Mitsubishi Motors (1–10)
younger boy
These are two commercials: “Debut!”, which introduces an overview of the redesigned Delica Mini, and “The Inside Is Amazing!”, which focuses on the interior and seat design.
Watching these videos, you can immediately grasp the appeal of the new Delica Mini.
The mascot character Derimaru, who has appeared since the previous model, also makes an appearance, and his comedic interactions with Asami Mizukawa are portrayed memorably.
Volkswagen (1–10)
stop-motionPorukadotto Sutingurei
The commercial aired in 2022, titled “The All-New Golf Is Finally Here.” The piece that was used and quickly spread by word of mouth was “Stop Motion.” Even if you don’t immediately remember it, you’ll recognize it when you hear it and think, “Oh, that song.” It’s a track by the rock band Polkadot Stingray.
Its beautiful lyrics, which liken life to stop motion, and its driving melody perfectly matched the vibe of the commercial.
Another reason it drew attention was the overwhelming vocal prowess of Shizuku, the band’s lead singer.
Poppin’ RunAina ji Endo
The Volkswagen T-Cross commercial that began airing in October 2024 features Aina the End.
It shows a vibrant yellow T-Cross driving and Aina singing, making it a very memorable ad.
The song playing in the commercial is called “Poppin’ Run,” which was written specifically for this CM.
It’s very rhythmic and makes you want to start dancing when you hear it!
Go The DistanceDEAN FUJIOKA
This commercial showcases what Volkswagen’s new Golf is like through Dean Fujioka’s driving.
With footage of the car speeding through bright, open scenery, it emphasizes a refreshing yet powerful drive.
The song used is “Go The Distance.” Its sound and vocals have a distinctive floating feel and a sense of tension, yet they also convey a positive vibe—like charging forward.
Peace and highlightSazan Ōrusutāzu
A band beloved across generations, Southern All Stars released their 54th single in 2013, which was used as the theme song for Volkswagen’s “New Golf” commercial.
Mr.
Kuwata himself appeared in the ad and was driving.
It’s not just the signature Southern sound—despite being thoroughly pop, it’s profoundly deep! As the title “Peace and Highlight” suggests, the lyrics carry a wish for peace, a message that makes you think in any era and even feels heroic.
It’s a wonderful number that makes you want to cherish the small, everyday things you love.
Lonely BoyThe Black Keys
This bluesy track with its roaring guitar sound is The Black Keys’ “Lonely Boy.” Released in 2011, it went on to earn a Grammy nomination and catapulted them into stardom.
The distortion-laced vocals and old-school instrumental tones are especially irresistible for garage rock fans.
Despite its vintage sound, the song itself isn’t as heavy as older rock, making it very easy to listen to!
Audi (1–10)
EverythingSean Christopher
This track, with its mysterious, ruggedly cool vibe, is called “Everything.” It was featured in an Audi RS Avant commercial.
It’s a song released in 2013 by singer-songwriter Sean Christopher.
The bluesy guitar paired with the languid vocals pulls you right into its world.
It swells all at once, then settles—those dynamic shifts throughout are irresistible.
It’s especially recommended if you’re looking for something like Michael Bublé’s rendition of “Feeling Good.”
