How do you get the one with the fighter jets?Such an unnecessary flourish in Shenmue II but one I love so much. It’s a little thing that adds so much flavour and atmosphere.

For those who don't know, Empire is a movie magazine in the UK. It's a pretty popular one, but one that focuses waaaaaay too much on the mainstream (I believe there is a lot of pro-superhero bias). Still, it's a good platform to highlight Shenmue.
Last time they did this, Shenmue II made #51

Wow great find! I had no idea it was so similar to a real jingle.Tomato Convience Store's slogan is based off of the Family Mart Convience Store slogan, founded in Japan in the year 1973.
You can hear some of their themes but the introduction to the one in question is at 0:19.

For non-Japanese speakers: although the lyrics sound identical apart from the name, they are slightly different:
Family Mart version: "Anata to conbi ni, Family Mart" (In tandem with you, Family Mart)
vs
Tomato Convenience Store: "Anata no conbini, Tomato Mart" (Your convenience store, Tomato Mart).
