The song featured in the commercial for Mitsubishi’s flagship minivan, the Delica D:5, is Elephant Kashimashi’s “Winding Road.” With its refreshing melody that’s perfect for a driving song, the track expresses the desire to walk your own path—true to yourself—no matter the road you take.

A hidden gem included on Elekashi’s first album, among the many albums they’ve released.

I’ve been listening to Elekashi since I was in middle school, and my personal number-one favorite song is still this one! It’s a quirky track that comes in with the chorus right from the start, but the melody is something anyone would think is great.

If you haven’t heard it, give it a listen at least once!
