This commercial may or may not be a direct parody of Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! but it is certainly evocative of our favorite male-cheerleader-based rhythm game. And it performs a public service!
If you watch this ad for Nissin's UFO ramen bowls, you'll learn an important life lesson about without having to pay the no-doubt exorbitant tuition required to attend the "UFO man school." The lesson is as follows: finish your freaking noodle bowl if you value your life.
True story time! When we were in college (not that long ago!) you couldn't get these things in American grocery stores like you can now. We ordered a bunch of Japanese food online, and had a horrible allergic reaction to one of these noodle bowls. Delicious noodles, though!
The video is posted after the break, with no further embarrassing personal anecdotes.

Gotta love those instant soups.
Haven't *really* played Ouendan or EBA (Well, a friend let me borrow Ouendan a bit, but I really didn't understand what to do, and he kept on laughing at me failing >_>), but I liked the ad.

Isn't Coach Underpants the Captain from Godzilla: Final Wars?? Or maybe it's just the mustache.

For those who were wondering, the guy doing the ass-kicking is Don Frye, a UFC/Pride fighter.

I'm in Japan right now, and that is on all the time. It's one of the best ones I've seen here. But I'm pretty sure that is Yakisoba and not ramen, as I've never seen UFO ramen.

Definitely yakisoba. I eat those all the time, with or without Don Frye yelling at me.
