When you watch TV, you probably see a lot of commercials, and among them, car commercials are especially frequent, aren’t they?

That’s no surprise—there are eight manufacturers whose ads are commonly seen in Japan, and when you add overseas brands to the mix, it’s only natural that you’ll come across car commercials often.

What’s more, each manufacturer chooses music that perfectly fits their commercials, and each of those songs often becomes a hot topic with people asking, “Whose song is that?”

In this article, we’ll introduce those buzzworthy car maker commercials along with the songs featured in them.

You’re likely to find a commercial you happened to see—or a catchy song you heard in one of them.

Let’s dive right in.

TV commercial: The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe debuts.

Now boasting such a high level of musicality that it feels almost gauche to talk about their looks or concept, the five-piece rock band MAN WITH A MISSION has earned popularity both in Japan and abroad.

This song, selected as the commercial theme for BMW’s 4 Series Gran Coupe, was created to evoke the climax of the band’s first concept album.

Structured as a three-part suite, it’s intricate yet perfectly balanced—no matter which section you hear, you can tell it’s unmistakably MAN WITH A MISSION.

Accompanying the refined imagery is The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” one of his signature songs released in 2019.

The synth riff riding over a danceable beat is striking, and his clear vocals are highly appealing—listening to it really puts you in a bright, uplifted mood.
