Mercedes-Benz (1–10)
Original songKazumasa Hashimoto
Within the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the CLS stands out as a four-door coupe characterized by a simple design and a composed atmosphere.
Here is the commercial for the new CLS model announced in 2018! The music was specially composed for the CM by musician Kazumasa Hashimoto, who performs under the name Kazumasa Hashimoto.
The ambient, environmental-music-like vibe—where the engine and driving sounds blend seamlessly with the coastal scenery—is incredibly appealing.
Tidal WaveSub Focus ft. Alpines
The track used in the Mercedes-Benz E63 “Sound With Power” commercial.
It’s a collaboration between British DJ and producer Sub Focus and the London duo Alpines, released in 2012.
It features punchy drum sounds.
BMW（1〜10）
I Wish I Was A…NOISY
This song, “I Wish I Was A…,” was released in 2020 by the three-piece band Noisy, formed in the UK.
It was featured in the BMW X Range “There’s an X for That” commercial.
At the time, they were still very much a fledgling band, so it seems it was an exceptionally big break for them.
Although they’re a band, they aren’t all about straight rock—their distinctive style incorporates hip-hop and drum’n’bass, showcasing a decidedly modern sensibility.
This track pairs a naturally body-moving beat with breezy rap, and the irresistibly catchy melody in the chorus is truly impressive.
Higher PowerColdplay
Under a clear, radiant sky, cars cruising through the city evoke a sense of the future in BMW THE iX / THE i4 “Coldplay” edition.
The track used is “Higher Power,” produced in 2021 by Coldplay, the globally renowned rock band from the UK.
It’s a light, upbeat tune featuring airy synth tones.
You’ll be soothed by their supple, beautiful vocals and choral work.
The song carries a bright message filled with dreams and hopes for the future.
Give it a listen alongside the stylish commercial.
babylonMAN WITH A MISSION
Now boasting such a high level of musicality that it feels almost gauche to talk about their looks or concept, the five-piece rock band MAN WITH A MISSION has earned popularity both in Japan and abroad.
This song, selected as the commercial theme for BMW’s 4 Series Gran Coupe, was created to evoke the climax of the band’s first concept album.
Structured as a three-part suite, it’s intricate yet perfectly balanced—no matter which section you hear, you can tell it’s unmistakably MAN WITH A MISSION.
VanishingBOOM BOOM SATELLITES
This is a commercial promoting BMW’s clean diesel, highlighting its excellent fuel economy, the feel of its acceleration, and solid power.
Alongside users’ testimonials, the footage of the car speeding along conveys a fresh atmosphere and a strong sense of comfort.
The song that further emphasizes the powerful driving portrayed in the visuals is BOOM BOOM SATELLITES’ “Vanishing.” The vocals, which feel as if they’re reaching far into the distance, are supported by a strong rhythm, evoking a sense of hope moving toward the future.
I’m AliveDon Fardon
That quintessentially ’60s, psychedelic, sound-driven garage soul is always so cool and stylish whenever you hear it.
The very choice to use a track like this for a BMW 8 Series commercial—despite it being a sports coupe that prioritizes athleticism and performance while also embodying a luxurious elegance—is delightfully savvy.
Originally, it was a song by American R&B singer Johnny Thunder, active in the ’60s, and it was covered by British pop singer Don Fardon and released in 1969.
Highly recommended for fans of rare groove!
