A new TV commercial has been released, continuing the legacy of that "U.F.O. Mask Yakisoba!"
Nissin Foods began airing a new commercial for its Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O. "Extreme" series on March 11th, titled "Extreme! Yakisoba Boy."
The Extreme series continues the lineage of the "U.F.O. Mask Yakisoban!" series aired in the 1990s, revived as a new series in March 2016. In this commercial, actor Taishi Nakagawa plays the role of "Sauce" in his youth, who transforms into "U.F.O. Mask Yakisoba Boy." Veteran actor Hiroshi Fujioka plays the role of "Legend Kuroobi," who appears as Yakisoba Boy's partner.
Forgotten by all and at rock bottom, the "Demon King" who wishes for yakisoba's destruction uses a beam to incinerate the Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O. stalls lined up at an amusement park. As people flee in panic, Sauce and Legend rush to the scene and challenge the Demon King to battle. Sauce transforms into Yakisoba Boy, Legend transforms into a motorcycle, and they unleash their special move, "Extreme!" The outcome of this fierce battle...
Regarding the commercial, Nakagawa commented, "Since childhood, I've always admired heroes, so this was truly exciting. As an actor and as a person, I aspire to become a cool adult like Mr. Fujioka." Fujioka added, "I was concerned the story developed quickly, but filming went smoothly, which was a relief. I also enjoyed acting out the transformation into the motorcycle."
The commercial can be viewed on the product website ( http://www.nissin-ufo.jp/ ).
