Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.
POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

The hamburger chain McDonald’s.

It’s probably very familiar to a great many people and feels approachable, isn’t it?

Its TV commercials air frequently, so we see them often, too.

In McDonald’s commercials, the cast often draws attention—popular actors, idols, and comedians—while the music varies as well, ranging from songs by popular artists to famous international classics.

In this article, we’ll introduce a range of McDonald’s commercial songs all at once, so be sure to check out any tracks that catch your interest.

McDonald’s All-Time Popular CM Songs and Commercial Tunes [2026] (101–110)

Choi Mac: Drive-Thru Song (Version)

Drive-through songkimura takuya

Choi Mac 'Drive-Thru Song' Version 30 Seconds 1080P HD

This is the McDonald’s commercial “Choi-Mac: The Drive-Thru Song,” featuring Takuya Kimura as the image character.

It’s about “Choi-Mac,” for those times when it’s not quite a full lunch but not just a small snack either.

The idea is simply to try getting a Choi-Mac at the drive-thru, sung exactly as it comes to mind.

It has that casual ‘humming to yourself’ vibe, but as he sits alone in the car and gradually heats up, you can really feel the chorus kick in (lol).
