One of the appealing things about the Satofull commercials is that each one connects to the others.

The one I’d like you to watch is the “Winter Gathering” installment.

It’s the third in the series following “That Day Again” and “View on Furusato Nozei,” and it’s crafted around the idea of comforting Akihiro Kakuta after a breakup with thank-you gifts from the hometown tax program.

Watching it together with the first two makes the world feel even deeper.

It’s also amusing that the structure has him being comforted with furusato tax return gifts after the breakup was caused by the hometown tax in the first place.

Which one should we eat first?Kumiko Aso, Tokyo 03

The commercial titled “Which one should we eat first?” conveys that using Satofull lets you enjoy lots of delicious food.

In it, Satoshi Iizuka looks at the various dishes prepared by Kumiko Aso and asks, “Which of these are the return gifts?” She replies, “They’re all Satofull return gifts.” Be sure to notice Iizuka’s surprised expression.

Another highlight is that the story unusually takes place at night.

The presence of a lamp also gives it a fresh feel.

SatoFuru “Pre-ordered Osechi” VersionKumiko Aso, Tokyo 03

The commercial titled “Pre-ordered Osechi” suggests ways to enjoy New Year’s using Satofull.

In it, Kumiko Aso and the members of Tokyo 03 sit in a garden eating mandarins while talking about osechi (traditional New Year’s dishes).

Satoshi Iizuka has pre-ordered osechi through Satofull, but the twist is that no one will eat it with him.

His slightly lonely expression is a funny touch, and even after the ad ends, you can’t help but wonder, “What happened after that?”

“The People Who Don’t Do It — Winter —” VersionKumiko Aso, Tokyo 03

The commercial titled “People Who Don’t Do It – Winter” conveys that there’s no reason not to use the hometown tax donation program.

In it, Kumiko Aso asks, “Why don’t you start using the hometown tax system?” Satoshi Iizuka responds in a heavy tone as if he has some reason, but the punchline is that he actually doesn’t have one.

The comedic back-and-forth will make you chuckle.

It’s a small detail, but be sure to watch Kumiko Aso’s reaction in the last two seconds of the commercial.

Winter GatheringKumiko Aso, Tokyo 03

The commercial titled “Winter Is All Here” expresses the idea that using the hometown tax program lets you enjoy delicious foods from all over Japan.

It’s a sequel to other spots in the series, featuring Akihiro Kakuta, who’s been heartbroken, being comforted with return gifts from the hometown tax program—like crab and bonito.

Be sure to check it out along with the episode where Kakuta gets a girlfriend and the previous one where he gets dumped.

Not only will you feel the expanding world of the series, but you’ll also catch jokes that land precisely because you watch them in sequence.

The ‘Now That I’m Getting On in Years’ EditionKumiko Aso, Tokyo 03

Hometown Tax site [Satofull] TV commercial “Make it a Good Year” (15 seconds) (https://www.satofull.jp/)

The piece that gives a nudge to people hesitating to start using the hometown tax donation program is the “Getting Older” installment.

The setting has been changed from Akihisa Toyomoto’s home, where the Tokyo 03 trio usually relax, to a new location.

While taking in the night breeze, Satoshi Iizuka confides, “As I get older, I have fewer opportunities to take on new challenges.” It’s a joke, but it also feels like it carries a surprisingly profound message.

It’s also noteworthy because it showcases the three of them bantering together again for the first time in a while.

Two Types of PeopleKumiko Aso, Tokyo 03

Hometown Tax site “Satofull” TV commercial “Two Types of People” (15 seconds) (https://www.satofull.jp/)

The commercial titled “Two Types of People” is all about enjoying a unique back-and-forth.

It opens with Akihiro Kakuta saying, “There are two types of people in the world.” Then Satoshi Iizuka cuts him off, and the whole thing ends up with the familiar take: people who use the hometown tax donation program and people who don’t.

Watching it makes you wonder which side you’re on.

Another draw is the sense of depth in the world of the ad—like Kumiko Aso in the background doing the dishes, adding layers to the scene.
