Original songaudioforce

[Eikichi Yazawa, E-chan] Serena “Traffic Jam × Yazawa” Version

The song in this cool and gritty commercial featuring Eikichi Yazawa is a rock number composed by the audioforce team.

Its dramatic progression, like an insert song in a film, is really cool, and despite its short length, it’s packed with ideas—from the distorted vocals to the guitar.

And Eikichi’s final line at the end is awesome, too.

Nissan “Nissan 90th Anniversary Commemorative Movie” Version

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!

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.
