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.

This is an introductory commercial for the Move Canbus Theory, which features a calm, mature design.

In the CM, a married couple heads out to play tennis, only to realize they forgot their rackets at home.

After saying, “Well, we messed up,” they switch gears and decide to go for a drive instead.

Their relaxed mindset and the way they enjoy life together make them a truly lovely couple.

The gentle song playing in the background is The Water Is Wide, a Scottish folk tune, sung by Taeko Onuki.

The serene melody pairs beautifully with Onuki’s smooth, understated vocals.

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.
