Hurry XmasL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This is a commercial in which Kazuyoshi Miura introduces two special-edition models of the Legacy.
Miura appears in a cool suit, holding a bouquet, enhancing the premium feel and sleekness of the special editions.
The CM, brimming with sophisticated adult appeal, features one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature songs, “Hurry Xmas,” as its background music.
The track pairs a catchy, up-tempo melody with scenes of spending Christmas with someone special.
Highly recommended for those looking for a bright, upbeat Christmas song.
Until It SleepsMetallica
This is the song that was used in Toyota’s RAV4 commercial in 1996.
It was, unexpectedly, a Metallica song in a commercial.
And it’s a fairly obscure track, too.
I’m impressed by the taste of whoever chose it.
It’s a track included on Metallica’s sixth album, Load.
Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
Here is a classic song that paints a bittersweet longing for someone you admire from afar.
Told from a delicate male perspective, this unrequited love story resonates deeply with listeners.
Released by back number in June 2013, the track combines a pop sensibility with a wistful melody and emotionally stirring lyrics.
The diary-like words capture feelings for someone out of reach, vividly expressing emotions that many have experienced.
In 2019, it was also featured in a Kirin Brewery “Tanrei Green Label” commercial, winning over an even wider audience.
Anyone who has felt the pangs of love or unrequited affection will surely relate to this song.
It is also known as a piece where you can learn basic guitar chord progressions, making it a popular practice song for those starting out in rock.
fantasyMr.Children
This commercial conveys the comfortable driving experience of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer through the lens of a family.
The way it glides lightly through the forest, along with the smiles of the family during the journey and at their destination, clearly expresses that comfort.
The song that further highlights this bright, smile-filled atmosphere is “fantasy” by Mr.
Children.
With its gentle rhythm, refreshing melody, and soaring vocals in perfect harmony, it’s a beautiful track that evokes positive feelings.
Song 2Blur
This commercial highlights the stability of BMW’s unique four-wheel-drive system, xDrive, through scenes of the car dashing across snowy landscapes.
The fact that it’s moving at high speed on snow clearly conveys its stability.
The music that further emphasizes this powerful, steady performance depicted in the visuals is Blur’s “Song 2.” Its striking, almost-clipping, powerful sound conveys a sense of going all out, and from that full-throttle energy you can feel the will to push forward.
New My NormalMrs. GREEN APPLE
In Mizuho Bank’s commercial introducing a new-account campaign tailored to the start of a new life, “New My Normal” has been featured.
It’s a song by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, presented as the first track of their so-called Phase 2 when they resumed activities in 2022.
While it sings about the frustration of not being able to convey heartfelt words to someone important, its lyrics also carry a message of everyday happiness and of continuing to live authentically.
Many listeners likely felt a sense of reassurance, as if their own selves were being affirmed.

B-Side BluesOfisharu Higedan Dism
“B-Side Blues,” included on the 2024 album “Rejoice,” was featured in Kirin Gogo-no-Kocha commercials, the “Cool-looking Sundial” and “A Slowly Melting Afternoon” versions.
Many of you may remember these ads depicting summertime moments with Ren Meguro and Ayami Nakajo.
The lyrics, which express a resolve not only to cherish the past but also to value the present and future, are likely to strike a chord with people leading busy lives today.
