-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.
This week, actor Eiichiro Funakoshi will be joining us once again.
-Great to have you. -Pleasure to be here.
Ryo was in a predicament last we saw him.
-Yes, he was. -It just... It frustrates me.
Torichan, let's be professional and offer people more context.
Please explain what's frustrating, if you don't mind.
-We have to explain. -I don't want to deal with it anymore.
That's understandable.
-But we don't have the whole picture yet. -Right.
Ryo may not have feelings for Vivi at all. But this week...
we may be lucky enough to see all three women tear him to shreds.
So could you please get us caught up?
All right, first off... Ryo and Hana had a chat
in which she asked Ryo about his feelings.
You mean you don't have special feelings towards me, Vivi, or Emika either?
To give a broad answer, yes.
-What do you mean by a "broad answer"? -Well...
I see all three of you as friends.
To put it plainly,
-he has no romantic interest in anyone. -Who says a "broad answer"?
That's what he said to Hana.
However, following that conversation, he had a chat with Vivi.
I've made my intentions very clear.
-You've... -I have.
-It's-- -Don't tell me that you can't tell.
Have you ever outright told me how you feel?
I want to keep things simple.
If you only want me as a friend, then tell me.
You want an answer right now?
He keeps evading the issue.
He wants to get closer, but he doesn't want to do long distance.
What are you, telling a riddle?
After that, he started telling her that she was being unfair,
-that she should've spoken up sooner. -As if she did anything wrong.
I could find a really good job in Japan and end up staying.
-It's too late to consider that. -It's too late?
I wasn't aware of that possibility.
-There are always options... -That's unfair.
-But there are options... -So unfair.
-"It's too late. You're being unfair"? -What nonsense.
Send him to my greenroom, I'll talk some sense into him.
Let's take a deep breath.
I think he came for self-promotion.
-That's hard to deny... -I think so.
The first day he arrived here, he commented on the state of the dishes.
It was you and me who deep-cleaned the sink and the fridge after that.
That's what I'm saying.
-Emika is manipulating people. -For sure.
She's the one who started the Ryo rant session.
-Now that you mention it... -She did, didn't she?
She's doing great work in her last moments on the show.
-Yeah. Brilliant work, Emika. -She's been busy.
She outright said that Ryo is here for self-promotion, as if she isn't.
CHALEUR OMOTESANDO, TOKYO
Okay, raise your glass in your right hand.
-My right hand? -Yeah, got it?
Now with your left hand, cover an eye.
-Why? What is this for? -Got it?
-Let's drink. Eye patch! -Eye patch!
Eye patch!
-It's way more fun to eat outside. -Totally.
I'm twice as excited about eating.
-I wish Tupas could come. I miss him. -Yeah.
Too bad.
Do you have any matches this week?
I do. On the 23rd and 24th.
-Where at? -The ring in Shin-Kiba.
-Right on. -You're in Shin-Kiba both days?
-The wrestling holy ground. -I can make it on the 24th.
-Awesome. -What day of the week is that?
-I'm not sure. -I want to come, too.
-If you're free, please do. -Let's go.
-Let's do it. -Are you going, Ryo?
I'll make it if I can.
I'll come to your game if I can, too.
-Is it time for the fish yet? -Yeah, let's start the saikyoyaki.
-Oof, hot. -Is that a scallop?
-You're right, it is a scallop. -Bon appétit.
Eating dinner together is so great, isn't it?
-Agreed. It's refreshing. -This is the best memory of my vacation.
Everyone, get in the photo. Come on, Kai.
-Everything was delicious. -I'm full.
-I'm so full. -I'm stuffed.
I'm leaving Terrace House.
-Ugh. -No way.
I thought so.
I knew you planned this dinner for that reason.
Are you for real?
Why? Why are you leaving? Why?
To be honest, my head coach has been asking me
to leave the show.
I have this break from practice this week,
but I'll be crazy busy again next week.
So I figured it's time to move out.
-For real? -Yeah.
I moved here hoping to grow and find inspiration.
I've learned tons.
A side effect of being in the house
is that people are paying more attention to my actions.
So I feel an even deeper responsibility to work hard.
That was the greatest thing I gained from living at the house.
I want to say to everyone here,
and to all the housemates from before, and Tupas as well,
thank you so much.
I'm finally at a point where
I feel totally comfortable in the house,
and you're one of the people I like talking to.
It took me some time to build trusting friendships.
I'm sad to see you go.
Not much time has passed since you two arrived.
But I hope you make lots of fun memories during your time here.
We might catch colds out here.
Let's go. It's getting cold.
My nose is running.
-My nose was running earlier, too. -I'm going to the restroom.
Snot is inevitable in this situation.
Should you go talk to her?
No.
I believe she went to the bathroom.
RYO TAWATARI, 26 PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER
HANA KIMURA, 22 PRO WRESTLER
KAI KOBAYASHI, 25 ASPIRING COMEDIAN
EMIKA MIZUKOSHI, 21 J. F. OBERLIN UNIVERSITY SENIOR
TUPAS JOHNKIMVERLU, 22 PERSONAL ASSISTANT
VIOLETTA RAZDUMINA, 24 MODEL
I wanted to have a drink with Tupas.
Hey, Ryo...
-can we chat over here? -Sure.
Sounds good.
-Let's go. -Thank you.
It's so cold.
-Thank you. -Of course.
Thanks for walking over here.
-What's up? -Well...
When I met you for the first time,
after you got back from your camp...
I met you...
and...
I fell in love.
Because of that, I know that...
I've done and said some weird things.
You were my crush for two and a half months.
Did you notice?
Well, yeah, of course I knew...
I wasn't sure when would be a good time to tell you
how I was feeling.
Remember when you were trying to invite me out for dinner,
and we visited three rooms before you did it?
-I'm really sorry about that. -Or...
that time you invited me out after winning your match?
Even after that...
if I'm totally honest...
I didn't see you as a potential romantic partner.
But I was really touched
that you put so much thought in trying to connect with me.
What I mean is...
that was really courageous of you, and I'm thankful for you.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
I know that I've grown a lot.
I won't waste time visiting so many rooms before asking someone out.
-When you... -With my next crush,
I feel like I could be more straightforward.
Thank you for providing me with an opportunity for growth.
I'd like to say one more thing,
and I hope it doesn't come off as patronizing,
but my lack of romantic interest
has nothing to do with you being a pro wrestler.
I know you said your previous boyfriend didn't accept that about you,
and I wanted you to hear this.
I think you're beautiful.
Truthfully, I do.
You're beautiful and you have a sunny energy
that I always looked forward to coming home to.
I know you'll meet people who will love those things about you.
I hope that you'll take pride in who you are
and that you meet the love of your life.
-Thank you. -I realize that
hearing these things from me must be annoying,
but that's my truth, and I've always wanted you to know it.
-I'm glad that you were my crush. -Really?
I hope it's not weird if I ask you to get dinner or to hang again,
and I hope we can continue to be friends.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-Sounds good. -Yeah.
I HAVE WORK IN SHINJUKU. HAVE FUN AT THE BBQ! -TUPAS
-The barbecue was super fun. -It was great.
-Eating outdoors is fun. -It's a different experience.
It was fun until a certain point.
-True. -I hear you.
Is there anything you want to do before you leave?
Hmm... Let me think...
This makes me nervous.
I was going to say something...
I forget.
Can we talk?
-Here? -No.
Upstairs? Let's go to the playroom.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Ugh... this sucks.
You said you'd planned to talk to me before leaving.
-Yeah. -When was that going to happen?
When were you going to get to it?
-You're being unfair. -After I announced that I'd be leaving.
I can't let go of the fact that
you want to eventually move to America.
So...
it's hard for me to imagine having a relationship with you.
So you decided not to try?
Yeah...
Remember I said I may not move?
I only learned that a few days ago.
-But that-- -I'd already been planning to move out.
Yep, I guess you've got a point.
Oh, well.
Oh, well...
I may never meet someone as beautiful and awesome as you,
and I may regret it.
But this is how I truly feel right now.
So, this is goodbye.
Yes, but...
I had lots of fun. I know...
you might hate me for saying that.
But I enjoyed my time here with you.
Honestly, I didn't come to this house
with the intention of finding romance to begin with.
In the end, Ryo still had to act
as the captain of the Yokohama B-Corsairs while he was here.
-That's my conclusion. -I agree.
From your point of view, Hana,
you thought that he was into Vivi, and that would've been fine.
He didn't need to say that he didn't have feelings for anyone.
I wish he would've been completely honest with me.
Does it make that much of a difference?
He may have expressed his feelings in two different ways,
but I don't feel that he was really being dishonest either way.
He said how he really felt.
The conclusion we came to the other day
is that Ryo would make the minimum effort and do only what he had to do.
And that when it came to contributing for the sake of others,
say doing dishes or taking out the trash, for example,
or general tidying up...
-We noticed that he doesn't do that. -That came up.
He pointed out that the amount of dirty dishes was an issue,
and I'm grateful that someone brought it up.
But he doesn't contribute regularly when it comes to chores.
By saying those things, it made it seem like he really cared,
whereas I was the lazy one and didn't contribute at all.
I thought that was unfair.
But that's just how he is.
I guess I should make peace with that.
Can I suggest something?
Wait, what are you doing?
-You thought I was gonna hit you? -Yes, I was expecting a punch.
-I was preparing myself for it. -Silly...
If you asked me an hour ago, I did want to punch you.
But I'm feeling much calmer now.
-I'd be done if you punched me. -The bath soothed me.
My hands are a little shaky, but I'm calmer.
So, this is the very first song
that we listened to together.
I want to hear it with you one last time.
Your palms are super sweaty.
Yeah, I know.
Yours are sweaty, too.
I'm sweating profusely.
Do your legs hurt?
My legs are fine.
I hope you achieve your dreams.
My dreams? Yes, I'll work hard.
I hope you reach yours, too.
-You're not going to chase them? -Huh?
I will, but right now I just want to cry.
But I don't want to cry.
I don't want to cry in front of you.
-Please don't cry. -I won't.
Well...
Is it bedtime?
I think that might be best.
I want to sleep here.
-You're going to sleep here? -Yes.
I'm sleeping right here.
Just like this.
Cool, good night.
This sucks.
I don't know...
I honestly thought you would be my reason for staying in Japan.
I didn't want that to happen.
I can't do this...
If I fall in love with someone, I can't just say...
-I can't do that so easily. -Weren't you going to sleep?
-Do you hear me? -Aren't you sleepy?
Ugh, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.
She's so sincere and frank with her emotions.
-It's impressive. -She was really into him.
And yet he says he was never interested in finding love.
-Who could've known? -He could've said that sooner.
He should've made that clear from the beginning.
His thing was that he didn't want to hurt people's feelings,
but ultimately his inaction was the most hurtful.
He dumped her in the most hurtful way, at the most inopportune moment.
-Is this it for the two of them? -Nothing will come of it.
He didn't come here for love.
He said himself that he was there to popularize basketball.
He came to play the role of the heartthrob and have women fawn over him
so that he could pull in more fans to his basketball games.
He came, he conquered, his mission is complete.
But the way they're behaving, I feel like they might start dating.
-You mean start dating off-camera? -Yeah.
-Well, if they do, I don't care. -I doubt that.
Vivi hasn't been able to get over her feelings for him at all.
-She hasn't had time to. -She tried convincing herself to hate him.
There hasn't been a clear severing of their connection.
That's why her feelings are pouring out in this way now.
The worst detail of this whole situation is that Ryo stalled their conversation,
asked for more time to figure out his feelings,
and let her believe that they might have a chance.
But then, without saying anything at all, he announced that he was leaving.
-You're right. -The way he handled that was heartless.
Could it be that Ryo actually has feelings for Vivi,
and that's why it was hard for him to bring up?
-No, I don't think so. -Nope.
-I don't think that's the case. -No?
-Not a chance. -If there was...
If there had been absolutely no chemistry between them, would she be so forward?
No, Vivi worked up her courage and went all in.
She's simply in love with a guy who will never give her a straight answer.
-Really? -That's shocking.
-If that's true, then Ryo is despicable. -He's the worst.
He obviously doesn't care about her.
-You think so? -He doesn't love her at all.
If he genuinely had feelings for her,
he wouldn't care about how he was being portrayed.
-It wouldn't matter what his fans thought. -I mean...
If basketball is that important, he could've told her that
and focused his energy there.
He always had some excuse for things, like how his coach disapproved,
or how he came here to promote basketball
and wasn't interested in love to begin with.
He's not going to date for the reason that Emika has helped us realize...
"Helped us realize"?
Ryo Tawatari was here solely for self-promotion.
To truly commit to self-promotion, he had to commit to not dating.
I guess so.
-If he were to date, he would lose fans. -Good point.
His goal was to keep the fans interested, popularize his name,
and exit safely.
-Emika has provided this wise insight. -He had to stay true to his mission...
Right. Emika really has great awareness of the situation.
-He wants to focus on basketball... -It's fine that he does.
-...but he also loves Vivi? -I hope he excels.
Wanting to popularize basketball is fine, too.
-But the way he did it wasn't cool. -I agree.
He behaved irresponsibly.
He was never proactive in setting things straight.
He never initiated important conversations on his own. I doubt he's in love.
If someone only asks questions, it must mean that they don't really care.
-You got it. -Exactly.
-It's an easy way out. -To answer a question with a question.
It's a defense mechanism.
I'm intrigued by Emika's sudden candidness.
Her dramatic display of tears is all the more confusing.
-It's truly perplexing. -Isn't it? For real.
She cried, but then started ranting about him as soon as they got home.
-It's mind-blowing. -Yeah, so confusing.
Her moods go from calm to tsunami in seconds.
"GO TO WORK" -VIVI P.S. I'M SAD.
-Hey... -How do you have so few things?
-You barely have anything. -You travel very light, don't you?
Have you seen this? Kai painted it.
-That's nice. -I heard that you gave him that.
How lovely.
-Are you all packed? -I'm good to go.
I guess I'll get going.
For real? This is really it?
It's time. I have to get to practice.
Just like I do every day. I guess I'll leave a message.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! -RYO
-All right. Be good, everyone. -No...
-I won't say goodbye. See you again. -See you soon.
Happy to have met you. Good luck with everything. Thanks.
-Thank you. -Thank you, too, for real.
-Thanks. You're the best. -You're the best. See you soon.
-I'll see you soon. -Okay.
Thanks, everyone.
All right, I'll see you soon.
-See you. -Thanks for everything.
-Let's hang soon. -For sure.
-See you again. -Deal.
Did you just slam my painting into the wall?
Your painting...
Hey, don't be rough with my art!
Thanks, I'll take good care of it.
See you. Thanks a bunch.
Have a good day.
This is sad.
He was a great guy.
SHIN-KIBA 1ST RING SHIN-KIBA, TOKYO
We will now begin the TCS versus Oedo Tai,
six-person, 20-minute single-round match.
In the red corner, Tokyo Cyber Squad.
At 155 centimeters and weighing 47 kilograms,
she's in the seventh grade and gets an A+ for courage.
Welcome to the ring, Rina!
Whoa!
-Already started. -Wait, what is she doing?
Please watch out.
Please stand clear of the ring.
Crazy!
For your safety, please stand clear of the ring.
Yay!
Wow, that's crazy.
Insanity!
-No! -Oh, no!
TSUKISHIMA, TOKYO
MONJA MUGI, KIYOSUMI-DORI BRANCH
How's it going?
-Hey. -Thanks for waiting.
-There you are. -How's it going?
-I'm worn out. Yeah. -You're tired?
That was insane.
-Was everything okay? -What do you mean?
-You weren't hurt, were you? -No, there was no action near us.
-Was it scary? Have I scared you off? -I had so much fun.
-No, you were so badass. -Really?
I loved your entrance and that face you made.
You were too cool. It was awesome.
-This smells great. -Is it ready?
-Yeah, just scoop it. -Bon appétit.
Looks good.
Yummy.
-The seafood one is great. -Where's the seafood?
I don't see any.
-Is that shrimp? -There's shrimp and squid, too.
When we were talking the other day,
you mentioned that you prefer a person who's honest with their feelings.
-I've really come to relate to that. -Really?
-You make a good point. -Ryo made you realize that?
Ryo made you see that?
I guess you could say that.
I mean, it was clear that he was trying to be thoughtful.
But he's so complicated.
I want it to be easy to know where I stand with the person that I like.
-Yeah. -So...
I'm finding that you're really easy to talk to.
-You think so? -I do.
I've told you many things. Thank you for letting me rant about everything.
-We talked about a lot. -In the end, I was dumped,
-but I was able to express my feelings. -That's good to hear.
Onto the next thing, then.
I can't wait to go trampolining.
Yeah, me, too. I'm super excited about it.
-Have we decided when we're going yet? -Well...
The second or third. The beginning of the month works for me.
-The third works better for me. -Yeah?
-The third it is. -The third, got it.
Here we come, Trampoland.
I felt like she kept interrupting me to say,
"I don't want you to get the wrong idea about us."
I was like, "Didn't I already say I get it?"
But I didn't push further, because I feel like...
I don't think she's able to empathize with other people.
It could still be my misunderstanding.
-I waited so long. -I left early.
I'm ten minutes early. Sorry to have kept you "waiting."
I'm so hungry.
-Was that in Ginza? -Yeah.
You actually went?
He said he'd take me anywhere for dinner as a reward for the T-shirt.
So I said "sushi in Ginza" jokingly, but we actually went.
He really took my suggestion.
You're over the moon right now. Wow.
Wow, so cringy.
-You okay? -Oh, dear...
That was undeniably cringy.
Cringy on another level.
-That was an attack on Hana. -Was it?
Emika must've been feeling defeated from the previous confrontation.
After their dinner, she must've felt like she was getting a good punch in.
She felt elated because of that, not because of her time with Ryo.
Shouldn't you go check on her?
I'm not sure what to say.
It's TV and I know it's out of my control.
I can't remember the last time I felt this low.
Up until this point...
I'd been able to manage by talking to others.
I could laugh and tough it out.
Living in this house is excruciating.
I never should've chosen to be here.
There's more to Emika than meets the eye.
Earlier, you'd said
that you didn't think she was capable of empathy.
-You said that, right? It's the opposite. -Yeah.
She overthinks things. She often feels socially awkward.
It may not come across that way,
but she's far more thoughtful than most people I know.
She's just not good at communicating.
Well, I understand that about her
considering that I've lived with her for longer than you have.
I stand by my previous statement, even with that knowledge.
If you feel strongly enough to stand up for her, then...
go talk to her.
Sorry to call you out of the blue.
No worries.
-Here, have a clean one. -Thank you.
Do you feel like talking?
There's no doubt that anyone who saw that episode
would hate me instantly.
I wasn't aware that that was how I was coming off.
I know it's my fault for saying those things, but...
Seeing that episode...
doesn't change my opinion of you.
Isn't it enough that we...
The people who are closest to you understand who you really are, right?
I wish I could believe that and let go of these feelings.
I'm so weak.
You are fragile.
But I like that about you.
I wasn't meant to be on this show.
I don't think I have the fortitude for it.
That makes you human and I like that about you.
If you weren't here...
I would be having a much harder time.
-Thanks for being here. -Don't mention it.
It made me feel better to hear
that you don't think any differently of me after seeing that episode.
I thought you would hate me.
My feelings are not so shallow...
that seeing that would make me dislike you.
Oh, no, it's already 3:30 a.m.
We should go to bed.
Thank you so much.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm feeling better.
Should we hug?
Why?
-They help reduce stress. -Hugs do?
Why...
She wasn't aware of how abhorrently her comments were coming off...
-She realized it when-- -...until she heard us talking about her.
She has the wrong idea in thinking she doesn't belong at Terrace House.
-That's so true. -I agree.
It's one of the best opportunities to truly discover who you are.
-It's a rare opportunity. -You get to see yourself from all angles.
I think it's great that she gets to have this awakening.
But let's not forget that mere moments earlier,
she was proclaiming to the entire Terrace House audience
that Ryo just complained about dishes but didn't actually do any chores,
and that he was only there for self-promotion.
She never considered the impression her attitude would give
until she actually saw the show? Really? Get a grip.
True. She's only dramatic when it comes to her own reputation.
How could she not expect that after bashing Ryo so harshly?
Viewers will form opinions about things that are said.
She's the one who initiated the smear campaign on Ryo.
What is she going to do after seeing this?
If you badmouth people, be prepared for the backlash.
If that were me...
If I'd had dinner with Tupas and had a crush on him...
If I was in that headspace
and my crush offered me a hug while I was sobbing,
I would accept it. But she acted like she didn't want it.
I'm not sure what to think.
-She was unusually rational about it. -You think so?
He even told her "I like you" three times and she barely reacted.
That's true.
How unaware is she not to react to that?
I'm seeing some bad habits from Tupas, too.
There was no reason for him
to give Hana that mini-lecture before going to check in on Emika.
That was lame.
-This situation is hard to read. -What is Tupas really feeling?
I worry about what Tupas is thinking.
He confesses his emotions,
and yet we still have no idea how he feels. How rare.
He really drove home the last "I like you,"
but she replied with, "Oh, no, it's already 3:30 a.m."
-Good morning. -Morning. Are you sick?
-It's lingering. -Is it coming back? I'm sorry.
Are you doing okay?
Yeah, well...
Yeah.
Thanks for staying up late with me.
Don't mention it.
After seeing that episode, I put myself in the position of the viewers,
and I realized how unappealingly I came off.
I know you said your opinion of me hasn't changed.
But I know that those were my honest opinions at that time.
So I'm really rethinking my actions and want to do better.
It's rare to be able to see myself
with total clarity.
I wouldn't have had this opportunity were it not for Terrace House.
Even though chaos is ensuing on my social media accounts.
It's pure chaos...
I'm really grateful for your kindness in continuing to see me
for who I am, instead of believing what you hear.
I would love to spend more time with you.
But I've decided to leave the house.
Wait, when?
Sometime next week.
I want to see everyone before I go.
For real?
To be honest, I'd been planning to leave the house
since before you and Vivi arrived.
It's only been a month...
that we've known each other.
To tell you the truth...
I wish we had more time together.
I think... I like you.
Not "I think." I know.
And I know that...
I have feelings for you, too.
Where do we go from here?
Let's plan a date.
One last time, before I leave.
I'll be there, without a doubt.
I'll do this the right way...
and properly tell you how I feel.
Properly? Thank you.
I look forward to it.
