Original songcashell
This is a commercial sent out as part of the promotion for Mazda’s flagship SUV, the CX-8, aimed at car-loving families with children.
The tagline conveys the message: “Make both your time alone and your time with family truly special.” The footage is luxurious, showing the MAZDA CX-8 racing through a fantastical European lake district shrouded in deep green and white mist.
It was Mazda’s best-selling vehicle in 2018.
The music is an instrumental whose clear guitar tones perfectly match the dreamlike imagery.
Daihatsu (1–10)
Don’t Stop Me NowQueen
It’s a song released in 1978 by the British rock band Queen, included on the album Jazz.
It was released as a single in 1979 and became a big hit.
In 2000, it was used in a commercial for the Move.
Mambo No.5Perez Prado
It is a piece composed and released in 1949 by Cuba’s Pérez Prado and is one of the best-known instrumental tracks of the mambo genre.
In Japan, it is included in the fifth-grade music textbook published by Kyoiku Geijutsu-sha.
An original arrangement of the piece was used in a commercial for Daihatsu’s “Daishohatsu Yume Fair.”
The Water is WideOhnuki Taeko
This commercial depicts the everyday lives of various people alongside the Daihatsu Move Canbus.
It shows people living by the sea and in nature, and how their daily routines are supported by the Move Canbus, conveying a sense of safety, trust, and easygoing drivability.
The song that underscores the gentle mood of the visuals is Taeko Onuki’s rendition of “The Water Is Wide.” It’s a cover that clearly pays homage to Karla Bonoff’s original, and the tender vocals layered with the sound of acoustic guitar convey a warm feeling.
Theme From A Summer PlaceThe Percy Faith Orchestra
Born in Toronto, Canada, in 1908, composer, conductor, and producer Percy Faith originally aspired to be a pianist, but he had to give up that path after suffering burns to his hands.
His music was used in Daihatsu’s “300 Million Giveaway Test-Drive Campaign.”
Violin Concerto in F minor “The Four Seasons,” “Winter,” First MovementAntonio Lucio Vivaldi
That familiar piece—the first movement of “Winter” from Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in F minor, The Four Seasons—plays when Atsuro Watanabe, the developer of Move, looks back on the tough research days of his past.
It truly symbolizes his own personal winter.
And then, five years later, amid the bustling yet warm atmosphere of his new family life, “Autumn” plays.
It fits the story perfectly and is irresistibly funny.
