Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports.

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.

It’s the song that was used in the Elgrand commercial.

It’s a track by the American hard rock band Van Halen, led by the Van Halen brothers, Eddie and Alex.

While it’s relatively minor among their songs, which are very popular in Japan, hearing it again in the commercial makes you realize all over again how cool it is, doesn’t it?
