The 39-second video that ate the internet was just the appetizer.

When Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O. hit its 50th anniversary in May, Crypton dropped a short 39-second clip of Hatsune Miku performing "Ievan Polkka (U.F.O. 50th Anniversary Remix)" while firing a sauce beam. It did what viral clips do: it multiplied. That clip has now crossed 15 million views across social platforms — and Crypton has decided the world wasn't ready for just 39 seconds of it.

Tomorrow night, the full-length version premieres.

『VOCALOID6 はちゅねミクに「Ievan Polkka(日清焼そばU.F.O.50周年 Remix)」を歌わせてみた』 — "We had VOCALOID6 Hachune Miku sing 'Ievan Polkka (U.F.O. 50th Anniversary Remix)'" — premieres on YouTube on Saturday, September 19 at 19:00 JST (10:00 UTC / 7:00am ET). It's the anniversary clip rebuilt into a proper full track, and this time it's a true co-creation rather than a corporate one-off:

Built around the Project Circles community (a circle of Miku fans) giving the whole thing its signature "ぶっ濃い" — super thick — sauce energy.

To mark the premiere, the collab's illustration & music contest results were also published, and the entries were apparently full of humor. A DJ mix of the winning works is in production and will be released later.

I've watched the 39-second version enough times that I'm genuinely ready for the full thing. One virtual popstar, one fifty-year-old cup noodle, and an internet that refused to let either of them sit down. See you at the premiere — sauce beam style.
