HONDA S-MX

Call MeBlondie

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.

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.

[PRELUDE] TV commercial (Web version) “A Hybrid of Exhilaration and Pleasure” – 30 seconds

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.

It’s a single packed with powerful tracks on both sides.

The music video for LOSER features Yonezu’s first attempt at a dance-centered performance.

It’s wonderful how he keeps challenging himself in so many ways.
