You know you've been in Japan too long when you realise you've seen that on TV already and didn't bat an eyelid...

I had to stop at the zombie part.  I think I'll stick with green tea.

I kind of thought there was a crying game moment coming there! Channeling gumby acid trips there...

For me it seems a bit hard to decode, but at least i have the chicken ramen tram from Kato. It's much more peaceful, except maybe the one chicken that is eating the chicken ramen...

I'm here now for only a few years and my first thoughts were when I saw this commercial: "Ah yes, another high-budget, awesomely directed Nissin commercial." Their previous ones, parodying business etiquette were a bit more entertaining, but this one is certainly far more impressive in an artistic way.

But it has zombies!

Since Pockymon Go was introduced, that's perfectly normal.

Nothing screams contemporary Japan more than Zombies! I especially enjoyed the little detail of the zombies trying to get attention at the very end of the advertisement, while their target is slurping noodles.

Ramen is brains! Oh sorry that's Solyent green is people, wrong genre...
