Synopsis
“Inner Loop Couple” tells the story of a boy and a girl, who meet by accident on the Yamanote train line. They start talking and walk through the streets of Shibuya by night. During this walk, it turns out they've met before, as the girl used to be a popular singer and he came to one of her shows. They talk about life in general, and about how their earlier meeting influenced their lives. Most of us have had these conversations that start as chatting with a random stranger and end up giving us nice memories and stuff to think about.
