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 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.

This is the song that was used in the Serena commercial.

It’s a signature late-period track by New Order, a band from Manchester that represents the new wave genre.

There’s a Japanese-language version of this song, and there’s an anecdote that when they came to Japan for Fuji Rock, they performed it and the whole venue sang along.
