[Video] Aoi Miyazaki appeared as an extra in a Happy Meal commercial as a child, and now she's the "face" of McDonald's. "My mother was very happy."

Actress Aoi Miyazaki appeared on stage at McDonald's Japan's new product launch event, "2025 Tsukimi Family Announcement Event," held in Tokyo on August 25th. She spoke about her memories of McDonald's.

Miyazaki, who appeared in a yellow blouse and blue bottoms, introduced the key points of her outfit, saying, "It's moon viewing, so I'm wearing a yellow outfit...and I even have moons in my ears (earrings)."

Miyazaki, who has appeared in various McDonald's commercials since 2022, was introduced as the "face of McDonald's." When asked about her memories with McDonald's, she said with a smile, "When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I appeared as an extra in a Happy Meal commercial. (When I was chosen to appear in a commercial again) I told my mother, 'I'm appearing in a commercial for the first time in 30 years,' and she was so happy, and that connection has led to me being treated so well, so I'm glad I kept going."

Miyazaki, who will be appearing in the new TV commercial for the "Tsukimi" series that will begin airing on September 2nd, said, "Last year (in the Tsukimi commercial), I played the role of Princess Kaguya, but this year's commercial is a gentler one that is more in touch with modern people. I think it's a commercial that will give everyone a push."

The comedy duo Joyman, who Miyazaki had expressed a desire to meet, also appeared at the event. They even performed Joyman's new gag, "Delicious Jiangshi."

Starting September 3rd, McDonald's Japan will be releasing eight limited-time products, including the "Tsukimi Burger," which has its sauce revamped for the first time in eight years, the new burger "Toro Uma Sukiyaki Tsukimi," and new sweets "Anko Butter and Mochi Tsukimi Pie" and "Tsukimi McShake Yamanashi Prefecture Shine Muscat Flavor."
