Number_i, the popular Japanese idol group, is set to air their latest television commercial for McDonald’s featuring the Chicken McNuggets campaign starting December 17, 2024. This advertisement, titled “Chicken McNugget 30 Pieces ‘Let’s Go Plenty!’ Year-End Party Version,” showcases members Shoyo Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuto Kishi as they reflect on their past year over a festive year-end meal.
The commercial takes place within the cozy confines of a snow-covered cottage, where the trio celebrates their memories by enjoying Chicken McNuggets paired with various dipping sauces. The idyllic wintery scene is contrasted with nostalgic summer photographs, setting the stage for what has been described as both a humorous and sentimental reflection. The tagline “Let’s Go Plenty!” resonates throughout their gathering, highlighting not just the abundance of food but the importance of revisiting joyful memories together.
“This year we also ate plenty, right?” says Jinguji, leading his friends to smile as they recall their shared experiences throughout the year. This simple yet impactful interaction among the members emphasizes the comfort food theme of the ad, bringing patrons of McDonald’s closer to the moments of joy surrounding their meals.
Hirano adds with enthusiasm, “We definitely had plenty of sauce, didn’t we?”, facilitating laughter and camaraderie, illustrating how meals can weave together threads of connection. The conversation culminates with Kishi's inspired call, “Let’s eat plenty next year too!”, which encapsulates the promise of continuing this tradition through 2025.
McDonald’s has capitalized on the nostalgia factor with this year-end campaign, inviting customers to indulge not only with the Chicken McNuggets but also alongside new sauce offerings. The promotion highlights two special limited-time sauces available only during their campaign: the rich, deeply flavored Garlic Beef Steak Sauce, and the Chowder-Style Scallop Sauce, crafted to tantalize taste buds and satisfy the festive appetite.
The Chicken McNuggets 30-piece deal, which includes the customer’s choice of up to six dipping sauces, will be available at special pricing from December 18 through December 25, selling for 950 yen instead of the regular price of 1480 yen, making it particularly enticing for those celebrating the holidays with family and friends.
Complementing the ad, the group’s social media has been buzzing with anticipation as fans express their excitement over the new collaboration, eager to engage with Number_i during this celebratory period. The return of familiar faces—Hirano, Jinguji, and Kishi—brings forth conversations about fond memories and the importance of togetherness, making this campaign not just about the food but more about gathering around the table and revitalizing friendships.
This reminiscent ad underlines Number_i's commitment to sharing good times with fans and fellow group members, emphasizing their slogan “Let’s Go Plenty!” as they nod toward the shared experiences and cherished moments over delectable meals. With the promise of more fun and delicious gatherings next year, fans are left excited about both the culinary adventure and the growth of their beloved trio.
With the season of giving upon us, McDonald's and Number_i's partnership serves as the perfect reminder to relish the simple joys of connection through food, laughter, and companionship. Whether you’re indulging alone or with loved ones around the year-end table, the spirit of togetherness rings clear—let’s embrace the year with plenty of joy, love, and, of course, chicken nuggets!
