McDonald’s Commercial Compilation: A Collection of Captivating Ads Featuring Popular Performers (91–100)
McCafe “All Together, Again”
The McCafe commercial “All-Star Gathering: Again” features a star-studded cast, including the 18th Nakamura Kanzaburō, the 6th Nakamura Kankurō, and the 8th Nakamura Shikan.
The CM song that splendidly enhances their appearance is a parody of “Chicago,” performed by Kachel.
The original piece was composed by Fred Fisher, a German-born American composer, and Frank Sinatra’s rendition is especially famous.
The glamorous melody, which evokes the elegance of the actors as if they were walking the red carpet, imparts a refined, unhurried feeling to listeners.
It’s also perfect as background music for a graceful tea time at McCafe!
Value Lunch “Valuran” Version
This is the 2018 McDonald’s commercial featuring Rino Sashihara, titled “Value Lunch: Value Run.” The jingle is a classic parody—what you might call a rewritten lyric version.
The song that “everyone’s heard” is the 1979 track by the German musical group Dschinghis Khan, with the same title.
Besides being used in the commercial, it’s a tune you often hear in many places, like as BGM at school sports days and on variety shows.
McDonald’s Europe Burgers: “German Potato Thick Beef” / “Peperoncino Juicy Hot Chicken”
Many of you probably thought, “Huh? Isn’t this Ghibli?” It’s a very charming McDonald’s commercial featuring the new Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service.
It’s an ad for a limited-time menu called European Burgers, and the banter between Kiki and Jiji has a different kind of appeal from Studio Ghibli’s works, doesn’t it? The background music is the famous Viennese waltz The Blue Danube.
I bet many people recognize the melody but can’t recall the title.
McShake Muscat Alexandria ‘Smile Relay: McShake’ Version
“Galaxy Express 999 ~Shin Mix~” was used in a commercial for McDonald’s limited-time Muscat-flavored McShake, one of the brand’s popular items.
Takuya Kimura appears in the ad, so many of you may find it familiar.
“Galaxy Express 999” is a signature song released by Godiego in 1979 and has long been beloved by many listeners.
The version used in the commercial, “Galaxy Express 999 ~Shin Mix~,” is a newly released 2021 version in which the original recordings were remixed and reborn as high-resolution audio.
Bacon Potato Pie: After-School for Grown-Ups
Epitomizing Tamio Okuda’s rock ’n’ roll flair, his signature song “Easy Rider” was used in 2021 as the jingle for the Bacon Potato Pie commercial.
Even if it’s not your generation, it still screams youth!! And the older you get, the more it hits you—that’s the mark of a true classic.
Its pleasantly abstract lyrics keep you from overthinking and just encourage you to walk on with your favorite music; that message resonates every time you listen.
The going-my-own-way style transcends eras and lifts your spirits.
Melty Hot Pie: “Everyone, great job!” Edition
Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai is a rock band that blends elements of punk and heavy metal.
Their song “I Don’t Want to Get Out of My Futon” expresses the feeling of not wanting to leave the blankets on a winter morning.
Its hallmark is two contrasting parts: one sung with a laid-back vibe, and the other delivered with intense, shout-like vocals.
This song is featured in the commercial for Melty Hot Pie, titled “Minna, Erai” (“Everyone, Good Job”).
Only the former, relaxed part is used in the ad, so you might be surprised when you hear the full version for the first time.
Tsukimi Pie / McFlurry Tsukimi “Daughter” Version
It was selected as the CM song for McDonald’s Tsukimi Burger, which is released every autumn, in 2020.
Since the song was also released in the fall, it’s a perfect fit for the season! As a single, it’s their first love ballad, themed around a long-distance relationship.
The new commercial featuring actor Ken Mitsuishi and actress Yukino Kishii—used in the “Tsukimi Pie / McFlurry Tsukimi ‘Daughter’” version—tells a story of parental love and bonds.
Viewers reacted enthusiastically, with comments like “Isn’t this year’s McDonald’s Tsukimi series commercial just the best?” and “It really hits the spot.”
