-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.
So, last week, Haruka invited Ruka to her race,
but unfortunately, he wasn't available.
Without missing a beat, Risako asked him to take her to parkour practice,
and he happily obliged.
-Risako is definitely into him. -She's fallen hard.
Risako goes all in with everything she does.
-She tends to spread herself thin. -Indeed.
She gives 100% with parkour and with dating.
-She has laser focus. -Eyes on the prize.
Haruka impressed us all at her race.
-She looked so cool. -Who would've guessed?
Wow!
You can lose for being too fast?
You have to finish within the time brackets.
-It's an interesting race. -Agreed.
That was her most beautiful moment yet, when she took off her helmet.
-Her hair all lovely and tussled! -An iconic moment for her,
and one that will go down in Terrace House history.
Last week, we also saw Risako turn to Kenny for career advice.
It was a rare coupling of housemates.
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.
They made plans to get dinner.
Kenny used to have the reputation of being the boring, lame guy.
But his popularity has increased over the last week.
When he and Kaori went to look at T-shirts and had lunch, it was really nice.
She's attracted to conversations about money.
-You'd think the opposite-- -Your phrasing is so crass.
You interpret things like a virgin.
-I am totally not a virgin, I promise! -She's right.
You should watch how you word things.
Fine. I'll save my opinions for later online.
-Please don't. -Classic virgin move.
Why am I being bullied as a virgin at 42?
Since yesterday, I've had an easier time chatting with Kenny.
Kenny has become more likeable to her.
They all went to see Kenny's live show after that chat,
so there's a chance that he's on Haruka's radar now.
Haruka primarily preys on people who are already spoken for.
She might use Kaori's attraction to Kenny to fuel her own conquest.
Things could heat up soon.
Could you take me to a golf driving range?
-You want to play golf? -Yeah. I'm a total novice.
So please teach me.
Do you want to check out the shop next week?
Oh, yeah. We did say next week.
I'll check in with Rod Motors and get back to you.
-Okay, that's a good idea. -I'll talk to them.
Where will this week begin?
-Well-- -Many plans were discussed.
-A lot of plans were made last week. -Lots of planning.
Hopefully, we'll get to see everything unfold.
Will Haruka and Shohei become closer after this golf date?
It honestly doesn't seem likely at this point.
No arrows are pointing toward Shohei at the moment.
Not from anyone.
Since no one is really expecting anything from him romantically right now,
an opportunity to show a more passionate side of himself
could really open things up for him right now.
-That might happen. -It's a possibility.
He might just have to cook the most decadent lu rou fan ever.
Just keep devising better and better versions of lu rou fan.
Become a lu rou fan master.
So, Sunday...
Is 7:00 p.m. a good time? Is that too late?
-It's not late at all. -Then let's say 7:00 p.m.
Where are you going?
The driving range. He wants to try golf.
-Is there a place nearby? -That sounds fun.
-It's out in Kasai, over by Disneyland. -That's far.
-I see. -Okay.
I'm ready to go skateboarding.
Let's figure out when we want to go, please.
Okay.
-Weekends work better for me. -Weekends?
-Weekends are no good for me. -Have you taken a bath?
-How about Wednesday? -Nope, I haven't had a bath yet.
I might take a bath, then.
Oh, the 26th!
The 26th?
-Let's do it. -Okay.
So... I'll prepare a board for you.
-You have two? -Yeah.
Thank you.
-I'm a complete beginner. -I'm taking a bath.
-You'll do great. -Really?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hey!
-Shall we go-- -It might be cold today.
-Since it's outside? -Yeah, and near the sea.
-It is? I should grab a coat. -Yeah. You'll definitely want one.
I'm so excited to golf.
It's so fun. You should get into it.
-What's your average score? -I guess 110.
-One hundred twenty on my bad days. -Yeah?
-They say breaking 100 is hard. -It's a challenge.
Do you think Ruka is...
in love with Risako?
Do you know?
-Has he told you anything? -Well...
-I won't tell, I promise. -Well, no...
Me and Kaori have been saying,
"Don't you think Ruka is totally into Risako?"
He seems to find her easy to talk to.
-Yeah. -Since they're similar in age.
He tells me, "I do get along well with her."
-I think he likes her. -Right?
-Seeing them together. -Isn't it obvious?
He's always calling her name, "Risako, Risako."
Which makes me think, "Oh... he must be in love."
In your opinion, is he too young to date?
-At that age? -Twenty is young for a partner.
Doesn't that add to the excitement, though?
Moments of maturity tend to catch me off-guard
when I'm interacting with someone so young.
That can be exciting.
-Have you felt that? -With Ruka?
-Yeah. -When we were hanging out on the sofa,
-I noticed his profile is really pretty. -He is very pretty.
We were sitting very close while looking at photos
-when I noticed that. -Like this?
It was exciting, our faces being so close.
Ruka loves physical closeness, doesn't he?
-He does. -I've noticed that.
He's like a puppy.
Kenny doesn't talk to me very much.
There's a pretty clear distinction in how he talks to men and women.
I do sense that, and I've found that mysteriousness to be quite intriguing.
-Oh, really? -You know what I mean?
As a guy, I don't get that.
Even this morning, we were exchanging greetings...
Until recently, I didn't feel like I could express myself well with him,
even when just saying good morning.
What do you mean? Like it was hard to initiate the greeting?
I used to feel awkward talking to him,
so getting to know him better lately has been great.
-It makes you happy? -Very happy.
It makes me super happy.

LOTTE KASAI GOLF KASAI, TOKYO
Have you been to a driving range before?
-Nope, I'm new to all of it. -This is your first time?
Didn't you say before that you've played a little bit?
-I've played mini golf. -Gotcha.
Maybe you should start with a seven, the short one.
-This one? -Yeah.
-Whoa! -That's what it looks like.
-You're great. -Why don't you give it a try?
-Good idea. Once without any instruction. -Don't think too hard.
Just keep your eyes on the ball.
-Like this? -Yep. And relax.
Wait, hold on...
Everyone does that.
I can't even hit it!
-Try the driver with the bigger head. -Okay.
Wow.
-You have beautiful form. You look cool. -Really? Thanks.
Okay. With this size? I got this.
Great.
You need to keep your head from shifting.
Oh, God.
-So, first off... -Yes.
Push your butt out. Great, that's it.
Then pull back like this...
-Swing here... Keep your head aligned. -Okay.
Swing through here... and strike here.
-Here? Okay. -So it looks like this.
-From here. -To here.
-Wait, let me show you. -Okay.
This is how you want to swing. Start here, follow a straight line,
-and strike through like this. -Okay.
Does that make sense?
-Yeah... -Not really?
I kind of get it.
-I'm not sure how to teach it. -I want to hit like that.
That was a good one!
I've heard that "chashumen" is a good rhythm to follow.
You should try it. Like, "cha-shu-men."
Cha-shu-men!
Whoops, no good.
-Maybe I'll try "lu rou fan." -Okay.
-Let's go with lu rou fan. -Your favorite, lu rou fan.
I just made some last night.
Lu rou fan.
-Nice! -Whoa!
-Wasn't that my best form so far? -It was!
-Not bad. -Hey, are you hungry?
I'm super hungry.
-Do you want to grab ramen? -Ramen sounds great.
-Let's do it. -Okay.
HIROYA KASAI, TOKYO
SHOYU, HIROYA, MISO, NOODLES
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
Ramen after golf practice...
Isn't it the best? It's the culprit of my weight gain.
Everyone always wants ramen after golf practice.
-Delicious. -Right?
Do you remember that conversation we had in the living room?
What was it...
We were exchanging our philosophies about work.
Yes, I remember.
I contradicted your opinions pretty harshly,
so I worry that I've hurt your feelings.
Not at all. I'm totally fine.
Even beyond our different opinions about work...
I'm grateful that you can share your thoughts with me.
Have you found a particular focus since then?
As far as acting, I've been going to more auditions.
-You have? -A lot more.
-I see. -I've been going to auditions and...
I've recently been offered
-another writing gig. -Cool!
What will you be writing about?
-Online articles about Ginza. -I see.
I've been aiming to earn around $3,000 each month.
I could earn a grand with acting,
another grand from writing,
and a grand working with the interior company.
That's one way of earning $3,000.
If I had the option of making $3,000 just by acting,
I'd still prefer having the variety of work.
I see.
I'm 26 right now,
so I don't think I have the potential to make it big with acting.
I don't see it happening.
I feel like you shouldn't limit yourself.
That's my immediate reaction. But I understand what you're saying, too.
I also feel...
anxious about whether I should continue acting.
I think about it quite often.
But I'm always busy cheering on everyone else.
-I can't be a silent bystander. -I appreciate that you care.
You were concerned about it the other day.
-About... -What your manager said to you.
That kind of thing does get to me.
You mentioned he thought you were being aimless in life.
If you think of it another way,
you could say that he sees potential in you
and wants to see you succeed.
-That he has your best interest in mind. -Yeah.
I'm not motivated to do a good job just to impress people.
That's how I feel.
-I think I'm pretty cynical. -I can see that.
I feel like you try to act cool.
I definitely do that.
I think you should let your hair down more.
Wasn't I super uncool today?
Yes, your form was fantastically horrible.
We should go again sometime.
We should!
-I want to make it a routine. -Yeah.
It's best to make it part of your routine so you don't forget.
Yeah.
Did you golf today?
Yeah, I went with Shohei.
Shohei was exhibiting some...
very curious striking forms.
-I saw the photo you posted on LINE. -Did you?
He looked like an elderly gorilla.
What did you guys chat about?
We talked about Risako and Ruka.
How Ruka definitely has feelings for Risako.
That seems to be the case.
-Shohei thought so, too. -He did?
I think he likes her.
I can't decide whether I should ask about it.
Ask Ruka, that is.
-Ask Ruka? -He might not like that.
-What are you up to? -Just working.
-You're writing that article? -Yeah.
It's pretty tricky.
-Writing? -Yeah.
Is Ruka still asleep?
He's awake, right?
He was awake earlier.
I hope he didn't fall back asleep.
-You two have a date today, right? -I don't know.
-Do you feel like it's-- -If it was a date...
I'd feel nervous.
I think it's a date.
Pretty sure it's a date.
-Don't you think? -Fine, it's a date.
Yeah, I'm envious.
I want to go on a date.
-You're going to Chawari soon. -Yeah.
I'm looking forward to it.
-Good morning. -Morning.
-Your look is breezy today. -I'm feeling breezy.
Back to work for me.
Shall we?
Let's.
-Have you driven a drop-top before? -Yeah, my car is a drop-top.
-Oh! That's cool. -Shall I open it?
-Sure. -Is this the button?
Do I push up?
Pull over...
-Whoa. -Nice!
It's so bright.
I haven't ridden like this in a while.
-The weather is great. -Isn't it?
-We got really lucky. -Right?
ROD MOTORS TSUZUKI, KANAGAWA
-Mr. Makoto! -Hey, what's up?
-Your car is different! -You're right.
This car belongs to Terrace House.
-That makes sense. It's a Jaguar. -Yeah.
This is Ruka.
-I'm Ruka. Nice to meet you. -Hello.
MAKOTO KATSURAGI, 72 ROD MOTORS OWNER
-This is the Ruka that wants a Harley. -Is that so?
-Nice to meet you. -Likewise.
RYO KATSURAGI, 47 ROD MOTORS
-Look, it's a Rossi. -You live together?
Huh? Yeah. We're housemates, right?
You want a Harley, huh?
I had one till recently, but I just sold it.
-You don't have it anymore? -They took it away.
Aw, man.
-Isn't it so cool? Remember? -Yeah, I saw pictures of it.
-We had this one. -It's so cool.
Very nice.
-You should shop around before you decide. -I see.
Once you decide,
I know a guy who sells bikes and deals Harleys, too.
You might get a good discount.
-Ooh. -That would be amazing.
-Harleys are pricey, aren't they? -Totally.
We might be able to help quite a bit.
Thank you so much.
Where are you two headed now? Going home?
-We're going out for steak. -Ooh!
-At this place called B&M in Meguro. -Really? Sounds nice.
-In Meguro? -Yep.
-Watch out for accidents. -Yeah, Ruka's got it.
-You good? -I'll be careful.
-Let's touch base soon. -Okay.
-Please come visit us again. -Yes, I will.
-I'll see you next week. -Feel free to drop in any time.
Thank you!
MEGURO, TOKYO
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
-Is it good? -So good.
-Isn't it great? -Delicious.
Have you been bonding with anyone lately?
The guys have been really kind to me.
They look after you?
-Cook dinner and stuff? -Yes.
Shohei even gave me advice on my outfit today.
And my hair.
He's been looking out for me.
-Today, you mean? -Yeah, he helped me out today.
What about the ladies?
You're closest with Risako.
Aren't you?
You don't have feelings for Risako?
We've noticed that you two are always together and chatting congenially.
It's very cute to see.
It's like... Is it okay to ask this?
It's fine.
Well, we do get along really well.
Yeah, but just as friends?
Yeah, well... it's complicated.
We're both very playful. So...
-You're both very active, too. -Yeah.
Having a buddy to hang out with in the house...
it's irresistible to deny their company.
-I get it. -That's all.
Would you like to be in love?
Not so much? It hasn't crossed your mind?
-Would you? -I would.
Because we all live together,
I think it's more likely to genuinely fall in love
than if we were in a different situation.
Seeing someone seven days a week as opposed to once a week
makes a huge difference.
You get to know more about them, discover their good sides.
I feel like I'm getting a great picture of who the housemates really are.
-Really? -Yeah.
-If you were to date someone here... -Yeah.
...you'd really get to know who they were.
I know what you mean.
Ruka's vibe is totally different.
He's a different person than when he's with Risako.
Completely.
When he's out with Risako,
-his hair is never-- -Parted so perfectly?
-He used so much hair product. -Right?
-He was more suave than usual. -That wet look, though.
His shirt was sleek, too.
Every detail was completely different.
He looked very cute.
There's the older woman that he admires even though she makes him nervous,
and then the girl that's playful and feels like a childhood friend.
Which will he choose?
I'm sure he wants both.
This is a classic trope, one you might come across in a manga.
Exactly.
-And the hero is a boy who turns red-- -Are you still on that?
You're so stubborn.
-That curse doesn't wear off, huh? -Right?
-Let it go already. -Why hold on?
-I've been cursed? -Absolutely.
If there's time, I'd like to head to a church.
-For confession? -You should confess.
I need an exorcism!
The atmosphere in the house has become...
a bit too friendly.
-Everyone likes each other. -There are some truly great personalities.
Even Kenny has redeemed himself.
Shohei is a good listener and people like him for that.
Haruka and Shohei having found some middle ground
after butting heads about work is the most boring detail of them all.
Haruka is really making an effort
-to build rapport with everyone right now. -Exactly.
-I know, but... -Let's give it some time.
Just observe for now.
Okay, sorry. I'll chill out.
Haruka has really been hogging the spotlight lately,
and it's getting on my nerves.
Because everyone is so friendly with one another right now,
as they bond further,
there's bound to be someone who ruins the balance.
You're right. I forgot because we haven't seen much of her,
but Risako is still in the picture.
So far we've seen...
Haruka trying to butt her way into established friendships.
It seems Ruka is also sweet on Risako, too.
They've all noticed.
Plus, when Haruka asked Ruka how he felt about Risako,
he could've said they're just friends, and let that be it.
-But he said it's complicated. -He did.
-He has feelings for her. -He likes her.
There's something there.
If there were no feelings, there'd be no need to say that.
Exactly.
What's the deal?
A little boring for you, Yamachan?
Happy atmospheres like this never last very long.
-That's historically true. -Right.
See? You guys like drama, too.
-Who arrived first? -Kaori.
It's Kaori!
Five-finger socks.
-Tabi socks? -Yep.
-Nice tabi. -Based on first impressions,
I like the girl with the long hair. The tall one.
-The one in the middle? -Yeah, her.
I recall everyone besides Risako being very tall.
The one who works in retail.
-I forget his name. -Ruka-kun.
Yeah, that's it. Ruka's kind of cute, right?
Stop it.
She crumbled.
I'm drawn to you, Kaori.
Very strongly.
"Very strongly."
-That sounds great. -Maybe around Sangenjaya?
I want to see the faces on the other two.
Make it stop!
Please make it stop!
You're like, "Hmm." So unimpressed.
That's understandable.
I can't bear it. I'm going for a smoke.
I need to grab my phone from downstairs. Be right back.
-See you. -Bye.
-Everything is so different already. -Agreed.
We barely spoke much when we first met.
Don't you think Kaori's secretive? From the beginning,
she wouldn't tell us about her crushes.
-I can be that way. -We never know who you're into!
-Who are you into? Tell us! -True, I want to know.
Tell us.
-Who do I like? -She's very evasive.
-All the time. -You don't say much.
That is my tendency.
-I'm pretty interested in Shohei. -Oh, really?
"Interested"? Maybe I mean...
-You want to get to know him better? -Exactly.
-Good thing Chawari is coming up. -That's right.
Kenny struck me as so mature at first. Watching this reminded me of that.
Hearing that he doesn't get jealous made me think he's such an adult.
Nowadays, I feel really at home when he's around.
Really?
-"At home" meaning what, exactly? -I'm not sure,
but when I'm home and he's here, too, I'm always like, "Yay, it's Kenny!"
"Yay, Kenny!" like you could fall in love with him?
I do see him as a potential partner.
-Whoa. -Or, how should I say...
I feel the most comfortable with him when it comes to discussing my future.
My impression of him has changed, too. I see him very differently than before.
Is Ruka still cute to you?
-He is. -Isn't he?
He caught my attention at first because he's so cute.
Yeah.
But lately...
I find Kenny a lot of fun to talk to.
Or rather, since I hadn't talked to him much before,
I'm enjoying getting to know him now.
These days, I have the most fun when I'm hanging out with him.
-You can say good morning now. -That's right.
-I told him yesterday, too. -You're both so cute.
-You said good morning yesterday, too? -Yeah.
So, you like Kenny at the moment?
Do I like him? Well...
-he's the most manly amongst them. -Agreed.
That scene after you say, "Haruka is cute,"
and they cut to the girls' room and Haruka is mentioning you...
-You were both interested in each other. -It appears so.
-Now you can just-- -We were on the same page.
-You should ask her to lunch. -Tomorrow morning, you should say,
"I didn't realize you had your eyes on me, Haruka.
Want to get lunch?"
-You should try it. -There's no way.
-It might be easier to ask her out now. -Yeah.
Don't you think...
-I don't know... -What is it?
I just...
Based on our conversation earlier with Risako,
it seems like we like the same person again.
-Know what I mean? About Kenny? -Ah, I see.
-I see what you mean. -I'm genuinely interested in him.
-Really? I assumed you were into Ruka. -Ruka is still very cute and interesting.
I'd like to keep chatting and hanging out with him.
-But lately, I'm intrigued by Kenny. -I didn't know that.
You mentioned he was hard to talk to, so I assumed that you'd given up on him.
That is, in fact, how I felt,
but lately we've gotten to chat more and more.
Really?
He's the only person I see as a potential partner.
-I get that. -Yeah.
So your interest was revived
once you'd gotten more comfortable talking to him?
Exactly. I want to go out with him more often. And keep chatting.
So, you wouldn't like it if Risako and Kenny hung out together?
I want to ask him out before that happens.
-Whoa. Nice. -Yeah.
Am I being territorial?
Yeah, you are.
I do tend to be greedy.
-Aren't you seeing a show together? -I haven't asked him yet.
-You haven't? -We haven't spoken much since then.
You should strike while the iron's hot and you're on a roll.
-Morning. -Good morning.
-Are you creating schedules? -No.
-I'm calculating fat percentages. -Fat percentages?
Yeah, and overall weight balance.
Wow.
What's up these days?
-These days? -Yeah.
I'm enjoying life.
Work and all.
What about Ruka?
-Ruka? -Yeah.
I care about his well-being, and whether he's had a good day.
Usually, I confide more about myself to people that I like.
But that's not the case with Ruka.
I care more about how he's feeling, or whether he's having a good time.
-The opposite of your usual tendency? -Yeah.
You seem to confide in Kenny a lot.
-Kenny is-- -About yourself, I mean.
He's the easiest to talk to when I have something serious on my mind.
Okay, I see.
To put it simply,
I wish Ruka was a bit more mature, or could hang out when I wanted to drink.
I could maybe see him as a potential partner if that were the case.
-You prefer someone who can drink. -It's not a hard rule, but...
he feels exclusively like a daytime buddy.
-I see. -Yeah.
-Here it is. The best curry ever. -Yay!
Thanks for cooking.
-Please, eat. -Okay.
Let me warm up the cheese naan.
That's a good idea.
I'll feed you the best curry in the world.
Yay!
-Wow, looks delicious! -Bon appétit.
-Tasty. -Yeah.
The curry by itself is too spicy for me.
-Too spicy? -Yeah, for my taste.
I accidentally searched for "curry" just now.
LAST DAY OF RECORDING!!! - KENNY
-When will Kenny be back? -He said 10:00 p.m., so soon.
That naan is so fragrant.
The smell of that naan is filling the house.
-Is it good? -It's delicious.
-When is Kenny's birthday, again? -June 2nd.
-We still have time. -True.
We should celebrate since he'll be finished recording, too.
-True, we should party. -We'll think of something.
Maybe we'll just drink like crazy.
-Would you like curry? -No, I'm okay. Thank you.
Kenny isn't home yet?
He should be back around 10:00 p.m., so not long from now.
That's what he said.
Welcome home.
-Welcome home. -Hi. Oh, everyone's here.
-Welcome back. -Hope work went well.
Something smells really good.
Come take a load off.
-Time to relax. -How did recording go?
-I finished all my parts. -Nice.
-We finished a big chunk of it. -Congrats.
You bought something from here again.
I'm preparing for an event.
-What event is it? -Moleskine...
This brand of notebooks called Moleskine.
-Whoa! -Do you recognize them?
I totally do. They're super popular.
-Yeah. -You have no clue, huh?
Guilty as charged.
Is that a first draft?
This is for the media crew that will be at the event.
So I drew these, and I'll pen their names individually tomorrow.
Wait, what?
-Company names like Ginza or Fashion Snap. -That's crazy!
You'll draw on the spot?
I'll draw them there, but they made appointments and gave me their names.
-So I already-- -Did you cut your hair?
-You noticed? I got a trim. -It looks tidier.
-I'm happy now. No one else noticed. -For real?
-I cut my hair, too. -Show us.
There's no way I could've notice.
-I trimmed it again. -How could I have known?
-Why? -You had a hat on.
Oh, I get it.
-I cut it today. -It's getting shorter and shorter.
-It looks good. -It does.
Kenny, when would you like to go out for lunch?
-Lunch? -Didn't we talk about doing lunch?
I remember you saying, "Let's be cafe buddies."
-We should hit up a cafe. -Yeah.
Kaori, are you free after all for dinner on the 18th?
-We were going to go for truffles, right? -Yeah.
-Wait, maybe we can do next week. -Oh, next week?
Next week would work for me. I'm free on the 18th.
That sounds good. I think next week works better for a lot of us.
Really? Then let's confirm for that date.
-Okay, lunch on the 18th. -Yay.
-It's a Saturday. -Can we go out for truffles next week?
-Not on the 18th? -A Saturday hang.
-Yeah, why? -Know any good places?
Had you decided on the 18th initially?
-Yeah, but we can move it to next week. -Oh, really?
-That's a fancy outfit. -Thanks, it's from Hawaii.
-Your signature Hawaiian style. -It's so cute.
-Hawaiian style. -Yeah.
-What's up with that face? -I just...
Are we making them change their schedule to accommodate us?
-No, no. We knew it might change. -You did?
-The timing didn't really work for us. -Right.
-Okay, thanks. -You're so polite.
Well, they are my seniors.
-It's in my calendar. -Okay.
Where should we go?
These three are cute.
-Are you okay? -Yes, thanks for asking.
This stuff easily goes down the wrong tube.
Are you drinking Tumugi?
The one that was frozen.
-What's Tumugi? -It's really good.
-A Japanese spirit. -The clear stuff, right?
-It tastes like Pocari Sweat. -Like Pocari?
-It's similar. -I like Pocari.
Well, I might've exaggerated.
Which one should we do?
-Oh, I taste it. -Right?
Do you taste Pocari?
It's very subtle, but yeah.
-I want some of that. -It's good.
When everyone is settled, I want to drink on the roof.
-Let's do it. -I want to, too.
-Shall we? -I'm not drinking, but I'll hang.
I'm gonna take a bath.
-Going for a bath? Me, too. -Yeah.
-Let's go. -Okay.
I wanted to ask him out for the 20th.
To ask Kenny to the live show, you mean?
But it's the exact same thing we did last time.
-The show? -It's the same one as two weeks ago.
Same time, same place?
-Same venue. -I see.
And same musician.
I think that's fine. There could be more to talk about this time.
I... suppose so. Yeah, maybe.
Especially if Kenny was into it, too.
Kenny said his friend will be performing, too.
-That works out nicely. -Yeah.
It's hard to ask someone out. Don't you find it difficult?
-You mean because of Risako? -Well, everyone was there.
It's hard to ask in that atmosphere.
Risako brought up their lunch date while we were discussing...
-I heard that! -...our group outing on the 18th.
She did, didn't she?
So it would be easier for you to ask him out
-if Risako wasn't around? -That might be the case.
-I see. -Yeah.
-Have you gotten better at golf, Shohei? -I have.
-Really? -I've been practicing so hard.
-Every day? Are you gonna go again? -I'd like to.
Do you want to see my swing?
-Yes. Give it your all. -Show us.
-Sure. -I want to see it, too.
I'll show you in slow motion, like on sports news.
He's so serious.
-Are you ready? -Of course.
The slow motion starts there?
I can't help but think about her.
I see what you mean.
-I guess so, huh? -You know what I mean?
Initially, you were the closest with Shohei.
Yeah. Well, for me...
-You two went out to play golf, right? -Yeah.
Before you went, I didn't think much of it.
But since you got back, Shohei hasn't stopped practicing his putting form.
-Which makes me think... -He had a lot of fun?
Yeah. I wonder if he had a lot of fun,
or if he's trying to master the craft to be closer to you.
I think about it more than I thought I would.
Yeah. That's kind of where I'm at, too.
We're in the same boat.
You can be open about asking him out.
I might head upstairs and try to ask him out now.
Really?
Will you come with me?
Should we say we came to share a drink?
I won't drink, but I want to just go up there and be like, "By the way..."
Good idea. Let's do it.
-Let's go together. -Okay.
-Are you interested in golf? -I'd like to give it a try.
Even just the driving range is a lot of fun. Let's go sometime.
-Oh, hey! -Can we join?
Good evening.
Shohei was just boasting and telling absolute lies.
About what?
-Saying that-- -You don't follow the ball with your eyes.
That you told him it's a rookie's mistake to watch the ball.
Risako, will you come grab drinks with me?
-Sure. -Thank you.
Duck, meaning pigeon-toed?
-What are you drinking? -What would you like?
-Water, please. -Water? Okay.
So, you mean bowlegged?
Duck meaning this, like a duck walks.
I see.
It's all in the knees.
By the way, are you still going to the show on the 20th?
-I want to go, yeah. -You do?
-Okay, let's go. -Wait, when is it?
It's probably in the evening.
-The 20th is so soon. -Right around the corner.
I lost track of time.
Okay.
-Thank you. -No problem.
-What's so funny? -I wasn't laughing.
I want coffee, too. I want coffee!
Oh, no, his addiction is flaring up!
-Oh, dear. -I want the coffee that Kenny makes.
Wow, how subtle.
-0% subtlety. -How many cups?
-I want one! -Me, too.
There's quite a few.
Can you make it up here?
-No, I'm going downstairs. -Then I'll help you.
-Good for you. -Here we go.
Aren't I helpful? Take my lead.
-I was about to get up. -Come with us, then.
-The more, the merrier. -Okay, I'll come.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa! -Wow.
-What's happening? -Crazy.
-Look at that teamwork. -It's so much.
One week's worth of events has been--
-Thickly condensed. -Into about eight minutes of footage.
Indeed.
Having rivals in the house tends to make things heat up quickly.
Won't they feel bad once this airs?
-There will be hurts feelings. -Risako will be taken aback.
I think Kaori meant well, but what she did will make it feel like...
they're ganging up on Risako.
It's understandable if she takes it that way.
The epic battle of Corvette versus parkour.
-Impressive. -Crazy.
-Things move fast. -It's a sight to see.
The Corvette revs louder and louder. Parkour spins faster and faster.
Wow.
-The Corvette would win. -Plus, they each want
-a different person than last week. -You're so right!
-Such a quick shift. -Wow!
Ruka might be feeling quite bitter on the inside right about now.
Sad and bitter.
-It was obvious, wasn't it? -So obvious.
-How hellish. -He looked so confused.
"Hold on... Just a minute ago, we saw the footage
that revealed that Haruka and I liked each other."
"And what about Risako sleepily asking me to be her boyfriend?"
Did she honesty just want one more game of Speed?
Or maybe she just felt that way that night.
-Interesting. -She was a bit tipsy, too.
-And his pretty face... -That happens from time to time.
-Agreed. -A reckless night.
-Yes, that was one. -Was it?
In the end, the sensual musician will always be popular.
The quirkiness they noticed at the start is now endearing to them.
Same principle as when a gruff guy rescues a puppy and suddenly he's attractive.
So how many puppies would I have to rescue for that theory to apply?
Puppies won't do the trick for you, Yamachan.
You'll need to master horseback archery or something grand like that.
-You're right. -In Yamachan's case.
Absolutely. Horseback archery would work beautifully.
Calm and collected like this.
-Wow, so hot! -Super cool.
Wait, how far are you going?
But that has to somehow come up in everyday life.
-That'll be tricky. -We need to see that side of you!
Horseback archery is not allowed on public roads.
Terrace House is suddenly out of this world.
-Insane. -What a 180.
-So interesting. -Astounding.
In Risako's case, she takes the group's feelings into consideration
before taking action.
She tries not to make waves.
But once Haruka chooses her target, her approach is highly aggressive.
-Pedal to the floor. -That's true.
She herself is a Corvette incarnate.
-That's right. -Meet Haruka "Corvette" Okuyama.
-So cool. -Middle name, Corvette.
Middle name, Corvette.
So, it's true.
She's drawn to things that have already been claimed by someone else.
-Precisely. -She can't even hide it.
Has Risako lost all interest in Ruka already?
-So sudden. -So abrupt.
It had seemed like she couldn't get enough of him before.
She confided in Kenny once and received some run-of-the-mill advice.
Because he has some perspective to offer on the future, she likes him now?
Has something so unbearable happened to her off camera?
There's got to be some deterrent.
Maybe Ruka inhales weirdly when he speaks.
-Wait, what? -Say that again.
Ruka's like, "S-s-so, hey, about that th-th-thing we did the other day..."
-The camera would definitely capture that. -What kind of tick is that?
What else could've compelled her to change her mind so suddenly?
It has to be something dramatic like that.
-They were all over each other. -I remember.
He must come off as astonishingly childish
to both Risako and Haruka.
At first, they latched onto him because he was adorable.
But maybe the cuteness got old really quick. He's very shy and fidgety.
Like, he is cute, but...
He lacks masculinity?
Right.
What if this has been the plan all along?
Like we discussed last week.
She wants to safeguard her chances with Ruka,
so she's tricking Haruka into believing she likes Kenny.
-But perhaps she's not that cunning. -I'd be impressed if she were.
-What's a scheme that would be! -A mastermind scheme.
The regular drama is more interesting.
-I like both scenarios. -Me, too.
I hate that musicians ultimately end up being the popular ones.
I thought we'd finally get to see that sort of guy
being the butt of the joke for a few weeks.
That's what I show up here for.
-Your glory days were numbered. -They were.
I was enjoying myself, and now it's all been taken from me.
Now we'll just watch him score, right? I want to puke.
-We don't know what'll happen yet. -That's right.
Oh, we do. What else could possibly happen at this point?
A moment like this, where he has the attention of two people,
could be foreshadowing his ultimate demise.
That's right. They may go to dinner with him and think,
"Wait, he's still super boring." That could happen.
I see.
The bar was set so low before they were interested in him,
but now that it's risen, he might just kick it over.
Right. This could make or break him.
Kenny could do one tiny little thing that gets on one of their nerves,
-enough to make them go, "I'm over him." -He could mess up.
Maybe he sneezes while he's playing guitar and...
What's happening?
What's with that tick?
SPiCYSOL would disband immediately.
There's no way they could get an audience after that.
This is so cute.
-Isn't it great? -Yeah, I could...
Hey, we should go to this cafe!
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
-Take me here! -We can get lunch somewhere
-and then go for coffee there. -It's a date.
-I want to buy one of those, too. -You do?
Yeah, I love it.
-A present? -Did you buy a Mother's Day gift?
-No. -Me neither.
We failed.
I've been chatting with Kaori a lot about how much...
I've been enjoying Kenny's company lately.
-Yeah, I've noticed. -What?
You have?
-From me? -No, Kaori likes him, right?
-I mean me. -Sorry, I hadn't noticed that.
But Risako and Kenny are super close now.
How have you handled that in the past?
-I've never been in this situation. -I see.
I've always minded my own business.
I've only ever liked people who I knew had feelings for me.
-Okay. -Now that I think about it.
-Hey. -Hey. I grabbed more layers.
Kenny really doesn't disclose how he feels about anyone.
In my opinion, the relationship between Kenny and Risako
is very much like mentor and student.
That's how it reads to me.
I thought that was the case between them, too.
She says she sees him as a potential partner.
I figured she may feel that way about him.
To me, it seems like she has feelings for Kenny.
I thought that from the start.
Where's that mug from? It's so cute.
-It's mine. -Oh, okay.
-It's my favorite mug. -There's lipstick all over it.
-Oh, that's mine. -I see.
-Thank you. -And this one...
Thank you.
-Is there a certain way to drink this? -No.
-Where's Ruka? -He went to sleep.
-He did? -He fell asleep while grinding the beans.
-It's nice and warm. -Thank you.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
I could only pour one cup at a time, so the first cup might be lukewarm.
-Who has it? -Mine isn't very hot.
-Do you want this one? It's hot. -No. Well...
-Let's trade. -Thank you.
-What were you talking about? -Huh?
I was asking her to teach me more...
-about golf. -That's right.
I'm sorry it's not more exciting, but we talked about golf the whole time.
We were discussing Tiger Woods.
I have one last task I need to work on. Thank you for the coffee.
-I'll get back to work. -You have more work to do?
-Oh, creating a motif? -Yeah, exactly.
-Good night. -Good night.
-Where are you taking that? -I actually have...
-an article I need to write, too. -Oh, really?
I see.
-Good evening. -Good evening.
At this time, we'd like to present a special program.
This is a bonus episode in light of Yamachan's recent wedding announcement.
We hereby present the Wedding Celebration of the Century for Yamachan.
Yes.
Most viewers in Japan are probably already aware of this news.
But since Terrace House has global popularity,
we'd like to take a moment to share this happy gossip from our tribe.
-Yes. -We owe you that much.
Exactly.
He used to be the poster child of men who are unpopular with women.
But recently, he has chosen
to partner in marriage with one of Japan's most beloved lead actresses.
So we've carved out some time to bring you this news.
Without further ado, let's bring out the man of the hour.
He is now the only married person on our panel!
-She's right. -Welcome, Yamasato! Here he comes!
Man of the hour!
Hello, I am the man of the hour.
We'd like you all to know how shocked we are by this news in Japan.
Apologies for making waves.
-Can I mention one thing? -Please.
-You're no playboy. -Definitely not.
-Nope. -You're not that cool.
I never thought I'd feel so different after a single homerun.
-What's it like? -Wait, hold on for one second.
None of us has congratulated him.
-I haven't heard it. -Oops, we forgot.
-No one has said it yet. -I didn't think so.
Quite frankly, I have no desire to congratulate him.
Tokui!
Not one bit. Do I look like I could possess such a feeling?
-Right? -Wishing you an expedient divorce.
-Oh, no. -Agreed.
I have to point out
that Torichan noticed I'd only been eating salads
from our on-set catering lately, in preparation for something.
Her observation has been picked up by the news.
All of a sudden, he's only eating salads.
I look down on you, Tokui, for eating so much fried food.
He's your senior.
In fact, I ate five fried scallops today.
This may be the first and last time that my name trends on Twitter.
-That's right. -You're trending on Twitter?
You're now "the world-famous Yamachan."
-Really? -I didn't even have to fry any chicken.
I didn't have to fry chicken like Shohei to impress the world.
Turns out, the woman who I'm grateful to now call my wife
has a dedicated following throughout East Asia.
Many people in Asia have been googling my name.
They've been wondering who this lucky guy called Yamachan
who was able to marry Yu Aoi
-actually is. -Oh, I see. That's the catalyst?
I'm the top search for, "Who is that guy?"
You just said, "married to Yu Aoi."
For you to say that...
What does that feel like?
-What's it like? Is it thrilling? -Is it?
I got a little excited just hearing it.
-Yeah. -I can barely keep it together myself.
It's rare that I announce her name in public like this.
Does she use the kanji for "inexperienced" to write her name?
-Yes, you're right. -Oh, yeah.
Not the kanji for "the color blue"?
-No, it's the kanji for "unemployed." -Unemployed Yu.
I've only ever known inexperienced Yu's.
I'm sorry for going on and on about my love life.
She seems like a good catch.
-I'm so grateful. -I'm a huge fan of hers.
-Me, too. -Me, as well.
-Shono is like a brother to her. -That's right.
-Really? -We've co-starred in plays and movies.
I've known her since I was a teenager.
Nonchalantly in conversation, he would mention things about my wife.
It would catch me off guard
how well they know each other.
-Really? -They're super close.
-So true. -You would say stuff.
She told me that she loves this show,
and that she admires Yamachan. And I told him that.
To be honest, this marriage wouldn't have happened
if it weren't for my role on this show. Thank you for this treat.
This show's gossip led me to her.
-Is that right? -is that true?
The main reason she and I met for dinner was so that I could divulge gossip...
about this show.
Home dinners and restaurant outings evolved around this show?
That's correct.
Because you've been opinionated about other people's relationships,
you've expressed your views about love through this show,
and so she gets where you're coming from.
She understood your values.
Watching us, she said she would react to the same points.
-That's exactly what happened. -I knew it.
-She was disgruntled at the same details. -Got it.
I owe all of this to Terrace House.
Our relationship is a Terrace House marriage.
-That's how I view it, too. -I can see that.
Viewers of my YouTube channel have been concerned
that my commentary will lose its edge,
or they worry about how my character will contribute to the show now.
I have worried that by being married,
happiness will consume me, and I'll start cheering for true love.
We've also received many questions on that topic.
Will you continue to play a lame character?
-I've been asked this a lot. -What about your harsh opinions?
Turns out you're not lame anymore.
Let me point out that the fact that I got married
doesn't erase my past of being bad at dating.
All I've done is found the one person who likes me.
My experience and feelings about being bad at dating are still there.
I still live from the point of view of a lame dude,
so I think I'll see popular guys and still hate them equally.
But what if your happiness overpowers your past?
-That's weak. -The lame--
I don't think it will.
-Yu is onto you now. -Don't you think that's weak?
I dreamed of gaining the maturity that would make my lameness disappear.
But I don't think I've changed at all.
Well, we'll see how everything goes with today's episode...
-Are we your experiment? -Yes, I'd like to see what happens.
If I start cheering for love today, then you'll know I've changed.
-I see. -If you cheer on a housemate.
If I start saying things like,
"What a great romance," then it's a wrap.
When that happens, I'll remove my glasses and quietly leave.
-So you met your now wife two months ago? -Correct.
-We've been filming this entire time. -Like nothing was happening.
How have you been feeling as you critiqued the housemates on this show?
-Good point. -How do you really feel about Ruka?
I wonder about that.
I haven't fabricated anything and have stayed true to my feelings.
I wasn't looking down on him because I was dating someone.
-Really? -Not at all.
I have no regrets.
You've compartmentalized?
Yes. I've also taken time to compare my comments
from before and after I began dating.
I... Yes, I took the time to do this.
You've been very busy.
-Did you really? -Yes, I've studied myself.
I have made conscious decisions to not comment
from a lofty point of view of someone in a relationship.
-Hmm. -Okay.
I didn't fabricate any lines to make it sound like
I was struggling as a single person seeking love.
-So you haven't spoken any egregious lies? -Nope.
-Okay. -I've framed myself as someone to pity.
But at your core, you're still a loser, right?
I wish I had evolved, but I am indeed the same loser.
I see, a loser is a loser whether they're happy or not.
-Wow, Torichan. -Hope that's true.
-I may become just a tad milder. -Yeah.
-I would love for you to remain a loser. -Me, too.
Well, I apologize in advance for the possibility that I could mature
and start to find hope in true love.
-I thought you were my comrade. -Sorry, bro.
I'm sorry. You're the only one here who can't get a date.
-That's a blatant lie. -Something has changed.
-Shochan has no problems there. -Oh, really?
-We have some serious things to discuss. -We do?
We've received questions from prestigious women's magazines.
-Okay. -Now that Yamachan is married,
will he end his YouTube commentary channel?
-Will you stop? -Please, let me continue.
I have no plans to stop.
-Can you do it? -Yes, I will do my best.
-Just like before. -Of course.
-As the loser you are? -As my loser self.
-Promise? -To become more of a loser?
-I will ascend in my level of loser-ness. -Next-level loser?
The best loser I can be.
-You promise? -I do.
With this new perspective, I will uncover new angles
to hate people with and pursue them.
Just because you're married, doesn't mean you suddenly became hot.
-Good point. -So true.
Marriage has not turned you into a guy who is in demand.
Exactly! I am 100% hotter than you will ever be.
-That's a good reminder. -One hundred percent!
I was so popular at a barbecue just yesterday.
-At a barbecue? -So in demand.
-You should barbecue, too. -I should.
-On to the next question. -There's more?
Will you all be discussing the future of the show
based on how the public reacts to news of Yamachan's marriage?
It seems people are adamant on me quitting the show.
-It's making people anxious. -I see that.
Thank you, journalists, for the absolutely unwarranted concern.
So you are dedicated to your role as the loser on this show?
-Yes, I am. -You are.
I would really like it if you could intensify your monstrous nature.
I hope you become a ravenous monster
with a different point of view than before.
I think it's all about timing.
Maybe bring all of your marital frustrations
-and use that in your commentary. -I see.
I can find a new flavor of disgruntlement.
You're the only married person in our group.
-I can't believe it. -Now that you say it.
Give us your hate gossip now as a married person.
We'll ask you for advice from now on.
-Situationally... -With examples?
Like, "What happens in a marriage when..."
-We'll bring questions like that to you. -I see what you'll want to ask.
But I only have a tiny frame of reference.
I really hope you have an affair.
So I've seriously considered starting a rumor...
that you've been dealing on the black market.
-Great idea. -Agreed.
-Didn't you mention that? -No, not at all.
-I remember you did. -And that you're a lone wolf.
-I'm not a lone criminal. -You said that.
You don't have a crew. You work alone.
You don't earn 700 million yen by working in a crew.
-Why have you increased the crime? -Exactly.
People think she married me for money, as Yu has insinuated.
Honestly, I wouldn't blame her.
It would be fitting.
Our show will continue as it has so far.
-We hope you'll continue to watch. -Please and thank you.
