McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger “Adults Are the Best!” Version

Recommendation for AdultsNEW!dohatsuten

This commercial depicts Masato Sakai dashing into McDonald’s on his way home from work, highlighting the hearty volume of the Double Cheeseburger in a way that conveys youthful momentum.

From the Double Cheeseburger, he recalls his youth, embodying a resolve to keep taking on challenges, while McDonald’s is shown as a steady support for everyday life.

Amplifying the youthful energy portrayed in the visuals is the song “Otona no Susume” by Dohatsuten, which expresses what it means to be an adult through a powerful band sound and straightforwardly celebrates the fun of adulthood.

This commercial showcases the value and satisfaction of the 15-piece Chicken McNuggets through a light, catchy song.

Marika Ito appears as a school teacher, walking nimbly down the hallway while singing about the nuggets.

The source material for this visual concept is “Marikka ’17,” in which Marika Ito sang as a high school student.

Because that song depicted everyday life as a high schooler, the contrast with her singing as a teacher highlights the passage of time and adds an element of fun.

Kyoko Saito introduces McDonald’s value weekday daytime set with song and dance.

After buying the set to go, she returns home, appears on the balcony while dancing, and is shown taking out a burger and eating it.

The dynamic choreography conveys how great a deal the set is, and her happy expression when she bites into the burger is memorable.

As the BGM, she sings “Yeah! Meccha Holiday,” one of Aya Matsuura’s signature songs.

In the original, “holiday” refers to days off, but in this commercial it’s sung as “weekday” to promote the weekday daytime set.

McDonald’s Bacon Potato Pie “Just Like Back Then” Version

cherry blossomNEW!Ketsumeishi

Ketsumeishi’s “Sakura,” released in 2005, is a song that layers the image of cherry blossoms heralding the arrival of spring with unchanging memories.

While incorporating expansive tones of piano and strings, the rhythm is solidly marked, and the rap parts are clearly emphasized.

The spring imagery surrounding sakura and the expressions of memories are striking, conveying a bittersweet mood while also expressing the warmth of spring.

The song was also used in a 2026 McDonald’s commercial promoting the Bacon Potato Pie, and a notable point is that Emi Suzuki—who appeared in the music video—appeared in the commercial as a mother.

The visuals also consciously reference the music video, firmly depicting the unchanging scenery of spring.

The highlight is Ryo Yoshizawa, joyfully moving with the new product in hand, and his subsequent smile conveys a pure sense of excitement.

The song that further accentuates the springtime exhilaration depicted in the visuals is EPO’s “U, Fu, Fu, Fu.” Its light, memorable sound carried by a gentle rhythm, combined with the tender yet powerful vocals, evokes a feeling of joyful anticipation.
