McDonald’s: “Different City, Same Taste” with Family / “Different City, Same Taste – Kansai”Maru Nonai, Kazuki Iio

Kazuki Iio (Zun) and Maru Nonai star in McDonald’s new TV commercial “Different Cities, Same Taste.” Two versions—Kanto (“Makku”) and Kansai (“Makudo”)—will be aired.

This is a McDonald’s commercial featuring Maru Yanai, who works as a model and actress, playing a woman who has come to a new town.

As her loneliness and anxiety grow from being away from home, a McDonald’s sign catches her eye.

Seeing the same menu and the same atmosphere as back home seems to put her a little at ease.

In a flashback, she remembers visiting McDonald’s with her family, with Kazuki Iio playing the role of her father.

The song used is “Country Roads,” also known as the theme song for the Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart.

It’s sung by Ninjin from Rokudenashi, known for the songs “Tada Koe Hitotsu” and “Ai ga Tomoru.”

Aoi Miyazaki takes a bite of a Matcha Brown Sugar Syrup Warabimochi Pie in a cherry-blossom-filled park: “It’s irresistible!” McDonald’s new TV commercial: ‘Matcha Brown Sugar Syrup Warabimochi Pie: Love Everything About It!’

In this McDonald’s commercial, Aoi Miyazaki eating a Matcha Kuromitsu Warabimochi Pie under a cherry blossom tree leaves a strong impression.

When the man with her asks, “Aren’t you going to look at the flowers?” she replies, “Later,” a perfect nod to the ‘dango over flowers’ theme.

The background music features EPO’s “U, Fu, Fu, Fu,” brimming with a spring vibe.

Both the lyrics and the overall feel are very springlike, making it a perfect fit for this ad.

Chicken Tatsuta “Being torn is youth.”

"Touch" teams up with Chicken Tatsuta! A parody version of "Touch" by Yoshimi Iwasaki becomes the commercial song. Chicken Tatsuta: "Being torn is part of youth" version and "If you're torn between the two" version.

Yoshimi Iwasaki’s 20th single “Touch,” released by Canyon Records on March 21, 1985.

This hit song by Yoshimi Iwasaki was used as the first opening theme for the popular anime Touch, which aired on the Fuji TV network, and it’s a tune you often hear in many settings, including Koshien! Above all, the guitar in the intro is super cool, grabbing you from the very beginning, and Iwasaki’s gentle vocals give it a well-balanced pop feel—a timeless classic you’ll want to listen to again and again!

Tsukimi Burger “Father” Version

The Tsukimi Burger is a classic McDonald’s item for the moon-viewing season.

In a touching commercial, a parent and child who live apart eat Tsukimi Burgers while looking at the same moon, and the background music—Kobukuro’s rendition of “Mikazuki”—heightens the emotion even more.

The song is a cover of Ayaka’s signature 2006 hit “Mikazuki.” When Kobukuro sings it, the song takes on a completely different character in a male voice, doesn’t it? This track is included on their limited-release album “ALL COVERS BEST,” which came out in 2010 in a run of 400,000 copies.
