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.
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.
AIMTENDRE
In Daihatsu’s mini van Atrai commercial, “Declaration,” the focus is on enjoying the Atrai as a space for hobbies.
When you think of a kei van, its appeal is often the large cargo capacity, and many people may have a strong image of it as a work vehicle.
However, this commercial showcases examples of using it as a hobby space—like outfitting it for car camping or setting up a desk to use a computer.
It’s a commercial that highlights the appeal of the new kei van, and some viewers may have found themselves glued to the screen.
The BGM is a track by TENDRE, the solo project of Taro Kawahara, a multi-instrumentalist, and it’s included on his first major album, “IMAGINE.” The scatting-like opening and brass sounds are striking, conveying a message of moving forward just as you are.
With its stylish, pleasant vibe as background music, it’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to while driving, camping, and in many other situations!
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.
Trace that dreamYOASOBI
The commercial for the Taft, a kei-class SUV that Daihatsu released in 2020, stands out with its poppy, youth-oriented presentation.
In the 2021 Taft commercial titled “Hearts Take Flight,” they featured up-and-coming actor Kosei Yuki, and for the music, they used a song by YOASOBI, a group popular among younger generations.
Although ‘Tracing That Dream’ was released a year before the commercial aired, it drew a lot of attention as a track by a popular unit.
The chorus used in the ad has a catchy, memorable melody, so many viewers were likely intrigued by the song.
Savage Sun feat. GLIM SPANKYHotei Tomoyasu
This track that played in Daihatsu’s compact SUV Rocky “Door to Another World” commercial comes from Tomoyasu Hotei’s collaboration album “Soul to Soul”—a cool song featuring GLIM SPANKY, purveyors of bluesy next‑gen rock! The guitar call-and-response between Hotei and GLIM SPANKY’s Kamemoto speaks volumes, and Remi Matsuo’s husky, profound vocals are incredibly cool.
It was reportedly recorded remotely, yet the seamless cohesion and groove never give that away and feel wonderfully tight.
SinkDYGL
Formed in 2012 and active in the U.S.
and U.K., the garage rock band Dayglow returned to Japan due to the pandemic, and created “Sink” remotely.
The track was featured in a commercial for the Tanto Custom.
Its band ensemble maintains a tempo that’s relaxed without being too laid-back, and Nobuki Akiyama’s vocals are soothing, enveloping the listener in a gentle mood.
It conveys the charm of small joys—like heading out to your favorite spot on a leisurely day off—and a soft, comforting atmosphere that fits seamlessly into everyday life.
After how many yearsDURDN
A pleasantly groovy bassline that recalls ’80s disco-pop and softly floating, airy vocals make a strong impression.
It’s the kind of song that makes you want to hop in the car and just keep driving.
DURDN is a project by Baku, a singer-songwriter with Korean roots, and tee tea, a producer duo known for providing songs to Korean idol groups and Nogizaka46, as well as their own unit, Himitsu no Nerine.
With its languid, weightless sound that’s sure to be addictive, it’s truly a perfect number for a drive.
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.
JudenKroi
It’s a track that expresses Kroi’s unique worldview and a modern, airy sense of floatiness.
While Kroi plays across various genres, this song pushes a bouncy funk rhythm to the forefront.
Within that funk sound, it also weaves in electronic tones, evoking cutting-edge technology and a near-futuristic feel that aligns with the commercial’s concept.
The lyrics don’t carry a heavy message; instead, you’ll want to enjoy the resonance of the words as part of the sound and their harmony with the groove.
