A roundup of songs from Suzuki commercials: the appeal of friendly J-pop and Western music

Speaking of Suzuki, in addition to popular kei cars like the Spacia, Hustler, and Alto, the lineup is known for being approachable, with models like the Solio—a compact family car that’s also very popular.

Even when you’re watching TV, you often see commercials for these hit models, right?

In this article, we’ll introduce the songs that have been used in commercials for Suzuki’s popular models.

Suzuki’s commercials feature not only popular J-pop, but also many covers of classic hits, and a lot of them are really catchy in their presentation.

More recently, there’s also been an increase in original songs made specifically for the commercials.

All of the songs tend to stick in your head, so you might find yourself thinking, “What’s that song called?”

There are plenty of classics you may have heard even if you didn’t know their names!

Everyday Reni-chanTakagi Reni

A solo song by Reni Takagi, a member of Momoiro Clover Z, who’s been very active in Suzuki’s commercials.

Reni Takagi herself appears in the ad, showcasing the capabilities of the Every Van.

Overall, the commercial leaves the impression of a wonderfully fresh smile from Reni Takagi, and the song’s energetic, cheerful vibe fits perfectly! The jacket Reni wears in the ad—and even the color of the on-screen text—is unified in purple, her image color.

SUZUKI Alto

Yoshinori Aoki, who was the drummer of BLUE BOY, has been active as a solo artist under the name HARCO since 1997, and “Sekai de Ichiban Ganbatteiru Kimi ni” was released in November 2005.

His gentle singing voice is a hallmark.

The song was used in a Suzuki Alto commercial.

SUZUKI Alto Lapin

“Lovely,” which was used as the theme song for the Alto Lapin commercial in 2016.

It’s a cover of Kenji Ozawa’s classic by Michelle143, a Tokyo-born singer-songwriter who made her major debut in 2002.

Once you hear this song, you’ll want to hum along.

While preserving the dreamy, pop vibe of the original, it has been finished with an even lighter and more glamorous touch.

It also matches the cute image of the Lapin.

As a car commercial tie-in, it fits perfectly for driving, and it lifts your mood as a song for short outings or walks!

SUZUKI Alto “Our neighbor bought one too” version

Original songsawada kaori

The commercial for the Alto kei car featuring Alto-chan played by Koko Flora and Haru uses light, friendly music with a memorable, poppy brass sound.

It’s a perfect match for the ad, which highlights the car’s cute silhouette, color scheme, and ease of driving.

The song is an original piece written specifically for the commercial, and the lyrics repeat “Alto” many times, making it irresistibly catchy.

It’s the kind of approachable track you’d expect from a Suzuki commercial.

SUZUKI Chevrolet MW

“Purple Line,” which was featured as the theme song for the Chevrolet MW commercial, is the Japan-release single by TVXQ, the leading Asian boy group who now perform as a duo.

Released in 2008, it’s also memorable for fans as the song that marked their first appearance on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a message song about forging ahead with determination on an unknown path that no one has walked before, staying true to yourself.

Perfect for when you want to move toward your ideal future.

SUZUKI Solio “FLOWER” Version

The song “Chapter01” by Hitomi Yaida is featured in the Solio commercial, “FLOWER.” Released in 2004 as a double A-side single along with “Marble-iro no Hi,” it pairs Yaida’s refreshing, uplifting melody with her pleasant, soaring high notes.

The lyrics depict a date between lovers, making it a perfect in-car BGM for couples heading out on a drive.

Why not enjoy a lovely date together with this song playing?

Suzuki Cervo Mode

A Love Song I Couldn’t SingOda Yūji

Yuji Oda, an actor who also has a long career as a singer, released his third single, “Utaenakatta Love Song,” in 1991.

It became his biggest hit, selling over 570,000 copies.

The song was also used in a commercial for the Cervo Mode, in which Oda himself appeared.

Its distinctly ’90s pop sheen, vivid sound, and catchy melody are wonderful, and it’s a song that really makes you want to sing along—very much in Oda’s style.

The lyrics, which seem to depict the last moments of student life before graduation and what comes after, wrap you in a nostalgic feeling and give you a boost to keep going.

I feel that Oda’s vocal—imbued with a touch of melancholy yet carrying a bright atmosphere—further enhances the song’s appeal.
