This is the fourth single by the legendary rock band Queen, whose popularity resurged in Japan thanks to the worldwide smash hit of the 2018 biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody.

Used as the song for Honda’s Mobilio “With Design” commercial, it became Queen’s first major hit and is known as one of their signature tracks.

It features quintessential Queen elements: exquisitely harmonized melodies and a memorable solo built from multiple layered guitar tracks.

The airy, piano-driven arrangement lifts your spirits—perfect for listening to while driving.

Queen – We Will Rock You (Official Video)

The song featured in JT’s Roots commercial is Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” one of the band’s signature tracks.

The powerful, foot-stomping sound at the beginning is striking, and from that forceful resonance you can feel a determination to move forward and a sense of excitement about the future.

As the vocals and instrumentation layer on from there, it evokes a growing strength and even a sense of human connection.

The opening tends to get most of the attention, but I recommend listening all the way through to really feel how far the intensity builds by the end.

With Queen’s signature choral work, combined with a sense of speed and dynamism that elevates the mood, it’s truly a perfect song for a car commercial.

Because the song features a variety of developments, the impression it gives can change greatly depending on which part you focus on—an interesting aspect of the piece.
