The track "Ai♡Scream!" by the limited unit AiScReam from "Love Live! School Idol Project" has absolutely blown up on social media, dominating TikTok and Instagram feeds. This certified banger even hit #1 on Spotify's trending charts in China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and more, with K-pop groups like NMIXX and IVE dropping their own dance covers. Seriously, it's a certified anthem!
And speaking of trending, McDonald's Japan isn't just serving up Happy Meals anymore. They've been crushing it on social media with their quirky, on-trend content. Today (June 30), they dropped a wild collaboration ad with AiScReam, taking the viral hit and remixing it with lyrics all about their burgers. Naturally, it's already set the internet ablaze!
We're pretty sure countless netizens are already hopelessly addicted to the catchy "Haaai, nani ga suki?" (Hey, what do you like?) line. It's easily one of the most widely shared "Love Live!" tracks of the year.
For this epic collab, McDonald's Japan brought in AiScReam members Kurosawa Ruby (voiced by Furihata Ai), Uehara Ayumu (voiced by Onishi Aguri), and Wakaba Shiki (voiced by Okuma Wakana). They re-recorded the song and created a brand-new ad using footage from their 2024 Asia Tour concert. In the clip, all three idols proudly show off their favorite McDonald's burgers, declaring their newfound love with the adapted line, "I love burgers more!"
Since that concert footage has been a goldmine for fan edits and even AI-generated remixes, many initially wondered if this was another AI creation. But nope! McDonald's went all out, bringing in the actual voice actresses to re-record everything. Talk about dedication!
Fans are showering praise on the meticulous attention to detail, from the color grading and lighting to the perfect focus – the whole production just screams quality. Sure, maybe the in-ear monitors are a slight giveaway, but when the big players decide to have fun, they go all in!
And of course, the internet wouldn't be the internet without some hilarious Ronald McDonald cult leader memes popping up. XD
After all, there's no shortage of videos combining the iconic clown with various "cult leader" vibes online...
Honestly, McDonald's Japan's social media game just keeps getting wilder. They're not just digging up old internet memes; they're also lightning-fast at jumping on new trends, constantly churning out unexpected and brilliant ideas. Their marketing team must be full of absolute geniuses! XD
