FreeFumitake Igarashi
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.
SING YOUR SONGTHE BAWDIES
The song used in the Delica D:5 Clean Diesel commercial is THE BAWDIES’ “SING YOUR SONG.” Featured on the album “1-2-3,” it’s a distinctively cool, Western-influenced track that’s very much in THE BAWDIES’ style.
Highly recommended as a driving song! You can just picture the car zipping along.
The lyrics carry a message encouraging you to sing and live a joyful life.
Singing this song while riding in a Delica D:5 will make you feel like you could drive anywhere!
O crimson sky!Elefanto Kashimashi
This is a commercial for the Delica D:5, promoted as a vehicle for families.
It imagines what the children will be like ten years from now, and it makes you think, “What a wonderful family.” The CM song is “Akaki Sora yo!” by the rock band The Elephant Kashimashi, included as a coupling track on their 2010 single “Shiawase yo, Kono Yubi ni Tomare.” The vocals are unbelievably cool.

Original songFumitake Igarashi
In the Delica D:5 commercial “With a Delica, You’ll Find It,” an original song that matches the ad’s world is used.
In the first half, during the scene of a family heading to a campsite, the melody is subdued to highlight the narration.
When the camping starts and the activities are shown, humming begins and the music swells.
In the scene on the way home, the volume gradually decreases.
Throughout, it conveys the excitement of going camping.
Original song
The Outlander PHEV commercial “Freedom of Electric” conveys the liberating feeling of not having to worry about the road, showing how comfortably it can drive on mud and gravel.
The ad features an original track with memorable humming.
It begins with a quiet sound, and as the car starts tackling rough terrain, the melody builds accordingly.
In the end, the melody shifts to a brisk, staccato humming that creates a sense of speed.
