Mitsubishi Motors eK Custom “Cool eK: Western” version

Nice commercial: Mitsubishi eK Custom, Takeru Satoh — “Cool eK” version / “Cool eK Western” version

When it comes to kei cars produced by Mitsubishi, the eK series comes to mind.

Among these easy-to-drive kei cars, the eK Custom is the one that pursues a cooler, more stylish look.

With the keyword “Kakko-eK,” the commercial features Takeru Sato dressed sharply in a suit showing off his dance moves—resulting in a very cool ad! The song used in the CM perfectly matches the image the manufacturer wants to promote for the car: it’s also cool and sophisticated.

It seems to be an original track written specifically for the commercial, and the crisp, sharp guitar sound is fantastic, isn’t it?

Mitsubishi Motors Delica D:5 “Strong Bonds” Version

The song featured in the commercial for Mitsubishi’s flagship minivan, the Delica D:5, is Elephant Kashimashi’s “Winding Road.” With its refreshing melody that’s perfect for a driving song, the track expresses the desire to walk your own path—true to yourself—no matter the road you take.

The title “Winding Road” literally means a road full of curves.

Even if the path you envision twists and turns, it’s okay as long as you carry the experience and knowledge you’ve gained, and above all, the fighting spirit that overflows within you.

It’s a song that makes you feel that way—a track that gives you the courage to face tomorrow.

The song used in this Delica D:5 commercial is “Free” by Fumitake Igarashi, who has worked on numerous commercial tracks.

The concept of the ad is that a salaryman who usually does a stiff, formal job goes on an adventure in the mountains on his day off, driving a Delica D:5.

The music enhances the coolness and fun of the visuals.

Just watching it probably makes a lot of people want to hop in a car and head out on a weekend trip themselves.

In the commercial introduced here, a cover version by Chitose Hajime is used.

Her folk-like vocal inflections are striking, resulting in a lovely arrangement that, despite being a foreign song, conveys a distinctly Japanese atmosphere.
