Bad ReputationPoppy Ajudha
This is a commercial for Jack Daniel’s, a classic whiskey, and many viewers may find themselves moved by the message that appears in the latter half.
The background music is “Bad Reputation,” released by Joan Jett in 1981.
The song was once covered by Avril Lavigne, and for this commercial, the version sung by British singer-songwriter Poppy Ajudha is used.
Bohemian RhapsodyQueen
Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a song included on the 1975 album A Night at the Opera.
Its innovative song structure and the content of its music video drew widespread attention and had a major impact on the music industry.
Because the song features a variety of developments, the impression it gives can change greatly depending on which part you focus on—an interesting aspect of the piece.
The section used in Toyota’s Pronard commercial was the soaring, triumphant-sounding part, which conveyed beauty when paired with footage of a car racing through a sunset.
GuerrillaRemi Wolf
This cleverly sarcastic, quintessentially international-style commercial is for Google’s smartphone, the Pixel.
It’s structured as a conversation between the rival devices—the iPhone and the Pixel—in which the Pixel’s advantages over the iPhone are revealed one after another.
In the latter half of the ad, a phrase from the song “Guerrilla” by San plays.
The snippet used in the commercial gives off a cool vibe, but if you listen to the whole track, you’ll be captivated by its catchiness and bright, fun atmosphere.
Dream BigRüü + Oliwa
The new Apple 15-inch MacBook Air, making waves with its stylish bequest, debuts in the “It’s this big.
And still thin.” spot.
The BGM features “Dream Big” by Rüü + Oliwa, whose psychedelic sound heightens anticipation for the product.
PerfectSam i & Tropkillaz (feat. Bia & MC Pikachu)
This commercial conveys how the AirPods 4’s Active Noise Cancellation supports you every day, whether you’re happy or feeling lonely.
It shifts through different worlds—like moving from a lonely, ice-bound world to a past recollection, and then unfolding into a colorful world.
The song playing during the dance scene in the latter, colorful world is “Perfect.” The collision-like sound effects leave a strong impression, and the structure—where these intense sounds gradually increase—clearly communicates the song’s build-up.
While the overall mood isn’t exactly bright, it’s a curious track that still feels lively thanks to the layering of various sounds.
Play Play PlayShtriker Big Band
This commercial powerfully highlights Toshiba’s dedication to its rice-cooking method, “Enshō-daki” (Flame Master Cooking).
The dynamic visuals show rice grains swirling inside the cooker as they heat, and the delicious result is conveyed through the expressions the moment it’s tasted.
The featured track is “Play Play Play,” whose full-bodied big band sound delivers a powerful sense of exhilaration.
By pairing the imagery of rice being cooked with a strong, driving rhythm, the ad also conveys a deep commitment to the heat that brings the rice to perfection.
