Summary of Nissan commercial songs: a collection of famous tracks from Japan and abroad, plus CM-original songs

I Fought The LawThe Clash

The Clash – I Fought the Law (Official Video)

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.

Right Here Right NowFatboy Slim

Fatboy Slim – Right Here, Right Now [Official 4K Video]

This is the commercial song for the Skyline V35.

Speaking of the V35, it’s also the first generation where the Skyline and GT-R became completely separate lines.

Fatboy Slim is a techno and house music DJ from Brighton, England, active since 1985.

Even listening now, the sound doesn’t feel dated.

Original song

[Aura] TV commercial “Unleash Myself” 30-second version

The original song used in Nissan’s “AURA e-POWER: ‘Unleash Me’” commercial—also notable for featuring actress Miki Nakatani—has gained attention.

Its arrangement, highlighting clear, airy choral work, aligns with the commercial’s urban yet dreamlike atmosphere.

The exquisite contrast with Miki Nakatani’s narration evokes a sense of luxury.

It’s an emotional original track that heightens viewers’ anticipation.

GET UP AND DANCESuchadarapā

NISSAN JUKE TV Commercial: “Rock ’n’ Small Turbo” Edition

It’s the song used in the Juke commercial.

It’s a track from Scha Dara Parr’s 1994 album “Scha Dara Gaiden.” It might be easier to recognize as the opening theme of Ponkickies from when BOSE appeared on the show.

The commercial used an arranged version.

Are You Gonna Go My WayLenny Kravitz

Lenny Kravitz – Are You Gonna Go My Way (Official Video)

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

It’s one of American rock singer Lenny Kravitz’s signature tracks.

The song has also been used in many commercials in recent years, so you’ve probably had plenty of chances to hear it.

VOICEPerfume

[Official Music Video] Perfume「VOICE」

Perfume’s 11th single “VOICE,” released in 2010.

Unusually for Perfume, there aren’t any solo singing parts.

The lyrics are somewhat philosophical, with interpretations varying depending on the listener.

In the commercial, in contrast to the song’s content, the three members of Perfume appear as cute kangaroos called “Perfume Kangaroo” and do their usual self-introductions.

Then Nissan’s cars—the Serena, Note, and Cube—are introduced in a Perfume-like style.

KICK IT OUTBOOM BOOM SATELLITES

BOOM BOOM SATELLITES　『KICK IT OUT-Full ver.-』

A truly kick-filled tempo and rock ’n’ roll mood make it irresistibly cool! It’s a track from BOOM BOOM SATELLITES—the legendary rock band in Japan’s big beat scene—featured on their 2006 album “ON.” “Kick It Out” is the band’s most heavily licensed song, and it was used in a Nissan commercial for the X-Trail.

The groove of the rhythm section feels great and really amps up the driving vibe!
