The short is part of McDonald’s new “Crew ni Narō. Campaign” (Join the Crew. Campaign) to attract part-time restaraunt staff members. It depicts the coming-of-age of a new crew member named Sumire.

AKB48 idol group member Yui Yokoyama, AKB48 Team 8 member Rin Okabe, and other members voice the characters. There is a different version of the short for each region of Japan, and the AKB48 Team 8 members voice Sumire in each version. There are already different versions for Kansai, Tohoku, and Shikoku.

Studio Colorido (Taifū no Noruda) animated the shorts. Studio Colorido has previously animated ads for the Puzzle & Dragons mobile game, the “Ryōtei no Aji” commercials for food manufacturer Marukome’s instant miso soup, and the 10th anniversary special animation for Fuji TV‘s Noitamina block, “Poulette Chair.”
