SUBARU LEVORG Commercial “ONEDAY” Version 15 Seconds

If you hear the chorus, you’ll go, “Oh, that song from the commercial!”—GLAY’s “Into the Wild.” This track, which was used in Subaru’s LEVORG “ONEDAY” commercial, likely made many people think for a moment, “Wait, is this really a GLAY song?” The song is included on GLAY’s 25th-anniversary best-of album, “REVIEW II ~BEST OF GLAY~,” released in 2020.

With its somewhat exotic and bewitching melody, it’s a track that represents a new frontier for GLAY.

GLAY / Angel's Share

A GLAY rock tune that delivers a jolt from the very first intro.

It was used in the commercial for the Chevrolet Cruze.

I still remember how stunned I was back then by how cool it was.

The mature romance in TAKURO’s signature style—like blending love with the “angel’s share,” the portion of whiskey that evaporates—is captivating, and TERU’s sexy vocals and the guitars are absolutely top-tier too! So cool! Even though it’s a 2004 track, it still feels fresh after all these years.

YOU MAY DREAM

It’s a song included on GLAY’s fourth major original album, “pure soul,” released in 1998.

Used as the theme for Meiji Seika’s “Chocolate Cookie Horn” commercial, it was crafted as an upbeat, crowd-pleasing track with live performances in mind.

HBA Corporate Commercial: Taking on the Challenge of 'Happiness' through 'IT' — 60-second Version

IT is used in many aspects of our daily lives.

In this commercial as well, various scenes show IT being utilized—delivering video messages, displaying the location of a destination, and more.

But beyond that, watching this commercial makes it clear that IT can bring people closer together and convey warmth.

The CM song features GLAY’s track “Share.” HBA is headquartered in Sapporo, and since GLAY is also from Hokkaido, this collaboration came to be.

Christmas Cake 2024 Early Bird Discount: “Special Cream Strawberry Cake, Size 5”

This is a commercial introducing Seicomart’s 2024 Christmas cakes, produced by the convenience store chain that mainly operates in Hokkaido.

After a series of shots featuring delicious-looking cakes, the ad highlights an early-bird reservation discount.

The background music is by GLAY, a band from Hokkaido, featuring “Eien wo Nanoru Ichibyou” (One Second That Calls Itself Eternity), which has been chosen as Seicomart’s Christmas season commercial song since 2021.

Beginning with lyrics that evoke winter townscapes in Hokkaido, the song portrays the earnest feelings of lovers who care for each other—a winter love song that warms the heart as you listen.

LET ME BEGLAY

I think this can be considered one of GLAY’s hidden gems.

Fans probably know it, but many people outside their fanbase might not.

When you think of GLAY’s music, you might imagine intense, quintessential band sounds, but this song is performed only with piano and is a very beautiful ballad.

GLAY / Yes,Summerdays

GLAY, one of Japan’s leading visual kei rock bands.

This song, their sixth single, was also GLAY’s first commercial tie-in, so many of you may have heard it on TV.

Its appeal lies in the strong rock sound characteristic of GLAY’s early debut era.
