Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu

This is a commercial announcing that the Grimace Shake, a huge hit after its 2024 release, will be back for a limited time in 2025.

The Grimace Shake is inspired by McDonald’s mascot, Grimace, and is said to be a blueberry yogurt flavor.

Its taste is introduced in a parody version of the Checkers’ signature song “Gizagiza Heart no Komoriuta,” so be sure to listen closely.

McDonald’s McCafé “Too-Happy! Choco Mint” Version

This commercial, featuring Tomohisa Yamashita and Suzu Hirose dressed in mint-green outfits, announces the arrival of the chocolate mint flavor for McDonald’s frappé.

The two enthusiastically showcase how delicious the chocolate mint frappé is.

The parody lyrics set to the melody of “American Patrol” used in the background music are memorable and irresistibly catchy!

McDonald’s Europe Burgers TV Commercial “Thick Beef with German Potatoes” 15 seconds

Many of you probably thought, “Huh? Isn’t this Ghibli?” It’s a very charming McDonald’s commercial featuring the new Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service.

It’s an ad for a limited-time menu called European Burgers, and the banter between Kiki and Jiji has a different kind of appeal from Studio Ghibli’s works, doesn’t it? The background music is the famous Viennese waltz The Blue Danube.

I bet many people recognize the melody but can’t recall the title.

Frappe has arrived at McDonald's/ Mc—The “Tea or Coffee” edition

Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of YouBoys Town Gang

Suzu Hirose struggles with an “ultimate choice,” showing a flurry of cute expressions in McDonald’s new commercial: Frappe Comes to McDonald’s — “Tea or Coffee” edition.

McDonald’s Frappe commercial “Tea or Coffee” features a humorous exchange between the comedy duo Knights and Suzu Hirose, making it a fun ad to watch.

Seeing them struggle to choose between a tea frappe and a coffee frappe will probably resonate with many people—“I’d be torn, too!” The background music is the classic ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,’ best known for the cover by Boys Town Gang.

It’s a timeless hit with an irresistibly upbeat, disco-inspired groove.

McDonald’s Tsukimi Family: “The Return of Princess Kaguya”

McDonald’s 2024 commercial for its classic autumn Tsukimi Burger was created with a Princess Kaguya theme.

It opens with a poignant scene of an elderly man and woman gazing up at the sky, thinking of Kaguya-hime, who has returned to the moon.

But then the tone shifts humorously as Kaguya-hime casually pops back in with a cheerful “Hey!” simply because it’s the moon-viewing season.

The ad ends on a heartwarming note with the three of them enjoying Tsukimi Burgers together.

The background music is Ayaka’s 2006 hit song “Mikazuki,” whose lyrics about longing for a loved one far away really resonate.

McDonald’s Night Mac: “The Teriyaki Shock” Edition

Bittersweet SambaHerb Alpert

"Audrey's All Night Nippon" and McDonald's collaborate! Completely ad-lib, just like a radio show!?

Set to the background music of All Night Nippon and featuring Audrey’s lively banter, this is a commercial for McDonald’s Night Mac.

The BGM, “Bittersweet Samba,” is indeed a stylish track that perfectly suits the nighttime vibe.

With the two jokingly chatting about McDonald’s, it really feels like you’re listening to Audrey’s radio show.

McDonald’s Rice Chicken Tatsuta Detective Conan “Feast at Sunset (Delicious)” Version / “Detective Conan: Golden Feast” Version

Conan BGM No. 1: Detective Conan Main Theme

This commercial promotes the return of McDonald’s popular Chicken Tatsuta as if it were a preview for the anime Detective Conan.

The regular Chicken Tatsuta is introduced with the subtitle “Feast of Gold,” while the rice-bun version available in the evening is presented as “Feast of the Sunset.” The tense mood, as if chasing down a culprit, cleverly mirrors the pursuit of the Chicken Tatsuta—an amusing touch.

The background music is the series’ main theme, which, together with the visuals, heightens the sense of suspense.

Because it’s a song typically played in previews or at the beginning of the story, it also builds anticipation that the story is about to begin.
