What day is it in Japan today?

What day is it today?

November 22nd is “Good Couple Day”.
It was established in 1988 based on the wordplay “ii (11) fu (2) ufu (2)” and was created with the hope that couples would build a better relationship.

November 22nd is “Conveyor belt sushi day”, which was established to commemorate the birthday of Yoshiaki Shiraishi, the inventor of conveyor belt sushi.

I thought it would be fun, but unfortunately for me, I got completely hooked.
The word “conveyor belt sushi”
is very catchy, isn’t it?
It’s exciting, isn’t it?
You would think that the “sushi” would really “rotate” around, right?
And so I ended up getting totally hooked…but the sushi doesn’t rotate, and in fact, it doesn’t seem like any of the image generation AIs have studied the interior and workings of a conveyor belt sushi restaurant very well.
But it seems to be aware that there is sushi lined up, and the sushi is lined up, lined up, lined up.

There’s something I want to try out this time, so I’m going to enter the competition with ‘DALL・E 3’.
The level of detail, or rather the fineness of the decoration, is the best in ‘DALL・E 3’.
The theme is “A portrait of a loving couple standing behind the counter of a conveyor belt sushi restaurant,” and it’s a match between ‘Leonardo AI’ and ‘DALL・E 3’.

DALL・E 3

A married couple? I can’t say which, but it looks like an after scene.

Leonardo AI

They seem like a pretty sweet couple, don’t you think?
They have the same prompt though.

The outfit is adorned with elements of the kimono, obi, ribbons, and is styled in a jewel-toned tri-color scheme. Rich, sparkling shadows and beautiful gradients add depth and elegance to the design. The background is highly detailed to complement the elegance of the characters, and soft gradients to create a depth-of-field effect.
