As noticed by many eagle-eyed fans, the 60-something pair loves to mix and match clothes of different hues of blue, gray, black and red. Sometimes, the wife would wear a checkered skirt, while her husband would wear a shirt with the same print. Because of the icy climate in Japan, they also fancy wearing duffel coats, scarves and leather shoes.
“One day, I hope I can grow to be like you,” one user said. Another one thought the couple was an inspiration for her and her husband’s everyday fashion. “You are so cute! I told my husband we should aspire to be like you with your fashion sense and outfit coordination,” the user commented.
Their Instagram handle is a moniker of their Christian names and their wedding date, May 11, 1980.
