Official interview with the cast] *Honorifics omitted.

What did you think when you were asked about the "Noodle Eating Call" project?

Suwabe: "Are you serious, Nissin Foods? I thought, "NISSIN FOODS, are you serious? I said, "Of course, I'll do it!　I mean, let me do it! Needless to say, I readily agreed. It's great!

Hanae: I lived in a world that had nothing to do with calling, so I was curious to see what it would be like. I am grateful to Nissin Foods for letting me call.

Masuda: Nissin Foods is always challenging new things in their TV commercials, so I felt that this was one of their new attempts.

What was your impression of the character you played this time?

Suwabe: A proud number one. Behind that is a tireless effort ....... Although he seems to have such a stoic backbone, he is, after all, a charlatan. If you get into him, you will definitely be unhappy (laugh). Still, I highly recommend it for those who seek stimulation.

Hanae ： Since the character has two sides to him, I think you will be lured in and hooked before you know it. It is truly a drop in the bucket ......!

Masuda ： Brappé was exactly spicy like black pepper. I was also conscious of playing him as a dangerous man more than the other two in order to make you feel it.

Masuda: ─I know you don't usually sing calls, but how did you feel when you sang this time?　Also, do you think you could eat a cup of noodles with this "noodle-eating call"?

Suwabe: It's frustrating, but the tension is MAX! I feel adrenaline, dopamine, and other things are flowing out of me. I feel like I could eat endless cup noodles.

Hanae ： As long as you have the call, you can do it indefinitely. Call is the best!　Wooooo!

Masuda: Not so much, or rather, I did it for the first time (laughs). Calling is part of the song, isn't it? I hope everyone who watches this video will be interested in the ethnic series.

──What would you think if there was actually a host club like this?

Suwabe: I wouldn't go there. I'm not interested in men.

Hanae ： I would go there every day!　The calls are the best!　Hooooo!　Hooooo ！！！！

Masuda ： Cup noodles more than alcohol. More cup noodles than snacks. Cup Noodles for the end, of course. I think it's very good, economical and healthy.

Suwabe: Lastly, what do you think of the reincarnated Cup Noodle Ethnic Series?

Suwabe: I thought the "Tom Yam Kung Noodle" had a more than authentic flavor, but I think the flavor of the pak choi has been upgraded to give it a fresher feel. It is high quality.

Hanae ： The "Singaporean-style laksa" was very creamy and delicious on the palate, with a tangy and spicy flavor that became addictive afterwards. It was very tasty and warmed me up from the very beginning!

Masuda: I had the opportunity to sample the "Black Pepper Club" before its release. It has a soy sauce base, black pepper, crab, and a spicy flavor that is tangy but not heavy, so I think it is easy for both men and women to enjoy. Personally, I like crab cakes in seafood noodles, so I was very happy to find them in this product as well.
