[Toyota Commercial] Popular CM Songs: Historical Commercial Themes [2026] (81–90)

C-HR “Red Impulse” Edition

C-HR Red Impulse Chapter

Original songaudioforce

The song used in the C-HR “Red Impulse” commercial is an original track by audioforth, a German advertising music company that also produces jingles for Japanese commercials.

Its sound seems to accentuate the metallic red C-HR, with a subtly Latin vibe.

It really feels like it embodies that ‘red impulse’—so cool! It gives the impression that the focus is on conveying the car’s appeal.

This sound, which matches the refined design of the C-HR, also feels like it will complement a personal style you won’t compromise on.

Original songDavid Thorpe

The song that played in the 2018 Crown CROWN BEYOND “DEBUT” commercial is an original piece by David Thorpe, a UK-born multi-instrumentalist based in New Zealand since 2003 who primarily plays the harmonica.

It’s striking for its glittering, exciting sound—reminiscent of gadget BGM—and its grand, expansive style.

Although detailed information seems scarce, the bright sound that evokes a feeling of opening into a world like the commercial’s is wonderful.
