I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

From kei cars to compact cars and family-friendly minivans, Nissan offers a wide range of models.

In their commercials, background music is chosen to match the image of each vehicle.

In the past, original songs created exclusively for commercials stood out, but lately there’s been a resurgence in the use of tie-in tracks.

In this article, we’ll introduce all the songs that have been used in Nissan’s commercials so far!

There are plenty of wonderful original tracks as well as tie-in songs, so be sure to listen closely and enjoy them.

My First Kissgagaga supi

This is the song used in the Serena commercial.

It’s a 2006 track by Gagaga SP, led by Kozak Maeda.

It’s Gagaga SP’s cover of Hi-Standard’s “My First Kiss,” which itself is a cover of the Kiteretsu Daihyakka ending theme “Hajimete no Chu.” The arrangement, full of that unpretentious, raw, youthful vibe so characteristic of Gagaga SP, really hits home.

I Don’t Want To Miss A ThingAerosmith

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.
