Latest commercial songs (21–30)
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.
HONDA FREED
This is a commercial for the Freed, which underwent a full model change in 2024, promoting its comfortable interior created by a flat floor design all the way to the third row.
The CM features Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, which sparked major buzz among fans.
Their song “familie” is also used as the background music.
As the title suggests, the theme centers on family and love, and the car-themed lyrics tailored to the CM are particularly memorable.
MAZDA CX-30 “New Arrival” Version
Promoted as a “just-right-sized SUV” with the message “It feels good to be true to myself right now,” the newly added Mazda CX-30 joins the lineup.
Despite its imposing body, it looks nimble and easy to handle, and its exterior strikes an impressive balance between luxury and sportiness.
The music that sets the tone for this beautifully running car is by a mysterious male singer named Ray.
It’s a very catchy track that blends EDM and rock.
“Does he sound like someone?” It’s just a single phrase, but many people probably felt that way.
Who did he remind you of?
Nissan X-Trail “St/Xt” Edition
The song used in the X-Trail commercial is an early classic by The Chemical Brothers, featuring vocals by Noel Gallagher of Oasis.
It’s often described as a modern version of The Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows.”
HONDA WR-V “All together—could it get any better?” version
Set in an overseas supermarket, the commercial shows everyone tossing item after item into a giant shopping cart.
Just when you’re thinking, “Are they really going to buy that much and still fit it in the car?” it proudly shows that with the WR-V’s cargo capacity, there’s no problem at all! Overflowing with a fun, upbeat vibe, the ad features an original track by the two-man rap group SUSHIBOYS.
The song’s lively groove perfectly matches the commercial, and many viewers have probably been curious about the details of this track.
Nissan “Go for it, NISSAN: The Opening Act”Takuya Kimura
Up until now, when it came to Nissan commercials, Eikichi Yazawa had a strong association, but in August 2020 Takuya Kimura appeared.
In July 2020, Nissan refreshed its emblem and unveiled the new ARIYA electric vehicle—a commercial launched right at the dawn of a new era.
Nissan can be said to be in the midst of adversity, and having Takuya Kimura—who has faced various hardships—appear with the line, “Bring it on,” is genuinely cool and compelling.
The track by audioforce, which heightens the sense of rugged resolve, fits perfectly with the commercial’s situation and with Kimura’s monologue.
Nissan Note e-Power “Girlfriend” Version
A Nissan NOTE e-Power commercial shows a girl who forgot something borrowing her boyfriend’s car to go pick it up.
The ad features stylish, Western-style music—but it’s actually an original song made just for the commercial.
A fresh, uplifting melody plays, perfectly matching the visuals of the car delivering a pleasant drive as it zips breezily along the coast and through the mountains.
The song even conveys how comfortable and light the ride feels, making it easy for women to drive as well.
Hearing how the track begins and ends within the CM really makes you curious about how the parts before and after unfold!
