Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Nissan's commercial for its popular March car have used several Shibuya-kei-related songs over the years, including Kahimi Karie, a cover of Flipper's Guitar by Nakatsuka Takeshi, an original mid-90's song by Konishi Yasuharu, a cover sung by Harada Ikuko (Clammbon) and more. This is a first collection of these commercial songs, as the March celebrates its 26th anniversary.
