Born-Free SpiritRoveBard
ROVE BARD was a trio of childhood friends from Nemuro, Hokkaido, and they have since disbanded.
Their songs, which blended rock and pop, were notable, and they scored a smash hit when one was featured in a Nissin “Cup Noodles” commercial.
It’s unfortunate that they had no major activities after that.
Only YouTHE PLATTERS
This is a song by The Platters released in the United States in 1955.
It became a million-seller nationwide, and after being featured as an insert song in the 1973 film American Graffiti, it gained widespread fame in Japan through a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial that showed only hot water being poured, playing on the phrase “only hot water.”
Canon
Cup Noodles Miso was such a hit that production couldn’t keep up, leading to a temporary sales halt.
The commercial has also drawn attention for featuring Kizuna AI—the self-proclaimed world’s first virtual YouTuber—appearing in a miso storehouse.
Pachelbel’s “Canon,” a song beloved worldwide, is arranged with a Japanese flair themed around miso, using koto and shakuhachi for a beautifully rendered version of the Canon.
Dance With YouOKAMOTO’S
A four-piece rock band, OKAMOTO’S, formed by classmates from their junior high school days and named because all members are fans of the famous artist Taro Okamoto, released this as their seventh single.
The song was featured in Nissin Cup Noodles’ “Baka-Kakkoii” commercial, and as the title suggests, it’s an upbeat number with a dance-inducing beat that gets your energy up.
You can enjoy arrangements that showcase the band’s high level of musicianship—four-on-the-floor rhythm, a prominent bassline, and guitar work that switches between tight and loose.
It’s a catchy rock tune with a repeating phrase that sticks in your head.
Is there still anything that love can do?RADWIMPS
A song by the rock band RADWIMPS created for director Makoto Shinkai’s feature-length animated film Weathering With You.
Like Zenzenzense, which became a massive hit as an insert song for the social phenomenon Your Name, this track achieved broad recognition among listeners with an impact rivaling the film itself.
Its presence was just as strong in Nissin Cup Noodles’ commercial “Weathering With You: Important Scene,” where the distinctive lyrics that evoke a scene from the movie and the gentle vocals added color to the ad.
It’s a number whose catchy melancholy feels pleasant—one you’ll want to keep listening to.

Crimson CoordinatesLinked Horizon
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!
Prefacemakaroni enpitsu
Macaroni Enpitsu is a band that’s rapidly rising in popularity.
Their vocals alone brighten your mood—such a charming band! Their song “Hashirigaki,” released in April 2021, was written as the theme song for the movie Crayon Shin-chan: Shrouded in Mystery! The Flowers of Tenkasu Academy.
The brisk band sound lifts your spirits, too.
If you listen closely, you’ll hear playful touches scattered throughout the track, making it a song you’ll want to replay again and again.
They even did a collaborative live stream with Cup Noodles!
