1992 SUBARU VIVIO Ad (Christmas Ver)

This commercial conveys the excitement of both the event and the act of driving by showing someone behind the wheel of a Subaru VIVIO as they go about their Christmas shopping.

The scene of parking in a tight spot is memorable, highlighting the comfort that only a compact car can offer.

The song that further accentuates the excitement depicted in the footage is CHAGE and ASKA’s “Merry X’mas to the World.” With its gentle, Christmas-evoking sound and vocals, the layered singing also evokes a sense of human connection.

SUBARU OUTBACK 'One & Only' Version

Crosstown TrafficJimi Hendrix

The song that played in the 2009 Legacy Outback commercial “One & Only” was Crosstown Traffic.

It’s a track by the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix—affectionately known as “Jimi Hen”—included on his 1968 album Electric Ladyland and later released as a single.

Its vibe is uniquely playful, as if comparing frustration to a traffic jam.

The use of a kazoo, a mouth-blown instrument, adds a funky touch, while the distorted guitar riffs and rhythmic vocals from Hendrix create an uplifting, feel-good beat.

Roy Orbison’s classic song “Oh, Pretty Woman” was featured in the Impreza commercial.

The song is also famous for being used as the theme for the American blockbuster film Pretty Woman.

It has been covered by various artists, including Van Halen, as well as Japanese performers like Kaela Kimura and MONGOL800.

While the movie featured airplanes as a setting, this upbeat track is perfect for hitting the road and heading off on a trip.

The lyrics depict a man approaching a lovely woman he spots on the street.

Link by Porno Graffitti, featured as the Impreza commercial song from 2007 to 2008.

That guitar riff in the intro is so cool—it gives you chills! Released as a 2007 single, it’s a fan favorite that’s often performed live.

Centered on “love,” the lyrics embrace the unseen and shadowy parts as well.

It resonates with our modern era of growing anxiety, giving us the courage to face things carefully, one by one.

Akihito Okano’s signature rhythmic pop sensibility is fantastic, too! Among Porno Graffitti’s songs, its distinctly positive message really lifts your spirits!
