For Whom the Alchemist ExistsMr.Children
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.

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!
Taste of SinMoriyama Naotaro
Cup Noodles BUKKOMI-MESHI, which has gained popularity for its style of throwing rice into leftover ramen broth, is a product that Nissin Foods seriously researched and developed—fully aware of its sinful deliciousness—and it became a hit.
Now that this product has collaborated with Naotaro Moriyama, the result is a profoundly moving and beautiful ballad number that resonates deep in the heart.
Happy Summer WeddingMōningu Musume.
Did the tune from the European-style Cheese Curry commercial catch your ear? Or did it feel familiar from somewhere? It’s actually a parody of one of Morning Musume’s signature songs released in 2000, “Happy Summer Wedding.” It’s the kind of jingle that makes you want to hum along! The original is beloved as a wedding song—a genuinely happy track, just like the title suggests—capturing the feelings right before getting married and gratitude toward one’s parents.
Its cute, slightly surreal vibe—where an oriental mood blends nicely with a sense of fun—also meshes well with the commercial’s atmosphere.
thump-thump; heart pounding; excited/nervousJUDY AND MARY
It was released in 1995 as JUDY AND MARY’s eighth single.
The lyrics were written by YUKI, and the charming words leave a strong impression.
The blazer and checkered pants she often wore further enhanced the cuteness.
It was used as the theme song for Nissin Foods’ “Vegetable Soup Noodle” commercial.
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.
Double Double FIGHT!CANDY TUNE
This commercial has a surreal vibe: the members of CANDY TUNE struggle on a sandy beach to pop squid-shaped balloons, leaving you wondering whether it’s really promoting seafood noodles.
When they can’t pop the balloons, Saori Yoshida appears and rhythmically pops them one after another, heightening the sense of strangeness.
The song that brightly plays within this unique world is CANDY TUNE’s “Baibai FIGHT!,” with lyrics specially arranged for the ad.
Its bouncy sound and cute vocals showcase the appeal of Seafood Noodles and the summer Red Seafood flavor.
