Shonen

Kuroyume’s “Shōnen,” which was used in the commercial for the Move Aero Down Custom.

If you’re from that generation, many of you probably recall the ad when you hear this song.

Released in 1997, it was Kuroyume’s seventh single.

While Kuroyume had a visual-kei image from their indie days through their early major-label period, by this time their vibe had completely changed, and both their look and sound had become more punkish.

The music video for this track is really cool, too.

Percy Faith – Theme From A Summer Place

Born in Toronto, Canada, in 1908, composer, conductor, and producer Percy Faith originally aspired to be a pianist, but he had to give up that path after suffering burns to his hands.

His music was used in Daihatsu’s “300 Million Giveaway Test-Drive Campaign.”

MAMBO No 5 – PEREZ PRADO

It is a piece composed and released in 1949 by Cuba’s Pérez Prado and is one of the best-known instrumental tracks of the mambo genre.

In Japan, it is included in the fifth-grade music textbook published by Kyoiku Geijutsu-sha.

An original arrangement of the piece was used in a commercial for Daihatsu’s “Daishohatsu Yume Fair.”

BoleroJoseph-Maurice Ravel

Maurice Ravel – Bolero

Speaking of the Tanto, it’s a model that has enjoyed strong popularity among all kei cars from every manufacturer for many years.

Among them, the Tanto Custom series—with its more stylish exterior—has earned strong support from younger generations.

The commercial for the Tanto Custom that aired in October 2020 features a hip-hop arrangement of the classical masterpiece Boléro.

Not only does the music convey a cool and sophisticated image, but the commercial was also filmed at the Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, so both the music and visuals overflow with coolness.
