It has been revealed that the seven-member girl group "XG" will be appearing in McDonald's new TV commercials that began airing on February 10th, including "Order from your seat with mobile order," "Get excited with a fries coupon," and "Delivered to your home." This will be XG's first TV commercial appearance.
This commercial promotes the new streaming content "#RealTaiMakupa" (starting February 19th), which lets you feel like you're at a party while eating McDonald's food with your favorite idol. The commercial shows members dressed in unique alien styles having "#RealTaiMakupa" with alien ALPHAZ (a collective term for XG fans) at a "McDonald's GALAXY store" in space.
XG will appear in the first episode of "#RealTimeMcPa" on the 19th and hold a "potato party" where they eat McDonald's French fries. It will be live streamed on McDonald's official TikTok and official YouTube. While eating fries, the members will talk about the behind-the-scenes story of the commercial and the app-only content that will be released in the future.
In addition, a limited-time pop-up event called "McDonald's GALAXY Exhibition" that recreates the world of the TV commercial will be held at Harajuku Hakkakukan (Shibuya Ward, Tokyo) from the 19th to the 23rd. Special items that can only be seen here will be on display, such as the costumes worn by the members in the commercial and behind-the-scenes shots from the filming.
XG will debut with their first single "Tippy Toes" in March 2022. They are active globally, becoming the first Japanese artist to rank first on the US Billboard chart "Hot Trending Songs Powered by Twitter" and the first Japanese girl group to appear on the cover of the US "Billboard" magazine. Starting in 2024, they will hold their first world tour in about 30 cities around the world. They will be the only Japanese artist to appear at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, one of the largest music festivals in the US, which will be held in April this year.
