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.

Featuring Ano, who is often seen as not being comfortable with big smiles, this McDonald’s commercial conveys that even people who aren’t good at smiling can work in their own way.

While it’s not a beaming grin, the subtle smile that suggests the joy of being able to work without losing one’s individuality is striking.

It’s also unique that the McDonald’s commercial song—usually strongly associated with smiles—is titled “I Won’t Give You a Smile” under the artist name ano.

The Teritama commercial “Spirit of the Cherry Blossoms,” released in the spring of 2021, features Natsuko—active as a model and actress—and actor Yoshiaki Azuma.

The CM pairs perfectly with Ikimono-gakari’s “SAKURA,” chosen to accompany visuals of beautiful pink cherry blossoms.

Released in 2006, the song has long been loved by many as a classic cherry blossom tune.

Rather than evoking flamboyant blossoms, it conjures images of petals falling with a touch of poignancy.

In the difficult spring of 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the commercial seems to deliver the refined, understated atmosphere of cherry blossoms that Japanese people have cherished for ages.

If you want to gaze at the blossoms while feeling a gentle sense of melancholy, this song is highly recommended!
