[Cup Noodles Commercial Songs] Popular CM tracks. Historical CM songs [2026] (41–50)
CHANGE YOURSELF!Hotei Tomoyasu
It was released in 1997 as Tomoyasu Hotei’s 15th single.
After BOØWY disbanded, Hotei experimented with various sounds, but this track is notable for bringing the BOØWY sound to the forefront.
The song was created for a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, in which Hotei himself also appeared.
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
It was released in 1991 as Yutaka Ozaki’s 11th single.
It is said that the song was hastily put together to make up for a shortage of tracks on the album.
More recently, it drew attention when his son, Hiroya Ozaki, covered and performed it.
In 2001, it was featured in a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial.
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.
Original song
This is an introduction commercial for the Cup Noodles “Kuse-uma” series.
The video features laid-back, quirky illustrations, and to the tune of a parody of SUSHIBOYS’ song “OMG,” it highlights the unique appeal of each product in the lineup.
Both the BGM and the animation of these illustrations have an addictive charm, resulting in a video you’ll want to watch over and over once you’ve seen it.
“OMG,” the BGM, is one of SUSHIBOYS’ signature tracks; set to the familiar folk dance tune “Oklahoma Mixer,” it delivers distinctive rap with a highly addictive quality that sticks in your head after just one listen.
flopnikPEOPLE 1
Did you know there’s a drawing of a cat on the underside of the lid of Nissin Cup Noodles? This commercial announces a campaign where, if you photograph the cat on the underside of the lid with your smartphone, you can keep the cat on your phone.
A parody version of PEOPLE 1’s “Fropnik” is used as the BGM.
It’s a track with an unforgettable, addictive beat once you hear it!
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!
ff (fortissimo)HOUND DOG
This is the 10th single by HOUND DOG, the rock band centered around rock singer Yasuhira Otomo, who now frequently appears on variety shows.
The song was used in a 1985 Nissin Cup Noodles commercial and is known as one of HOUND DOG’s signature tracks, with fans traditionally joining in a sing-along at live shows.
In 2016, a parody version sung by Otomo himself was featured in a JA Bank commercial, so you’ve probably still heard it in various places.
Beyond its catchy chorus, the striking intro also gets you pumped—an enduring classic from years past.
