Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. 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 Commercial Songs [2026] (141–150)

“Your love supports the parent and child’s ‘I want to see you.’”

Laughing MedicineAI

Laughin’ Medicine

Laughing MedicineAI

This is a song included in AI’s 2019 release “Gratitude!!!!! Thank you for 20 years NEW & BEST,” commemorating her 20th anniversary.

It’s a track that showcases her depth as one of Japan’s top-tier R&B singers, with a rich blend of English woven into the Japanese lyrics.

It was featured in a McDonald’s commercial supporting the theme of a parent and child’s “I want to see you.” It also served as a support song to raise awareness for McHappy Day, a charity initiative aimed at helping children battling illness and their families, bringing hope to many people.

The Tsukimi Burger is a classic McDonald’s item for the moon-viewing season.

In a touching commercial, a parent and child who live apart eat Tsukimi Burgers while looking at the same moon, and the background music—Kobukuro’s rendition of “Mikazuki”—heightens the emotion even more.

The song is a cover of Ayaka’s signature 2006 hit “Mikazuki.” When Kobukuro sings it, the song takes on a completely different character in a male voice, doesn’t it? This track is included on their limited-release album “ALL COVERS BEST,” which came out in 2010 in a run of 400,000 copies.

Chicken Tatsuta “Being torn is youth.”

TouchIwasaki Yoshimi

"Touch" teams up with Chicken Tatsuta! A parody version of "Touch" by Yoshimi Iwasaki becomes the commercial song. Chicken Tatsuta: "Being torn is part of youth" version and "If you're torn between the two" version.

Yoshimi Iwasaki’s 20th single “Touch,” released by Canyon Records on March 21, 1985.

This hit song by Yoshimi Iwasaki was used as the first opening theme for the popular anime Touch, which aired on the Fuji TV network, and it’s a tune you often hear in many settings, including Koshien! Above all, the guitar in the intro is super cool, grabbing you from the very beginning, and Iwasaki’s gentle vocals give it a well-balanced pop feel—a timeless classic you’ll want to listen to again and again!
