UA – Sand in the Skirt (Official Video)

This commercial featuring UA is for the R2, a kei car.

It shows UA buying a picture book at a bookstore and then reading it with a child by the riverside.

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.

Many Rivers to CrossJimmy Cliff

Jimmy Cliff – Many Rivers To Cross

This is a song by Jimmy Cliff, a reggae singer from Jamaica.

Although it’s a song about his own struggles, the laid-back reggae rhythm and his vocals make it sound like a positive message.

It was used as the theme song for a Legacy commercial.

High-Pressure GirlYamashita Tatsuro

[COVER] High Pressure Girl / Tatsuro Yamashita covered by te'resa

This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 10th single, released in 1983.

In 2015, it was featured as the commercial song for the Impreza SPORT.

With rhythmic percussion layered under a cappella vocals, it’s a track that evokes the feeling of summer.

WALKCHAGE and ASKA

[MV] WALK / CHAGE and ASKA

This is a commercial for the kei car VIVIO that was sold in the 1990s.

In this ad, the VIVIO RX-R—known for its impressive sporty specs, featuring 4WD and a supercharger—is introduced, and it shows the RX-R swiftly overtaking a car driven by a woman.

Surprisingly, the sporty visuals are set to a ballad by CHAGE and ASKA.

Titled “WALK,” the song was originally released under the name Chage & Asuka in 1989, and then re-released under CHAGE and ASKA in 1992, the year the commercial aired.

Reading the lyrics, which express earnest feelings for a beloved woman, might remind you of a passionate romance you once experienced.

Weather Forecast LoverCHAGE and ASKA

Weather Forecast Lover

This is a commercial that conveys the comfort and reassurance of Subaru’s VIVIO, tailored to each person’s preferences.

It unfolds with someone sneaking out of school to go drive the VIVIO, and their expression clearly conveys the excitement of getting behind the wheel.

The song that highlights the refreshing drive depicted in the footage is CHAGE and ASKA’s “Weather Forecast Lover.” Both the sound and the vocals create a bright, expansive atmosphere as if the scenery is opening up, strongly expressing the rising sense of exhilaration.

One Of A KindMICHI

One of a Kind

In this commercial, as Yuri Ebihara shows off stylish moves, Subaru’s DEX appears, highlighting its coolness.

Because the cool vibe is expressed with her entire body, the ad conveys not only the compact DEX’s cuteness but also its strength.

Further emphasizing the cool atmosphere of the visuals is MiChi’s “One Of A Kind.” The guitar tones resonate strikingly, and the slower tempo all the more effectively communicates a sense of power.

The forceful vocals, delivered almost like being thrown at you over the powerful sound, also convey strong confidence.

ecstasyUA

ecstasy

This is an R2 commercial that aired in 2004.

In the first half, we see UA looking out from a balcony; in the second half, she stands with a red R2 against a backdrop of trees in a park.

It’s a simple spot with only UA’s monologue—“I can go anywhere, that’s why I’m here”—and a narration introducing the R2, yet it leaves a strangely memorable impact.

The BGM is her song “Bōga” performed a cappella.

It’s a track with a unique atmosphere that transcends genres, so I recommend listening to the full song.
