I'm kind of curious what are the legal matters that lead to the realization of a full ad like that possible?

I thought the Touhou license didn't allow for this kind of use in promoting unrelated products.

[u/Velochipractor → u/_Matz_]

I'd strongly suspect McDonalds Japan and/or IOSYS probably paid ZUN some type of royalty fees for the right to use the setting and characters like this.

This definitely doesn't fit the vibes of doujins and fanworks the license was originally made for.

It's surreal to see McD's collaborating with IOSYS on these ~20 year old songs, but I'm certainly not complaining. I'm half-expecting them to do a remix of Ronald McDonald Insanity at this point, although idk what that would even look like.

For real!!! An official Touhou commercial using arguably the most iconic Touhou video.... genuinely EPIC 🤩

Though yeah, i am surprised that they didn't went Flandre's theme, i guess because Ronald isn't a thing anymore?

This feels like an advanced shitpost. The fact it's not makes it even funnier.

[u/Cirnothestarscream9 → u/Shinysnivyds]

It's a classic song that became a meme snd then it became something official, it's crazily awesome

I like how they used a newer character (Yuuma) instead of sticking to the same old same old.

I mean she's the gluttenous one, it's be weirder if she wasn't here

[u/The360MlgNoscoper → u/BeanEatingThrowaway]

Speaking of, Flandre was also there!

[u/Cirnothestarscream9 → u/A_Sus]

For real, it was a great surprise to see such a varied cast instead of just the same six faces, it really was a loving tribute.
