DREAMS COME TRUE – “Nando Demo”

This piece looks back on Honda’s 75-year history and portrays its ongoing drive to keep evolving as it heads toward its 100th anniversary.

It begins with old black-and-white footage and shows many researchers and workers thinking about the people who will use their products and repeatedly experimenting.

The commercial features “Nando Demo,” released in 2005 by DREAMS COME TRUE.

It’s a fitting choice that matches Honda’s refusal to give up and its spirit of taking on challenges again and again, even when things don’t go well.
