Mitsubishi Motors Commercial Collection: Introducing ads that convey an active image! (41–50)
Mitsubishi Motors eK Space: “Adults Hooked on CROSS” / “Sister’s Choice” / “Father’s Choice”
The song used in the eK Space commercial featuring Ryoma Takeuchi is Junk Fujiyama’s “Natsu no Kasokudo ~Kiss In My Heart~.” It’s included on the album “Happiness.” Its refreshing, light feel perfectly matches the title “Natsu no Kasokudo” (Summer Acceleration) and really lifts your spirits! The melody also leaves an impression with a vibe that evokes the 1980s, stepping a little away from the present day.
It’s filled with an atmosphere that makes you want to head out for a drive while listening to the track.
And if the person sitting next to you is someone you have feelings for, just like in the lyrics, even better!

Mitsubishi Motors Colt 2002
Narrated as taking emissions reduction seriously, this is a series of Colt commercials that aired in 2003.
The Colt ads at the time featured a cover of “Over the Rainbow,” a song from The Wizard of Oz.
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.
Mitsubishi Motors Colt 2003
In this commercial for the Colt, developed jointly with DaimlerChrysler, the memorable narration says, “Japan and Germany gave it serious thought,” and it proudly highlights the freedom to choose exterior colors and features.
The background music is the classic “Over the Rainbow,” covered by artists worldwide.
For this particular CM, a vocal version by Masayoshi Yamazaki was selected.
His warm voice and the relaxed, swing-like arrangement are wonderful.
Mitsubishi Motors eK X “MI-PILOT” Version
This eK X commercial features actor Ryoma Takeuchi and became a hot topic.
The CM song is Aloe Blacc’s track “Make Way.” Aloe Blacc is also known as the vocalist on Avicii’s signature hit “Wake Me Up,” so many people have probably heard his voice.
The commercial combines live-action and CG to showcase the eK X’s performance, with the music adding a stylish touch.
Mitsubishi Motors Outlander 2007
The timeless classic “Stand By Me.” This song was created by the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who produced many R&B hits.
Soul singer Ben E.
King released it in 1961, and it enjoyed a revival in 1986 when it became the theme song for the film of the same name.
Loved across generations, it has also been widely used in Japan for commercial tie-ins, including a 2007 spot for the Outlander.

King’s vocals, carried by the repeating beat and bass, are richly expressive, evoking a nostalgic mood that somehow also feels reassuring.
It reminds us that friendship and love are timeless in any era.
Mitsubishi Motors Outlander PHEV “Shaping the Times” version
Released in 1997 by the Manchester-born duo The Chemical Brothers.
It’s included on their second album, Dig Your Own Hole, and leaves a powerful impression with its distinctive bassline and tense, driving beat.
Mixing elements of techno, breakbeats, and rock, it’s a defining track of the 1990s music scene known as electronica and big beat.
By the way, the two members of The Chemical Brothers make a brief cameo in the music video, so try to spot them.
