-Good evening. -Good evening.
Terrace House is a show about six strangers living together,
and we observe how they interact.
All that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobiles.
-There is no script at all. -Yes.
Let's see. Last week's episode was very eventful.
Let's review. First off, Ruka offered to give Haruka a ride across town.
It was perfect, Ruka arriving to pick up an actress in a sleek ride.
However, Ruka was thrown off by his nerves and couldn't manage to ask her out.
Who knows if it's true that he's awkward with women?
-Good point. -He could be tricking us,
or maybe he's not. We'll see.
It's the truth.
I see.
This is the shop I go to.
-Wow. -Impressive, right? We should go.
That's what the shop looks like? I wanna go.
But Risako passed by at that exact moment, just as she was heading upstairs.
It's evident that Risako has feelings for Ruka.
Will you teach me how to skateboard?
I'm not good enough to teach.
-But I want to try. -Yeah, teach me.
"I'm not good enough to teach, but I want to try."
Wait, how is he awkward with women?
-That was so hot. So cool. -It was perfect.
How can he claim to be awkward with women?
And then...
-After that-- -No one's listening to me.
Then we have Kenji and Haruka's date.
They saw Haruka's friend's show
-and then went out to dinner. -Oh, that's right.
I'm never sure what to say to him. There aren't any meaty topics.
I see. Pooh Bear is not a great conversationalist.
He's not boring per se, but...
-He totally bores her. -What could it be?
-The thing about him-- -He's not great with words.
Exactly.
If you look back, there are quite a few awkward conversations with him.
Please review the previous episodes on Netflix.
-Really? -We have to re-watch?
The awkwardness was palpable when he brought the egg-boiling machine.
Do you have too much free time?
You're a regular on a bunch of shows, aren't you?
-He works a lot. -You still have time to binge on TV?
-I watch a lot of TV. -When? In the evening?
Yeah. Or in the morning, when I wake up too early.
You wake up early to binge-watch Terrace House?
-How cute. -It's super fun.
I watch it at home, too.
We've had many incidents so far.
-That's true. -It's a lot for four episodes.
Remember the scene with the earrings?
-That was sensual! -Risako asked Ruka to reopen her piercing.
At the end of the episode, whoever won the final round of Speed
would be granted a wish that would last forever.
Can you be...
my buddy forever?
-I accept. Yes. -Promise?
"I accept. Yes."
Aren't you sleepy?
I'm pretty sleepy.
Be my boyfriend.
What? What did you say?
I don't know. I'm just sleepy and mumbling things.
That exchange!
That exchange was perfect.
Yes, but I'm still unclear on whether she was talking about dating or...
-Or being friends for life? -Right.
-That's not it. -It's obvious!
-The implication is clear. -She wants romance.
Haruka is turning out to be very cool and collected...
or should I say "rough around the edges"?
I'm not here with the sole intention of revealing the housemates' dark sides.
But the housemates do individual interviews that are streamed on YouTube...
-I saw those! -You did? Weren't they gruesome?
-They were scary. -Wait? What was?
We can't ignore it.
-Tell them, Torichan. -What did Haruka say?
-The girl has a very nasty habit. -Huh?
Haruka was talking about her past dating experiences.
At one point, she said, "I have this bad habit
of becoming intrigued by what other people have."
-Oh, no! -Oh, dear.
She covets what other people have.
Let's consider the facts for a moment.
When Kaori and Kenji were bonding with each other over illustrating,
-Haruka asked Kenny to teach her guitar. -She did.
And then, when Ruka and Risako were getting closer,
she started swooping in on Ruka.
Keep in mind as we continue to watch
that Haruka may be a conniving thief preparing to ruin love for everyone else.
And now, it's showtime.
Quite the storyteller, huh?
Are you still free on the sixth?
Are you planning on going to Kenny's live show?
-I found out I have work. -Oh, you do?
-I think I can make it. -You can?
But according to Kenny...
he doesn't like love interests seeing him perform.
-But why? -What's the reason?
"Think of it this way.
If I lost my right hand and couldn't play music anymore--"
Your impression!
"Would it be Kenny from SPiCYSOL that she loved, or Kenny the person?"
That's what he said.
-He does... say that sort of thing. -Is he here right now?
-He's right there. -So you've noticed, too.
-Yep, I've heard him say that stuff. -So he won't play offstage.
"I want her to see me for myself."
-Hey, Ruka. -Yes?
What are you up to on the third?
-The third? -Yeah.
-I'm working that day. -You are?
-Aw, man. -The third...
I'm working on the third. Although...
-You're working? -I'm off the first and second.
I have a race that day. They'll be racing motorcycles, too.
-I wanted to see that! -Yeah.
I thought it'd be a great one for you to see.
Ah, too bad.
I'll invite you out again.
-To the next event. -Please do.
When's the next one?
-The next one? -That was fast!
It won't be till August.
-That's so far away. -Got excited too soon.
So far from now.
I hope Shohei makes it home before the Heisei era ends.
-Right? -58 minutes left.
Whoa, look at that. There's Reiwa themed beer!
Pretty cool, right?
There's Reiwa themed beer?
-Yeah... -That's impressive, Reiwa.
-Wow. -Did you see that?
-It's a Reiwa party theme. -Whoa!
THANK YOU, HEISEI
-Beautiful. -It's so good!
Right? Isn't it?
AND HELLO REIWA
Writing "Looking forward to..." didn't seem fitting,
since Reiwa is already here.
Who remembers our plans for tomorrow?
-What are you doing? -You mean our trip?
To the sports center?
We were planning on going tomorrow, right? But now it's supposed to rain tomorrow.
What would you like to do instead?
-Right, the sports center... -Yeah.
Should we go on a road trip?
Sure.
-He's here. -There he is!
-Welcome home. -You made it!
Just in time.
Let's toast.
-Yeah, let's make a toast. -Is that too formal?
Well, I guess it's fine.
Heisei...
was a mixture of good and bad.
Let's strive to do our best as we move forward.
Yes.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-A toast to Reiwa. -To Reiwa.
REIWA
Nice.
-Delicious! -It's sweet.
It's good. I like the sweetness.
Fifteen seconds left.
-Whoa! -It's nearly here.
I'm excited.
-I feel like I should float. -We're close now.
-Here it comes! -Eight...
Five, four...
-I should sit up. -...three, two, one.
Happy New Era!
What was that?
-I thought you might flip. -No flip this time.
-Goodbye, Heisei. -Yep.
Heisei is over.
-Happy New Era. -Happy New Era.
Hey, so during or after Golden Week,
-shall we go to Chawari? -I want to.
-Let's go. -Yay.
The day we go to Chawari...
I need to write an article for this travel column.
The piece is supposed to feature some cool spot in Tokyo.
-Okay! Around Ginza? -Yeah, Ginza.
Would you like to join me before we head to Chawari?
-We can start in the daytime. -That sounds great.
Where should we go tomorrow?
-Good question. -It's the first day of Reiwa.
-For the first day-- -That's an important day!
True.
You'll remember that day forever.
I do have parkour practice that night.
-What time? -Wow.
-She's relentless. -7:00 p.m.
When do you sleep?
-You should get more sleep. -Could you drop me off?
-When do you sleep? -That sounds nice.
Could you take me there?
Where is it?
Out by Shin-Koiwa.
-Okay. -Really?
Thank you so much.
-Could you help me practice driving, too? -Sure.
That's perfect.
-Nice. -I really appreciate it.
I'm so grateful.

RUKA NISHINOIRI, 20 PART-TIME RETAIL EMPLOYEE
-Good morning. -Good morning!
-Our outfits are similar-- -You're dressed up.
No work clothes for me today.
-Morning. -Good morning.
-Good morning.
-I'm ready whenever. -I'm ready, too.
-Then we're off. -Have a great time.
Oh, let's draw on the board.
Yeah! You're leaving a message?
What should I write?
"Went for a drive!"
Can you sign it for both of us?
So cute! How'd you do that?
-Cute! -Right?
WENT FOR A DRIVE. - RUKARISA
I'll use that again.
-Off we go. -Bye.
See you soon.
-Sorry. -About what?
It's kind of far.
It's no problem.
-It's closer than you think. -Is it?
I feel bad.
I love the sound of this engine.
It's great, huh?
Wakabayashi...
What's something you really want right now?
A Harley Davidson.
Not a big purchase like a bike.
I want to buy you a thank-you gift for today.
-For real? -Yeah.
I want that hat you have.
-You can have it. -The one with the velcro.
-I'll give it to you. -I can have it?
-Yay. -Or rather, let's share it.
-That's a good idea. -Yeah.
MISSION PARKOUR PARK TOKYO MATSUE, TOKYO
-Here we are, Risako. -Thank you so much.
-Sorry for the trouble. -Cool place.
-Looks like fun, right? -It does.
-Let's come together sometime. -Yeah.
-Off I go. -Take care.
-Will do. -See you soon.
Excited to work with you!
-Likewise. -Same here.
The flip starts with a cartwheel.
For the cartwheel, you'll start by thrusting your chest down.
Then kick your legs up.
TAISHI, 26 PARKOUR ATHLETE
Use the force to propel you, then touch down with your hands and land.
Use that force and...
Crazy good!
I said land with your hands first!
Please don't proceed to the next skill before I teach it.
I think you can handle two cartwheels.
You'll land once and cartwheel again.
So close.
Push more with your front leg. On this side.
From the jump again.
Yes, good. Nice, very nice.
-Good job. -Thank you.
Land with your left leg and complete the move with two steps.
-Step and step... -Great!
-Hyper touchdown. -Oh, so close.
-Super close. -Almost there.
-Yep, yes! Good, you got it. -Nice job.
I almost got to the end.
-How's your energy? -I'm doing good.
KODAI, 24 monsterpk MANAGEMENT
Two steps, and...
Push! Now kick!
-Oh, nice! -Whoa!
That last one was awesome.
-Looks great. -Everything connected.
-It'd have been better if you could kick. -Nice.
It flows together great.
-Let's end there. -Okay.
Thank you.
-So much rain! -Hey.
Thank you.
-Oh, no. Oh, no. -It's heavy.
Thank you.
-Shall we? -Let's.
And now we enter...
the unknown.
-It's very deep. -Totally.
Whoa.
This makes me excited.
So cold.
How was your date?
-My date? -Yeah.
You mean the show?
Yeah, that day.
I felt bad asking about it in front of Ruka.
-That's why you're asking now? -Yes.
My impression from our date is...
she's really pretty.
-She is. -I hadn't spent that much time
-just being in the moment with her. -That's true.
I thought she was really pretty.
-She's here. -It's Haruka.
-Is it clean? -Yes! Well, I think so.
What a fast "yes."
I'm hot.
-All that's left is to rinse it off. -True.
I want to swim, but it looks really cold.
It's super cold and it would mess up your skirt.
Really? I won't today, then.
Maybe we could swim by the end of May.
Plus, this room has a sauna effect.
-Will it get warmer soon? -I think so.
-Thanks for your hard work. -Yep.
-I'm heading out. -Leave this to us.
-That was odd timing. -Yeah.
She's cute even from below.
-That is pretty impressive. -Agreed.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
-Can I borrow this, Ruka? -Sure.
-How should I eat this? -However, really.
-This is tasty, Risako. -Really?
-Yeah. -Glad to hear it.
-We made it together. -It's delicious.
-Thank you for the food. -Sure thing.
-Do you have your schedule for next week? -Yep.
-Let's make plans for next week. -Okay.
Here are my shifts.
-I'm working a ton. -Which days?
Red means I'm off that day.
Thanks for the food.
-I want to try parkour. -It's a lot of fun.
But I want to try skateboarding first.
I have so many parkour lessons. Maybe we can go when those are over.
Okay.
I don't have enough stamina for more.
Or we could go bouldering.
-I want to try all of it. -Right?
On the count of three, let's both say the activity we're most interested in.
Okay.
-Cool. Count us off. -Three, two, one.
-Parkour. -Bouldering.
-One more time? -Okay.
-You count us down. -Three, two, one...
-Parkour. -Bouldering.
Let's do parkour after Golden Week.
Okay.
He's back.
I want to show you something, Kenny.
-Okay. -Remember this morning
I was telling you about some students I'd been teaching for the past year,
and how today was my last day with them?
Yes, I remember.
Well, they said, "Ms. Risako, thank you so much for all that you've taught us."
And they wrote letters for me. Look.
That looks just like you.
-Really? -It really does.
-Isn't it so cute? -That was my first thought, too.
-That's so nice. -I was overjoyed.
Do your best and be a good example for them.
I will do my best. I feel like I can do anything after receiving these.
And on that same topic, Kenny...
-Yeah? -Now that the class is over,
I wanted to get your thoughts on
what direction I should take now that I'm looking towards the future.
I want to chat with you and pick your brain.
Sure, no problem.
-Transitions are important, right? -I agree.
Right now, I mainly work as a fitness trainer,
but I have this desire to take a break from that
and really give my full attention to parkour.
However, I haven't been getting good results in practice lately.
-With parkour? -Right.
So honestly, I've been feeling down about that.
But after receiving those letters from my students today--
It seems pointless to be feeling sorry for yourself?
Yes, exactly.
I've been listening to your songs a lot lately.
-Hope that's okay. -For real?
-That's great. Thank you. -I have, secretly.
To tell you the truth, your songs and lyrics move me.
That makes me happy to hear.
-They're really great-- -If you ask me, there's no need to rush
if you already know what you ultimately want to be doing.
There are a lot of people who barely know what they want to be doing at your age.
I actually think that restlessness you're feeling
is a great strength of your personality.
I didn't start making music till I was 20 years old.
-I didn't know that! -Yeah.
So, from my perspective, there's no need for you to rush.
I suppose that's true. I get told that a lot.
I don't feel like I've ever challenged myself to the fullest.
I think it's great that you have that awareness.
I'm at a point now where I don't give much energy unless it's for music.
-Is that true? -Yeah.
-Interesting. -Everything else can wait.
It's less stressful that way.
-That's true. -Isn't every day more exciting that way?
It is. I'm having so much fun.
Do you and the other guys chat much about your crushes?
-We haven't at all lately. -For real?
How are you feeling?
-What, me personally? -Yeah.
-Me? -Yeah, you.
-I don't have a good grasp on things yet. -You don't?
No.
-I want to have a group dinner out. -I agree!
-Let's plan something, then. -Yes, please.
I want to put aside time to get to know everyone.
We began with some heavy tension at the dining table.
Didn't we? It was a quiet but savage exchange.
That back-and-forth between Haruka and Risako...
Haruka gave us some great expressions.
What do you imagine she's feeling inside?
-It is jealousy? -Not quite yet.
It's not jealousy yet, but she is observing,
watching Risako like, "Hmm, how assertive."
Her face was like...
-Yes, a very active left brow. -Her left brow was getting a workout.
Only George Tokoro shifts his brows that much.
-We don't see that often. -Not to that degree, no.
It's impressive to express so much with eyebrows.
It's a delight to witness.
-It's impressive. -She's easy to read.
Speaking of easy to read,
Risako's attachment to Ruka has intensified.
-What a sight. -She's completely locked on.
Those two are so cute together.
-Aren't they? -Their exchanges are cute.
When they were swapping ideas on the count of three, they were so in sync.
-They're a good pair. -Great chemistry.
-Is he awkward with women, though? -He's becoming--
It's not that he's awkward per se. He just can't help blushing.
He said he wanted to overcome that.
-He's gotten used to the house. -What's upsetting you?
This is on him. The way Ruka introduced himself was not accurate.
-What's the matter? -Truth is, it is confusing,
because he introduced himself as being awkward around women,
which made you think you had a lot in common.
-I understand now. -Is that right, Yamachan?
Yeah. Because there's no way a guy who's awkward with women
could take a sip from a drink and then pass it to her.
Listen here. You are far too obsessed with
-indirect mouth-to-mouth contact. -Way too sensitive.
Indirect kisses are extremely underrated.
How many times will you bring up indirect kisses
over the course of multiple seasons?
Indirect kisses are relevant no matter how many seasons pass.
-It started with Seina and... -That ice cream!
...the ice cream incident in Hakone.
-He did point that out. -That ice cream exchange
was the most sensual indirect kiss to ever exist.
Because you leave an imprint of your whole tongue,
-and someone licks the cream... -I do agree with you.
-That's true. -Torichan,
could you please look less repulsed when listening to my story?
Risako is quick to engage in PDA.
She was like, "Who remembers our plans?" with a poke.
-I saw that. -So what?
-What a creepy obsession. -Big deal!
He reacted twice. Like, "Did you see that poke? Did you?"
-Why so excited over a poke? -Right?
Because I am a detective and this is my assistant.
We'll catch her red-handed.
I've known people who poke as their signature move.
The parkour was impressive.
-Some crazy moves. -So dynamic!
Yu is head-over-heels for that coach.
-Taishi? -Yes, Taishi.
No one was listening when I said, "How hot is Taishi?"
Everyone was enthralled with the parkour.
The parkour was mesmerizing.
"Can they not hear how hot I think Taishi is?"
How about this scene, though? It's my favorite so far.
When...
the ladies were reflecting on the things Kenny said,
and their impressions of him clearly exhibited their lack of respect for him.
-He was the butt of the joke. -I noticed that.
Like, "I don't like playing for love interests..."
The accent was patronizing, with an underbite, too.
"I don't like playing for..."
Just as that impression was reminding me of how brutal women can be,
the camera pans,
and he's sitting right there.
Plus, it was coming from Kaori.
-Right! -Very unexpected.
They assumed he couldn't hear them from the living room.
But Ruka heard Haruka perfectly fine as she spoke to him at a similar volume.
Thus, she proved to us that Kenny must've heard everything
by demonstrating that with Ruka.
-To us in the studio? -Subliminally?
Which means Kenny must put on an air from time to time.
-That's true. -Trying to act cool, maybe.
He must feel that pressure, being the oldest.
It might be a choice made out of pride.
-There's no need for that, though. -Yeah. He should open up.
There's still a possibility for that to happen.
He's been transparent about his attraction to Haruka.
"She's cute even from below."
I wonder if he realized that Haruka wasn't having a great time
at dinner on their date. Do men not notice these things?
-Kenny might not. -I think he's a special case.
He's a unique character. That's why he is the butt of their jokes.
Those details don't stand out to him.
He doesn't shy away from silence in his interactions.
Since he's happy just being present,
he can't tell when someone else isn't having fun.
That quote about not wanting his love interests to see him perform...
"If I lost my right hand and couldn't play music anymore,
then what would happen?
I might find out that she loved Kenny from SPiCYSOL, but not me as a person.
Don't you think?" Who says that to a potential partner?
That quote proves his lack of awareness.
It is possible that Haruka will...
break through his quirkiness out of sheer will.
I think she could.
But according to her,
she has no interest in a man who isn't spoken for.
-That's true. -She only wants other people's partners.
-You might be right. -So they wouldn't work out. How fun.
-Exactly. -If you want to get her attention,
you have to get attention from someone else.
-You got it. -I see.
What a complex system for partner-hunting.
Precisely.
TWIN RING MOTEGI MOTEGI, TOCHIGI

Where do you want this sticker?
This one.

-The Rod Motors logo? -Yeah.

HARUKA OKUYAMA, 24 ACTRESS
2010: MOVED TO TOKYO TO BECOME AN ACTRESS
2013: GRADUATED JWCPE NIKAIDO HIGH SCHOOL
2018: SIGNED WITH JAPAN MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY
SINGLE FOR 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS
Right lane, 11.248 seconds.
Left lane, 11.995 seconds.
343 HARUKA OKUYAMA PRELIMINARY TIME 11.142
MAKOTO KATSURAGI, 72 ROD MOTORS
-What was your final time? -11 seconds.
-Actually, maybe ten.
-Ten or 11 seconds? -I did 11 seconds, right?
-What was it? -11.248 seconds.
-That's super fast! -It's great.
Just run the next round the same way.
Okay, got it.
-Your burnout sounded good. -Didn't it?
11.653 343 HARUKA OKUYAMA
The left lane has gone over the time limit.
They've arrived outside of the allotted time limit.
That was a close race!
-So close. -But I let off the accelerator.
I know.
-But you were too fast. -Too quick.
You gained speed, so let's celebrate that. You were at 11.2 seconds.
-You were fast-- -I could go even faster with more gas?
You mostly likely could.
You might've even cleared 11 seconds flat.
-But-- -Don't look so sullen.
You did your best.
How are things with your housemates?
It's really become apparent to me now
just how much time I regularly spend with older guys.
Do you know what I mean?
They barely understand the things I talk about.
-Well, you're always hanging with us. -You get what I mean, right?
It's good to have new challenges.
You'll figure out how to appeal to your peers.
Exactly. I haven't had much experience interacting with people my age.
Being at Terrace House has made me aware of that.
There's one guy who wants to own a Harley Davidson.
He's in love with Harleys.
-I'll bring him around the shop soon. -Okay.
OMOTESANDO, TOKYO
It's the building with the wood siding.
-The wood? -Yeah. Do you see it?
-This shop? -Yeah.
-Hello. -Welcome.
-Look at the variety. -Yeah. The samples are here.
-Over here? -Yep. Oh, hold on.
We can check the shape, too.
This is very light, like fabric for a pillowcase.
It's see-through. I like the white, though.
From a guy's point of view, that's excellent.
-See-through white? -Translucent T-shirt.
This color is really cute.
-It looks vintage. -A nice distressed look.
-Which color? -I like their color variety.
-Right? I agree. They're cute. -Yeah.
NAKAMEGURO, TOKYO
-You can make it tomorrow, right? -Yeah.
Do you get nervous before shows?
-Not anymore. -You don't?
-That's impressive. -I don't usually, at least.
What's the most important time of the year as far as work goes for you?
-Is there a specific season? -I would say
the months we tour are most important.
-You tour, too? -We do.
With the release of our new single,
-we'll go on tour... -Oh, I see.
...starting in the fall. That's prime time for us.
Got it.
How about you?
-My busiest time of year? -Is it your gallery shows, or--
My individual shows are great,
because I can create whatever I want.
I'm insecure that I don't have a busy time of year.
Why?
You'd like a bigger venue to exhibit your stuff in, right?
I would. I'm renting a space next to a coffee shop,
but I would love to rent a gallery.
This might sound egotistical. I want to host an opening at a gallery.
-Like an official reception. -Nice.
-That'd be great. -A catered event?
Exactly! Maybe next year, if I work hard at it.
-Or maybe even this year. -You think?
-I think so. -I'll try my best.
I've been pickier about which projects I accept because of that.
Until recently, I wouldn't turn down any work.
It's great that the offers you do receive are high profile.
-It's impressive. -Not at all.
The Loft client is so cool.
-I hope everything works out with them. -It's great to have clients.
-Do you ever work with clients? -Every so often.
-Composing background music? -Yeah.
Like for commercials and such.
-Commercials? That's cool. -Those kinds of gigs
definitely pay more in the music industry.
To be completely honest. However, those jobs require more effort.
You can't compose whatever you feel like.
No, it's limiting.
But that's what work is about.
It is work, after all.
I appreciate how candidly you talk about art and money.
I like that.
-For real? -The two are closely intertwined,
but people shy away from discussing money.
But you can't sustain a living on passion alone.
-Money is important. -I wholeheartedly agree.
Thank you for your patience.
-Your cheeseburger. -Thank you!
-Bon appétit. -And your blue cheeseburger.
Here we go.
Bon appétit.
-So good. -Delicious.
Let's chat about T-shirt designs again soon.
-I mean, I'd like your opinion. -Likewise. Let's make it happen.
-Your total. -It's on me, since I invited you.
-On credit, please. -No, wait. Here.
-Okay. -No, no, please don't.
-Let me pay, I asked to join you. -Please, on this card.
-All on one tab? -Yes, please.
Okay, next meal is on me.
I'm gonna eat a ton.
-Let's hang out again soon. -Okay.
I'll find a nice restaurant.
Ruka, have you talked to Haruka?
Well, not exactly.
What do you mean, "not exactly"?
It's too soon for us to hang out one-on-one.
-Is it? -I'm super comfortable with Risako.
Yeah.
Haruka is difficult to talk to? Or, I mean--
I just... I feel like it's only been five days since I met her.
-Time has frozen for you? -Exactly.
What about Risako?
It's as if she's always been around.
I see.
I feel like I... rushed things with Haruka.
Rushed things? How so?
Like I rushed to spend time with her.
-You mean your drive together? -Yeah.
-I think I rushed into that. -I see what you mean.
-Did you fumble on the drive? -No, not completely.
But I couldn't express myself very well.
-It was difficult-- -What did you want to tell her?
-I wanted to ask her to lunch. -Oh.
But I couldn't do it.
The sooner you ask her out, the easier it'll be.
I guess so.
YUIGAHAMA, KANAGAWA
I want to try that. The paddleboarding.
-Where you stand and row? -That's it, right?
-It's called SUP. Isn't it fun? -SUP?
This is my car. Isn't it great?
What? Crazy.
The rule is that we have to finish between 11.5 and 12.5 seconds.
For my class, that is. But I finished at 11.2 seconds.
I finished outside of the time limit and was disqualified
-for being too fast. Yeah. -You can't go quicker?
How was your day yesterday?
Kenny and I went to check out sample T-shirt sizes and materials.
Does Kenny open up with you?
Since yesterday, I've had an easier time chatting with him.
-Really? -Yeah. It was interesting.
Bon appétit.
You should come visit my car shop soon.
-There's a bunch of older-- -You own a shop?
-No, it's not mine. -Oh, the place you go?
Right, exactly.
I have so much respect for the passion that these guys bring to racing.
-It's stimulating to be around them. -I see.
I wish I could date someone like that.
-Someone with a passion? -Passionate, or maybe I mean ambitious.
That's your type?
Isn't that a great quality? Or does it seem like it'd be overbearing?
No, I just wasn't expecting it.
I guess you might get that impression from Kenny after seeing his show today.
He did seem super excited. Especially since he doesn't--
-Invite friends to shows? -Not very often, no.
Because "I want to be valued for being me," right?
ZAIMOKU THE TERRACE
Masters is on the Chillin!
Are you ready to have some fun?
Yeah!
-How cool. -So cool!
-He's good. -He is.
So cool.
Thank you!
Thank you very much. We are SPiCYSOL.
Very nice!
This always happens.
But you know, we've had quite a few musicians on this show.
They haven't had much success with love.
-Oh? -Who have we had?
There was Shohei last season.
-Yes, Shohei. -Then there was...
the bassist. You know, the curry guy.
-You mean Kyujitsu Kacho, right? -Okay, Kyujitsu Kacho.
-"The curry guy"? -The curry guy!
-The curry guy. -That clam curry.
-The clam curry guy. -That's right.
Oh, and the ukulele virgin.
-What was his name? -Yu...
-Yusuke. -That's right! He failed, too.
Which means being a musician doesn't make things easier.
True. But ironically, in Kenny's case, the more interest Kaori shows in him,
the better his chances are with Haruka, his main target.
If the "grass is greener" system does indeed work like we expect it to,
Kaori will get closer with Kenny
and Risako will get closer with Ruka,
creating two potential targets for Haruka.
She'll pinball between Ruka and Kenji, and eventually self-destruct.
-Back, forth, back, forth, back, forth. -It's inevitable.
-What will happen with Ruka? -Ruka is interested in Haruka.
-Well... -It's too soon to tell.
-He's not in love with her. -We'll see.
-He admires her. -Because she's pretty?
The intrigue of the beautiful, older woman.
And Risako just wants...
-Fun times. -"Let's play."
She's playfully innocent, like... Playing with a puppy.
-Risako is... -A puppy person.
She's at a disadvantage. He'll only see her as a friend.
-Oh, no... -That's bittersweet.
-Parkour... -She doesn't excite him.
-The Parkour of Tears. -I don't want to see that.
She'll slip if she lands in a puddle of tears.
"Wow, I'm sweating more than usual today.
Oh... these are tears."
Parkour of Tears, the saga.
-The Parkour of Tears saga. -Please, no.
Parkour of Tears ends when Taishi hugs her close.
-Parkour of Tears. -Taishi consoles her.
Unfortunately, we won't be seeing much of Taishi.
Maybe he'll come back next week.
I have faith that he will.
Ladies, your desires are running rampant.
-Torichan is obsessed with Ruka. -I've been thinking...
I want a son named Ruka.
-You've gone that far? -When did this happen?
Torichan is into Ruka, Yu is into Taishi.
-What's happening? -Babachan, how about the Rod Motors guy?
-I'm not going for older men quite yet. -That guy?
He looks like he could be a legendary jazz singer.
-Agreed. -That's fitting. He seems very groovy.
"Groovy" describes him well.
They'll be back since Haruka is taking Ruka to the car shop.
You're right.
-We'll see them again. -Now I want a crush.
-You guys should choose crushes, too. -Please.
I like Kaori.
-Good choice. -She's super cute.
Haruka... Well, Haruka...
If you were younger, you'd be saying,
"I'll have a serving of all three."
Wait, what's with that accent?
Are you imitating Honkon?
"I'll have a serving of all three."
"Oops, I devoured all of them."
"Hey, Higashino!"
At this point, you probably like Kaori.
-Yeah... -But you're secretly into Haruka.
Haruka is beautiful, sure. But just like Ruka,
-I'd be nervous around her. -You would?
If you were five years younger, you totally would've approached her.
-And you, Yamachan? -I hate them all.
But if you had to pick one?
-Be honest for a second. -It'd be Kaori, right?
If I had to, yeah, I'd choose Kaori.
-Kaori? -Yes.
Why are you trying to play it cool?
He's the only virgin in class.
-You're a virgin, aren't you? -You are, huh?
-I've slept with tons of people. -Like who?
I smash tons. I choose Kaori.
-I can't even stand Haruka. -What a lie.
-So uncool. -Lame old virgin!
-Crazy. -If Haruka asked you out,
-you'd wag your tail and follow. -No, I'm not even interested.
-What a lie. -Not even a smidge.
-Totally uninterested. -So lame.
Well, maybe I shouldn't mention this, but...
What?
Haruka said...
she's kind of into you.
-What? No way! -Whoa!
What are you going to do?
-What are you going to do? -Yeah?
What a load of extra work.
What a lame virgin!
So lame!
So uncool, old virgin!
They asked me to add more yellow, but I'm like, where could I even put more?
Is yellow the new trend?
-It's the signature color of their brand. -Oh, okay.
What are you up to this weekend?
This weekend? I'm headed to Karuizawa.
-Oh, right, you'll be gone. -With my friends.
I'll be bored on Sunday.
-No one else is free? -Who knows?
What are you up to Sunday?
-I have to attend a work meeting. -I see.
Sorry.
But at some point, could you take me to a driving range?
-You want to play golf? -I'm interested.
Do you have clubs?
-Can't we rent them? -Yeah, we can.
-Just wondering if you bought some. -Not yet.
-Let's go. -Yeah.
I'm a total novice.
-So please teach me. -Okay.
Not that I've taught before.
-I'm heading to the bath. -Okay.
-I'm home. -Welcome home.
-Here I am. -Welcome home.
Welcome home.
-You tired? -I dyed my hair black.
-For real? -It is black.
-Take off your hat. -Take off your hat.
-It's black now. -You look mature.
-Do I? -You cut it, too?
Only a trim.
I wanted a full cut, but we ran out of time.
Wait.
Your hair color is so different. I wasn't sure who was sitting here.
You noticed?
I might buy this.
I like fantasy shopping.
It's so much fun, isn't it? I do that, too.
-By the way, next week... -Yes?
Do you want to check out the shop?
Oh, yeah. We did say next week.
When are you off?
Let's see... Next week, I'm free the 16th or the 13th.
I'll check in with Rod Motors and get back to you.
-Okay, that's a good idea. -I'll talk to them.
I'm heading to bed.
-Good night. -Good night.
