Luna Chee gives a cheesy salute to Luna Sea<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a trip back to July of 1994. Early in the month, a narrow-focus mail-order company called Amazon started selling books on the Internet. About two weeks later, Brazil won the FIFA World Cup in a 0-0, decided-on-penalty-kicks match of the sort that had sports fans across the United States scratching their heads over soccer\u2019s worldwide popularity. And then, on the 21st of the month, Japanese rock band Luna Sea<\/strong> released \u201cRosier.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Luna Sea was one of the first visual kei<\/strong> bands to achieve major stardom in Japan, combining the niche genre\u2019s aesthetic flare with a memorable, powerful sound. \u201cRosier\u201d was the latest in a string of hits for the band, and as proof of its enduring popularity, the song\u2019s music video has more than 17 million views on Luna Sea\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n However, it might still come as a surprise to hear that there\u2019s an officially approved, professionally produced cover of \u201cRosier,\u201d with its own music video, that\u2019s just been released<\/strong>. This year is the song\u2019s 21st anniversary, after all, which isn\u2019t exactly the sort of round-number milestone that usually sparks tribute projects.<\/p>\n However, there is a timely reason this release by Luna Chee<\/strong>, as the cover band is called. See if you can spot it.<\/p>\n\n Yep, the \u201cChee chee chee chee chee!\u201d<\/strong> lyrics aren\u2019t just the song\u2019s main hook. They\u2019re a shout-out to the marque ingredients in McDonald\u2019s Japan\u2019s CheeChee DabuChee<\/strong> and CheeChee Teriyaki<\/strong> sandwiches, or, to use their English renderings, the Cheese Cheese Double Cheeseburger and Cheese Cheese Teriyaki McBurger. These are, respectively, enhanced versions of McDonald\u2019s Japan\u2019s regular double cheeseburger and teriyaki burger, but with additional slices of white cheddar to go along with the regular double cheeseburger\u2019s standard cheddar cheese, and slices of both regular and white cheddar for the teriyaki burger.<\/p>\n Despite the silly premise and punny name for the band, it has the official approval of Luna Sea, and Luna Chee\u2019s performers and video creative staff are all completely committed to the bit. Actor Seishiro Kato<\/strong> (whose recent roles include Light in the Death Note: The Musical<\/em> live-action stage play) goes all out on the vocals, and the graphic effects include on-screen declarations that \u201cCheese is the trigger,\u201d \u201cBy the time I knew, I\u2019ve eaten the CheeChee Teriyaki,\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cCheese bless you,\u201d<\/strong> delivered with the gothic angst indicative of visual kei.<\/p>\n The CheeChee DabuChee and CheeChee Teriyaki aren\u2019t regular menu fixtures, and were previously only offered as limited-time items at a limited-number of McDonald\u2019s branches. As of August 20, though, they\u2019re being offered at all McDonald\u2019s Japan locations for the first time<\/strong>, and we made sure to grab one of each as soon as we could.<\/p>\n \u25bc The 550 yen (US$3.70) Cheese Cheese Double Cheeseburger<\/p>\n \u25bc The 520-yen Cheese Cheese Teriyaki McBurger<\/p>\n Our Japanese-language reporter Seiji Nakazawa (who knows a thing or two about edgy music himself<\/a>), dubs both burgers delicious, delivering decadently moist and juicy mouthfuls of cheesy and saucy beef.<\/p>\n However, while the CheeChee DabuChee and CheeChee Teriyaki are no longer limited-location items, they\u2019re still limited-time, and will only be available until September 2. We think we\u2019ll have Luna Chee\u2019s song stuck in our head for much longer than that, though.<\/p>\n Reference: McDonald\u2019s Japan<\/a><\/em> Luna Chee gives a cheesy salute to Luna Sea.
