[KFC] Latest Kentucky Fried Chicken Commercials Summary (51–60)

KFC “so good” Version

Nice commercial: KFC “so good” version ♪AI

It seems that the artist AI is such a huge fan of Kentucky Fried Chicken that she ended up taking on its theme song.

With that much passion poured into it, there’s no way the song won’t lift your spirits! The title “sogood” would roughly correspond to “Nice!” in Japanese.

It’s a phrase with a curious ring to it—something you can casually say to someone feeling down or to patch things up with friends after an awkward moment.

The music video, which stitches together short dramas, is heartwarming no matter which story you look at.

KFC “Kenta Festival 2009” Version

Kenta Matsuri 2009 – Summer Campaign

It’s a very upbeat, positive song that’s so characteristic of GReeeeN.

When it comes on, your body just naturally starts moving to the beat, doesn’t it? The rhythm even feels a bit like samba, doesn’t it? It was also used as the CM song for Kentucky’s “Kenta Festival 2009.” It’s perfect for a lively party and definitely a track you’ll want to add to your party-boosting BGM.

GReeeeN, who have balanced careers as dentists and artists since their debut, remain shrouded in secrecy—making their activities all the more intriguing!

KFC Krushers

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu │ KFC “Krushers”

It’s a fun song written and composed by the well-known Yasutaka Tanaka, who works on many of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s tracks.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s songs really stick in your head after just one listen, don’t they? In this one too, scat-like words such as “chu-chu” and “kura-kura” are repeated endlessly.

If just 15 seconds of it in a KFC commercial can leave the melody stuck in your head, is that Kyary magic at work? A mysterious track with a refined kind of addictiveness that makes you want to listen to it again and again the more you hear it.

KFC 1997 Christmas commercial

1997 commercial: Kentucky Fried Chicken Party Barrel Christmas

This is the memorable 40th single, released in 1997.

The song, which depicts the end of a bittersweet love echoing at summer’s close, makes you want to slap your knee and say, “That’s Kuwata for you!” It’s a must-listen even if you’re not a fan.

It’s kind of mysterious how such a bittersweet breakup song could also fit a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial.

The title “BLUE HEAVEN” literally means “blue heaven,” and while it might suggest a song set by the sea, there’s also an interpretation that the night sky, blurred by tears, looked blue.

How does it sound to you?

KFC ‘HAPPY GATHERING DAY’ VersionHaruka Ayase

Haruka Ayase - HAPPY GATHERING DAY Version (1001) Web-Exclusive Edition☆

This is the song used in a 2010 commercial for KFC’s 40th anniversary campaign.

As the title “Happy Gathering Day” suggests, many people will find comfort in its lyrics that invite everyone to come together and have fun.

The words feel like a gentle letter to family back home or to friends you’ve grown distant from—something only Tatsuro Yamashita could capture.

Why is it that his voice is so soothing? It’s a perfect match for the image of everyone gathering to enjoy Kentucky Fried Chicken together.
