A corporate advertisement from Honda featuring a commercial themed around the vehicles they create.

In the CM, people are shown riding cars, motorcycles, boats, and airplanes manufactured by Honda, but the vehicles themselves are transparent, leaving only the riders visible—a striking and mysterious visual.

The background music is “Blue feat.

Maya,” which carries a mystical atmosphere.

The original version sung by Mai Yamane was used as the theme song for the anime Cowboy Bebop, but for this commercial, the vocals are performed by Maya, a high school artist living in the United States.

This is the theme song for “Onna Joshu Naotora,” composed by Yoko Kanno.

“Onna Joshu Naotora” is the 56th Taiga drama, broadcast since January 8, 2017.

It portrays Ii Naotora, the female lord of Ii Valley in Enshu who raised Ii Naomasa, with Kou Shibasaki—making her first appearance in an NHK drama—playing the lead.

The opening theme begins with a brilliant fanfare, as if a party is about to start, followed by a gorgeous melody.
