Honda commercial songs: Introducing memorable past CM tunes and trending tracks (21–30)
Power of LoveHuey Lewis & The News
A massive hit by Huey Lewis & the News that was also used in the movie Back to the Future.
Huey Lewis’s husky vocals are wonderfully cool.
Apparently, Huey Lewis even made a cameo appearance in Back to the Future.
It was also used in an Integra commercial, which featured Michael J.
Fox.
Call MeBlondie
A 1980 number by Blondie.
The band’s female vocalist, Debbie Harry, had a very mischievous, coquettish charm, didn’t she? Among Blondie’s tracks, this one is particularly powerful.
The song was used as the commercial theme for Honda’s youth-oriented mini-van, the S-MX.

Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓
Even if you don’t know the exact title or details, chances are you’ve heard it somewhere and feel a sense of nostalgia.
That’s only natural—it’s a classic that’s been used in countless commercials! Centered around key BLUE HEARTS members Hiroto Kōmoto and Masatoshi Mashima, THE HIGH-LOWS formed a rock band whose signature 2004 single this is.
Featured in Honda ads like “Do you have a HONDA?”, the song’s medium-tempo rock sound is undeniably cool, and its calm, nostalgic vibe feels like a perfect match for a drive.
And the lyrics—universal and uplifting.
It’s an evergreen masterpiece that never fades.
Main Theme of “Melody in the Basement”Michel Magne
This commercial powerfully showcases the appeal of Honda’s new Prelude through footage of it driving energetically through the city.
As the phrase “a hybrid of exhilaration and delight” suggests, it conveys that the car is stylish not only in looks but also in performance.
The music that further accentuates the beautiful city-driving visuals is the main theme from the film ‘Mélodie en sous-sol’ by Michel Magne.
The brilliant tone created by overlapping brass is striking, and combined with the gentle rhythm, it conveys an exciting sense that something is about to begin.
GET IT ONThe Power Station
This song was used in a 2005 commercial for the Edix.
It’s not a song by The Power Station; the original is a T.
Rex track released in 1971.
Despite being a cover, it was released in 1985 and became a big hit.
Our life togetherDannie May
This is a collaborative commercial with “Kimi to Ookami-kun ni wa Damasarenai,” introducing Honda CONNECT, which links your smartphone with your car.
The ad showcases convenient Honda CONNECT features like turning on the air conditioner before getting in and opening the tailgate using your smartphone.
The background music is “Futari no Kurashi,” a song released in 2024 by Dannie May.
Its lyrics depict the calm, everyday life of a certain couple, and listening to it gives you a warm, cozy feeling.
Stand By MeBen E. King
Ben E.
King’s 1961 work.
John Lennon’s cover version is famous too.
In the 1980s it became a revival hit through the film “Stand by Me.” In Japan, it’s been used in numerous TV commercials, starting with Honda’s Step WGN ads, so I think it’s a song everyone has heard.
