This ad for cup soba noodles is fucking weird. And I can’t stop watching it.

Looks like the adult’s words are going in one ear and out the other until they start talking about the noodles? Can we get a translation, or are there subtitles available?
It’s supposed to be like a sutra, but it’s actually saying, “Soba, Soba, Toshikoshi Soba*, Super-Duper Soba, Prayer for Good Health, Absorb Good Luck, Thick Noodles, Al Dente, Bliss Upon Swallowing, Oni* Oni Oni Mixed Vegetable Tempura…string of gibberish…First Bite Amazement, Turns the Concept on Its Head, Too Delicious LOL, Too Thick LOL, Super-Duper Texture, Super-Duper Shichimi*, Super-Duper Blend Stock, Low Profit Great Sales Corporate Efforts.”
*It is traditional to eat soba just at midnight on New Year’s Eve, so that is what is ostensibly going on here. This is called toshikoshi soba, which means “year crossing soba.”
*Oni means demon, but it’s referring to the style of mixed vegetable tempura.
*Shichimi is a mixture of seven spices (it literally means “seven flavors”) that is often eaten with udon or soba and sometimes eaten with ramen.
The part at the end means “we strive to sell as many of these as possible for little profit,” but it’s written like a sutra.

In court paperwork obtained by WITI, officers said they found 25 dogs, 23 birds (including chickens, ducks, parakeets, a turkey and a macaw), 14 rats, eight hamsters, seven hedgehogs, six lizards, six rabbits, five guinea pigs, four cats, four chinchillas, three tortoises, two alligators, two snakes, a goat, a ferret and a raccoon inside the house.
Rescuers told WISN that removing some of the animals, specifically the long-horned goat, was extremely difficult, as the animal tried to head-butt animal control officers.
“Getting him out of the attic was a challenge, because it’s not like you can put him on a leash,” Sparapani told WISN.

Good thing there wasn’t a cow-cows don’t got no down genes. Goats, on the udder hand, are quite nimble.
