Brief Explanation

Since its debut, Cup Noodle has been filling numerous young stomachs, providing a source of energy for their lives. In the modern world, the youths are faced with a huge, unprecedented change with globalization, technological progress, etc. The message of the campaign, “Survive!”, was developed with our hope for the younger generation to overcome these challenges, even when confronted by difficulties. (The origin of the word survive comes from the Latin word supervivere (above, beyond + to live) which reflects our concept.) The stories chosen for the TV commercials are all contemporary relevant, being about work, romance and irritating social network behavior, things that the youth can easily identify with. Each situation is enhanced for humor, purposefully staged on an epic scale to emphasize the gap between image and dialogue. Our wish to support the younger generation has been received just as passionately, generating much buzz and overwhelming feedback.
