Just the Two of Us at Sushiro

After a long and exhausting day at work a tired wife comes home wondering if she still has the energy to make dinner. Her husband quietly notices her fatigue and simply says that they should go out to eat.

They visit Sushiro alone for the first time since their children left home. As sushi moves past their table the couple remembers the lively days when their children filled every meal with laughter and conversation.

During the bubble era they watched city lights together. Tonight they watch tuna pass by. Her husband has become quieter with age yet also kinder. Looking at him across the table she suddenly sees the young man she once fell in love with.

Just the Two of Us at Sushiro is a warm and nostalgic Japanese folk song for couples beginning a new chapter after raising their family.

A family begins with two people. It grows louder and brighter. Then one day it becomes two again.

They cannot return to their youth. But they can fall in love again with the people they have become.
