"A Bedtime Charm"

Love Me TenderAndō Yūko

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.

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.

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.
