It highlights that the car is perfect for everyday use like shopping, as well as for short outings.
The BGM in this commercial is “Suna on the Skirt,” sung by UA.
With its steelpan sound and tropical vibe, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to sway along.

It portrays two pairs—Manami Enosawa with Kei Hojo, and NICO with Kota Okada—planning winter outings, highlighting how warm clothing leads to enjoyable winter moments.
The song that further accentuates the casually happy everyday life depicted in the visuals is Koyuki Ura’s “Long Long Highway.” The energetic band sound layered with vocals that verge on nonchalant evokes an image of moving forward while staying relaxed.
LIFELittle Glee Monster43rank/position
In the commercial “Hibikiau Mirai” by NTT DATA Tohoku Corporation, Little Glee Monster’s “LIFE” is playing.
This song is a cheer anthem released in 2025.
Its appeal lies in its positive, gently encouraging lyrics set to a slightly calm, mid-tempo track.
Megurehaoto44rank/position
This is a song by Haoto themed around cycles.
It was created as the corporate theme song for NTT East and was also featured in the commercial “Next Innovation: Agri.” The lyrics depict a person’s tears flowing down a river to the sea, becoming clouds, then falling upon the mountains—a journey that travels farther and farther while endlessly circling back.
The words are crafted to resonate with NTT East’s purpose of co-creating a regionally circular society.
It’s a beautiful ballad that lets you fully savor Haoto’s warm, resonant vocals.
What’s New?Dara Sedaka45rank/position
In 1996, when DVDs first appeared, a Panasonic commercial featured Hank Jones performing “What’s New?” composed by Bob Haggart.
The commercial also included Dara Sedaka, who showcased her beautiful singing voice.
This song has been covered by numerous musicians over the years, with well-known versions by Linda Ronstadt, Helen Merrill, and John Coltrane.
Just The Way You AreBruno Mars46rank/position
“Just the Way You Are,” the smash hit by Grammy-winning R&B singer Bruno Mars from Hawaii, was used as the theme song for a Mitsui Fudosan Realty commercial.
As its title suggests, the song is a love ballad that sings of unconditional love: “I love you just the way you are.”
Bohemian RhapsodyQueen47rank/position
Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a song included on the 1975 album A Night at the Opera.
Its innovative song structure and the content of its music video drew widespread attention and had a major impact on the music industry.
Because the song features a variety of developments, the impression it gives can change greatly depending on which part you focus on—an interesting aspect of the piece.
The section used in Toyota’s Pronard commercial was the soaring, triumphant-sounding part, which conveyed beauty when paired with footage of a car racing through a sunset.
Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen48rank/position
Carley Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” has been used as the song in various commercials, including au’s iPhone ads and Kao’s detergent Humming.
Sung in a fresh and cute voice about the fluttering feelings of a girl the moment she falls in love, the track became a huge hit.
ThunderstruckAC/DC49rank/position
This is the song used in au’s iPhone commercial.
It’s a 1990 track by AC/DC, the world-famous band led by the Young brothers, Angus and Malcolm, from Australia—a land not exactly known for rock.
Angus Young’s introductory riff is insanely cool.
Every Breath You TakeThe Police50rank/position
A song by The Police, a British rock band that was active from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, known for their innovative musical style that blended rock with reggae elements.
Although the song was reportedly written “in 30 minutes while sitting at the piano,” it has amassed over 15 million radio plays.
It has also been featured in numerous commercials in Japan, so many of you may already be familiar with it.
Its repeated, striking guitar riff and crystalline vocals offer a distinctly British atmosphere not typically found in J-pop.
