SUBARU DEX “Debut” Version

In this commercial, as Yuri Ebihara shows off stylish moves, Subaru’s DEX appears, highlighting its coolness.

Because the cool vibe is expressed with her entire body, the ad conveys not only the compact DEX’s cuteness but also its strength.

Further emphasizing the cool atmosphere of the visuals is MiChi’s “One Of A Kind.” The guitar tones resonate strikingly, and the slower tempo all the more effectively communicates a sense of power.

The forceful vocals, delivered almost like being thrown at you over the powerful sound, also convey strong confidence.

Finding BeautyCraig Armstrong

Craig Armstrong, a composer from Scotland, has created music for many films.

His piece “Finding Beauty” was used as the theme song for a Legacy commercial.

It is a beautiful composition that combines string melodies with electronic music.

SUBARU OUTBACK 'One & Only' Version

Crosstown TrafficJimi Hendrix

The song that played in the 2009 Legacy Outback commercial “One & Only” was Crosstown Traffic.

It’s a track by the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix—affectionately known as “Jimi Hen”—included on his 1968 album Electric Ladyland and later released as a single.

Its vibe is uniquely playful, as if comparing frustration to a traffic jam.

The use of a kazoo, a mouth-blown instrument, adds a funky touch, while the distorted guitar riffs and rhythmic vocals from Hendrix create an uplifting, feel-good beat.
