It is autumn in Japan, and meaning it is time for some moon viewing. Or viewing the moon vicariously with the McDonald’s Japan‘s Tsukimi Burger — a seasonal burger that represents a full moon with an egg patty, together with a beef patty and bacon. It is a staple autumn fast-food merchandise in Japan like pumpkin spice drinks are a staple autumn drink in America. And what higher means is there to benefit from the Tsukimi Burger than to have one whereas watching the McDonald’s and Hololive collaboration live-stream that includes the Vtuber Usada Pekora.
The McDonald’s Japan X (previously Twitter) account teased the collaboration with Usada Pekora on September 13. The submit featured a picture of the complete moon shadowed by a lady with bunny ears and the caption (roughly translated), “I need to eat a Tsukimi Burger peko~”.

An archive of Usada Pekora’s live-stream is on the market on the Pekora YouTube channel. Within the video we see the VTuber introduce the differing types Tsukimi Burgers and taste-test them.
Whereas the selection to do a Tsukimi Burger moon viewing live-stream with the Hololive Vtuber could appear odd at first, it does make some sense. The Vtuber relies on a rabbit, and in Japan, it is historically believed there’s a rabbit on the moon, so it is as if Pekora is viewing her house. Or on the very least it is poetic.
