Honda commercial roundup: Charming, approachable presentations from kei cars to wagons (1–10)
HONDA VEZEL “Ultra-Urban VEZEL” Version / “Ultra-Urban VEZEL RS” Version
This is an introduction commercial for the Vezel with the memorable tagline “Born for the city.” In addition to highlighting its interior and exterior features, the ad emphasizes how easy it is to drive in urban areas, including a size that makes parking in city lots simple.
Not only is the Vezel shown with a focus on its stylishness, but the visuals themselves are cool and eye-catching.
It’s also notable that the BGM features Rikon Densetsu’s “First Kiss.” Despite lyrics that portray a bittersweet love that tightens the chest, the combination with an up-tempo, stylish track is captivating.
If you listen while reading the lyrics, you may find parts that resonate with your own experiences.
HONDA Marine “Freedom on the Water” / “Passion for Marine”
This commercial introduces Honda’s initiatives on the water, highlighting the company’s commitment to supporting mobility experiences in every scene.
It depicts a machine equipped with a Honda outboard motor gliding smoothly across the water, and, aided by the effect of the water itself, it conveys in a refreshing way the idea that Honda delivers a strong sense of reliability anywhere.
The music that further accentuates the fresh atmosphere portrayed in the visuals is Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” It comes across as a ballad that unfolds with a gentle ambience, and its softly layered chorus and vocals have a calming effect on the listener.
HONDA FREED – Squeeze it tight! FREED “AIR” version / “Interior Space” version / “CROSSTAR” version

HONDA FREED “CROSSTAR” Version / “AIR” Version

Both are crafted to spark the imagination—“If I had a Freed, I could have experiences like these.” The background music is “familie” by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, a song about love for family and loved ones.
