Daihatsu (1–10)
presentNEW!JITTERIN’JINN
This commercial looks back on the cars Daihatsu has released so far through animation, conveying how they have supported people’s lives.
A key point is the focus on compact cars, which highlights the company’s commitment to usability.
Enhancing the cheerful atmosphere of the visuals even more is a parody of Jitterin’ Jinn’s song “Present.” While keeping the original’s light, breezy sound, the lyrics describe how Daihatsu’s cars have supported everyday life.
I want to touch, I want to be sure (feat. Moeka Shiotsuka)ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This commercial conveys the comfort and reassuring ride that lets you enjoy time with your family, shown through Yo Oizumi driving the Daihatsu Tanto Custom.
From Yo Oizumi’s gentle smile and that of a father spending time with his family, you can feel the affection directed toward loved ones.
The song that highlights the gentle atmosphere of the visuals is ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s “Furetai Tashikametai.” Its tender yet sharp band sound carries a sense of strength that feels like taking steady steps forward.
With male–female vocals featuring Moeka Shiotsuka, it also gives the impression of expressing storytelling and affection.
The Water is WideTaeko Ohnuki
This is an introductory commercial for the Move Canbus Theory, which features a calm, mature design.
In the CM, a married couple heads out to play tennis, only to realize they forgot their rackets at home.
After saying, “Well, we messed up,” they switch gears and decide to go for a drive instead.
Their relaxed mindset and the way they enjoy life together make them a truly lovely couple.
The gentle song playing in the background is The Water Is Wide, a Scottish folk tune, sung by Taeko Onuki.
The serene melody pairs beautifully with Onuki’s smooth, understated vocals.
You are in full color.Sakura Fujiwara
The BGM for Daihatsu Move Canbus “COLORING LIFE: Sea” is ‘Kimi wa Tennenshoku,’ sung by Sakura Fujiwara.
This song is a cover of Eiichi Ohtaki’s original, which was released in 1981.
It’s a classic that has since been covered by numerous artists.
It’s frustrating that you only get to hear a snippet in the commercial—you’re left wanting to hear the whole thing—and it leaves you with a refreshing feeling.
It’s a track that perfectly suits the ad’s vibe and even carries a touch of nostalgia.
Mitsubishi Motors (1–10)
Make WayAloe Blacc
This eK X commercial features actor Ryoma Takeuchi and became a hot topic.
The CM song is Aloe Blacc’s track “Make Way.” Aloe Blacc is also known as the vocalist on Avicii’s signature hit “Wake Me Up,” so many people have probably heard his voice.
The commercial combines live-action and CG to showcase the eK X’s performance, with the music adding a stylish touch.
LaylaDerek and the Dominos
This song is one of Eric Clapton’s signature tracks.
It’s said that he fell in love with the wife of his close friend George Harrison at the time, and, inspired by the Persian literary work “Layla and Majnun,” wrote the song’s lyrics.
It was used in the 2003 commercial titled “Autumn: Homecoming.”
LaylaDerek and the Dominos
This corporate commercial, “We Like People Who Venture,” leaves a strong impression as Mitsubishi Motors vehicles appear one after another, powerfully driving forward.
It conveys a message themed around adventure—very fitting for Mitsubishi Motors, which has many vehicles with an active image.
It’s likely to captivate not only Mitsubishi owners but also those who don’t yet drive one.
