Mercedes-Benz (1–10)
The new CLS Debut
Within the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the CLS stands out as a four-door coupe characterized by a simple design and a composed atmosphere.
Here is the commercial for the new CLS model announced in 2018! The music was specially composed for the CM by musician Kazumasa Hashimoto, who performs under the name Kazumasa Hashimoto.
The ambient, environmental-music-like vibe—where the engine and driving sounds blend seamlessly with the coastal scenery—is incredibly appealing.
E-Class「How does it feel?」
This piece was created by Yessian Music, a sound company specializing in surround mixing for original music and sound design for films, commercials, and television.
“Masterpiece” is a perfect fit for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, a model that combines style with luxury.
The lower-register electric guitar maintains a steady tempo while conveying a sense of speed.
It also carries a 1970s British rock vibe, and although it may seem simple at first glance, it blends traditional weight and gravitas—truly a Masterpiece in every sense of the word.
The EQC
Blinding Lights is a song that consciously draws heavily on 80s disco music.
It was released in 2019 by The Weeknd, an R&B singer from Canada.
From the moment the catchy synthesizer melody—one listen and it sticks in your head—kicks in, it whisks you away to a stylish, nighttime cityscape.
Its sense of speed makes it especially perfect for car commercials, almost as if you’re out driving.
The song’s similarities to a-ha’s Take On Me have also made mashups of the two tracks popular.

The song powerfully performed in the footage is UNFOLLOW, sung by Shingo Katori.
With its weighty sound and vocals, it delivers a powerful message that it’s important not to conform to others, but to stay true to yourself.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 2015
This commercial conveys the comfortable driving experience of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer through the lens of a family.
The way it glides lightly through the forest, along with the smiles of the family during the journey and at their destination, clearly expresses that comfort.
The song that further highlights this bright, smile-filled atmosphere is “fantasy” by Mr.
Children.
With its gentle rhythm, refreshing melody, and soaring vocals in perfect harmony, it’s a beautiful track that evokes positive feelings.
BMW xDrive 2018
This commercial highlights the stability of BMW’s unique four-wheel-drive system, xDrive, through scenes of the car dashing across snowy landscapes.
The fact that it’s moving at high speed on snow clearly conveys its stability.
