Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O. 50th Anniversary Video Stars Hachune Miku

Crypton released a chaotic commemorative video for the 50th anniversary of Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O., featuring Hachune Miku and other virtual singers, with a parody remix of "Ievan Polkka" by Namiguru and video production by Watapy.

Crypton Co., Ltd. released a video on May 21 titled "Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O. 50th Anniversary vs Hachune Miku" to mark the exact 50th anniversary of the instant noodle product's launch in 1976. The official Hatsune Miku account used the deformed Hachune Miku design, which originated from a 2007 Nico Nico Douga video of Miku singing "Ievan Polkka" while waving a leek. The new video is a parody remix of that same folk song, produced by Namiguru, who previously worked on the chaotic Hatsune Miku Thai Nissin Food CM series. Video production was handled by Watapy, a MAD video creator known for using the "song that plays when Suneo brags" as material. The clip also features Kagamine Rin/Len, Megurine Luka, KAITO, MEIKO, and, for reasons not explained, Zundamon from VOICEVOX.
