Denderaryu Naka Riisa

In 2012, the Toyota “Passo” commercial song featuring Riisa Naka singing with hand play drew attention online for its mysterious lyrics.

It’s a traditional children’s song from Nagasaki Prefecture titled “Denderaryū,” which has also been featured on NHK Educational TV’s “Nihongo de Asobo.”

TOYOTA (Toyota Motor Corporation) RAV4 “Anthem” Version

Anthem of LoveforeYO‐KING

[Netz Toyota Sapporo] RAV4 TV Commercial “Anthem” Version, 30 Seconds (NEW)

Anthem of Love for YO-KING

A commercial whose mischievous melody by YO-KING lingers in your ears.

It perfectly matches the image of the RAV4! It makes you want to hum along while driving this car.

The copy “Get drenched in what you love!” brilliantly conveys its highly versatile image for activities like the outdoors.

I haven’t found any information about the song’s release, so it may have been written exclusively for the commercial.

When the Saints Go Marching In

The song playing in Hokkaido Toyota’s “SUV Winter” commercial is When the Saints Go Marching In.

It’s a classic jazz standard that’s loved and heard in many settings, including as a sports cheer song.

This version features winter imagery, creating a fun atmosphere that matches the excited feeling of going out.

The cheery, bell-like sounds also help lift your mood! It seems perfect as background music or a companion for a drive.

Bon Jovi – Have A Nice Day

Have A Nice DayBon Jovi

This song by the American rock band Bon Jovi became a worldwide hit.

“Have a Nice Day” is usually used as a greeting meaning “Have a good one,” but in this song it seems to carry a sarcastic sense like, “Yeah, whatever—this conversation is over.” It was used as the theme song for an RAV4 commercial.

Saturday in the Park – Chicago

Saturday in the ParkCHICAGO

This is the song that was used in the commercial for Toyota’s sedan “Brevis” in 2001.

It’s a 1972 song by the American band Chicago, and I think it’s very well known in Japan—one that everyone has probably heard at least once on TV or the radio.
