Latest commercial songs (11–20)
SUZUKI Spacia Custom “Refinement and Birth” Chapter
A stylish commercial introducing the allure of the new Spacia Custom, titled “Refinement Is Born.” An original track by Fumitake Igarashi, which evokes an urban vibe, is used as the BGM and pairs perfectly with the Spacia Custom’s sophisticated atmosphere.
MAZDA AXELA “Be a driver.” edition
Mazda is an automaker headquartered in Hiroshima Prefecture, and Tamio Okuda is also a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima, right? This song was specially written by Tamio Okuda—connected to Hiroshima—for a Mazda commercial.
It has that signature, pleasantly laid-back Tamio Okuda vibe and uplifting lyrics that feel incredibly comfortable and even refreshing.
The music video features Mazda’s sports car, the Roadster (MX-5), and tells the story of a crash-test dummy preparing for a collision test.
HONDA VEZEL “e:HEV” Version
Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, whose unique charm and solid musicianship have won him widespread popularity.
Kirari is a track written specifically for Honda’s VEZEL commercial, a pop tune with a refreshing, lighthearted mood and wordplay that’s fun to the ear.
It has just the kind of cool vibe that suits cars and motorbikes perfectly! The flowing melody and Kaze’s airy vocals feel wonderful.
Of course the song’s atmosphere is great, but the dancing in the music video is also incredibly cool! Listening to this track makes you feel like you could glide right on through.
PEUGEOT “NEW PEUGEOT 5008 7-SEAT HYBRID” Version
This is an introductory commercial for the 7-seater SUV, the 5008.
It shows the destination being set with an advanced navigation system and the car pulling out of the garage, while the girl sitting in the back seat is dressed like an astronaut.
The tagline reads, “A 7-seat SUV where dreams take flight,” portraying the car almost like a spaceship.
Beyond its stylish interior and exterior, it sparks excitement—“With this car, family outings might feel like an adventure.”
YARIS CROSS “CROSS for” Version
In the highly anticipated commercial for Toyota’s compact SUV, the Yaris Cross, the “CROSS for” version has been airing since September 2020.
The song featured in this ad is by Sakanaction.
When the commercial first began airing, the only information released was that Sakanaction was in charge of the music, sparking widespread curiosity about the details.
However, at the time, everything beyond the portion used in the CM was still in production, and even the title hadn’t been decided.
With the phrase “Kininari Dance,” which somehow gets stuck in your head, it’s a catchy and danceable track that’s quintessentially them.
Daihatsu Move Canbus “COLORING LIFE: Sea” Version
The BGM for Daihatsu Move Canbus “COLORING LIFE: Sea” is ‘Kimi wa Tennenshoku,’ sung by Sakura Fujiwara.
This song is a cover of Eiichi Ohtaki’s original, which was released in 1981.
It’s a classic that has since been covered by numerous artists.
It’s frustrating that you only get to hear a snippet in the commercial—you’re left wanting to hear the whole thing—and it leaves you with a refreshing feeling.
It’s a track that perfectly suits the ad’s vibe and even carries a touch of nostalgia.
