The Midnight Diner is open for business again in the acclaimed franchise's second feature film. Based on Abe Yaro's manga Shinya Shokudo , the slice-of-life series Midnight Diner revolves around a late-night Shinjuku alleyway restaurant run by the wise and enigmatic Master (Kobayashi Kaoru). Every day from midnight to 7 a.m., the diner becomes the watering hole for regulars of all walks, from stoic gangsters to chatty office ladies. There's only one item on the menu, but as long as he can, Master will make anything asked and provide a sympathetic ear and sage advice to all the night owls who come through his door in search of food and conversation. Alongside the airing of the fourth season Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories in 2016, the series also released its second silver-screen feature, again directed by Matsuoka Joji. Keeping with the heartwarming episodic formula of small human stories, Midnight Diner 2 welcomes back regulars like Odagiri Joe, Matsushige Yutaka, Mitsuishi Ken and Yo Kimiko, and adds new diners with stories to share. Tabe Mikako, reprising her role from the first film, takes in an elderly woman (Watanabe Misako) who was conned into coming to Tokyo and is looking for her estranged son. Kawai Aoba plays a stressed editor who falls for a man (Sato Koichi) she meets at a funeral, but he may not be what he seems. Ikematsu Sosuke plays a soba shop owner's son whose aimless personality and relationship with an older woman (Kojima Hijiri) greatly worry his mother.
