[Daihatsu Commercial] Popular CM Songs. Historic CM Songs [2026] (41–50)
Neo-MelodramaticPorunogurafiti
“Neo Melodramatic,” one of Porno Graffitti’s signature songs released in 2005.
The track was used in commercials for the Move Custom that aired frequently in the 2000s.
Since the Move Custom ads targeted young people and often featured popular actors and hit songs by well-known artists, many of you likely remember them well.
In the commercial that used this song, a high-speed car chase with a giant monster is depicted, and the synergy between the visuals and the song’s sense of speed perfectly conveys the stylish and sporty character of the Move Custom.
Radio Calisthenics SongMichael Kaneko
The commercial for Daihatsu’s kei car Taft, released in June 2020, features Michael Kaneko’s cover of “Radio Taiso no Uta” (The Radio Calisthenics Song).
It’s up-tempo and feels much more pop and cheerful than the original, doesn’t it? The Taft that debuted in 2020 is actually the second generation—the first generation was sold back in 1974 as a Jeep-style passenger vehicle! That one had quite a different vibe from the current Taft.
Meanwhile, the new Taft, with its boxy design and the large glass roof above the driver’s seat that hints at the dawn of a new kind of automobile, pairs perfectly with the lyrics of this song!
groove on !Awesome City Club
The song “groove on!”, which started airing in the TAFT commercial at the end of November 2021, is a track written specifically for the ad by Awesome City Club, known for their hit “Wasurena.” The clear, expansive vocals and harmonies of atagi and PORIN are a pleasure to hear, making it a truly groovy tune.
As of this writing, it seems the full audio hasn’t been released yet, but it carries that uniquely Awesome, refreshing sound that feels like it would add a splash of color to an enjoyable everyday life.
I want to touch it. I want to make sure.ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This song, “Furetai Tashikametai” by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, which was used as the theme for the Daihatsu Tanto commercial “A Space Where Families Can Connect.” The track is included on AKG’s double A-side single “Dialogue / Furetai Tashikametai,” released in 2020, and features Moeka Shiotsuka from Hitsujibungaku.
It’s a love song that captures both sides—the exchange of a man and a woman’s feelings—in lyrics that let you understand each perspective, leaving you with a bittersweet feeling.
A very straightforward emotion that pierces the heart.
Sly womanSha ran Q
Sharan Q’s biggest hit, released in 1995.
In Daihatsu’s 2010 commercial “Eco-Car Subsidy ‘Ends,’” a special slow ballad version was used.
The horn arrangement is cool, and the mysterious sound and Tsunku’s sensuality overflow—when I heard it as a kid, it was absolutely shocking.
The way he sings a lonely man’s heart so boldly and funkily still feels fresh today and really sets my heart on fire!
RUNNERbakufū suranpu
An upbeat tune that lifts your spirits from the very first burst of the intro guitar riff.
Originally released in 1988, this classic was self-covered by Bakufu Slump’s vocalist, Sunplaza Nakano-kun, on his 2018 solo album.
It’s also been used in a Move Custom commercial, and listening to “Runner” just makes you want to take off running! The lyrics are beloved as a go-to cheer song, and Sunplaza Nakano-kun’s remarkably impactful vocals give you strength as well.
You can’t help but be moved by the gritty dedication and the image of passing the baton on.
Lullaby of a Serrated HeartIshida Yuriko
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.
