Nissin Foods Cup Noodles HUNGRY DAYS ‘Is this youth or what?’ Edition
This is the 2017 “HUNGRY DAYS” series collaboration commercial with Kiki’s Delivery Service.
It remakes the Ghibli classic in the style of a coming-of-age anime, depicting the romance between Kiki and Tombo as high school students.
Even though the setting differs from the original, the anime draws you into its world seamlessly, giving it a uniquely captivating charm.
The background music features BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Kinen Satsuei” (“Commemorative Photo”), a memorable track with refreshing sound and lyrics that seem to portray the hearts of young people in their youth.
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.
The song became GLAY’s first million-selling hit, and it sparked a streak in which their next five singles also sold over a million copies.
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.
The original song has been covered by many artists across different dramas and generations, but this parody, like the original, features a beautiful, soaring vocal performance that is in no way inferior to MISIA’s own rendition.
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 “Gundam” Version
A track by The Cro-Magnons, formed by members who previously belonged to famous bands such as THE BLUE HEARTS, SADS, and Gargoyle.
The song was used in Nissin Cup Noodles’ “Gundam” commercial, and its punchy yet loose vocals paired with tight instrumentation really amp up the energy.
As you watch the scene of Gundam standing up with a kettle in hand, you can’t help but feel a sense of exhilaration, as if something new is about to begin.
It’s a number that captures the excitement typical of Cup Noodles commercials, which are always a hot topic.
