"HUNGRY DAYS" Part 3 Masuo summons his courage and confesses to Sazae!
Nissin Foods began airing the third installment of its Cup Noodle TV commercial series "HUNGRY DAYS," the "Sazae-san" edition, starting November 22 (Good Couples Day).
Since 2017, Cup Noodle has been supporting people living their blue, hot, and hungry youth days under the theme of "Youth (Aoharu)". The series has previously aired both "Kiki's Delivery Service" and "Heidi, Girl of the Alps". It attracted a lot of attention, with the videos receiving over 10 million views on the internet.
The third installment featured Sazae-san, the main character of the nationally beloved manga "Sazae-san," and her husband, Masuo.
The commercial's story is based on the "public matchmaking" episode from the 1958 original manga, but set in the present day. In the original, the two meet at a department store for a matchmaking session, but a large crowd of shoppers gathers around them, and they end up getting married on the spot out of embarrassment.
The commercial's setting is a modern-day school festival bustling with high school students. For Masuo and Sazae, it's their last high school event. Memories of happy times spent with Sazae flash through Masuo's mind like a kaleidoscope. Resolved, Masuo takes the stage before the watching crowd and publicly confesses his feelings to Sazae. What will Sazae's answer be...?
Don't miss the brief appearances by Sazae's parents, Namihei and Fune, along with Katsuo, Wakame, and the cat Tama.
Character design is by Eisaku Kubonouchi, with the theme song "Commemorative Photo" by BUMP OF CHICKEN. Keeping the lineup from the first installment of the series, the voice cast features Yū Wakui and Nobunaga Shimazaki, active in anime and film, portraying a "Sazae-san" unknown to anyone.
