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.

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.

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.

This commercial looks back on the cars Daihatsu has released so far through animation, conveying how they have supported people’s lives.

A key point is the focus on compact cars, which highlights the company’s commitment to usability.

Enhancing the cheerful atmosphere of the visuals even more is a parody of Jitterin’ Jinn’s song “Present.” While keeping the original’s light, breezy sound, the lyrics describe how Daihatsu’s cars have supported everyday life.

Daihatsu Tanto Custom: “Tanto Custom that captivates on the street corner”

"TANTO CUSTOM" TV commercial: "Tanto Custom that captivates on the street corner"

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.

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.

“Song of the Ancients” is featured as an insert song in the film Belle, which also made waves for its collaboration with millennium parade on “U.” Sung by Kaho Nakamura, who voices the in-film songstress Belle, it’s a piece that resonates deeply—even in its stripped-down piano-and-vocal version.

It was also used in Daihatsu’s Move Canbus “Scenery I Want to Drive Through” commercial.

Its ethereal melody intertwines with lyrics that convey urgent longing, enveloping you in a sense of brisk momentum and clarity, as if you’re about to take off.

It makes you want to cut straight through vast natural landscapes.

The “power of song” can, at times, change a life.

Just as our predecessors poured their wishes into music, this track, too, embodies the strength of “a future that music guides and opens.”
