[Cup Noodles Commercial] Popular CM songs. Historical CM songs [2026] (41–50)
Original songIgarashi Yuya, Sato Arata
The song featured in the “Squid-Repelling Dance” commercial starring actress Sara Minami is seriously addictive, isn’t it? I heard that Yuiya Igarashi, who’s known as a fundoshi dancer and creates original music, did the choreography.
The oriental vibe and high addictiveness make it stick in your head, and the impact is off the charts.
In the “Summer Means Seafood” version that aired in the summer of 2020, he danced together with actor Arata Sato.
I feel like this year’s arrangement is a bit milder compared to 2020.
Apparently, it’s similar to the INDIAN VERSION of ‘PPAP,’ so definitely try enjoying them together.
You might just get a taste of India, for sure.
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.
Chururi chururiradenpagumi.inc
“Chururi Chururira” is a song released by Dempagumi.inc in 2014.
It was used as the CM song for Cup Noodles commercials introducing aspects of Japanese culture, such as the “Modern Samurai” version likening glow sticks to contemporary swords, and the “Kabe-don” version.
The sound is packed with Hyadain’s signature style—so much so that you instantly think, “Ah, that’s him.” Overflowing with a comical, Japanese-style atmosphere set in the Sengoku period, it’s an uptempo track that was even promoted as having the fastest BPM in Dempagumi.inc’s history.
The clear contrast between stillness and motion creates a driving energy that sweeps you away.
Heads or TailsEXILE
Heads or Tails is the lead track from EXILE’s 2018 album STAR OF WISH.
It was also used as the theme song for Nissin Cup Noodles’ commercial “Yabai, Nanka Atsui: SNS Sengoku Jidai,” which portrayed political intrigue in the world of HIGH&LOW.
The song was produced by STY, who worked on the 24karats series.
It’s a track that steadily stokes your fighting spirit, striking a superb balance between EXILE’s power and melodiousness.
The distinctive vocal intensity of ATSUSHI, TAKAHIRO, SHOKICHI, and NESMITH—each with their own style—is seriously cool, too!
Hungry PrideMakishimamu Za Horumon
This is a commercial for the product “Kotteri Nice,” which is rich yet low in calories.
Ryokun from Maximum the Hormone has been appointed as the product’s outsider advertising agent.
They gathered 800 “Harapeko” (the nickname for Maximum the Hormone fans) for the shoot, and Ryokun himself handled the editing.
The unreleased song “Hungry Pride” is used.
I can’t wait to hear the whole thing—and to see it live!
Number one punk!Za Kuromaniyonzu
This commercial, aired in 2011, was a collaboration with the movie Star Wars and features Yoda.
It’s a compelling ad with a powerful message, as Yoda speaks about the importance of believing in oneself.
The background music is “Number One Guy!” by The Cro-Magnons.
Released in 2011, the song’s lyrics describe repeatedly getting back up and striving to become number one, making it an uplifting anthem that gives listeners courage.
Original song (Yay, you’re dazzling, Naomi~) shoutZa gojuukaitenzu
This commercial, shot in monochrome, depicts a one-on-one showdown between Naomi Osaka and Kei Nishikori.
Seeing two athletes together—especially with an atmosphere hinting at a serious clash—gets your heart racing and glues your eyes to the screen, doesn’t it? The music that colors the direction is by The 50 Kaitenz.
From the very beginning, they throw in shouts that inject a sense of dynamism.
