Compilation of Nissan commercial songs: A roundup of iconic domestic and international tracks and CM-original music (21–30)
Sowing The Seeds Of LoveTears for Fears
This is a commercial for the sixth-generation Silvia, which underwent a model change in 1993.
Even though it’s a sports car, the ad conveys a refined and elegant vibe.
The BGM features the stylish “Sowing The Seeds Of Love,” one of Tears for Fears’ signature songs released in 1989, boasting a cool, solid groove characteristic of Western rock.
What A Fool BelievesMatt Bianco
It’s the commercial song for Nissan’s sedan, the Teana.
It’s a cover of The Doobie Brothers, and Matt Bianco is a British group.
With elements of Latin music, the song matches Teana’s refined yet eccentric image very well.

Have You Ever Seen the RainCreedence Clearwater Revival
It’s the song that was used in the Serena commercial.
Its Japanese title is “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”, and it’s by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
I think this song has been used in many commercials besides Serena, and it’s one that everyone has surely heard at least once.
BREAKTHROUGHSIRUP × Cosmo’s Midnight × Shin Sakiura
In 2022, one of the commercial songs that most excited music fans was “BREAKTHROUGH.” It was the CM song for the Kicks e-POWER, a high-energy track that perfectly matched the driving visuals.
The elements of electronic music added a touch of nostalgia and freshness.
The song was created by the electronic duo Cosmo’s Midnight, guitarist Shin Sakiura, and singer SIRUP.
With such a star-studded lineup, it’s no surprise it became a hot topic.
Original song
The Skyline, a classic Nissan model beloved for generations—and now the new Skyline comes with autonomous driving.
This is Nissan’s Skyline commercial, “The Birth of the New Skyline,” featuring Eikichi Yazawa.
Yazawa coolly experiences the Skyline’s self-driving capabilities.
The BGM that enhances that coolness, as well as the narration, are handled by O-KOOL, who is active as a DJ.
The straightforward, pure narration drew attention, and when the commercial first aired, it sparked conversation: “Whose voice is that?”
I Fought The LawThe Clash
The song that was used in the X-Trail commercial.
It’s by The Clash, the British punk band led by Joe Strummer, who went on to have a profound influence on many musicians.
Among The Clash’s catalog, it’s one of their most famous tracks, and even today its driving, striking melody doesn’t feel dated or tied to its era.
On the contrary, it’s precisely now that its simple instrumentation, rhythm, melody, and his vocals really cut through—a timeless punk classic.
It’s a track I’d love for younger generations to hear.
Mazinger Z: Infinity Theatrical Movie SoundtrackWatanabe Toshiyuki
This commercial is a collaboration between the feature film Mazinger Z: INFINITY and Nissan’s LEAF.
The character Koji Kabuto from Mazinger Z also appears in the ad.
The music playing in the background is the Mazinger Z soundtrack.
Its bold orchestral sound captures the excitement and thrill of a super robot launching! The contrast between Koji Kabuto, who fumbles the controls, and the fail-proof LEAF is amplified by the background music, further highlighting the car’s impressive performance.
It’s the kind of track you’ll want to play right as you set off for a drive to get yourself pumped up!
