Nissin Foods Cup Noodles SURVIVE: Battle with the Real Beasts

Nissin Cup Noodles CM: “Battle with the Real Beasts”

The SURVUVE series episode “Battle with the Real-Beast” depicts facing difficulties with a comedic touch.

It plays on the slang riajuu—short for “having a fulfilling real life,” meaning someone with a rich private life—by portraying them as “real beasts.” In the commercial, the real beast is a shark reminiscent of Jaws, depicted as an obnoxious riajuu who flaunts how great their personal life is.

The sharply cynical tone is highly relatable and is sure to make you chuckle.

Ryukakusan Throat Refreshing Tablets: ‘Master and Disciple’ VersionShinosuke Tatekawa, Harunosuke Tatekawa

[CM] Ryukakusan Throat Refreshing Tablets “Master and Apprentice” 15-second spot — Ryukakusan Co., Ltd.

This commercial portrays an exchange between Shinosuke Tatekawa and Harunosuke Tatekawa as master and apprentice around the phrase “Are you taking me lightly?” while also promoting a throat-refreshing tablet.

He forcefully denies that he’s “belittling” his master, yet it turns out he’s actually “licking” a throat-refreshing tablet in his mouth—the story unfolds around these two meanings of “nameru” (to belittle/to lick).

The light, snappy dialogue and the pair’s changing expressions clearly convey a fun, lively atmosphere.
