HAPPY GATHERING DAYYamashita Tatsuro
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.
sogoodAI
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.
Original song
This commercial highlights how you can enjoy a great-value set of Original Chicken and Furi-Furi Fries, conveyed through Rosa Kato’s expressions and presence.
By clearly showing her eating, you can really feel the portion size, which in turn communicates just how good a deal this set is.
The video captures that irresistible urge to keep eating, and the original song makes that feeling stand out even more.
With straightforward lyrics that express both the munching onomatopoeia “mushamusha” and the happiness that follows, sung over a light, buoyant sound, it paints a picture of everyday joy.

Since there’s an extra piece included for a limited time, it shows him trying to eat just that bonus piece on the way home, capturing his anticipation for the chicken.
While the exact flavor isn’t described in detail, his blissful expression clearly communicates the quality.
Another highlight is the rap he casually hums on the way back—playing on the wordplay between Kenta Kiritani’s first name “Kenta” and Kentucky’s nickname “Kenta”—lightly expressing the excitement of having the chicken in hand.

That sense of expectation and fun conveyed by the visuals is highlighted by Agnes Chan’s light, airy singing voice.
