-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's events... Who remembers? -What is going on?
The girls' discussion!
-Various issues came up. -That was chilling.
Risako and Haruka discussed their connections with Kenny.
It feels weird to me not to share our thoughts about Kenny with each other.
So I think Kenny is attractive,
and I'd like to continue to plan dates with him.
I, on the other hand, feel uncomfortable discussing details like that.
They're brewing up some delightful tension at the moment.
But they all agreed on the fact that the men have been too reserved.
-The girls are always initiating dates. -They have a point there.
They also agreed that Kenny is the least proactive of them all.
He said he wanted to approach romance openly from day one.
Yeah, that made me think he would be much more assertive.
-Didn't it? -Surprisingly, he's the exact opposite.
It was a lie. He has no motivation.
When he wasn't receiving any attention, the stress motivated him to act.
But once he knew people were interested, he regressed to being catered to.
-He became less proactive. -That's true.
-They expressed these thoughts to the men. -Yes, indeed.
So then Ruka stepped up.
-So obedient! -He followed the advice dutifully
-and asked Kaori out. -Immediately. Without hesitating.
There's no resistance when you're that young.
-It's admirable. -He accepts feedback readily.
-I'd like to start drawing. -Okay.
But I don't have tools... Or, what was it...
Sketching materials and...
-I'd like to shop for them with you. -I'm down.
He called art supplies "art tools."
-Yes, "art tools." -So cute.
-"Let's go buy art tools together." -So cute.
-I admire how quickly he bounced back. -Right?
As an adult, we make excuses, like,
"I should ask her, but work is really crazy this week.
Maybe I'll ask her out once things have settled down a bit."
But it seems like you were able to seize the moment, Yamachan.
-Well, I-- -He acted within two months.
Yes, I got married after two months of dating.
Because you have less experience with complicated relationships,
you act with the honesty of an adolescent heart.
I think it was more that I felt like I'd never get another chance like that.
Like, "It can't get any better than this."
You act quick because you think like a virgin.
That must be the case.
-Always a virgin at heart. -The heart of a virgin.
Not that there's any truth in that.
-Oh, the things I've seen! -But your heart is virgin.
What a great title.
That's the identity I've been searching for: the "Virgin at Heart."
You're the Virgin at Heart.
Last week finally ended with a clash between Risako and Haruka.
-They clashed hard. -That was pretty tense.
-You know I'm interested in him, right? -Of course.
So that is why... I get nervous around him.
-Yeah. -But I didn't want you to say that.
-I'm so sorry. -Okay...
I don't understand other people's emotions.
He might be thinking I'm really into him now.
He probably is.
-Did you hate it that much? -Yeah, I really did.
I wouldn't even imagine talking about your feelings in that way.
That's just me.
-Just you. -That's just me.
Risako didn't respond very well. She kind of laughed it off.
As if she were mocking her.
Can you, Babachan and Torichan, recreate that scene?
Who's playing who?
-Torichan, you play Haruka. -I'm Haruka?
-Go back to that moment. -Excited to see this.
I didn't want you to tell Kenji...
Ah, well...
Your eyes are that bad?
-Your eyesight is that bad? -Babachan!
-Your eyesight is holding us back? -That's the dilemma?
-Your eyesight-- -Babachan!
What a classic joke, like from Shinkigeki.
Torichan was so professional about it.
-You took it so seriously. -I'm sorry, really! I'm so sorry.
-Babachan, you should use this. -Yeah, that's better.
-Torichan, can you see that? -Yes, I can.
-This is the line. -Then I'll read from there.
I didn't want you to tell Kenny...
Oops, sorry. I really don't understand people's feelings.
Kenny might be thinking that I've really fallen for him.
Yeah, he probably does. Was it really that bad?
I really didn't like it. I would never say such a thing.
But that's just me.
That's just you, I guess.
-She messed up. -What a great reenactment.
That response won't fare well for Risako.
The tension in that scene was palpable.
The incident makes so much more sense now.
Thank you for breaking that down.
Then Haruka went to the guys' room and started crying.
That's right. When she lifted her face, she couldn't hold back the tears.
The frustration and the sadness just overflowed.
-But she was trying so hard to hold back! -She didn't want to cry!
But she just couldn't keep it together any longer.
But does a grown person need to be crying over such a thing?
Good point.
-You're right. -That's valid.
I'm guessing those tears are her weapon to attract empathy from men.
-She is an actress, after all. -She can cry on cue.
-I honestly don't believe those tears. -I see.
Oh, nice, you're picking up some great habits from Yamachan.
He's passing down the torch. How beautiful.
Shochan, I didn't realize that humans could fake their tears.
-Whoa! Yamachan is evolving, too. -You're incredible.
Having to enjoy that soy milk soup as a trio
instead of it just being Haruka and Kenny
-might've also irritated her. -She wanted some time alone.
-She made it for Kenny. -That's right.
I might be irritated by that.
You mean like, "Why is she having some?"
More like, "Read the room and get lost."
-Torichan! -Brutally honest.
I like that, Torichan.
-I might feel that way. -I get that.
I would like them to continue clashing. It's a treat to watch.
I suppose this is inevitable with women.
-Yeah. -A head-on collision.
If Kenny doesn't deliver on the assertiveness, I'll be irritated.
I agree with you there.
What's up?
So, I...
What?
What's going on?
Here.
I'm not sure how to say this.
-To get straight to the point... -Yeah?
I've been interested in you.
Though you may not have noticed.
And things got like...
I'm into you all of a sudden, right?
Though I'm not sure what you thought of that.
I actually wasn't sure what to think about that.
-Why are you crying? -I'm not sure, but...
it's just...
-It's-- -This isn't what you'd hoped for?
It's not that. It's more that...
You may not have noticed,
but I feel like I've pushed myself to get you to notice me.
And I don't know... We haven't had many opportunities to talk to one another.
Since our first interaction when you taught me guitar,
-I was into you. -Really?
Well, yeah. But...
I wasn't ready to tell you that.
In part because I didn't know how you'd feel.
But now it's no secret that I've been interested in you.
And I'm not sure where to go from here.
I see...
And also... I sense that you have feelings for Risako.
How do you feel about her?
Yeah... that's a difficult question.
-Can I have that pillow? -Oh, come over here.
-Right there? -Yeah.
I should've brought some water.
Yeah, I'm pretty thirsty.
Well...
I find all three of you attractive.
But that said...
I'm the most drawn to Risako.
Yes, I've sensed that.
But I wouldn't say I'm in love with her.
Because I feel like it hasn't been long enough for me to really...
understand her.
I would prefer if you could give me a clear answer.
If you're not interested at all, or...
If you're not attracted to me in that way, I'd like to know now.
Then I could move on.
If I drag this out,
I'll still be hoping that something could happen.
-I understand. -Yeah.
If I'm being completely honest,
I don't see you as a potential partner.
I don't see myself having romantic feelings for you.
So... we'll be friends then?
Yeah.
Got it.
KAORI WATANABE, 28 ILLUSTRATOR
SHOHEI MATSUZAKI, 25 ACTOR

RISAKO TANABE, 21 FITNESS TRAINER
RUKA NISHINOIRI, 20 PART-TIME RETAIL EMPLOYEE
-I spoke with him. -Okay.
Yeah.
-About what? -About what happened earlier.
I told him how I felt.
Because that was revealed to him sooner than I would have liked.
I asked him about how he's been feeling lately.
Stuff like that.
-Okay. -And...
he told me that he hadn't seen me in a romantic light
and he doesn't see me as a potential partner,
which is what I'd been sensing already.
Well, I'm sorry.
I mean, you say you're sorry, but...
you're not really sorry, are you?
-No, I'm not. -I didn't think so.
So what am I supposed to say...
Well, it's not that I'm not sorry. It's more like...
I do feel bad if I did something that made you feel bad.
But what would've been the right thing to do in that moment, then?
There is no right answer, really.
It's just that I've never seen anyone
reveal another person's feelings in front of their crush.
I've never seen that happen.
-It never even seemed like a possibility. -Right.
You could have denied it, though, right?
It's not about that. You shouldn't have said it.
But you know that I'm into him as well, don't you?
-I do, but I would never say anything. -But you would talk about
how excited you were to hang out with Kenny, and...
Isn't it fine for me to try to make a connection with him?
Yeah. And I noticed you were doing that, so--
-But you didn't need to interject. -So you expect me to just sit and watch?
Not that you should watch, but you shouldn't say--
-Should I have left and gone upstairs? -It's as if you were mocking my feelings.
I would've let you two do whatever and not thought about it.
I can't do that. That's irritating to me.
But just the other day, when Kenny came home drunk,
the two of you were flirting in front of me at the dinner table,
talking about how fun your date was.
And I just sat quietly while that was going on.
You should've said something.
-I wouldn't do that. -Well, I would.
I understand now how different we are in the way we approach things,
so I'm going to filter how much I share with you.
You should do that.
It's not that I hate you after this experience.
I just think our personalities are very different.
There have been plenty of instances we've seen that.
-There have been. -From the get-go.
And there are plenty of things that I haven't mentioned.
-There are for me, too. -Right?
I don't understand why you're trying to look like a goody two-shoes.
I'm being a goody two-shoes?
Most nights, I've been sitting right here hanging out in the girls' room
while you're out drinking.
But now all of the sudden,
-you want to be buddies? -You want me to stay out?
Do you understand why I wasn't here?
You say that I hang out more with the guys.
But since day one, you've been ganging up with Kaori.
When I'd enter the room, the conversation would freeze.
-Is that not a natural reaction? -The conversation would stop.
I don't think that's normal. At least not for me.
The conversation would very obviously stop when I came in.
-That's why I haven't-- -Haven't we asked you about that?
About what?
The two of us would be talking
and then you'd arrive and say, "Well, I don't want to interrupt."
-And we've never-- -I've never said that.
From my point of view,
it'd seem like you were in the middle of something, so I'd offer to go downstairs.
-Out of politeness. -Okay.
Somehow that's translated into me being passive aggressive, like...
-You tend to frame everything negatively. -That's just what I heard.
-That's what it sounds like. -That's just how you perceived it.
I'm not even sure what to think of you wanting to be friends
seemingly out of the blue.
-Nothing you say seems authentic. -With Kenny--
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
Remember how you said you know how you'll appear on-screen
because of your experience acting? I'm not saying that's untrue.
If you're such a good actress, you could've acted less obvious around him.
Stop wearing your heart on your sleeve,
saying maybe you like him, or you don't, or whatever.
I'm not sure what to say when you prance around like you like him,
and then berate me for pointing it out.
I'm not berating you.
-You don't think? -No.
You're always thinking about yourself in every situation.
Like what?
Saying I should've denied what you said.
You never think you've done anything wrong.
I did, then you said something and I apologized. So what's the deal?
-That's fine, then. -Then let's leave it.
-I don't see what you're trying to get at. -I don't understand you, either.
-I'm not making sense? -No.
I'm really done with your victim narrative.
I'm not framing myself as a victim, I'm just telling you what bothers me.
Why would you even mention that I think I know how I come off on-screen?
Considering everything we've said, what does it matter?
I've kept your secrets, like how you're actually a smoker.
-You smoke, too. -I'm not hiding it.
You hide it because you're a trainer, right?
This is what I'm talking about with you.
You try to get back at people when they've done things you don't like.
You've done things that I don't like and I haven't been out for revenge.
And this is an example.
You have things you want to keep private, and I've respected those boundaries.
But you revealed something I didn't want to be known.
I've worked as an actress for five years, and--
Like I said, you're aware of how you come across on-screen.
You can't help it, right?
Well, I just understand how it works.
I'm just reiterating that you mentioned that.
I haven't said you're trying to construct an image.
That basically is what you're saying.
All right, whatever.
This might be the worst fight in Terrace House history.
-We have arrived. -That was a gory scene!
Wow.
-This is... -The most intense fight ever!
-We haven't seen this before. -No, never anything this bad.
We've seen an attack on one person.
But we haven't seen a head-on battle like this.
The back-and-forth was so long.
They both have strong personalities and neither one would back down.
It's like watching an elite-level match of tennis.
If we were judges, our heads would be non-stop back-and-forth.
They both keep smashing the ball and neither one will give in.
What a match! But eventually Risako called it.
She felt she would maul her opponent if they kept going.
-Right. -Time for a cooldown.
We haven't seen a battle that's been raw and unfiltered
-to this degree. -No.
There hasn't been an argument that lasted quite so long.
No, there hasn't.
All of this over one guy.
-That's not at the heart of it. -There's more?
-That was the catalyst, but-- -It started out about a boy.
-But this has been brewing since day one. -It's been growing.
-Haruka only confides in Kaori. -It's been two-against-one from early on.
-All of that has compounded. -All of it.
They kept digging up old details, and there seemed to be no end to it.
Nope.
It must feel invigorating to let off that much stress.
-It must feel great. -Agreed.
I couldn't help but keep my abs engaged during that entire segment.
I get that.
I might have a six-pack by now.
-Just from that? -You probably do.
Terrace House is now officially branching out into fitness.
-Ladies and gentlemen-- -We now offer fitness classes.
This is slated to be hell for Kaori.
-This will be brutal for her. -I feel so bad for Kaori.
Actually, now that it's this bad, she could just say,
"There's nothing more I could do in this situation."
This entire time, Kaori must've been
absorbing much more flack than has been apparent.
Shochan has switched to addressing Risako in a formal way.
-Does she scare you? -She does.
Her fighting words are so intimidating.
-She knows how to fight with words. -She does.
Actually, both of them do.
-Women don't hold back with each other. -How terrifying.
They are no holds barred.
All respect was lost when she said, "I'm done with you."
Right.
"I'm done with your victim narrative."
-That was the moment she lost it. -Precisely.
Who can stand up to being told, "I'm done with you"?
For the most part, Haruka was trying her best to exercise logic.
Like when she tried to say,
"It's not that I hate you. It's just that we think differently."
She was trying hard to drive that home and end the conversation.
But Risako was having none of that.
She said, "It's not that I hate you..." But she definitely hates her.
-She's basically saying she does. -Right.
When you lead with denial, it means the thought has crossed your mind.
What I really would like to see is...
Haruka's Corvette happens to be parked outside,
and Risako gets in and starts driving.
Haruka yells, "No! My Corvette!"
like the famous incident of Takeshi and Sanma.
-He hit the car. -Yeah, he crashed Sanma's Range Rover.
-That would be my dream outcome. -That was funny.
She'd be like, "Stop her!"
-That would be amazing. -The crash of the Corvette.
Then if they can get a laugh out of that, we can all let it go.
I'm not sure it would resolve their issue like it did in Sanma's case.
Haruka might drag her out and beat her up.
Come in.
Hey. Sorry about everything.
-What do you mean? -For you having to deal with this.
Is Ruka asleep?
-No, he's taking a bath. -Oh, got it.
-Sorry for bringing you into this. -Into what?
What have you brought me into? I don't get it.
Well, I let slip Haruka's feelings.
Long story short, she and I spoke after that,
and she thinks that I did that to sabotage her.
So basically,
-I've lost my patience. -Wait, slow down.
She talked about me smoking cigarettes.
-I see. -So I was like, "Shots fired."
As a fitness trainer, it's not a good look,
so I've kept it a secret.
I want to be an example for my students.
I've hidden it only because I feel I have a responsibility to them.
But she outed me on that and it pissed me off.
I couldn't talk to her anymore, so I left.
Really?
I was about to explode at her.
Or more like, I just can't be with her anymore right now.
I can't.
So I'm gonna go party now.
-For real? -Yeah.
Party where?
I'm going to Eggman.
-That's some hardcore partying. -Yeah.
One thing I would like to say
is that...
I told her pretty clearly that I don't see her as a potential partner.
-You told her that? -I did.
-Okay. -Also...
she asked me what I think about you.
And I told her...
that you'd been on my mind.
So...
I think that could've been rattling for her.
-You know? -Yeah.
Well, either way...
is it cool if I head out?
Neither one of us is at fault. It's more that...
we just think so differently.
I don't think we could make up even if we tried.
It must've been frustrating for Risako as well,
since she also has feelings for Kenny.
I told him honestly that I've had feelings for him
since that time he taught me guitar.
He told me that he doesn't have romantic feelings for me.
-He doesn't see me as a potential partner. -What?
Yeah! And it ended just like that.
He turned me down before I'd confessed my feelings.
-No way. -Yeah.
Was he really that cold-hearted in his delivery when he told you that?
Well, he was less cold and more confused as to why I was crying.
I can't believe he would say such harsh things.
Or maybe that was the kind thing to do. I don't know...
-The kind thing-- -Hearing that makes me pretty irritated.
I think that's how he really feels.
I see.
How are you feeling? You were excited about him just yesterday.
I don't like him enough
to put up with that from him.
-On to the next. -I agree.
-I'm taking my guitar home. -That's right. Let's send it back!
Is she okay to be out by herself this late?
Does she have friends to hang out with at this hour?
-The last trains have left already. -Yeah. I think she took a taxi.
She went clubbing...
You're okay with that?
For her to be out by herself at this hour?
-It's dangerous for a girl by herself. -Yeah...
-I guess you're right. -This time of night is dangerous.
Will you please let her know?
I hear you, but...
I think it will makes things worse between Haruka and Risako
if I butt in now.
-Don't you think? -I should've come home earlier.
-Should I text her? -Yeah.
-Being out by herself is dangerous. -Agreed.
I don't mind going to pick her up.
I don't feel okay about this at all.
-You're right. -Yeah.
-"Read"? -No.
-I'm home. -Welcome home.
Wait... Welcome home.
-You're just getting back? -Yeah, I've been out all night.
GOING OUT FOR A DRINK. -SHOHEI HEADED TO OSAKA WITH FRIENDS. -RUKA
You went to a party?
No, some friends from Taiwan are in town,
-so we had some drinks. -Okay.
Hey.
-Morning. -Good morning.
-You just got back? -Yep, here I am.
So there's soup?
-It's really good. -There's bread to go with it, too.
Is Haruka still here?
She left earlier today.
Has Risako come home yet?
No. Do you know where she is?
-What? -You should fill him in.
About what? Did something happen?
Haruka and Risako got into a fight.
-For real? -And Risako stormed out.
-She just left? -Yeah.
I was telling Ruka about this, and he got really worried.
-Ruka's still here? -No, he left first thing in the morning.
He was still distraught when he left.
I'll try to explain everything
-as truthfully as possible. -Okay.
When I was talking to Haruka in our room,
she asked me how I felt about her.
Very straightforward.
I figured I owed it to her to be honest.
I told her that I don't see her as a potential partner.
I think it's fine that you spoke your truth.
But you did understand that Haruka was feeling hurt
because Risako had revealed her feelings to you against her wishes.
So you understood that she was in distress in that moment, right?
-I did, yeah. -And in response,
apparently you said to her,
"What a crazy drama you're living right now, huh?"
I wasn't there, so I don't know what your tone was like.
You might've been trying to lighten the mood.
Hearing about that detail yesterday made even me angry.
Like, what "drama" are you referring to?
-Yeah, I see... You're right. -As if this had nothing to do with you.
You're right. I understand. That was really heartless of me to say.
Oh, I see. I'm following.
I'm not really sure what we could do
to help them both feel comfortable about living here.
I don't think it's on us
to help those two feel comfortable in their time at the house.
While I do care, I don't think it's something that we can control.
-I guess so. -It's not like they're children.
-That's true, but... -I suppose so.
Only those two can decide whether they want to fix this.
Also...
to be perfectly honest, this situation is not so serious
-in the grand scheme of things. -That's true.
In daily life, you can avoid someone if you don't feel like you mesh with them,
but it's difficult since they both live in the same house.
-It's too close to home. -Right.
What a peaceful thing to fight over.
-You mean Japan? -Yeah, we're very blessed in this country.
Just the other day,
there was news of a homicide not too far from here.
We need to put things into perspective
and not get so preoccupied with such small ordeals.
It's all very ridiculous.
It's really dumb.
And that's how he finds equilibrium.
Good on him. I was gearing up for a fist fight.
I had some of your soup this morning.
-Oh, really? Great. -Thank you for making it.
What time were you free again on the first?
My audition got moved,
-so I'm free all day. -Really?
Kenny is playing at 7:00 p.m. Or is it 5:00 p.m.?
-Yeah... -I can't remember which.
-Well, a lot has happened... -Yeah, I heard.
And I don't want to see his show anymore.
Yeah, no problem.
But I highly recommend Kai, so let's see that show together.
-Yeah, sure. -Let's grab tea afterwards.
Sure.
I might still check out Kenny's show after we do tea.
-That's fine. -In the evening, you know?
Kenny said, "What a crazy drama you're living."
He mumbled that in passing.
-I heard. He regrets it. -Oh, you know already...
After that, it really hit home that he doesn't have any feelings for me.
-It was clear. -Yeah?
I was also disappointed to find out that he could say such things...
so nonchalantly, or...
He didn't turn out to be who I thought he was.
-I see. -It's hard to explain.
I would've rather not heard him say that.
-Especially in that moment. -Yeah.
That's how I feel.
And so I don't want to see his shows right now.
Of course. I don't think you should force yourself to do that.
-Yeah, not at all. -Yeah...
On top of that, I had the worst argument with Risako.
Me, Kenny, Kaori, and Ruka, too, aren't taking sides with either of you.
As far as this incident goes.
It's on me to find common ground with Risako,
-or something along those lines... -Yeah.
I get it. I don't think you have to force yourselves to find a compromise.
-Yeah. -You could just
choose whatever path leads to the least resistance.
Time will take care of the rest.
-Thanks. -Don't mention it.
It's not like I've done much.
I hope I'm not appearing standoffish about this.
It helps take the pressure off when you frame it so logically.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
Hi, I'm home.
-Long time no see, Shohei. -Yeah, for real.
I've been back at dawn two days in a row.
-Have you had a lot of fun? -Yeah.
-I have, but my body is destroyed. -You partied that hard, huh?
Haruka, can I speak with you for a moment?
-Can we do it here? -Sure.
-I took a day to think about everything. -Me, too.
I thought about it, and...
in the end, I've realized that I said some things
without thinking much about how you might feel.
I misread the moment.
I hurt you with what I said because I didn't give it much thought.
I said many things that I regret, and a lot of it was
-blown out of proportion. -Same here.
I feel bad about revealing your smoking habit.
I do genuinely feel
bad about that.
I am as much to blame.
I don't think either of us did anything wrong.
It's not as if we magically understand each other better
-since yesterday, right? -Yeah.
So I don't think you have to apologize
in an effort to look after my feelings or smooth things over.
There's no need for us to...
force ourselves to become buddies at this point.
That feels contrived to me.
I'm not trying to smooth things over, per se...
You're right. It doesn't make sense for us to force a friendship.
I think this whole situation was born out of us not understanding each other well.
I would like to spend some time to try to understand your point of view.
I think that sounds great.
I'd like to explore where we do think alike
and where we disagree, or where we have different opinions.
Even if we are different, we must have some common ground.
-I'd like to focus more on those details. -Okay.
That's what I think. Make sense?
Yeah, it does.
-That's all. -Okay.
-Let's do that, then. -Okay.
HARAJUKU, TOKYO
BEAMS
-Hello. -Nice to meet you.
-Excited to work with you. -Likewise.
-Right this way. -Thank you.
We're looking at September
-as the potential release date. -September...
-For fall and winter. -Yes, for our fall and winter collection.
We'd like to incorporate your designs then.
KOHEI MIZUMURA, 37 DIRECTOR
First off, we'd like to see some rough drafts.
That way we can get a feel for the design direction you have in mind.
NAMI YOKOYAMA, 28 RETAIL EMPLOYEE
Since it's the fall/winter collection, we'll focus on long-sleeve tops.
And also hoodies.
-Oh, hoodies are an option, too. -Yes.
Prints on the front have been standard in past designs,
but we can also print on the sleeves like this as well.
Have you sold T-shirts in your own collection before?
I've handprinted designs using silkscreen transfers in the past.
So for this collection,
I'd like to try some larger motifs that have been hard to recreate on my own.
-Hello? -Good evening, this is Aizawa.
Come in.
-Good evening. -Oh, hi! Good evening.
-Good to see you. -Likewise. You smell good.
Thank you.
Would you like to sit? Welcome to the house.
Would you like that seat?
-May I? -Of course, please do.
-You brought your ukulele? -Yep!
-Please play something later. -I came prepared.
YUSUKE AIZAWA, 20 UKULELE ARTIST (EDEN KAI)
-I'm so happy to see you! -No, no.
-Your last name is Ayuzawa? -It's Aizawa.
Yusuke Aizawa.
-Where is everyone? -No one's home yet.
-It's just you? -Yeah, everyone is out.
-For real? -It's just me.
I was so confused when you rang the doorbell.
I wanted to meet everyone.
Would you like a drink?
-Sure. Water is perfect. -I guess we only have water.
I watched the fried catfish episode today.
So, you know how I'm seeing your show tomorrow?
Tomorrow? Yeah.
So I thought, "I need to catch up on the fried catfish."
So I was watching that today.
This house is huge.
Really? Even bigger than the Hawaii house?
Bigger than Hawaii? I'm not exactly sure.
-Thank you. -They're about the same size?
How have you liked Terrace House?
Terrace House? Well...
I had my first disagreement with one of the housemates yesterday.
Yesterday? The day before, actually.
Well, if you'd like to share...
-If I'd like to? -I could...
It's not much to report on. Just disagreements between the girls.
My feelings were unexpectedly revealed to
the person I had feelings for...
and stuff.
So, the person who you had feelings for,
-is it-- -It's Kenny.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
You don't live here, so it's easy to tell you.
You know what I mean? It can be tricky confiding in housemates.
-I get what you mean. -It's easier to explain things to you.
-I see. -Yeah.
I fly out the day after tomorrow,
but I think I'll be back in July.
And, well...
you mentioned you had feelings for Kenny.
If you still feel that way, that's fine.
But if you feel differently about him by the time I'm here next visit,
would you like to...
-go out with me? -Yes, let's do that.
-Yeah? Yay! -Okay.
-It feels nostalgic to be here. -It does?
-Even though the house is different. -But isn't this table always the same?
Doesn't it look the same as in the Hawaii house?
Now that you mention it...
I guess the types of tables that seat six are limited.
-I'm curious to see the rest of the house. -Of course, please.
-Wow, amazing! -Isn't it pretty out here?
-It's beautiful. -Please, have a seat.
If you're not careful, you'll get a wet butt out here sometimes.
-Around here? -Yeah.
I'll sit over here.
Isn't this great?
-This place is awesome. -Yeah.
So since then... You didn't have a girlfriend till 18, right?
Did you find one after leaving Terrace House?
There was someone that I thought I was dating.
But in the end, I was dumped after two days.
-After only two days? -Yes.
The main reason was the long distance.
-It was too difficult. -She lived in Japan?
-She was in Japan? -Yes.
That was your only relationship?
-Yeah. -Oh, I see.
I haven't dated since then.
-Not at all. -Not even casually?
Casually?
-Can't say I have. -I see.
That sort of thing is not my...
I haven't changed much from before.
The one thing I did learn is that I won't get anywhere...
if I don't take initiative to connect with someone.
I'm trying to be more assertive.
-Assertive sounds great. -That's my current focus.
You seem like you would be faithful.
Like you would devote yourself to one person faithfully.
I hope you meet someone great.
I really hope so, too.
There aren't any hopeful prospects
-in Hawaii? -None at all.
You're not in school anymore?
-I graduated high school. -Okay.
-And then... -Yeah?
...decided to focus on music immediately.
That's amazing. I admire that.
It's nothing.
-I'm cheering for you. -Thank you.
-I'm cheering for you, too. -Thank you.
We get along very well. Do you like our chemistry?
-It's easy to talk to you. -Despite only having met twice.
It feels like we're old friends.
-All right! -Get it, girl!
-Who would've thought? -He likes the older lady.
She may not be aware of how sensitive he is to all of this.
His feelings are very delicate. He wears his heart on his sleeve.
He will react to the slightest touch.
Yusuke gives me the same impression as you, Yamachan.
I wonder if he thinks he'll never have another chance with a person like her.
-There must be some of that. -Hopefully, Haruka will
recognize his feelings for her
and things will fall into place at the right time.
-That's right. -Good job, Yusuke.
-It's love at first sight for him. -That's right. I'm cheering for him.
-It all began at that concert. -That's right.
They've only met twice.
But Tokui, there's a chance that Haruka is toying with his feelings.
"Don't we get along so well?"
-"I'm cheering for you." -"Don't we get along so well?"
-He won't be able to sit still. -No way.
-What'll happen next? -He must be sopping wet.
Because his feelings are overflowing.
He'll have to peel his damp clothes off his body on the train home.
-Before it dries? -Before it congeals in his pants.
-Before it gets too heavy. -I'm going to check in with Torichan.
I can't keep a straight face.
She was trying so hard to focus beyond the cameras
and keep a straight face.
Sparks are flying.
Wait, hold on! Has the drama ended already?
So maybe with that,
things got too heated and they needed a cease-fire.
-A moment to cool down? -Right, just a moment.
Haruka is far from being over it.
-She's not satisfied. -The embers are still burning inside?
Her face during that conversation still looked cloudy towards the end.
She's thinking, "What is she trying to pull,
acting as if she's mature all of a sudden?"
She probably still feels unsettled
that Risako switched gears so quickly and wanted to apologize.
But for her, there are still many details that she's stuck on and can't let go of.
How awful was that thing Kenny said to Haruka?
"What a crazy drama you're living."
I feel like he will never find happiness.
He talks as if he has nothing to do with the whole ordeal.
I feel like Kenny is only interested in making himself look good--
-To gain popularity? -Exactly.
That's what I've been noticing. He's far too uninvested in everything.
Remember what Ruka said?
-That was so hot. -"You let her go by herself?"
-That was so great. -But Kenny...
he has a crummy attitude.
Is it because he's older, like Tokui said earlier?
His focus is all on his work?
-That's a possibility. -Is that his vibe?
He's too young to resign himself to that.
You were dating a ton at 31, weren't you?
I was all over like a hurricane.
That's what I mean! He's too young to be so placid.
Well, now you've got me all shy.
Okay, no one cares that much.
Kenny doesn't do anything. It's boring to watch.
He probably thinks too much about how he appears on-screen.
If I confirm that he's using this show for promotion and personal gain,
I will shred him to pieces with my own hands.
I believe you would do it.
We've seen this before, the vibe of someone
who is wrongfully participating in this show to gain popularity.
I'm merely concerned you'll fall into that trap, Kenny.
-Whoa! -It's really heavy.
I'm planning to take it home tomorrow.
-That case is huge. -I don't play it at all.
Okay.
Yeah. Should I open it over here?
Let me help.
Here we go.
Isn't it cute?
Nice!
-Isn't it? -It looks brand-new.
-It's not new. -It's so clean and sparkly.
But it's secondhand.
-It's secondhand? -From a friend of mine.
I brought it over thinking I could learn a few chords from Kenny.
He also offered to change my strings.
But I don't care anymore, so I think I'll take it home.
I could change the strings for you.
But is it really necessary? I can't tell.
-I change mine before every show. -Oh, I see.
I can't play a thing.
-The sight of you playing guitar was so-- -I'm home.
Welcome home.
Hey.
-Welcome home. -Hey!
-Kenny! -Wow!
-Good to see you. -Hey, you.
-Great to see you. -Thanks for coming by.
-Yeah, thanks for stopping in. -Thanks for having me.
-This is your guitar, Haruka? -Yeah.
I bought strings for you.
-But I think it's... Yeah. -You don't need it.
Really? They're not rusting?
I think it's fine, right?
Well, I guess...
So, I brought my ukulele because I wanted to play with you, Kenny.
-Can we do a jam session? -Of course.
-I'd love to play with you. -Likewise!
Please, I'd love that.
-Can I sing an original? -Sure.
Would you like to do a solo
-after I finish the chorus? -For real?
Yeah.
-Thank you so much. -Pleasure is mine.
-That was great. -You're fantastic.
No, no.
