A compilation of Nissan commercials: cool ads that showcase their technological prowess.

In recent years, when it comes to Nissan, their commercials often highlight self-driving technology under the slogan “Nissan Intelligent Mobility.”

As you can see in the vehicles’ exteriors as well, many of their ads are stylish and cool.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of Nissan car commercials all at once.

The spotlight often falls on the featured performers and the background music, and we’ll share that information as well.

We’ve gathered a large selection of both new and old commercials, so please take this opportunity to check them out.

Nissan commercial roundup: Cool ads showcasing their technological prowess (71–80)

Nissan Days: ‘A New Kei Car for a New Japan’ (Version)

[New Days] TV commercial 'A New Kei for a New Japan' Reiwa Edition – 30 seconds

A kei car packed with advanced technology—will it become the new standard for a new era? The commercial features an original track as background music that gives a smart, sophisticated impression.

At the time, the new era name “Reiwa” had just been announced, and Nissan quickly produced a commercial with a forward-looking, new-era theme.

Because it’s an original commercial song, the performing artist hasn’t been disclosed, but the track is a perfect, cool match for the car’s image!

Nissan Note e-Power “Girlfriend” Version

[Nissan Note Commercial] - Japan Edition 2019 (2)

A Nissan NOTE e-Power commercial shows a girl who forgot something borrowing her boyfriend’s car to go pick it up.

The ad features stylish, Western-style music—but it’s actually an original song made just for the commercial.

A fresh, uplifting melody plays, perfectly matching the visuals of the car delivering a pleasant drive as it zips breezily along the coast and through the mountains.

The song even conveys how comfortable and light the ride feels, making it easy for women to drive as well.

Hearing how the track begins and ends within the CM really makes you curious about how the parts before and after unfold!

Nissan GT-R “GT-R × Yazawa” version

[CM] Nissan “Go for it, NISSAN” 2016 Eikichi Yazawa

You can’t help but have your attention drawn to the sound design that matches a soundscape unobtrusive to the narration, and the way the story accelerates right at the moments where the direction ramps up.

The video precisely captures Nissan’s cool, cutting-edge technology.

This track is a perfect match between audioforce—the globally active creative team behind countless commercial songs, known for their sophisticated music—and the narration by Eikichi Yazawa, the king of Japan’s rock scene.

Nissan commercial roundup: Cool ads showcasing their technological prowess (81–90)

Nissan Serena “Traffic Jam × Yazawa” VersionEikichi Yazawa

[Eikichi Yazawa, E-chan] Serena “Traffic Jam × Yazawa” Version

The song in this cool and gritty commercial featuring Eikichi Yazawa is a rock number composed by the audioforce team.

Its dramatic progression, like an insert song in a film, is really cool, and despite its short length, it’s packed with ideas—from the distorted vocals to the guitar.

And Eikichi’s final line at the end is awesome, too.

At a Nissan dealership! Campaign TV commercial: “Perfume Kangaroo” edition

Perfume – At Nissan stores! Campaign CM “Perfume Kangaroo” version

Perfume’s 11th single “VOICE,” released in 2010.

Unusually for Perfume, there aren’t any solo singing parts.

The lyrics are somewhat philosophical, with interpretations varying depending on the listener.

In the commercial, in contrast to the song’s content, the three members of Perfume appear as cute kangaroos called “Perfume Kangaroo” and do their usual self-introductions.

Then Nissan’s cars—the Serena, Note, and Cube—are introduced in a Perfume-like style.

Nissan Teana 2008

2008 Nissan Teana CM

In the 2008 Teana commercial, Etsushi Toyokawa talks about the hospitality at the inn where he is staying, highlighting that the same spirit of hospitality resides in the Teana as well.

The imagery, imbued with a traditional Japanese atmosphere, is beautiful and gives a comforting sense of calm.

Perfectly matching the mood of the commercial is the BGM: Asako Toki’s rendition of “Waltz for Debby.” It’s a cover of Bill Evans’s 1956 piece, and its gently serene feel pairs wonderfully with Toki’s beautiful vocals.

Nissan Elgrand 2001

2001 Commercial: Nissan Elgrand Memorial Selection

This is the song that was used in the Elgrand commercial—or rather, it’s quicker to say it’s the theme song from the movie Armageddon.

It’s a signature track by Aerosmith, who have reigned for years at the pinnacle of American hard rock.

The grandeur of the song fits perfectly with both Armageddon and the Elgrand.
