Tirori Mix (2025)

Ado, YOASOBI, and VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei—three of Japan's biggest music names—end up crossing paths in a neon-drenched futuristic city, and the thing that brings them together is... the McDonald's fryer chime. Yeah, that little jingle. This is a single-episode promotional music video from McDonald's Japan, and honestly it has no business going as hard as it does. The concept takes the iconic 'tirori' sound and weaves it into a remix of three massive tracks: Ado's 'Yoru no Pierrot,' YOASOBI's 'Yoru ni Kakeru,' and Suisei's 'Bibbidiba.' Each artist gets their own visual identity in this slick sci-fi cityscape before their styles collide and merge into something unexpectedly cohesive. The animation leans into that cyberpunk-meets-pop aesthetic, giving it a vibe somewhere between a Carole & Tuesday jam session and Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song's visual ambition—just compressed into a few minutes instead of a full season. If you liked D4DJ First Mix for the crossover energy between different musical worlds, this scratches a similar itch in a fraction of the runtime. It's a fun, surprisingly creative piece of branded content that works as a genuine music experience. The fact that it's a McDonald's ad and still worth watching on its own says something.
