Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

When you think of the German automaker Volkswagen, you probably picture its familiar “VW” logo! In addition to cute and stylish models like the Golf, Polo, and Beetle, their cool SUVs like the T-Cross and T-Roc have also become popular in recent years.

In this article, we’ll focus on the music used in Volkswagen’s commercials! Alongside sleek Western tracks, you might be surprised to learn that many songs by Japanese artists are also featured.

Try looking up the songs that caught your ear in the commercials!

One Million Miles AwayJ. Ralph

Volkswagen Big Day

“One Million Miles Away,” the song featured in the “Big Day” commercial, was composed by the American musician J.

Ralph, who also appeared in the film “Score: A Film Music Documentary.” Its sound, centered on a minor-key mood and lyrical strings, is beautiful.

Like the Jetta, whose name comes from a wind, it’s both rough and delicate, with swirling emotions.

If you listen closely in the silence, your senses feel sharpened.

Since this fifth-generation model was called the “Rabbit,” they probably made it resemble a group of rabbits.

This is a commercial video for the Volkswagen sedan, the Jetta, which aired in Canada.
