[Cup Noodles Commercial] Popular Jingle. Historical CM Songs [2026] (21–30)
Virtual InsanityJamiroquai
This is a commercial from the parody song CM series “This Flavor Is One of a Kind in the World,” which aired in 2010.
It features a parody of Jamiroquai’s signature 1996 release “Virtual Insanity,” and many people were likely shocked by it at the time.
The commercial also uses footage from the famous music video, and it may have sparked many viewers’ interest in the song.
kabedon to the faceMayumura Chiaki
A song by singer-songwriter Chiaki Mayumura, who serves as the CEO of Not a Company Inc.
and has garnered attention for tracks that pair unique themes and witty wordplay with catchy melodies.
It’s a parody version of her song “Kaodon,” which depicts the emotional differences between a man and a woman after a breakup, reworked as a commercial jingle for Nissin Cup Noodles.
The lyrics are tailored to Cup Noodles while preserving the original catchiness, and since Mayumura herself sings it, the result feels so natural you might think it was always meant to be this way.
With a powerful hook that sticks in your head after just one listen, it’s an addictive track with a lasting impact.
Original songRyo Nagano (APOGEE), Yasushi Nakatani
The song playing in the “Eight Flavors” version, where various Cup Noodles commercials air simultaneously.
It was created by Ryo Nagano—APOGEE’s vocalist and guitarist, who also worked on Awesome City Club’s hit ‘Wasurena’—together with Yasushi Nakatani.
The contrast between the refreshing cue from actress Sara Minami, who appears in the center of the screen, and the music is striking.
Since multiple spots play at once, various sounds overlap, creating harmonies that almost feel like dissonance—which is fascinating.
It’s tinged with a bit of grandeur.
Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)yukopi
This Nissin Cup Noodles commercial—“Summer? Slurp Seafood.”—really sticks in your ears and eyes.
It sets the idea that cup noodles don’t sell well in the summer to a parody of Vocaloid producer Yukopi’s ‘Gale Headwind (Strong Wind All Back).’ If the ad caught your attention, be sure to listen to the original track too!
Please give me a map.Yusa Mimori
This song was included on Mimori Yusa’s second album, Soramimi no Oka, released in 1988, and it was put out as a single the following year, in 1989.
It didn’t attract much attention at first, but after being used in a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, it suddenly became a hot topic.
I Was Born To Love YouQueen
Here is the controversial piece that boldly turns Queen’s classic “I Was Born To Love You” into a Cup Noodles parody version.
You won’t notice it right at the start, but as you keep watching, you’ll sense that something’s off—and by the time you realize it, you’ll already be captivated by this commercial.
Feel the windHamada Shogo
This is the classic song that became Shogo Hamada’s first hit.
Released in July 1979, it was used as the theme for Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodles commercial.
Although Hamada reportedly felt strong resistance to doing a commercial song, this tie-in ultimately became a major opportunity to bring his music to a wider audience.
Its powerful message—affirming an unbound, free way of life that says “there’s never only one way to live”—deeply resonated with the youth of the time.
When you’re feeling constrained, listening to this song might just make your heart feel a little lighter.
