Not only domestic manufacturers but also overseas manufacturers are actively producing commercials, and you see car commercials all the time, don’t you?

In this article, we’ll showcase car commercials from both domestic and international automakers, old and new, all at once.

Since the cast, BGM, and direction differ for each model, enjoy comparing those differences as you watch.

Nissan “Go for it, NISSAN: The Opening Act”Takuya Kimura

[CM] NISSAN “Go for it, NISSAN: The Dawn” version — Takuya Kimura

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.

Nissan Note e-Power “Girlfriend” Version

[Nissan Note Commercial] - Japan Edition 2019 (2)

A Nissan NOTE e-Power commercial shows a girl who forgot something borrowing her boyfriend’s car to go pick it up.

The ad features stylish, Western-style music—but it’s actually an original song made just for the commercial.

A fresh, uplifting melody plays, perfectly matching the visuals of the car delivering a pleasant drive as it zips breezily along the coast and through the mountains.

The song even conveys how comfortable and light the ride feels, making it easy for women to drive as well.

Hearing how the track begins and ends within the CM really makes you curious about how the parts before and after unfold!

Honda (1–10)

Honda VEZEL “Ultra-Urban VEZEL” Version / “Ultra-Urban VEZEL RS” VersionNEW!

This is an introduction commercial for the Vezel with the memorable tagline “Born for the city.” In addition to highlighting its interior and exterior features, the ad emphasizes how easy it is to drive in urban areas, including a size that makes parking in city lots simple.

Not only is the Vezel shown with a focus on its stylishness, but the visuals themselves are cool and eye-catching.

It’s also notable that the BGM features Rikon Densetsu’s “First Kiss.” Despite lyrics that portray a bittersweet love that tightens the chest, the combination with an up-tempo, stylish track is captivating.

If you listen while reading the lyrics, you may find parts that resonate with your own experiences.

HONDA FREED <Tightly! FREED “Flat Floor” version>Motoki Omori

This is a commercial for the Freed, which underwent a full model change in 2024, promoting its comfortable interior created by a flat floor design all the way to the third row.

The CM features Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, which sparked major buzz among fans.

Their song “familie” is also used as the background music.

As the title suggests, the theme centers on family and love, and the car-themed lyrics tailored to the CM are particularly memorable.

HONDA FREED <Gyutto! FREED> “CROSSTAR” Version / “AIR” Version

In this commercial, which tightly packs in the charms of the Freed, two versions are featured: the active, outdoorsy “CROSSTAR” and the classic styling “AIR.” The “CROSSTAR” version shows people enjoying activities like the outdoors with the car, while the “AIR” version focuses on the car’s interior and exterior, depicting heartwarming moments with a family.

Both are crafted to spark the imagination—“If I had a Freed, I could have experiences like these.” The background music is “familie” by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, a song about love for family and loved ones.

With the band’s signature light and refreshing melody, it’s an original track written specifically for the Freed commercial.
