Nissan commercial songs roundup: A collection of iconic tracks from Japan and abroad, plus original CM songs (11–20)
The Reason We Set Out on a JourneyPenthouse
A refreshing track perfect for a drive that opens with an impressive intro.
It’s a cover by Penthouse—an arranged version of the song originally released by Kenji Ozawa in 1994.
Created in December 2023 for a collaboration video with Nissan’s SUV, the X-Trail, the video—including a live performance inside the car—is available on Nissan’s official YouTube channel.
The song features lyrics that evoke the freedom and joy of travel, paired with an uplifting melody.
Listen to it while driving, and it’s sure to put you in a pleasant mood.
How about bringing it along for a trip with friends, a partner, or family?
melodramanatori & imase
Are you familiar with the slightly longer image commercials that companies create for the web and public relations rather than for TV? They’re all wonderful, like short films.
This Nissan commercial featuring Gordon Maeda and Ai Mikami is another standout.
It’s a documentary-style story that follows two young people as they grow, set against backdrops symbolic of different generations: a drive-in theater, a disco, and a housing complex.
The caption “For unchanging love, in every era” is truly moving.
The background music is “Melodrama” by the trending duo Natori & imase.
Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics, which seem to tie in with the commercial!
Raindrops Keep Falling on my HeadB.J.Thomas
Speaking of the Skyline, it’s a car that debuted in 1957 as one of Nissan’s flagship sports models, and it has captivated countless fans since its introduction—a true classic.
In this commercial aired in 1983, a special Paul Newman edition is featured.
The song used in this special commercial is “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” also known as an insert song from the Western film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Known in Japan by the title “Ame ni Nuretemo,” the song has been covered domestically by many artists, including Akira Fuse, Chieko Baisho, and Masayoshi Yamazaki.
WINDING ROADAyaka × Kobukuro
This song is by the unit formed by Kobukuro and Ayaka, which came together after a joint appearance on a music program.
It was released through the label “CUBE LOVES MUSIC,” established for the Nissan Cube commercial song.
Featuring elements of R&B, the bright, uplifting sound is striking and seems to further highlight each of their voices.
The lyrics sing directly about the hope awaiting on the path ahead, and alongside its driving imagery, it has also become a staple track for wedding BGM.
Friday’s highPenthouse
This commercial showcases the power of the Nissan X-Trail, delivering a strong performance even on rough roads like snowy terrain.
By contrasting a skier with the X-Trail’s drive, it effectively conveys that the vehicle can handle steep slopes that are typically difficult for cars.
The refreshing feel of Penthouse’s “Friday’s High” playing in the background is another highlight, reinforcing the sense that the car can run nimbly without slowing down even on rough surfaces.
Chururiyuzu × matsu takako
This commercial promotes the smooth and powerful performance of Nissan Sakura, a kei car that has gone electric.
It features Takako Matsu driving and speeding along, with scenes of the duo Yuzu reacting in surprise and cherry blossoms swirling into the air, all effectively conveying a sense of speed.
The song used is Chururi by Takako Matsu and Yuzu, whose buoyant rhythm and vocals evoke a refreshing, comfortable driving experience.

Freedomaudioforce
It’s still hard to say that electric vehicles have become commonplace, but will they start spreading rapidly from here on out? In Nissan’s commercial for their electric vehicle, the Leaf, the production features a sci-fi-like presentation that perfectly matches its cutting-edge image.
The background music used in the commercial is electro dance music.
Although the tempo is on the relaxed side, the clearly defined synthesizer sounds and melodies give it a futuristic, urban feel.
