Suzuki commercial songs roundup: The charm of friendly J‑Pop and Western music (41–50)
Monochrome VenusIkeda Satoshi
Monochrome Venus,” which was featured in an Alto commercial, is the debut song by singer-songwriter Satoshi Ikeda.
Thanks to the commercial airing, it became a hit, including a six-week run on the music show The Best Ten.
In 2008, Acid Black Cherry, the solo project of Janne Da Arc’s yasu, released a cover.
It has the vibe of classic Showa-era pop—nostalgic yet sophisticated.
Ikeda’s clear, sultry vocals paired with the song’s shimmer are wonderful.
It’s a poignant love song about trying to fill loneliness with another romance, yet its sound also fits perfectly for a drive.
Oh What a WorldRufus Wainwright
This is the SUZUKI IGNIS commercial titled “No Matter the City in the World,” which aired in 2018.
The IGNIS was selected as a Top 3 finalist for World Urban Car at the 2017 World Car Awards and is said to be one of the cars that suits urban environments best worldwide.
The song used in the commercial is “Oh What A World” by New York–born singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, an homage to the classical masterpiece Boléro.
Its orchestral sound feels urban and matches the image of the IGNIS perfectly.
Highway StarDeep Purple
The song used in the commercial featuring driving scenes of the Wagon R is one of the signature tracks by the English hard rock band Deep Purple.
Its brisk, thumping guitar and exhilarating, fast-paced melody make for an unforgettable arrangement once you’ve heard it.
It was included on their 1972 album Machine Head, which also features another of their signature songs, Smoke on the Water.
Aux Champs-ÉlyséesKimyō Reitarō
The song was composed by Mike Wilsh and Mike Deegan, with lyrics written by Pierre Delanoë.
Many artists have sung the Japanese version.
The version sung by Reitaro Strange was used in a Suzuki Lapin Chocolat commercial.
RokaYusa Mimori
Roka is an album released in 1997 by singer-songwriter Mimori Yusa.
One of its tracks was released as a single and used in a commercial for Alto.
The uniquely compelling mood—driven by a danceable, irregular meter—may reflect local elements incorporated during recording in Ireland.
The title means “filtration,” and the song feels like it “filters” away sad events and painful feelings.
Yusa’s warm, clear voice truly soaks in.
It’s recommended for times when you feel a hole in your heart, or right after the rain has passed.
Take Me Out To The Ball GameFrank Sinatra
Many commercials for the Spacia, a light-height wagon targeted at families, depict scenes of going out together as a family, don’t they? In those ads that portray a fun-filled day, they use a cover of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” made famous by Frank Sinatra.
Compared to the original, it has a much more pop and cheerful feel, and it even features original lyrics, making it the kind of song that lets you imagine a day when you’ve bought this car and are heading out with your family!
GhostbustersRay Parker Jr.
This song, the theme from the 1984 American film Ghostbusters, is probably one that even younger generations who haven’t seen the movie have heard somewhere.
It’s sung by American musician Ray Parker Jr.
The track is used in many different contexts, and it’s also featured in commercials for the Spacia.
With its catchy, fun vibe, it’s a perfect fit for Spacia’s many cheerful, family-oriented ads!
