-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.
Shochan is busy filming a movie this week.
Yes, there is a Shochan-shaped void right here.
Indeed. However, we will be joined tonight by a very special guest.
Please help me welcome, from the NBA team the Washington Wizards,
Rui Hachimura.
-Whoa! -Wow, crazy.
No way.
-For real? -No way.
RUI HACHIMURA, 21 WASHINGTON WIZARDS
-Welcome. -Wow, here he is!
-Good evening. -Hello.
-Hi! -Good evening.
Look how high his knees are.
-Wow. -Incredible.
Everyone in front of their TV sets must be stunned.
I've been a longtime fan of Terrace House.
I've been watching from the beginning.
I got many offers from other shows on this trip,
but I declined all of them.
-This is the only show I agreed to be on. -Are you for real?
People in the TV industry watching this episode must be thoroughly taken aback.
I actually asked Rui the names of the shows he was offered to appear on.
It was a plethora of reputable shows
with big-name celebrities who MC them,
-and he turned them all down. -Incredible!
-And he chose this one? -Only this show.
-Thank you so much! -It's my pleasure, really.
-How flattering. -I've always wanted to be on this show.
I would just like to ask, are you sure you're making the most of your time?
Good point.
I hope this is a good use of time for you.
Do you have any favorite scenes or housemates from the past?
-Oh, well... -I'm so curious!
-The Hawaii season was my favorite. -Interesting!
That season has a lot of great scenes,
but the best was that exchange between Guy and Niki.
-The one where Guy cascades onto her? -Yes, that one.
The one where he slides down from the sofa, right?
And they come together like Tetris pieces.
Also, my favorite character
-is the Guilty Samurai. -The Guilty Samurai!
There he goes!
In a previous episode, Kenta Maeda also said that the Guilty Samurai
was his favorite character.
-Rui has a comment to make on this topic. -What is it?
I also saw that earlier episode where Kenta Maeda was visiting.
I was able to catch it from home.
Based on his explanation, it sounded like he was also a longtime fan of the show.
That caught me off-guard. I was the one who introduced him to the show.
-The truth is out! -Is that so?
You said you've been watching the show, right?
Yes, from the very beginning.
-Wow. -From the Shonan season.
Rui couldn't stand that it sounded like
Maeda was the person who made the show popular
with his teammates when it was actually him.
That's important. He should've said, "Rui introduced me to the show--"
Well, he didn't need to bring up my name,
but he shouldn't have taken so much credit, either.
Nice. Tell him how it is.
True, he made it sound like he'd been a viewer for years.
Exactly. That's why I felt like I had to say something.
-You were right to do so. -I agree.
What type of woman do you tend to fall for?
I'm very tall, so I prefer tall women. Taller than average.
Is that so?
-You'd like the two of you to be balanced? -Yes.
Rui, I happen to have a close friend who is very tall.
-You're right! -Oh, yeah!
-This is your opportunity to repay her. -That's right!
I owe my marriage to her.
-She's a very lovely person. -Really?
Her name is Shizuyo Yamazaki.
You have my word on her height. She's six feet tall.
Whenever she's tipsy, she says, "I want tough DNA for my offspring."
-"Tough DNA"? -What a glorious aspiration!
Indestructible.
Dearest Shizu, my chance to repay you may have arrived.
-Dearest Shizu. -Dearest.
I hope great things come from this introduction.
What a great beginning.
We'll finally get to see what happened since last week.
Last week, we saw everyone celebrating Kaori with a birthday party.
-Ruka made a magnificent meal by himself. -That's right.
He put his heart and soul into it.
His cooking skills had radically improved.
Impressive growth.
Everyone had to have helped with that.
Maybe there were eight Uber Eats deliveries.
The deliverers must have swarmed the house.
-No, he cooked everything himself. -Did you catch that episode?
-I did. -The carbonara from hell?
Yes, I saw it.
I don't cook very often either.
But even I would think to at least
-look up a recipe beforehand. -A normal person would.
He didn't even bother to do that.
He didn't even know what dish he wanted to end up with.
He ran without knowing where he wanted to go, so it failed.
-But as you can see, he's getting better. -He is.
He can even make paella.
Then he gave Kaori spray-on sunscreen and perfume as a gift.
He said he wanted to protect her from infrared rays.
-That's right, he did. -So cute.
It's easy to mistake the two. Anyway...
No way, Torichan. You're too easy on him.
-Rui is very close in age to Ruka. -You're right!
You're 21 years old?
-That's right. -Only a year apart?
What kind of cushy life have you been leading, Ruka?
When next month rolls around, let's grab drinks.
-That's great timing. Let's do it. -I'd love that.
I'll let you know when I get my work schedule.
Kaori says she never knows what to talk about with him.
I'd have no hesitation about hanging out with Ruka.
-Torichan... -Really, Torichan? Are you sane?
-Please say something, Yu. -I feel like--
I want to have tamago kake rice with him...
-She won't listen to anyone! -...and crack eggs over the rice
-and eat it together. -She doesn't stop.
She ignores my advice.
Rui, please help her come to her senses.
-Ruka can do no wrong in her eyes. -I see.
What is it about him that draws you so strongly?
Well, his looks, how he's a bit simpleminded...
-Not just "a bit." -He's very dumb.
-You can't sum it up as "a bit." -His situation is dire.
I just have a visceral attraction.
Meanwhile, Kenny has started taking some initiative,
just as we were getting used to hearing the men being called lazy.
I actually...
went on a search
to find the best spot to watch the sunset from the ocean with you.
What's that about?
But a typhoon arrived on the day they were planning their date.
-The weather wouldn't cooperate. -So they couldn't go.
But then Risako gave her two cents.
I'd prefer to just hang out with you
rather than having you spend time trying to plan the perfect date for us.
Me, too.
You're the person I want to see when I get home.
-That was practically a confession! -Yeah, she went for it.
But the chat after that was the real shocker.
-Totally unexpected. -Right. That night,
Kenny invited Risako to the playroom and confessed his feelings to her.
I was curious about you before,
but now I know I like you.
I'm very attracted to you.
-Thank you. -Yeah...
The foreshadowing suggests that she might reject him.
She must still be feeling like he could be more proactive with her.
She wanted him to do more to get her attention.
She's been taking the lead, like proposing the impromptu watermelon tasting.
Now it seems like he's motivated to pursue her
because he knows for sure that he has an in.
It might be that her feelings have faded after seeing that reaction.
What's your deal? How are you so mature?
I've been studying under his tutelage.
-Does he have anything to offer? -His YouTube channel.
-YamaChannel? -You watch his feed?
The education you've received may be biased.
It's very fragmented.
The textbooks are from Incomplete Knowledge Press.
-I wouldn't recommend it. -Yeah...
She might ask for more time to think about it.
I think that's the most likely thing to happen
-in this scenario. -It'd be understandable.
It'd be arrogant for them to think
that their love story is worth any more screen time.
That's very harsh.
It feels stagnant and I think we need new people.
I'm not just curious about you anymore.
I see.
I'm very attracted to you.
-Thank you. -Yeah...
Actually,
I've also been thinking a lot about you and I... lately.
And... I'll just come out and say this.
So much stuff has crossed my mind over the past month.
It was hard to believe that at this age I would get into a fight with someone.
True.
Many things have happened to make me realize how immature I am.
I've been very confused.
Even while all of that was happening,
you helped me to see what my strengths were...
Or should I say,
you lifted my spirits by pointing those things out.
I'm grateful that you cared enough to express that stuff.
You are truly
someone that I am very drawn to.
Someone I'd like to cherish.
But for me, it's hard to commit to dating someone
-unless I've really... -Yeah?
...gotten to know them well.
So...
I don't have a definitive answer.
-Does that make sense? -Yeah, I get it.
That's how I feel.
KAORI WATANABE, 29 ILLUSTRATOR

RISAKO TANABE, 21 FITNESS TRAINER
RUKA NISHINOIRI, 20 PART-TIME RETAIL EMPLOYEE
TERRACE HOUSE TOKYO 2019-2020
OFF TO DO A PHOTOSHOOT FOR andGIRL
ALSO, I'M GOING TO OKINAWA WITH MY CREW FROM ROD MOTORS -HARUKA
You found a new part-time job?
-Well... -You're not sure yet?
-Yeah. -You're deliberating?
I'm heading over there.
I was thinking about my future while walking around Shimokitazawa.
As I was walking,
-I saw this billboard for the Avengers. -Okay.
It struck me, like, "What? The Avengers?"
So I went to check out what it was a sign for, and it was a bar.
A bar for Marvel comic fans?
Exactly. I'm going to check it out tomorrow.
-You're gonna visit them? -Yeah.
I think working at a bar could be fun.
That's fine, but...
if you're in this place of not having to worry about money right now,
it might be a better use of your time to find a job that is at least
adjacent to the work you might want to do.
How should I say this?
For example, I'm interested in illustration,
so I might find a job apprenticing for an established artist.
-Or something like that. -I see.
You probably won't make a lot of money,
but it could help you gain valuable experience for the future.
Working at a bar is fine, but...
it doesn't strike me as a strong choice.
-It could be a nice change... -It is just a bar,
but I'm more interested in interacting with fans of American comic books.
-I see. -A regular bar wouldn't interest me.
-That's true. -I just happened to
stumble upon that Avengers sign and became curious.
I get it.
-You should go for it, then. -Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
So, the other day,
we made plans to get a drink right over there, right?
We haven't had much time to chat, so I was happy that you asked me out.
I was looking forward to getting to know you better.
But to tell you the truth,
since we don't interact much while we're home,
I got worried that I wouldn't know what to talk to you about.
So if you don't mind, could we plan a one-on-one outing
after we've gotten to know each other a little better?
I see. Though silence doesn't bother me at all.
-I don't mind. -You'd be all right with that?
It'd be totally fine with me. But...
-am I that difficult to talk to? -Well, honestly...
when you're not sure what to say during a conversation,
you tend to go quiet.
-Me? -You won't say much.
I feel like that happens often.
-When that happens-- -You mean when you become quiet?
-I stop talking? -Yeah, you tend to close up.
It makes me feel awkward about the topic that I brought up,
-like maybe it wasn't appropriate. -Sometimes I reply in my head
-without verbalizing it. -I need you to say it out loud.
So you might be thinking that I close up based on that.
-I see. -That happens.
I tend to think too hard about what to say.
During any conversation.
By the time I've figured out what to say, the conversation has usually moved on.
That happens so often.
-That's rough. -It's fine with more than two people.
But when it's a one-on-one conversation,
it's totally silent while I'm taking time to think.
-You're referring to those moments, right? -Yeah.
Right.
-Let's hang out when I'm used to that. -Okay.
I would never want...
someone to be feeling uncomfortable without me ever knowing it.
-Then I'm glad I said something. -Yeah.
-Glad to hear it. -I wondered whether I should bring it up.
I would never want you to force yourself to hang out with me.
-Thanks for saying something. -Great. Good to hear.
YOYOGI, TOKYO
There's a summer festival happening!
-A festival-- -I bought some treats there.
-Have you eaten? -I'm super hungry.
-I'm starving. -Shall we?
Let's go.
-This is it. -It's huge!
-It's pretty big. -Supersize.
-Wow. -Welcome to my bus.
This is too fun.
So cool.
-It doesn't have a passenger seat. -Oh, really?
So could you sit over here instead?
You could live in this thing!
-With no problems. -It's definitely possible.
-You could see yourself living in here? -Yeah.
-It's so humid today, isn't it? -Yeah.
Supposedly, the typhoon has already passed.
Oh, really?
-It's not supposed to rain today. -Really?
-Yeah. -So we could swim?
We... could swim.
-We could? -I think so.
What are we gonna do there?
What do you think?
-Is it a secret? -No, not really.
Remember how I mentioned SUPing by the pool the other day?
The thing where you row?
Exactly.
That sounds amazing!
That's a great plan.
ZUSHI BEACH, KANAGAWA
CAUTION
Okay, okay...
What do you think?
We usually still do it in this weather, but...
maybe we shouldn't.
-It seems a bit dangerous. -Okay.
We can just enjoy the atmosphere.
Are you super bummed?
-Don't be bummed. -No, I'm all right.
-We can come back any time. -That's true.
Summer has just started.
CHOJAGASAKI, KANAGAWA
-We got rained out. I'm sorry. -It was fun, though.
Why are you sorry? I'm having fun.
Actually, there's something I've been meaning...
-to tell you. -How ominous.
I've always had an idea
of when I would leave Terrace House,
even before I got here.
Once July arrives, I'll mostly be on the road touring with my band.
Everywhere from Okinawa to Hokkaido.
Even if I kept living at Terrace House, I would barely ever be there...
-for a while. -I see.
Will you come to our next headliner show?
-On the third? -Yeah.
You're leaving the house on the third?
Not that day, but...
not long after that.
So, I'd like to know if I'm someone...
who fits into your current vision for your life.
I'd like to know how you feel about it.
I guess I've...
been under the impression that we had all the time in the world.
I thought I had more time
to figure out whether I can see you as a partner,
or whether I like you just as a friend.
I thought I had more time to figure out if my feelings for you were real.
But if I had to make a decision right now...
I don't feel like my attraction to you is that serious.
Got it.
Hey.
-Hey, welcome home. -Thanks.
There was no sign of you in the living room.
-Hmm? Yeah... -Why are you holed up in here?
-I'm home. -Welcome home.
Hey.
-Was it a hard day at work today? -Yeah.
-Did you get rained on? -Yeah.
We got rained out.
-Oh, no. -Yeah.
How'd it go?
So, I've already mentioned this to Risako...
I'm leaving Terrace House.
-Soon. -What? When?
The week of our headliner show,
or soon after that whenever I find a feasible time.
-Why are you leaving so soon? -For real?
Why?
Even before I came to Terrace House,
it seemed like this might be the right timing.
With Risako...
when I told her my feelings the other day,
she asked for more time for us to get to know each other.
I knew it was futile to ask someone for an answer
when they'd already expressed that they needed more time.
But I knew I had to tell her that I'm planning on leaving soon.
So I told her today.
And I was dumped.
You just said so many things. My brain is scrambled.
I think it means that I didn't have the level of attraction
to keep her interested.
So that's what happened today.
It's a tough way to go.
Thank you for everything.
I don't like it.
No way...
It's going to be really hard for me to accept
that you're leaving.
You've always been very supportive of me...
with work.
You'd take time to ask me about work after I got home every day.
I've relied on you.
You're even there
when I wake up,
and you wish me well
before I leave for work.
You're there to listen to my concerns about work when I get home.
You've been a great source of comfort for me.
I've had the best time in the world here.
I'm really happy to have spent this time
with the two of you.
-It didn't work out. -Nope.
-How unsatisfying. -Too bad.
-What was that about? -Well, at one point,
Risako was ready to pull the plug because he was so unassertive.
-She did express that. -And then
Kenny comes out to say that he's leaving all of a sudden.
Things are all over the place and the timing is bad.
Timing can be that detrimental?
They failed to connect passes. To use a basketball metaphor.
On this show, whenever we've seen men take initiative
after being told that they were too passive,
it's never worked out very well.
That's very true. Their efforts are always too late.
You hear that, gentlemen of the world?
Too little, too late.
But all of that "I really like you. You're important to me" stuff...
Where was that coming from, then? Why did she need more time?
-Risako has been rather unclear, too. -I'm so confused.
She's not in love,
and yet she portrays affection as if she's head-over-heels.
She's overly demonstrative.
They're very quick to throw around phrases like "I like them"
or "We planned a date."
But each of them have their own ideas of what those things actually mean.
It's rare for things to unfold like they did for you,
where soon you're sharing the keys to your apartment.
Then shortly after, you're officially dating,
and in no time, you're married. That's not normal.
-No way! -No, for real.
-It's a miracle. -That's not standard?
-Not in any shape or form. -Your case represents a situation
in which everything lined up perfectly--
-Then I must be extremely lucky! -You are.
I'm so grateful to my wife.
Risako must have said those things to go along with the mood of the moment.
But then after seeing how he reacted, she started to rethink things.
-Interesting. -Sometimes you just don't know
how things will go until you put yourself out there.
-One must strike while the iron is hot. -Exactly.
Make love to a women while she's caught in the passion.
-Lovely. -Such wise words.
-That's so true, Tokui. -Rui, have you ever experienced
love that wasn't reciprocated?
-Yes, of course. -Really?
Please don't tell me you tried and failed at courting Natalie Portman or something.
Generation-wise, I don't think she's his type.
-Was I off target? -With Natalie? I think so.
What type of women do you go for?
-Style-wise-- -Well, like I said earlier,
I prefer taller women.
Also, I do like mature women. I tend to date older people.
See? Who? Like Sharon Stone?
-Basic Instinct? -Exactly.
-I've never dated anyone younger. -You've only dated older people?
-Really? -My Dearest Shizu...
-Shizu, you're two points closer to a win. -So true!
She is older and very tall.
Just one more to win the jackpot.
That third slot button might be too hard to push.
She can fall into a blank spot.
Some things are not so easy.
It seems Ruka has struck out on any chance with Kaori.
-That was-- -I don't think he has a chance.
It's looking grim for him.
Going for an older woman is tough...
That story about him finding work at an Avengers-themed bar...
I guess he's drawn to it simply because he could embrace
and share his love for Marvel comics there.
That's not it, Tokui. What are you saying?
He's trying to become Spider-Man, so obviously the quickest way to get there
-is to work at an Avengers-themed bar. -The quickest way, huh?
-If that's true, then ouch. -The quickest route?
From Ruka's perspective, that has to be the logic.
I'm horrified that that might actually be the truth.
How scary.
Kaori sensed that. That's why she's backing out.
That's what we witnessed.
Her reaction was absolutely horrified.
-She looked pale. -After hearing his logic, like...
"Yeah, sounds like a great idea..."
Torichan, you can't defend his logic this time.
I can see it being a shortcut.
Stop lying! What a blatant lie.
-I'm impressed he found that loophole. -Impressed how?
Torichan is the best possible partner for Ruka in the world.
-You're right. -Truer words have never been spoken.
It's a better idea than working at some random takoyaki stand.
-Yeah, but-- -I see.
You're saying it's good that he hasn't given up on the dream?
I'd feel better if he'd given up and pursued making takoyaki.
That's more realistic.
Good morning.
Morning.
I can't even with my face this morning.
I'm hoping these spoons will help.
Look how puffy your face is.
Pretty bad, isn't it?
GONE SURFING. -KENNY
-Kenny's gone surfing? How does he do it? -I know.
-Is Ruka home? -Yeah.
He's sleeping.
He's always sleeping.
Have you spoken to Kenny?
Kenny?
About our time on the beach?
Yeah, he told us.
That's why your eyes are so puffy?
Yeah...
At 32, he probably wants to be married...
-Well, he said he does want to be. -Yeah.
I've had vague dreams about wanting to be married.
But...
In reality, I'm only 21 and not even close to being ready to be married.
I've thought about so many things.
But the fact that I have to think about it so hard
makes me think it's not meant to be.
Now is not the right time to be with him.
I don't like him that much... is what I told him in a nutshell.
That's what I told him, but...
I really did like him.
I'm still very fond of him.
You like him, but you won't date him?
-Is it weird? -Is what weird?
My logic.
I can't define that for you.
I can't give you the answer to that.
But I think it's extremely rare to like someone
and have them feel the same way about you.
-That doesn't happen easily. -Yeah.
If I'm being honest, I don't know the answer.
I have no idea what to say other than that I like him.
But I don't know where to go from there.
You should just tell him that.
Why?
I already gave him an answer.
What's that have to do with it?
It's not like there are rules.
I wish it were appropriate
to not need to take anything else into consideration
and simply express what I'm feeling right now.
Because I really don't know what to do.
All I know is that I have feelings for him.
I think you should try...
to talk through it if it's troubling you.
I don't know what to do anymore.
DAIKANYAMA, TOKYO
Hey!
YUSUKE AIZAWA, 20 UKULELE ARTIST
-Hi! -Welcome back. You have so much stuff.
-Long time, no see. -Likewise.
Should I grab something? I can carry your ukulele.
-No worries, I got it. -Really?
I'm totally fine.
-Are you cool with this restaurant? -I've never been.
-Everything they serve is organic. -Wow, how fancy.
It's been a while, so I'm a little nervous.
CHERRY
How have things been for you lately?
-These days? -How's Terrace House?
-Kaori, the one with short hair... -Yeah.
...pointed out to me that
it would feel better if I tried to initiate communication with everyone.
So I've been trying to do more of that lately.
So that's been happening.
I've always felt comfortable opening up to you, though.
Really? That's cool.
-I really like it. -Really?
I mean, I like your atmosphere.
-My atmosphere? -What I mean is
I like the energy you have about you.
That's something that really caught my attention.
I see.
Thank you.
My apologies if you've already mentioned this,
but I don't remember if I ever asked you what type of person...
you're into.
I like someone who...
How should I say this?
Someone who I feel comfortable with. From the get-go, just...
Ah, this is so hard to answer.
Like, a cute person.
Cute, or should I say...
You mean in terms of appearance?
Yeah, I want someone who's cuddly like an animal.
-Someone who's animal-like? -Yeah, I think so.
I remember you once told me that I resembled a sea lion.
Yeah, I can see that. I like that about you.
I've always thought you were very cute.
I've never been told that before.
No way! Your mannerisms are animal-like.
I understand sea lion. But animal-like?
I'm fond of sea creatures, like seals.
I like your vibe, because it's very sea creature-y.
-Should I take that as a compliment? -Yes, do.
-I look like a sea creature? -Yes.
-That's my impression of you. -Really?
Do you have a type?
Well, recently,
I've discovered that it's really important to me
to be around someone that I can be myself with.
-I agree. -Yeah.
Lately, I'm not really moved by passion.
I'm looking for the marrying type...
or a person who I know I can be at peace with
when we spend time together.
I value that over a passionate connection.
I want a relationship where we can nap together
and just be comfortable.
Lately, that's become my ideal.
Napping partners?
Someone I can feel super comfy just napping with.
I've discovered that that's what I want.
So, earlier...
I didn't get to tell you about this.
Around August fifth... or third, I'm heading to Kagoshima,
but I'll be in Tokyo until around then.
-Let's hang. -If... you're free.
Yeah, let's hang out.
-I'd like that. -Yeah.
-Thanks for the meal. -Thank you.
-No, wait. Hold on. -No, it's okay.
-No, please wait. -We can split it, no worries.
-It's okay, we can split it. -No...
-That won't do. -Why not?
Okay. Well, next time it'll be on me.
No, I would never...
expect you to pay for anything. It's on me.
Thank you.
How very manly of you.
Not at all. Thanks for joining me.
Thank you.
Thank you for the meal.
-What are you up to? -Studying again. It's going nowhere.
That's your second book?
No, still the first one. I'm struggling.
ORGANIC AROUND THE WORLD
I visited an organic restaurant.
-Yesterday, with Kai. -How was it?
-I had a lot of fun. -You did?
You just went out for dinner?
-Yeah, that's all we did. -I see.
-He'd just landed yesterday. -In Japan?
-Yeah, so he was jet lagged. -I see.
It's nice that he wanted to see you soon after landing.
-That made me happy. -So cute.
He paid for dinner.
-Did he? -And he was very chivalrous about it.
-It was a smooth move. -Really?
I had fun.
He must've been really excited to treat you.
-But I'd like to treat him, too. -Yeah, that'd be nice.
-Kai is also 20 years old, isn't he? -Yeah.
Ruka is 21?
-No, he's 20 as well. -Twenty?
So they're the same age.
But they're in different stages of life.
-Completely different stages. -How is that?
Ruka still relies on other people to some extent.
But with Kai, it seems like he knows
what path he wants to be on and is pursuing it.
I don't know.
Ruka is searching for his passion right now, right?
Let's say that Kai was in the same boat as him.
The way he'd approach that challenge would be vastly different from Ruka.
I can see that.
Ruka expresses a desire for growth pretty often,
but he doesn't move into action unless someone pushes him.
He doesn't tend to take initiative.
Can you see romantic potential with Kai?
I'm not sure.
I could imagine you being married to him, but...
it's hard to imagine you two on a date.
You're already imagining marriage? I barely know him.
You can imagine us married?
I can. I would be happy with him as a long-term partner.
He does make me think that, too. He's very calming.
He's calming,
and I get this warm, fuzzy feeling when I'm around him.
I don't feel passionate towards him.
But I feel relaxed around him because of his peaceful nature.
I've experienced people like that before, too, whether it's a friend
-or a partner. -Yeah.
That's how it feels. So I really can't say yet
whether there'll be any romantic development for us in the future.
But I do want to get to know him better and I'm fond of him.

I'm impressed they pulled in a crowd this big.
It's hard not to see someone in a different light when they're at work.
-Something shifts. -Yeah.
It's not the same Kenny that lounges around at home.
-He's not even on stage yet. -Can't wait for the show!
So cool!
He's super cool.
Right now, the two of us
Sex on fire
Till the sun comes up
Baby, dance with me
Right now, the two of us Sex on fire
Let me take you
Dance slowly, so dreamy
I'd like to introduce this next song.
All of the songs on the new album were created while I was living
in my new home.
There was something that wasn't apparent to me while I was writing this song,
but once it was finished...
it was clear to me
who this song was about.
This person stays up all night
and doesn't ever temper her efforts, always giving 120% percent.
I'd like to dedicate this next song to that person
as my way of showing my support. Is that all right?
-You look so cool right now, Kenny! -Super cool.
How cool.
"After Tonight."
Those nights that you can't sleep I can see you're feeling
Alone tonight, alone tonight
Alone tonight
In exchange for those dark nights Without shining stars
I'll be your light, I'll be your light
It does something when you look at me
Every moment I want to keep you
In my arms
When you laugh or you cry
I promise you
No matter what, wherever you are
Whatever time of day
I'll run to you, let me be by your side
I'll be there for you
Tonight and forever
So freaking cool.
My true feelings
Are difficult to put into words
And I'm not sure what to do
How can I mirror
Everything you pour into me
If there's nothing more I could do
From this moment, I won't let you go
When you laugh or you cry
I promise you
No matter what, wherever you are
Whatever time of day
I'll run to you, let me be by your side
I'll be there for you
Tonight and forever

-I'm so tired, I'm so tired... -Great job!
-Thank you. -That took a lot out of me.
Thank you so much, everyone, for coming to see the show tonight.
-Great job tonight! -Great show.
-Great job. You looked so cool. -Agreed.
The atmosphere is different when you're headlining,
because there are dedicated fans. It was great.
I felt at home.
So cool.
I guess this is a good time
to tell you guys something I've been meaning to say.
I'm planning to leave Terrace House.
Why?
My touring schedule is about to become really hectic.
Moving into July and August.
So I probably won't be at the house at all.
I felt good with the turnout at today's show.
I'm glad everyone was able to make it,
and I'm happy that Risako could come for the first time.
So...
it feels like a good time to leave.
I didn't mean for it to get gloomy.
-Of course we're a bit sad. -It'll be lonely.
No, no, no.
How have you changed since being at Terrace House?
Is there anything?
I think I've gotten better at expressing my feelings to my crush.
I see.
I think more about what would make them happy.
I've been pretty selfish in the past.
I was stubborn about keeping my own pace.
I mainly chose partners who were okay with doing what I wanted.
But I think more about
-what the other person might want now. -That's nice.
Look over there...
Would you like to switch seats?
The tripe looks ready.
-Were you able to express your feelings? -Yeah.
I really did like you.
I like you. I was into you.
What am I saying?
It's past tense?
I don't know.
I wish you weren't leaving the house.
If it were my place to tell you to stay, I would.
I don't want to you to go.
I don't mean to trouble you.
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
Can we talk later?
Damn it! When will we finally get a new member?
-That was great, though. -It was.
-It was great! -What a great scene.
Wonderful.
They both want more time together.
-Yeah. -They seem like they're on the same page.
Kenny has no room to make any errors from this point on.
-I see. -You're right.
One little mistake
could make her think, "That's it, I'm done."
His last chance will happen in the next scene,
since they're going to have "The Talk."
I think...
there could be a kiss happening either way.
He'll probably call it a "goodbye kiss," with no intention of seeing her again.
Wouldn't you like to see that catastrophe?
-I don't get why it can't work. -It's a mystery.
The reason she feels like she can't tell him not to go
is that she senses that she wouldn't have enough to give
if he were to stay at her request.
But she wants to tell him to stay.
That's why she says, "It's not my place to tell you, but...
I'd tell you to stay if I could."
But that's exactly what she ended up saying.
It's complicated.
What does she want from all of this?
It seems to me like she's having the time of her life playing the heroine.
Let's say that, when they have their discussion,
Kenny says he doesn't mind if she needs more time,
that he's prepared to wait for her while she figures things out.
Then it would make it easy for her to date him.
-This challenge is near and dear to Tokui. -I see.
This has happened often in your past...
It has.
Have you learned how to assert yourself?
I'm alone at 44 because I never could learn.
It's okay.
You were describing what you wished would happen.
So you really need Kenny to make the right moves
in order for you to move on as well.
I hope he does better than I did on the balcony that night...
What happened to you?
There's a lot riding on your words when you talk about him.
It's the same thing in basketball. Some people can shoot baskets,
-while others never can. -That's true.
I have a feeling he won't be able to dunk.
Really?
His lack of finesse has been holding him back for 32 years.
The most boring outcome would be
if they just ended up talking about their time together,
all the memories they made,
-and other trivial stuff like that. -I get that.
I hope they don't avoid the topic of dating
and try to put a pretty bow on the end of this story.
-I will be livid if that happens. -I totally agree.
You've never agreed with me so wholeheartedly.
Like, never before.
Are you okay being on my team?
Let's not forget that date that Haruka went on.
That was unkind.
-That was our bad. -Who took all those shots of cherries?
That was a bad joke about virgins.
But also, Haruka is toying with his feelings.
-She is! -She can't be serious...
She's definitely just having fun.
It makes me sick that she introduced him as the type of guy she'd like to marry.
That's the worst.
That means that there's no way she'll fall for him.
He's the ideal type to marry,
but she wants to have fun on the way there.
-But Yusuke is serious about her. -Absolutely.
-He's an open book. -Yeah.
-He's definitely in love. -How sad.
His expression was the same as a capybara being fed.
-Derpy. -If she doesn't date him,
I will chase her to hell and make her pay in tears.
-I trust you with that responsibility. -Straight to hell.
Can I please accompany you?
Thank you.
I'm really glad you were able to see our show.
-You looked great on stage. -Really?
Lucky me.
Lucky you.
I'm the worst.
This whole time,
I've been trying to come up with a definite answer.
That's why I said what I did on the bus.
But even though I mustered the courage to say it, I regret every word.
Then I got really confused, and was blabbering on earlier tonight.
Even I'm tired of myself.
I can't fake anything that I express on stage.
My feelings are as true as you heard.
So, this may be asking a lot...
but I'd like you to rethink your answer
by the time I leave the house.
I'll give it careful thought.
That's all I wanted to say.
Thanks for saying that.
I might wake everyone up to drink more.
Okay.
You're sleeping in the playroom?
-I think so. Want another drink? -Yeah.
-Are you headed to the playroom? -Yep.
See you then.
