Nissin Foods Cup Noodles “Attack on Mystery Meat” Edition
A collaboration commercial with the popular anime Attack on Titan.
Released online on June 11, 2018 as a web-only video for Cup Noodles Smoky Chili Soy Sauce featuring “rare mystery meat.” It shows the Survey Corps members like Eren and Levi acting completely differently from usual—wielding a fork and a kettle as they drive out the mystery meat.
It’ll give you a little chuckle!
Nissin Foods Cup Noodles NO BORDER “Hope” Version
This is a commercial from 2004 that makes viewers reflect on global social issues.
In a certain overseas city, Cup Noodles are lined up in a row to mark the boundary with a neighboring area, and people live their lives without crossing that line.
However, toward the end of the commercial, a boy picks up one of the Cup Noodles forming the boundary and breaks the line, and in the climax, he is shown eating Cup Noodles together with a man who had been on the other side.
The background music for the commercial features Mr.Children’s “Tagatame.” With lyrics that prompt us to think about world peace, the song pairs perfectly with the commercial’s narrative.
Nissin Foods ‘Cup Noodles You Eat in a Bowl: “Super Convenient”’ (version)
This is a commercial that catchily showcases the situations where the Cup Noodles “bowl-to-eat” series shines.
It opens by voicing a consumer concern—“I never know when I’m supposed to eat Cup Noodles in a bowl”—and then presents specific recommended occasions, such as for breakfast, a snack, or as a soup dish alongside a meal.
It’s very easy to understand, and the appearance of the bowl character also adds a sense of friendliness.
Nissin Foods Cup Noodles “HUNGRY K” Version
Airing from December 31, 2017, this commercial features professional tennis player Kei Nishikori during a season when he was plagued by injuries and steadily continued his training.
It portrays him as having a hungrier spirit than any other player as he works toward a comeback.
The music was provided by audioforce from Berlin, a regular in the commercial song scene.
Nissin Foods Cup Noodles This one-of-a-kind flavor in the world “GLAY” version
It was released in 1997 as GLAY’s 12th single.

Since August 25, 2010, it has been used in Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodles commercials.
Nissin Foods Cup Noodles This flavor is one-of-a-kind in the world: “MISIA” Edition
This is a parody version, created specifically for this commercial, of a famous MISIA song that is widely used and loved in various contexts.
