Watched the first one. I don't know what hell looks like, but I now know what it sounds like.

A battle between spicy and mild, perhaps? Wink

These are kind of uncomfortable to watch, but I do look forward to seeing these things at my local Mitsuwa or other Asian supermarkets. Are they already available? I work right across the street from an Asian supermarket. I might go look for them when I finish.

Japanese food that claims to be spicy, for the most part, is depressingly mild. So I'm curious to see if they really can satisfy chiliheads like myself. At the very least, Yu Serizawa seems to like spicy food, as she ate the whole thing.

Nekomu Otogi eats her pasta with heaps of Tabasco sauce? At least, I heard what sounded like "Tabasco" when the captions read "hot sauce." If she puts as much Tabasco as she claims, she's pretty hardcore.

Yeah, I've also heard that the Japanese taste is sensitive to spicy foods, so it's usually pretty mild compared to other food cultures.

I read the comments before viewing the videos and wondered how exactly they could be uncomfortable to watch. After watching them, I know exactly what you mean lol. It's the camera angles!

Yeah, the first video also has the actress making suggestive sounds and lines in regards to the soup.

I've since tried looking for this in four different Asian supermarkets and haven't found it. Maybe it's too new.

I watched the commercials with the voice actress and the gravure idol and liked them. I might watch the others later.
I do not like spicy food, but if I did these commercials would entice me to try that brand.

I thought that both of those women did a good job, and they seemed to be having fun.

Yeah, they definitely looked like they were having fun. But they made everything so suggestive and kinda awkward, it was a bit uncomfortable sitting through the entire thing. I think they could have been shortened with some good editing. But yeah, they were definitely eye-catching.
