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 X-TRAIL “New X-TRAIL Complete: VAMPS” Version

THE JOLLY ROGERVAMPS

This commercial features powerful footage of a snowboarder gliding smoothly down a snowy mountain and an X-TRAIL tearing down snowy roads without hesitation.

It’s exactly the kind of spot you’d expect from the X-TRAIL, a favorite among fans of X sports like snowboarding and outdoor activities.

And the track that elevates this cool footage? That familiar voice you’re hearing is Hyde! It’s a piece from VAMPS, the unit he performs with outside of L’Arc~en~Ciel.

The bold visuals pair perfectly with his sultry, wild vocals, making for a brilliantly matched commercial.

Original song

The Days commercial “Shall we go even further?” featuring Sayaka Yamaguchi uses an original song made just for the ad.

It’s an upbeat, feel-good tune that makes you feel like you’re enjoying a road trip.

It even has a pop vibe that brings to mind Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” and it’s sure to make your drive brighter and more fun! It’s so well-crafted that it feels almost wasteful for it to exist only in the commercial—you’ll want to hear more and let it lift your spirits even higher.

In a corporate commercial aired in 1999, Bette Midler’s rendition of “La Vie En Rose” was featured.

The song was originally released by Édith Piaf in 1946, and this version is a cover recorded in 1977.

The gentle accompaniment and Bette Midler’s sweet, tender vocals are striking, and from beginning to end you can’t help but be entranced by her voice.

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