Star Wars Main TitleJohn Williams
ANA, said to have Japan’s No.1 international route network, once collaborated with Star Wars, a franchise with fans all over the world.
The commercial naturally featured the Star Wars Main Title as its song.
Composed by John Williams, the prolific film composer, it’s a theme everyone knows.
The orchestral melody, which grandly evokes the unknown realms of space, amplifies the excitement you feel when traveling.
The opening of the piece even calls to mind the sequence of an airplane’s wheels beginning to roll, lifting off the ground, and taking to the sky.
TOKIOTakehara Pisutoru
In a commercial featuring track and field star Usain Bolt that aired in 2016, the song used was “TOKIO,” a signature hit by Kenji Sawada released in 1980.
However, the vocalist isn’t Kenji Sawada—it’s singer-songwriter Pistol Takehara.
In contrast to Sawada’s voice, which exudes a suave masculine allure, Takehara’s intensely rugged, passionate vocals are his greatest appeal.
When the performing artist changes, the atmosphere of the song can sound quite different, can’t it?
