Nissan (1–10)
Setting SunThe Chemical Brothers
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.”
Original song
The final narration is by Eikichi Yazawa, and he also makes a brief appearance at the beginning of this commercial.
It’s the Nissan Serena “The Beginning” commercial, known for the catchphrase “Unleash it, Nissan’s day of technology.” As a family car ad, it highlights safety, but it’s finished with a very cool, masculine vibe.
The narration is handled by O-KOOL, who’s active as a DJ.
His straightforward and pure delivery sparked buzz, and when the ad first aired, people were asking, “Whose voice is this?”
Original song
A kei car packed with advanced technology—will it become the new standard for a new era? The commercial features an original track as background music that gives a smart, sophisticated impression.
At the time, the new era name “Reiwa” had just been announced, and Nissan quickly produced a commercial with a forward-looking, new-era theme.
Because it’s an original commercial song, the performing artist hasn’t been disclosed, but the track is a perfect, cool match for the car’s image!
Mazda (1–10)
The wind is from the west.Okuda Tamio
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.
Original songFujii Yoshihiro
The Mazda CX-8 commercial song features a modern, stylish melody that feels perfect for elevating any drive.
The track was created by Yoshihiro Fujii of Backslash, a team known for producing original music for commercials.
It pairs perfectly with the image of a sleek car gliding gracefully along—something you wouldn’t expect from such a spacious interior.
The melody, which doesn’t fit neatly into any single genre and carries a sense of freshness, can ultimately be summed up as simply “cool.” It’s a track you’ll want to play as a sophisticated driving song.
Take Me AwayDave Holden feat. NADINE
The commercial for Mazda’s All New Mazda 2 shows the car swiftly speeding through a place so dark and subterranean, you’d hardly call it a normal driving environment.
The CM song, Take Me Away, gives a mysterious impression, as if it were expressing the enigmatic space within an underground tunnel.
The track is a collaboration between producer/composer David Holden and singer Nadine.
The title literally means “Take me with you.” True to that phrase, listening to this song makes you feel as if you’re setting off on a mysterious adventure, racing through an underground tunnel.
Original songYONEDA Nozomi
The stylish Mazda CX-8 commercial “When It Fills,” which blends seamlessly with traditional Japanese culture.
The CM song, featuring a clear, dignified piano tone, was produced by Nozomi Yoneda of invisi fellow, a company that creates message-driven works through sound.
The first half of the ad features a melody for piano and choir that evokes the elegance of Japanese tradition, and a beat enters in the second half.
This transition from the first half to the second feels like a shift from Japan’s cherished traditional culture to a future-oriented, evolving Japan.
