Toyota (1–10)
You’re BeautifulJames Blunt
James Blunt’s signature song, which weaves a bittersweet love for a chance encounter with a clear, translucent vocal.
Released in May 2005, this work has continued to be loved worldwide as a quintessential ballad of the British pop scene.
Its delicate emotional expression and melodious composition blend beauty and poignancy in exquisite balance, resonating deeply with listeners.
Released as a single from the album “Back to Bedlam,” it reached No.
1 on the charts in 13 countries and was used in Japan in 2006 as an insert song for the TV drama “Kobayakawa Nobuki no Koi.” It also featured in commercials for the Toyota Vitz and Shiseido’s TSUBAKI, making it widely familiar across generations.
Harmonizing pure expressions of love with a graceful sense of resignation, this song is a perfect choice to celebrate the newlyweds’ departure during a wedding recessional.
Nissan (1–10)
Setting SunThe Chemical Brothers
The song used in the X-Trail commercial is an early classic by The Chemical Brothers, featuring vocals by Noel Gallagher of Oasis.
It’s often described as a modern version of The Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows.”
Feel The BernMike Casey
The commercial for the Ariya electric vehicle, titled “Unforgettable Pleasure,” alternates between scenes of a man listening to sophisticated jazz and the Ariya in motion.
The visuals evoke powerful driving performance that suggests you can truly enjoy the drive, even in an EV—surely piquing many viewers’ interest.
The jazz playing in the background is by American musician Mike Casey, a next-generation jazz saxophonist gaining attention.
Its captivating atmosphere—keeping you on edge about what will happen next—combined with the bold tone of the saxophone, is especially appealing.
Original songaudioforce
Up until now, when it came to Nissan commercials, Eikichi Yazawa had a strong association, but in August 2020 Takuya Kimura appeared.
In July 2020, Nissan refreshed its emblem and unveiled the new ARIYA electric vehicle—a commercial launched right at the dawn of a new era.
Nissan can be said to be in the midst of adversity, and having Takuya Kimura—who has faced various hardships—appear with the line, “Bring it on,” is genuinely cool and compelling.
The track by audioforce, which heightens the sense of rugged resolve, fits perfectly with the commercial’s situation and with Kimura’s monologue.
Mazda (1–10)
My SharonaThe Knack
Despite enjoying immense popularity—such as their debut album spending six consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the Billboard charts—the British rock band The Knack has been on hiatus since 2010 following the death of a member.
Their debut single “My Sharona,” which was used in a Familia commercial in the mid-1990s, is still heard in many contexts today, including on the variety show ‘Ame Talk!’ Its catchy riff and vocal harmonies continue to influence musicians around the world across generations.
It’s a classic in rock history with an unforgettable impact after just one listen.
Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um
When it comes to Mazda commercials, it has to be this song, right? Various covers of this track have been used in Mazda ads over the years.
The original song is titled “Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um,” and it’s actually about capoeira.
The original has a much more relaxed tempo than the version used in the commercials.
Also, in the ads it’s sung as “Zoom Zoom Zoom,” so there are a few differences from the original.
The sound and rhythm are so catchy you can’t help but hum along!
Take Me AwayDave Holden feat. NADINE
The commercial for Mazda’s All New Mazda 2 shows the car swiftly speeding through a place so dark and subterranean, you’d hardly call it a normal driving environment.
The CM song, Take Me Away, gives a mysterious impression, as if it were expressing the enigmatic space within an underground tunnel.
The track is a collaboration between producer/composer David Holden and singer Nadine.
The title literally means “Take me with you.” True to that phrase, listening to this song makes you feel as if you’re setting off on a mysterious adventure, racing through an underground tunnel.
