As many of you may already know, McDonald’s Japan launched several commercials in the past in which they focused on promoting the atmosphere in their stores while promoting their products using scenes created in a particular anime style that managed to captivate people and made the popularity of the franchise skyrocket. It seems that McDonald’s will follow the same course this time to promote one of its products that will undoubtedly attract the attention of foreigners.
McDonalds promotes its Shaka Shaka Fries with a cute waifu
In the official TikTok account of McDonald’s Japan, we can see that they published two videos this week in which appears a cute waifu dressed with cat ears and tail while in the background we can hear a song well known in the community, it is Nyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanya! originally sung by the VOCALOID program Hatsune Miku, but in this video we can see that it has different lyrics, as it is saying Shaka Shaka throughout the song referring to the famous fries of this franchise.
We can even see that the movements made by this tender waifu created by McDonald’s refers to how they move the fries inside the bag so that the special seasonings that were added before are impregnated very well to the fries and give them an even more special flavor. At least in that part of the world, this method has become very popular among the establishment’s diners because it adds new flavors and in a way it is a very creative method to add flavor.
And in a second video that was uploaded to the McDonalds TikTok account we can see how they changed a little the design that this waifu had to a cute but innovating a little, since the appearance of this character has a new 8-bit style which manages to attract much attention by this new appearance that adopts and by the cute dance she performs in the video.
All these new videos created by McDonalds started for the cat’s day, but apparently they decided to explore and continue with the trend of creating new characters to satisfy the otaku fans, at the same time promoting their most popular products, as it was in this case that promoted the Shake Shake Fries and we do not doubt that they will make more of this type of commercials in the future.
Wow, this type of ads took by surprise many anime fans who were amazed with this type of advertising in which McDonald’s Japan is focusing a lot, so we just have to wait in the future to continue generating more of this type of commercials and who knows, maybe in the future we could see how other chains or the same franchise internationally take other types of commercials of this type.
