Kubota “The Future as Envisioned by Kubota: Concept Tractor” EditionMasami Nagasawa, Sarutoki Minagawa, Patrick Harlan

Masami Nagasawa - The Future Painted by Kubota: Concept Tractor Edition

This commercial features an unusual combination: Masami Nagasawa as a mysterious woman, Sarutoki Minagawa as the sushi chef, and Patrick Harlan—aka Pakkun from the comedy duo Pakkun Makkun.

It’s Kubota’s “The Future Kubota Envisions: Concept Tractor” spot.

At a sushi counter, Nagasawa quietly mutters to herself, and the chef, listening closely, realizes, “She can see the future.” But for some reason, she can’t see what lies ahead for herself—cue the punchline.

The sushi chef, who’s completely at the mercy of Nagasawa’s murmurs, ends up being oddly adorable, too (lol).
