compact car can offer.

The song that further accentuates the excitement depicted in the footage is CHAGE and ASKA’s “Merry X’mas to the World.” With its gentle, Christmas-evoking sound and vocals, the layered singing also evokes a sense of human connection.

This is a commercial in which Kazuyoshi Miura introduces two special-edition models of the Legacy.

Miura appears in a cool suit, holding a bouquet, enhancing the premium feel and sleekness of the special editions.

The CM, brimming with sophisticated adult appeal, features one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature songs, “Hurry Xmas,” as its background music.

The track pairs a catchy, up-tempo melody with scenes of spending Christmas with someone special.

Highly recommended for those looking for a bright, upbeat Christmas song.

The forceful vocals, delivered almost like being thrown at you over the powerful sound, also convey strong confidence.
