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!
I Don’t Want to Miss a ThingAerosmith
A song by the American rock band Aerosmith, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and still influencing artists around the world.
In addition to being featured in Nissin Cup Noodles’ “HUNGRY DAYS: Final Episode” commercial, it’s a globally famous number as the theme song for the film Armageddon.
From the intro, the arrangement evokes grandeur, and Steven Tyler’s one-of-a-kind vocals are truly moving.
It’s a dramatic rock ballad whose achievement of the band’s first No.
1 on the U.
S.
singles chart feels entirely deserved.

Number one punk!The Cro-Magnons
A track by The Cro-Magnons, formed by members who previously belonged to famous bands such as THE BLUE HEARTS, SADS, and Gargoyle.
The song was used in Nissin Cup Noodles’ “Gundam” commercial, and its punchy yet loose vocals paired with tight instrumentation really amp up the energy.
As you watch the scene of Gundam standing up with a kettle in hand, you can’t help but feel a sense of exhilaration, as if something new is about to begin.
It’s a number that captures the excitement typical of Cup Noodles commercials, which are always a hot topic.
Monday MondayGinji Ito
A song released in 1989 was used as the theme for a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, and since then, with a wide range of talents, they have been active as a songwriter, arranger, and music producer for many artists.
Their most famous work is the theme song for Waratte Iitomo!.
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.
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.
Broken-winged angelAyumi Nakamura
This is the third single by singer-songwriter Ayumi Nakamura, who is still active today as a female rock singer known for her unforgettable, distinctive husky voice.
Released as the song for a Nissin Cup Noodles TV commercial aired in 1985, it became Nakamura’s biggest hit and her signature track.
In 1991, it was also used as the main theme for the coming-of-age film “Tsubasa no Oretai Angel,” which featured many of her songs.
With lyrics that depict the bittersweetness and inner conflicts of youth and a boldly rock-inflected vocal performance, it’s a refreshing number that stands as a hallmark of the 1980s J-pop scene.
