The McDonald’s commercial featuring Suzu Hirose and Jun Shison, the McCafé “Holiday Frappé Has Arrived” edition, portrays the two enjoying the products during the holiday season.

The magical staging is delightful.

In the background, the famed Christmas song “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Boys Town Gang plays, and its familiar, upbeat sound elevates the festive party mood.

This commercial introduces McDonald’s Spicy Chicken McNuggets and conveys the refreshing sensation that comes from their heat.

The combination of fireworks imagery with the Spicy Chicken McNuggets suggests a flavor that’s perfect for summer.

The song “Fire◎Flower” further emphasizes the powerful yet bittersweet mood portrayed by the fireworks in the visuals.

It’s a track that sets poignant, firework-related emotions to a driving sound, evoking the feeling of summer’s end.

Value Lunch “Valuran” Version

Genghis Khan (also refers to a Japanese grilled mutton dish called ‘Jingisukan’)

This is the 2018 McDonald’s commercial featuring Rino Sashihara, titled “Value Lunch: Value Run.” The jingle is a classic parody—what you might call a rewritten lyric version.

The song that “everyone’s heard” is the 1979 track by the German musical group Dschinghis Khan, with the same title.

Besides being used in the commercial, it’s a tune you often hear in many places, like as BGM at school sports days and on variety shows.

McDonald’s: “We want to be your place.”

This is McDonald’s recruitment commercial, titled “We Want to Be Your Place.” It’s a collaboration with the hugely popular singer-songwriter imase, featuring his newly written song “Happy Order?” as the BGM, and imase himself appears in the ad.

With visuals that feel just like one of imase’s music videos, it’s the kind of spot many viewers probably couldn’t help but watch all the way through.

Big Mac: “This year, everyone with a BIG SMILE” version

The McDonald’s Big Mac commercial “This Year, BIG SMILE Together,” featuring Ryoko Shinohara.

In this musical-style ad where Shinohara sings and dances, the song she performs, “SMILE,” was originally an instrumental piece used in Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times.

It has been covered by various artists around the world, including Michael Jackson.

In the commercial, Shinohara sings the Japanese translation of the song.

All-Time Popular McDonald’s Commercial Songs [2026] (41–50)

Cheese Loco Moco, Garlic Shrimp, Hawaiian Barbecue: “Hawaii Now at McDonald’s! Burger” Edition

Two People’s Love IslandIshikawa Yuko & Chage

“Futari no Airando,” which has been featured in various commercials over the years, was also used in a McDonald’s commercial.

The song was released in 1984 as a collaborative track by singer-songwriter Yuko Ishikawa and Chage of CHAGE and ASKA.

Its especially catchy chorus is likely familiar even to generations who didn’t know the song in real time back then.

The up-tempo, summery vibe perfectly matches the image of the Loco Moco Burger, which is themed around Hawaii!

McDonald’s “Premium Roast Coffee 2025” Version

This is a commercial recommending McDonald’s Premium Roast Coffee through Shoma Uno’s performance.

On the ice rink, just before he begins his routine, Uno holds a McDonald’s hot coffee in his hand.

As his performance starts, the song that plays is a parody of “Tsubbari High School Rock’n Roll (School Edition),” a tune familiar from McDonald’s coffee ads.

The sight of him landing one move after another with a coffee in hand, paired with a calm, matter-of-fact narration, creates a distinctly surreal effect.

The original song that the parody is based on was released by Yokohama Ginbae in 1981.
