The commercial “Nerumae no, Omajina i” focuses on parents putting their children to bed.
The song that creates its gentle atmosphere is Yuko Ando’s “Love Me Tender,” a cover of Elvis Presley’s 1959 track of the same name.
Whereas the original centered on guitar, this version places the piano at the forefront, resulting in a more relaxed feel.
Along with its warm lyrics, please immerse yourself in the song’s world.
OriginalYamada Katsuya
A McDonald’s commercial for the Hot Apple Pie and Hot Strawberry Pie featuring Yoko Maki and Sairi Ito.
The waltz melody played on saxophone in this ad is an original piece.
It has a slightly moody vibe that perfectly suits the ad’s grown-up question: What is it that makes adults happy? At the end, the familiar McDonald’s “ba-da-ba-ba-baa” melody is played on saxophone.
The light, chuckle-worthy exchange between the two actresses is nicely tied together by the atmosphere, leaving a memorable impression.
Original songAida Shigeichi
The Spicy Chicken McNuggets set commercial “Mr.
Kimura, With His Senior” featuring Takuya Kimura and Yasunori Danda.
This CM uses an original song produced by musician and music producer Shigekazu Aida.
A cool guitar melody plays in the background while the two argue about work in the car.
After Kimura’s line, “There’s a McDonald’s,” there’s a brief break, then the arrangement adds more layers, bringing a pop feel into the cool vibe.
Stopping by McDonald’s softens the mood between the two, and the music further brightens the atmosphere.
It all wraps up with McDonald’s iconic jingle, “Ba-da-ba-ba-baa,” performed on guitar.

The McDonald’s Heisei Burger commercial series.
This has also garnered attention for featuring Ayumi Hamasaki’s Heisei-era hit “Boys & Girls” as the background music.
Another highlight is Elaiza Ikeda showcasing fashion reminiscent of Ayumi Hamasaki.

The song that played in the Teriyaki McBurger “Shiawasena, Oishisa” commercial featuring actor Masato Sakai is an original piece written by Boston singer-songwriter Niko Rivers.
His style, which fuses indie rock and folk, is captivating for its artistic beauty.
“SWEET AND SALT” is a heartwarming track with a dreamy atmosphere and a floating sensation that evokes gentle, green landscapes.
It’s also recommended as background music for when you want to take it easy.
Easy★RiderOkuda Tamio
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.
