■”The set (for the commercial) was also amazing.” (Yuta Kishi) “If you look at it from a dim view, it’s like a trip! “You’ve been making a fuss for a while now, Kishi-kun.” (Yuta Jinguji)
McDonald’s new TV commercial “Let’s eat plenty!” featuring Number_i! The “Year-end Party” edition will begin airing on November 19th.
The new TV commercial features Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguuji, and Yuta Kishi with the message, “Let’s have a lot!” This time, while looking back on a year in which they had a lot of “naughty” at the year-end party, they serve Chicken McNuggets and a limited time offer. The content depicts people enjoying the sauce “to the fullest”.
This time as well, please pay attention to the lighthearted interaction between the three and how they will further increase their cohesiveness as they look towards 2025.
[New TVCM Overview]
Three members of Number_i are having a year-end party in a cottage where it is snowing, eating “Chicken McNuggets” with limited-time sauces (“rich garlic beef steak sauce” and “scallop clam chowder sauce”). While looking back on the year, including summer photos and photos from the dressing room, the three of them talk about their “lots of missed” memories. “Let’s have a lot of fun next year!!”, the three of us are working to further strengthen our unity as we look towards 2025. Number_i was enjoying the Chicken McNuggets and limited-time sauce to the fullest until winter, saying things like, “It’s a lot,” “It’s love,” and “It’s love!”
[Photography episode]
■I was impressed by the beautiful scenery outside the window and the special effects that depicted snow!
Following the Golden Week and summer campaigns, the three members of Number_i will appear in a TV commercial for Chicken McNuggets. When they arrived at the studio and finished their meeting with the director, they entered the cottage art set and looked surprised at the vast snowy landscape outside the window. Hirano and Kishi were moved and said, “Wow, that’s amazing!” and Jinguji, who witnessed the special effects of falling snow, also looked happy and asked, “Is it really going to snow!?” While the three of them sat on the sofa and stood by, they looked back repeatedly and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
■Jinguji Temple, where you will be impressed by the “serious scallop” taste, and Hirano looking at it
In the scene where he eats Chicken McNuggets, Jinguji looks back on 2024 and says, “I ate a lot this year too!” and enjoys the limited-time “Scallop Clam Chowder Style Sauce.” When the first take, which also served as a camera test, was finished, and the cut signal came in, he reacted with excitement, saying, “It’s seriously delicious! Seriously scallops!” Hirano, who was sitting next to him, said, “… Seriously scallops!? ”, he said in shock, but his eyes were fixed on Jinguji’s hand. Hirano looked at Jinguji’s impressed expression, saying, “It’s a flavor that defies all common sense of clam chowder I’ve ever had.” Hirano looked at him with a bit of envy.
■Hirano can’t help but smile as the shore approaches
In the scene where Jinguji and Hirano exchange words such as “You’ve had a lot of fun this year too!” and “You’ve laughed a lot!”, Kishi says “You laughed a lot!!”, and the director says, “This scene… Then, the reaction will be important,” said Hirano, who was expected to have great expectations. However, Hirano did not show any pressure and enthusiastically took on the challenge of filming, saying, “Please leave it to me! Please let me do it!” Kishi, on the other hand, also put in a powerful performance, and the distance between the two became too close, and there was a scene where Hirano laughed and said, “Huh? Were they really that close!? (lol)”
■A splendid action by three people in unison. Robot dance also performed
The final scene in which Hirano, Jinguji, and Kishi all stand together and say, “Let’s go hard!!” is a highlight of Number_i’s excellent teamwork. The three of them received an order to shoot several scenes that included improvised pretend movements and actions, and in addition to their perfectly synchronized movements, they also performed robot dances to liven up the atmosphere in the studio.
■ Kishi had a good laugh and felt “the biggest sense of accomplishment of the day”
In the scene of taking a snapshot of memories looking back on the past year, the three members of Number_i stood in front of the camera with relaxed expressions and chatted happily as usual. They were posing in a friendly atmosphere, but Hirano and Jinguuji were thrilled when Kishi kept trying to eat the Chicken McNuggets that Hirano was holding. After finishing all the filming, Kishi smiled and gave a strong fist pump while commenting, “I feel the greatest sense of accomplishment today! (lol).”
