Last updated:

A commercial from Mazda, the domestic automaker known for the “Zoom-Zoom” tagline.

In this article, we’ll put together a roundup of Mazda’s commercial songs, which often spark the question, “Whose song is that?” While many Mazda ads feature original tracks written specifically for the commercials, there are also plenty of existing songs used as tie-ins—so we’ll cover those too! From the classic tune everyone associates with “Mazda commercials” to the catchy tracks you’ve probably heard more recently, we’ve picked a wide range.

Take a look!

[Mazda Commercial] Popular Commercial Songs: A History of Mazda CM Tracks [2026] (1–10)

MAZDA CX-30 “New Arrival” Version

Original songRAY

[Mazda CX-30 Commercial] — Japan Edition 2019
Original songRAY

Promoted as a “just-right-sized SUV” with the message “It feels good to be true to myself right now,” the newly added Mazda CX-30 joins the lineup.

Despite its imposing body, it looks nimble and easy to handle, and its exterior strikes an impressive balance between luxury and sportiness.

The music that sets the tone for this beautifully running car is by a mysterious male singer named Ray.

It’s a very catchy track that blends EDM and rock.

“Does he sound like someone?” It’s just a single phrase, but many people probably felt that way.

Who did he remind you of?

Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um

Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um(Lyrics +Translation)
Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um

When it comes to Mazda commercials, it has to be this song, right? Various covers of this track have been used in Mazda ads over the years.

The original song is titled “Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um,” and it’s actually about capoeira.

The original has a much more relaxed tempo than the version used in the commercials.

Also, in the ads it’s sung as “Zoom Zoom Zoom,” so there are a few differences from the original.

The sound and rhythm are so catchy you can’t help but hum along!

MAZDA CX-8 “Debut” Version

Original songFujii Yoshihiro

"'MAZDA CX-8 Debut' version, 30 seconds, from December 2017"
Original songFujii Yoshihiro

The Mazda CX-8 commercial song features a modern, stylish melody that feels perfect for elevating any drive.

The track was created by Yoshihiro Fujii of Backslash, a team known for producing original music for commercials.

It pairs perfectly with the image of a sleek car gliding gracefully along—something you wouldn’t expect from such a spacious interior.

The melody, which doesn’t fit neatly into any single genre and carries a sense of freshness, can ultimately be summed up as simply “cool.” It’s a track you’ll want to play as a sophisticated driving song.

Mazda is an automaker headquartered in Hiroshima Prefecture, and Tamio Okuda is also a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima, right? This song was specially written by Tamio Okuda—connected to Hiroshima—for a Mazda commercial.

It has that signature, pleasantly laid-back Tamio Okuda vibe and uplifting lyrics that feel incredibly comfortable and even refreshing.

The music video features Mazda’s sports car, the Roadster (MX-5), and tells the story of a crash-test dummy preparing for a collision test.

MAZDA Familia

My SharonaThe Knack

Despite enjoying immense popularity—such as their debut album spending six consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard charts—the British rock band The Knack has been on hiatus since 2010 following the death of a member.

Their debut single “My Sharona,” which was used in a Familia commercial in the mid-1990s, is still heard in many contexts today, including on the variety show ‘Ame Talk!’ Its catchy riff and vocal harmonies continue to influence musicians around the world across generations.

It’s a classic in rock history with an unforgettable impact after just one listen.

Mazda3

It’s a song included on MONKEY MAJIK’s studio album “Sora wa Marude,” released in July 2007, and it was used as the commercial song for the Mazda3 in Taiwan.

It has also been featured in commercials for Selco Home and Japan Airlines.

MAZDA MPV

Since their formation in 1974, Southern All Stars—a five-piece rock band that has produced countless classics and continually maintained a style no one else can imitate—have remained a defining presence.

Their 16th single, “Ya Ya (Ano Jidai o Wasurenai),” which was included in high school music textbooks in 1995, featured a version arranged specifically for use in an MPV commercial.

The intro’s ensemble—where a clear, shimmering guitar arpeggio is layered with piano and strings—heightens the song’s sense of poignancy.

It’s a soothing ballad whose distinctive, emotional vocals by Keisuke Kuwata resonate deeply with the listener.
