JT “An Afternoon to Think About a Rich Heart”Wasenari Tosa, Fumiya Ogura

[Official] JT Corporate CM 'An Afternoon to Reflect on a Rich Heart'

“What exactly is a rich, fulfilling moment?” The catchy opening that poses this question is striking, isn’t it? The piece portrays many forms of rich time: zoning out during a work break and gazing into the distance, taking a calm moment to face yourself, sharpening your senses, or seeking encounters with something new.

The relaxed yet warm exchanges between Kazunari Tosa and Fumiya Ogura, who play senior and junior colleagues, convey that richness can look different for everyone — and that’s okay.
