[Mazda] CX-8 “Rich Time with Family” 30-Second TV Commercial

This is a commercial sent out as part of the promotion for Mazda’s flagship SUV, the CX-8, aimed at car-loving families with children.

The tagline conveys the message: “Make both your time alone and your time with family truly special.” The footage is luxurious, showing the MAZDA CX-8 racing through a fantastical European lake district shrouded in deep green and white mist.

It was Mazda’s best-selling vehicle in 2018.

The music is an instrumental whose clear guitar tones perfectly match the dreamlike imagery.

[Commercial] Mazda Be a driver. 2016

A commercial song arranged from Tamio Okuda’s “Kaze wa Nishi Kara.” Okuda’s own version was also used in a Mazda commercial when it was first released.

The piece was arranged by Eager Rush, a Japan-born keyboardist and composer based in the United States.

The lyrics were rendered in English and the melody reworked, resulting in a track that adds a stylish flair to the original’s breezy feel.

The commercial features both female and male vocal versions: the female vocal adds a sprightly lightness, making it feel even fresher, while the male vocal brings a slightly cool edge within that breezy atmosphere.

It might especially resonate with people who love discovering new music.
