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!

SUBARU Impreza Anesis

A New DayPorunogurafiti

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.

This commercial features Stevie Wonder’s song “For Your Love.” The Alto is truly one of the best-selling kei cars, and I’m sure many people have ridden in one.

The Alto celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2019.

In this ad, the relationship of “a parent and child who never change no matter how old they get” is paralleled with “the Alto, which has been by everyone’s side for 40 years,” and the song helps portray the bond between parent and child.

In the new Solio Bandit commercial, the “Billboard” version features Kanna Hashimoto appearing inside a giant street-side billboard, watching the Solio Bandit as it drives through the city.

The car’s eye-catching exterior is showcased so well that you can’t help but want to follow it with your eyes.

The BGM is “Gekko Landing Project” by buzzworthy singer-songwriter tuki., a track from their first full album released in January 2025.

The song’s appeal lies in its empowering lyrics that wholeheartedly affirm a self who is struggling.

Xperia Z5 TV commercial song 'Voices' FULL
VoicesYoshida Takeshi / Tanaka Yuusuke

This commercial highlights the compactness of the Xperia A4, conveying how easily it fits into everyday life through scenes from daily routines.

It mainly portrays Mari Manabe in her role as a housewife, showcasing the convenience of being able to hold the device even while doing other things precisely because it’s compact.

Another interesting point is how the relaxed, everyday visuals overlap with the tense song “Voices,” which has been used as the series’ CM song.

While the track doesn’t quite match the laid-back mood, it still effectively communicates Xperia’s technology and its steps toward the future.
