Makes you want to go for a drive!
Original song
Nissan’s X-TRAIL lets you cruise exhilaratedly from the city to vast natural landscapes.
The song in the “ADVANCED SOLO CAMP” commercial is an original track created for the ad.
It opens with a melody that captures the excitement and anticipation of what lies ahead.
Then, after a brief moment where all the sounds are pulled back, the energy surges to a peak.
Kicking off with flashy drumming, it shifts into a cool, bass-heavy melody that heightens the thrill even more.
It makes you think, “I want to take a drive this fun in an X-TRAIL!”
Monkey MagicGodiego
It’s the song used in the notebook commercial.
It’s “Monkey Magic” by Godiego, famous as the theme song for Masaaki Sakai’s starring TV drama “Saiyūki” (Journey to the West).
The commercial uses an arranged version.
Styled in a Saiyūki-like production, the Sun Wukong-style character is played by Arashi’s Kazunari Ninomiya.
RestartFankī Katō
This song was included on the first single Funky Kato released under his solo name in 2014, and it was featured in a Serena commercial.
The arrangement is characterized by programmed rhythms and crisp synth sounds, paired with his signature uplifting, encouraging lyrics that give the track a refreshing feel.
If you’re facing a setback on your way toward your dreams, listening to this song while reading the lyrics will surely help you restart with a positive mindset!
International Date LineNakamura Masatoshi
It was released in 1985 as Masatoshi Nakamura’s 23rd single.
The lyrics were written by Yū Aku and the music composed by Yukihide Takakawa.
It was used as the theme song for the NTV drama “Pride’s Reward” and as a commercial song for the Nissan Pulsar (late N12 model).
It’s a cool track that showcases Nakamura’s deep, rugged vocals.
Original song
The Serena commercial “Feel the Real Thing” features an original song created just for the ad.
The melody exudes a gritty, alternative-style coolness that feels too good to keep confined to a commercial.
It’s so full of swagger that you can’t help but want to see the band perform it live.
The build-up in the second half makes you want to sing along, and the guitar-only opening has a cool tone that seems to foreshadow the dirtier edge to come, pulling you right into the song’s world from the start.
Can you see it, dream?Nishimura Tomomi
It was released in 1986 as Tomomi Nishimura’s second single.
The song was used for a Nissan Motor campaign commercial and debuted at No.
2 on the Oricon charts.
It comes from the peak of Tomomi Nishimura’s idol era and was created by the sibling duo of Etsuko Kisugi (lyrics) and Takao Kisugi (music).
