While it’s crafted with a female audience in mind, the BGM has a crisp, masculine coolness.

Nissan commercial roundup: Cool ads showcasing their technological prowess (51–60)
Nissan: “Unleash Me”
The original song used in Nissan’s “AURA e-POWER: ‘Unleash Me’” commercial—also notable for featuring actress Miki Nakatani—has gained attention.
Its arrangement, highlighting clear, airy choral work, aligns with the commercial’s urban yet dreamlike atmosphere.
The exquisite contrast with Miki Nakatani’s narration evokes a sense of luxury.
It’s an emotional original track that heightens viewers’ anticipation.
Nissan New Skyline “Birth” VersionEikichi Yazawa
The Skyline, a classic Nissan model beloved for generations—and now the new Skyline comes with autonomous driving.
This is Nissan’s Skyline commercial, “The Birth of the New Skyline,” featuring Eikichi Yazawa.
Yazawa coolly experiences the Skyline’s self-driving capabilities.
The BGM that enhances that coolness, as well as the narration, are handled by O-KOOL, who is active as a DJ.
The straightforward, pure narration drew attention, and when the commercial first aired, it sparked conversation: “Whose voice is that?”
Nissan Serena: “Serena e-POWER Takeoff” Version
This is a commercial for the Nissan SERENA e-POWER, showing a cool, free-spirited mom taking dad and the kids to all sorts of places.
The CM features a rock melody with a cool guitar sound that perfectly captures the impression of an active, cool mom.
It’s an original song for the commercial, but it sounds like something you’d want in a full version as a driving companion! It’s not just a cool rock number; it also conveys a sense of fun that lifts the listener’s spirits.
Nissan Elgrand “To the Top” Version
A signature song from Journey, the American rock band, released in 1981 on their hit album Escape, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
Even those who aren’t well-versed in Western music have probably heard it somewhere.
It was used in Nissan Elgrand commercials from 2004 to 2006, and gained popularity with younger generations after it was covered in 2009 on the TV series Glee, which focuses on choral music.
It’s an anthem that cheers on people’s paths and ways of life.
The message “Don’t stop believing” quietly resonates in the heart.
And the melody is beautiful—like a train running with dreams aboard, it’s a wonderful song that makes you feel a ray of hope in many different moments.
Nissan X-Trail “SNOWBOARD” version, “RAFTING” version
The song that was used in the X-Trail commercial.
It’s by The Clash, the British punk band led by Joe Strummer, who went on to have a profound influence on many musicians.
Among The Clash’s catalog, it’s one of their most famous tracks, and even today its driving, striking melody doesn’t feel dated or tied to its era.
On the contrary, it’s precisely now that its simple instrumentation, rhythm, melody, and his vocals really cut through—a timeless punk classic.
It’s a track I’d love for younger generations to hear.
Nissan Teana 2008
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.
