The track “Trustfall,” used in Apple’s “iPhone 13 Pro — Hollywood in your pocket,” was created by composer Repository and violinist Juliet Jones.

It blends synthesizers and violin into a powerful melody.

The intense ensemble of synth and violin toward the end, in particular, exudes a striking character that evokes the techno scene of the 1980s.

Why not lose yourself in this unique expression where classical and electronic music intertwine?

NEXCO Central Japan / “With My Teenage Son” Edition

with a little happinessEri Liao

This is a drama-style commercial focusing on three people: a middle school boy who has entered adolescence and his parents.

It shows a scene where the boy, who has been spending more time apart from his family lately, goes out with them by car for the first time in a while.

Although the boy is standoffish at first, the way he and his parents are captivated together by the beautiful view at a service area warms the heart.

Adding to the emotional impact of this story is the song “with a little happiness” by Eri Liao, a singer with Taiwanese roots.

Created as the theme song for NEXCO Central Japan’s commercials, the track features her calm, lovely vocals and has a soothing quality that heals the listener.

Car commercials always use stylish, fashionable music, don’t they? The Alfa Romeo ad “Alfa Romeo TONALE CM TV4A” is no exception, featuring the stylish track “Amandoti” by Gianna Nannini, one of Italy’s premier rock singers.

Along with the recently popular Måneskin, Italian rock artists have an outstanding knack for songs with that kind of worn-in, slightly faded vibe.
