1994 Subaru Vivio Cm Japan

This is a 1994 commercial for Subaru’s kei car, the VIVIO.

The purple body color—something you’d hardly believe was a factory option and unimaginable today—is super cute and catchy, isn’t it? The VIVIO has a sporty image and enjoys lasting popularity among car enthusiasts, but this ad highlights its compact size, nimble handling, and generous cargo capacity.

For the background music, they again used a song by CHAGE and ASKA, as in past VIVIO commercials.

It’s a track carrying a message to children, with a near–a cappella arrangement that’s both beautiful and powerful.

1992 SUBARU VIVIO Ad

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.

SUBARU VIVIO

Weather Forecast LoverCHAGE and ASKA

Subaru Vivio Commercial Subaru Vivio Ad #1

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.

SUBARU Stella R2

ecstasyUA

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.

SUBARU Impreza Anesis

A New DayPorunogurafiti

2009 commercial: Subaru Impreza Anesis

This commercial conveys a sense of comfortable, exhilarating driving through the image of Satoshi Tsumabuki behind the wheel of an Impreza.

It unfolds with a moment in everyday life—a casual curve—that brings to mind the hairpin turn in Monaco, and his expressions clearly communicate the excitement.

Further accentuating the refreshing atmosphere of the car speeding through is Porno Graffitti’s “A New Day.” The band’s signature powerful yet invigorating sound, together with the light, airy vocals layered on top, expresses a genuine sense of exhilaration.

As the title suggests, it’s a song that seems to capture the thrill of moving toward a new day.

SUBARU Leone

Subaru The New Leone TV commercial 1980 Hiromi Iwasaki

This commercial shows Hiromi Iwasaki driving Subaru’s new Leone, conveying its various onboard features and smooth, comfortable ride.

The closing line, “I love it because it’s gentle,” also underscores the Leone’s sense of security.

The song used to enhance the ad’s refreshing atmosphere is Iwasaki’s “Joyu” (“Actress”).

Its sound is striking for blending calmness with a light touch, and the percussion timbres add a sense of passion.

The lyrics, which portray the life of an actress, evoke an image of strength.

The track featured in the LEVORG “Evolution of Driving” segment is a song from Kenji Furuya’s first solo album in about three years, THE PENDULUM.

In the music video, he is depicted singing amidst majestic natural scenery.

You’ll be drawn in by the delicate lyrics and melody—something not often seen in Dragon Ash.
