In 2005, as a derivative model of the first-generation Tanto, the Tanto Custom was released with a more refined and stylish exterior.

In its TV commercial, Mokomichi Hayami and Noriko Iriyama played a couple—many of you may remember it well.

The song used was Yutaka Ozaki’s classic ballad “I LOVE YOU,” but the version featured in the commercial was a cover by Kyogo Kawaguchi, who had a huge hit with “Sakura.” His clear, beautiful voice feels cleansing to the soul when you listen to it.

Daihatsu Move: “A smart choice for adults. Now debuting.”

The Checkers, Showa-era idols, had a big hit with “Gizagiza Heart no Komoriuta” (Lullaby of a Jagged Heart).

The one singing it with altered lyrics is Yuriko Ishida.

She looks and sounds adorable.

Her whisper-like voice, full of clarity, puts listeners at ease.

If you listen to this song, you’ll drive safely.

If you drive, definitely give it a listen.

Kento Yamazaki Daihatsu Cast Activa CM: “A Road Where You Can Run Alongside an SL, A Towering Road”

One of Yu Takahashi’s signature songs, “Ashita wa Kitto Ii Hi ni Naru” (“Tomorrow Will Surely Be a Good Day”).

Released in 2015 as his 12th single, it was used as the theme song for the Cast Activa commercial “A Road You Can Run Alongside a Steam Locomotive / A Towering Road.” From the very start—with the title chorus opening the lyrics—the song fills you with excitement, expanding anyone’s sense of hope for tomorrow.

Beloved as an anthem for life, it’s a popular track people turn to when times are tough.

Among Daihatsu’s lineup, the Thor is a popular compact car for families, and this is the song used in its commercial.

It’s featured in the “Thor Mystery: Pursuit” segment, which introduces the vehicle’s lane support functions, and the track perfectly matches the mystery-solving concept of the ad.

One of the target demographics for this car is young couples around the age of 30, and the concept emphasizes a cool design that appeals to those users—this song fits that image perfectly as well.

It’s a refined track by jazz trumpeter Takuya Kuroda.

The Daihatsu eco-car Mira e:S commercial in which actor Takeshi Ukaji plays three roles.

The unique concept that ties the key points—“low fuel consumption, low price, and safety features”—to The Three Musketeers leaves a strong impression.

The song used in the ad is an original, unreleased composition by the composer.

It blends a classical, majestic atmosphere reminiscent of medieval Europe with a casual feel that matches the friendly image of the Mira e:S.

It somehow seems perfect for a trip to a power spot and feels like it could boost your luck for the day.
