Mazda (1–10)
Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um
When it comes to Mazda commercials, it has to be this song, right? Various covers of this track have been used in Mazda ads over the years.
The original song is titled “Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um,” and it’s actually about capoeira.
The original has a much more relaxed tempo than the version used in the commercials.
Also, in the ads it’s sung as “Zoom Zoom Zoom,” so there are a few differences from the original.
The sound and rhythm are so catchy you can’t help but hum along!
Daihatsu (1–10)
lamplightVaundy
This commercial, titled “Being Yourself,” shows the Taft heading out to different places—the city, the sea, and the mountains.
It’s striking how it portrays the car as a partner that takes the driver wherever they want to go, as a natural part of their life.
The background music is Vaundy’s “Tomoshibi,” released in 2020.
Its dynamic ebb and flow make it a captivating track, so be sure to listen to it all the way through.
PlaysicYorushika
This commercial leaves an impression with its gentle mood, showing Sairi Ito riding in the Canvas Stripes.
In the “Kinda Like That,” “My Mistake,” “I Forgot,” and “It Suits You” versions, conversations unfold between her and the owner of the same car parked coincidentally next to hers, and the unique vibe between the two brings a soft chuckle.
Meanwhile, in the “Face and Butt” and “I Knew It” versions, the dialogue is between Ito and a friend who drives the same car, conveying a comfortable, no-pretenses relationship.
The BGM features Yorushika’s ‘Play Sick.’ Its relaxed tempo and Suis’s pure vocals resonate beautifully.
The title, meaning “playing sick,” adds another layer—reading the lyrics with that in mind makes their content feel even more dramatic.
You are in full color.Fujihara Sakura
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.
The Water is WideOhnuki Taeko
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.
Ikeda Eraiza
This is a captivating commercial featuring exhilarating footage of Elaiza Ikeda going out for a drive in the Taft.
The scenes of her leaving the city and racing through nature perfectly express the outdoor image associated with the Rocky.
It’s also memorable for its small playful touches, such as the regional name on the Taft’s license plate reading “Ikeda.”
Mitsubishi Motors (1–10)
LaylaDerek and the Dominos
This commercial showcases Mitsubishi Motors’ commitment to supporting adventure, depicted through cars racing across different eras and landscapes.
It conveys that achieving performance that supports adventure requires bold challenges on the development side as well, and that the overlap of these two efforts results in a comfortable yet powerful drive.
The music that further accentuates the strength expressed in the visuals is “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos.
With its guitar phrases and rhythms, the song conveys an overall wild atmosphere and evokes a sense of determination to push forward.
