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.

The Noah commercial song.

It’s a hit by Kyu Sakamoto, a multitalented star who epitomized the Showa era, originally released as the theme song for a TV drama in which he starred.

The actors’ chuckle-worthy appearances in the commercial pair perfectly with the carefree melody.

It’s an ideal track for a laid-back drive with close friends.
