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!
