-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.
Now, we have a special guest joining us this week as well.
Please welcome actress Mei Nagano.
-Thanks for having me. -It's our pleasure.
-Happy to be here. -Hi, Mei.
How cute!
-Hi, Mei. -Mei!
I'm crazy excited.
Is this show appropriate for your reputation?
I couldn't wait for this day.
-Really? -Yes.
You've been watching?
I watch episodes as soon as they release.
-A true fan, then! -Yes.
Is there a particular housemate that you're drawn to?
-I got really into the Hawaii season. -Could it be...
-Guy was intriguing-- -It's Guy!
I hoped you were into Guilty Samurai.
-Yeah, Guilty Samurai... -No.
-Practicing with his bokken by the pool. -And you like Niki?
Yes, they gave us great scenes.
They did have that amazing scene
where they cascaded off the couch and clicked together like Lego.
There was no clicking sound effect.
I've only seen that happen in Tetris.
-What a great scene. -I'm sure Yamachan plays plenty of Tetris.
Hold on, Torichan...
-We all know he's still a virgin. -I am not!
I'm embarrassed by how strongly I just denied that.
You should be used to it by now.
-It still makes me blush. -Get over it.
So last week, at a barbecue, Ryo announced to the housemates
that he was planning to leave the house.
However, he hadn't made any plans or shown any effort
-to settle things with Vivi first. -Poor choice.
-I can't get behind it. -Vivi invited Ryo to the playroom and...
Yes.
I can't let go of the fact that you want to eventually move to America.
It's hard for me to imagine having a relationship with you.
So, this is goodbye.
Honestly, I didn't come to this house
with the intention of finding romance to begin with.
That explanation...
-If he told me that, I would be so angry. -Rightfully so.
-I agree. -On top of that,
he's been flirting the whole time, acting like she had a chance.
-Right. -It's confusing for Vivi.
Plus, the person that he just dumped began kissing him,
-and he let it go on for a long time. -Right.
What's his logic?
He's willing to take what he can get.
That's what it is.
It's like a seven-day free trial period.
-Exactly. -I get it.
He's the type to cancel his membership once the trial is over.
He's a master at compartmentalizing.
-That's all that means. -I see.
Do you feel comfortable around this conversation?
-I'm having lots of fun. -Really?
Glad to hear that.
Be careful about agreeing with me. It may reflect negatively on you.
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 can't wait to go trampolining.
Yeah, me, too. I'm super excited about it.
What do you think about these two?
-I don't know. -The friendship could grow into love.
But Hana just went through a pretty brutal heartbreak.
Kai has been there to support her through a lot of it,
even during the especially rough moments.
He pumped her up when she was down. Who could resist that?
Just hearing his nice voice might influence her.
Then Emika told Tupas that she planned to leave the house.
-Yep. -Oh, yeah.
Let's plan a date.
One last time, before I leave.
I'll do this the right way and properly tell you how I feel.
-I think their chemistry is strong. -Seems like it.
-Looks good to me. -What do you think, Yamachan?
I have zero hope that they will work.
-Why not? -What's your theory?
It won't work. I don't think Emika is actually in love with Tupas.
I see...
By being kind to Tupas, she's trying to regain fans who lost trust in her,
so she can leave on a good note.
This is damage control for her reputation and Tupas is a tool for that.
No matter how Tupas feels, they won't date.
That's our theory, right Mei?
-"Our" theory? -"Our"?
Sorry, Mei, he gets like this sometimes.
Impressive how he doesn't stutter, isn't it?
Impressive.
-How impressive. Yeah... -Scary, right?
Actresses, in particular, are attracted to this quality of his,
so please be careful.
Sorry, Mei...
but I'm already taken.
No one asked.
-Something smells so good! -For real?
I said I wanted curry, so, she made some for us.
-Avocado! -Are you hungry?
-Of course I am. -This looks so good. What's this?
The small pot is for you, Vivi. It's vegetarian.
Do you want chopsticks, Vivi? You want to try a bit?
If I start eating, I won't be able to stop.
So, I'll have some for breakfast.
-Go ahead. -Bon appétit.
Do you miss Ryo? Would you like to see him?
Oh, dear...
Why would you ask that?
Thanks. Your face answered my question.
Of course I'd like to see him.
So, you're still in love with Ryo?
Yeah. I think I'll see him again at some point.
That's the feeling I get.
What about you, Hana?
-Are you completely over him-- -Whoa!
-What? -What's with that noise?
Your reactions have been funny all night.
We didn't hear how your dinner with Kai went.
-Yeah! -Right?
-Hold on-- -We had fun.
What? That's it?
-We had fun, period? -So...
You don't feel attracted to him at all?
Not really...
But you two are good friends, aren't you?
He's very easy to talk to.
-I remember you told me that. -But...
I would prefer to be pursued.
We went out for monjayaki together.
But I had to push those plans to make it happen.
-I see. -Which cements the "just friends" feeling.
Instead...
If he would take the reins on things more readily...
I would feel more taken care of, more womanly.
When I'm around him, he doesn't particularly...
make me feel like a woman.
-I hear you. -In that case,
hopefully we'll have a more proactive person soon.
It's all we can hope for.
That's so true, though.
I'm envious that you made such a great friend.
-I feel like I can tell him anything. -Hey.
I bought some crème caramels. Shall we eat them on the rooftop?
Sure.
-I'll make some tea. -The rooftop?
If we put on some layers, it'll be fine.
Let's go.
-It's warmer than I thought. -I turned on the heater.
-It's been raining a lot. -Yeah, too much to eat outside.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
-Yummy. -Yeah, good.
Yeah.
-So... -Yeah?
I...
I'm planning to leave Terrace House.
-Did you see that coming? -Yeah.
Have you decided when?
Next week, on a day that everyone's home, perhaps?
Oh, no...
For real?
If we had met in a circumstance outside of Terrace House,
I never would have gotten to know you this well.
Don't you think? I'm really grateful for this experience.
-What about Tupas? -He was surprised.
But he expressed his feelings for me.
-He told you? -He did.
We made a promise to hang out one more time.
I have faith that Tupas will navigate the date
like a gentleman.
SHIBUYA, TOKYO
-Great work today. -Great work.
-What's up? -Yeah, so...
Starting this week,
-I'll be living at Terrace House. -What?
-Terrace House? -For real?
-Are you pulling my leg? -No, for real.
Aren't you super busy at work?
Business has picked up.
Yeah, things are a little hectic.
Well, that's to be expected for a CEO.
New competition has been popping up.
How many competitors?
-I'd say 20 to 30 new start-ups. -No way.
The fact that we're pioneers in the industry gives us an advantage.
Because of that, we're considered a high-end brand.
-That gives you more choices. -You could say that.
I wonder who you'll fall for.
-I can't imagine. -True.
It's hard to say...
I imagine you're a straight shooter when it comes to dating.
Of course. I might confess on our first date.
Slow your roll.
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
ITABASHI, TOKYO
-I'm too excited. -What if my pants tear?
Those are very likely to tear.
-I'm sure of it. Crazy. -With a dramatic sound effect.
Laugh with me if that happens.
I'll gladly laugh at you.
TRAMPOLAND TOKYO BRANCH
-This is it? -Maybe.
-It's big inside? -It could be big inside.
-Let's check it out. -Time to try it out.
-Hello. -Hi.
-Ready? -Ready if you are.
-Whoa. -This is crazy.
This is so scary. Scarier than I thought it would be.
-It's so fun. -You're not scared?
Awesome!
How is this so fun?
This is so great!
Awesome!
Let's try a trick together.
-On the count of three-- -What are we doing?
First, we'll bend our knees...
-Then we'll land on our butts. -Got it.
Ready, go.
-So close. -Again!
Ready, go.
-We got it! -Yay!
-This is the best. We finally got it. -We got it.
-Want to challenge me at jump rope? -Let's do it.
-Who can jump the longest? -The longest? Okay.
The loser should have a penalty.
What should it be?
-What would be fun? -Let's see...
The loser has to...
-I'm not sure. -The winner gets a demand.
Okay, cool.
-It can be anything? -Yeah.
-Okay. -One second.
Ready, go.
Wait a sec.
Your form is crazy!
-This is intense. -Still going.
-Is this easy for you? -Totally.
Wait, I can't...
-Hold on, hold on! -I win!
-That didn't count!
I'm the winner.
-Thwarted by a double jump. -I was about to die.
-I messed it up. -What should I have you do?
Okay, I know what I want.
Could you...
paint a portrait of me?
Paint your portrait? I see...
-Will you? -Yeah, sure.
-For real? -I'd be happy to.
I'm super excited.
I was so envious when you gave that painting to Ryo.
Super exciting.
So, what's your ideal date?
My ideal date?
We'd go to a super remote place in nature.
-Yeah. -And just enjoy each other's company.
-That sounds great. -And the view.
-Nice. -I mean, the vast landscape.
-What about you? -My ideal date?
-Going to the aquarium. -Nice.
-I've never had a date at an aquarium. -That's a great idea.
I like your nature plan, too.
-Nature would rock my world. -Agreed.
-Hello! -Hi.
-What are you cooking? -What?
-You cooking? -Yeah.
-What are you making? -Fried shrimp.
Fried shrimp?
How was your date?
It was awesome.
-It was? -Trampoland is the best.
Nice. What was it like? What did you guys talk about?
I feel like our connection has deepened more than before.
Every so often, when I see her...
-How should I say-- -When you see Hana?
Yeah.
When I see her, I see a genuinely beautiful spirit.
Her eyes shine from within.
You're talking about her personality?
-Everything? -Everything about her. Yeah.
Do you think you're attracted to Hana?
Yeah, I do.
But there needs to be something to help bring us closer.
-To close the distance? -Yeah, but I don't know what.
I see.
By "something," do you mean like a romantic date?
You're looking for the right moment to ask?
Yeah, exactly.
Hana tends to like chivalrous gestures.
-Yeah, that's right. -I think that's her type.
-She likes a person who takes the lead. -Yeah.
Someone who's proactive about planning dates, so...
-Maybe you should plan something for her. -Plan a surprise?
-Yeah. Go for it. -I won't let you down.
I don't know. That's my two cents.
YOMIURILAND INAGI, TOKYO
To tell you the truth,
I've never been to an amusement park with a girl.
-Really? -Never on a date.
-Crazy! -This is crazy.
So beautiful.
-Shall we take a picture? -Let's do it.
Looks great.
You have the same expression on your face
that you had when we went to see the movies. Funny.
STARLIGHT BANDIT OPEN AT 4:00 P.M.
The Starlight Bandit is now ready to launch.
What's this? We're fist bumping?
The shooting star roller coaster, Starlight Bandit, is about to begin!
Yay!
It's going to explode over there.
Whoa!
-Yay! -Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
-Look, over there. To the side. -I got it. It's beautiful.
This is high.
-That was so fun. -It was.
-I could go again. -I'm good.
-That wasn't enough. I want it again. -I'm done.
Let's go to Universal Studios next.
I was expecting an open hand.
I instinctively made a fist.
It's like holding hands with Doraemon.
But I won if we're playing rock, paper, scissors.
Thanks for doing that.
It's cold.
-This tree is decorated beautifully. -Isn't it?
Thank you for telling me about your plans this week.
-About your departure next week. -Yeah.
Within the last month,
spending time with you...
has showed me...
how special you are to me.
-You know that, right? -Yes.
To put it simply,
I really like you.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
-I like you. So... -Yes.
So...
Will you be my girlfriend?
-If you'll have me. -For real?
Yeah.
I can be lame sometimes.
But if you'll have me.
I wouldn't have you any other way.
You're making me blush.
What I've been thinking is,
if you agreed to date me, I would leave Terrace House when you do.
-You've only been there for a month. -Yes, but...
It'd be too sad without you there.
I want to share my remaining time at the house
with you.
Earlier, on a whim...
-You offered your hand. -I felt like holding hands with you.
-But because I made a fist? -Yeah.
I thought you would reject me.
I knew it.
I regretted it right as I was doing it
and hoped that you would offer your hand again.
I've been thinking a lot about you.
-Your hand is very warm. -Yeah.
-I look forward to spending time with you. -Me, too.
So embarrassing.
-Is it? -You have lipstick on you.
-Why are you embarrassed? -Why wouldn't I be?
I've been pegged as being experienced with men.
That's what they thought.
-But that's-- -The cat is out of the bag now.
I like how unexpected that is about you.
-I'm home. -Welcome home.
Hey!
-It's nice and warm in here. -I'm home.
Welcome home. It's insanely cold today, isn't it?
I want something warm to drink.
AT A MATCH IN OSAKA!! -HANA
-Is it just you, Vivi? -Where's Kai?
He's asleep.
-He is? -Yeah.
So, today, we've decided...
to begin dating.
-We're a couple. -Nice. Is this really happening?
That's amazing.
Also, I've told Hana and Tupas
about this already.
Next week, I'm planning to leave Terrace House.
Next week?
-For real? -Yeah, I needed to tell you...
No way!
I'm not crying, I promise.
I'm not gone yet.
I'm not crying.
Actually, these are tears of joy.
There she is.
I'm sorry I made you sad. Here you are.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Hi! -Hey.
What's up?
-We have decided... -Yes?
-Emika and I... -Yeah.
...are now a couple.
-That face... -It's so obvious you're out.
-So close to the screen. -Congratulations!
-I have one more thing to tell you. -Okay.
You know that Emika is leaving next week, right?
Yeah.
I'm planning to leave the house along with her.
-My jaw just popped. -What?
The biggest reaction.
-Excuse me, what? -That's my plan.
-What? No way? -That's what I'm planning.
-Vivi just heard, too. -You've got to be kidding me.
-Three people leaving at once. -I'm gonna miss you.
-I feel sad. -I'm sad that you're leaving,
I don't know how to feel.
-I'm sorry. -Don't apologize.
-For real, congratulations, Emika. -Thank you.
Tupas, take good care of our Emika.
Of course, happily.
-Okay, that just happened. -No way!
-Can't believe it. -Good game.
-Congrats.
-Ryota, you seemed very impressed by her. -I am.
-About what? -By her gall.
I underestimated Emika.
What do you mean?
-You were looking down on her. -I was.
Her commitment is impressive.
She knew that the damage to her reputation online was so severe,
that the only thing that could fix it was saying yes to Tupas.
That was her hidden weapon.
-Really? -It's a sham relationship?
-Of course it's a sham. -Are you sure?
-Definitely. -Really?
-Surely, they've broken up by now. -Hold on.
-That's too soon. -I was outwitted.
-What did you think about that, Mei? -Emika...
-I don't believe her. -Doesn't it seem fake? See!
You're on his team?
-I'm a huge fan of Tupas. -What?
-Why? He's a great person.
-What about him? -Did you see when he got drunk?
I did see that episode. That was the alcohol speaking.
But when he was consoling Emika in later episodes,
how could you question his kind and genuine nature?
Maybe that flew under the radar for me?
But you've got to give it to him,
-Tupas is a kind guy. -I think so, too.
He's not alluring per se, that much is true.
Wait, you really think so?
-What? -You think he's sexy?
-Yes, he has plenty of masculine allure. -What?
Wait, am I wrong?
-Am I? -My friends said so, too.
They were raving about Tupas.
-Really? -I'm too old to relate.
-He is a kind person. -He's kind.
During their kiss, Mei was making the cutest face.
-She hid like this. -So cute.
What is this from?
Tien Shinhan from Dragon Ball had a move like this.
-But Tupas-- -You could see everything.
I guess he's a nice guy and popular.
-He is a nice guy. -From what we've seen,
nice guys don't usually succeed in dating.
-True, they mostly end up as friends. -Generally, that's the trend.
-Is that so? -Is it weird to hear us say this?
-Yes. -Maybe we are jaded.
-It's easy for that to happen when-- -It's Yamachan.
What?
Did you just refer to me like I'm a virus?
The Yamasato Virus.
-I'm not patient zero. -I didn't mean to.
So, their relationship seems totally normal to you?
Tupas is too good for Emika.
-What a sucker punch. -Whoa, wow, oof...
Ideally, I would like to see him date someone more honest and authentic.
However, according to Emika, she insists that her character is being misunderstood,
and that she's actually naive and not experienced in love.
She said she was never popular in school.
But, Mei, you've known all along that it was a lie, haven't you?
They say, "There is no smoke without fire."
That's right.
I believe we received the correct impression from her actions.
Amazing, Mei.
-That's what I think. -You're absolutely right.
But there is a chance that Emika was... This might be weird for me to say.
She was having a tough time emotionally, which is mainly my fault,
-and Tupas was there-- -No, it was because she watched herself.
But while that was going on,
Tupas was supporting her and expressing his affection.
That must have made a strong impression.
-He was there for her every day. -We didn't think much of Tupas,
-but if we borrow Mei's point of view-- -You thought he was lame?
-Super lame. -What?
-What made you think that? -We're so bad.
-It's hard to explain. -How do I say this...
Why?
He often seems like he's not paying attention.
-That kind of thing. -It's good to hear a fresh point of view.
-That's true. -If Tokui were here,
perhaps he would've given us a counterargument.
He'd say, "You'd be surprised by a guy like Tupas."
I guess everything worked out.
It appears so. What else? What about Kai?
Kai thinks Hana is cute.
-That's right. -He said he's attracted to her.
And that portrait. Does that mean they will spend
uninterrupted stretches of time with him observing her face?
He could be like, "I can't see you very well.
-I can't see..." -And they'd get closer?
Could that happen?
Does that happen during a portrait session?
-Best case scenario. -"Now, why don't you take off a layer?"
-Why do you have to take it there? -Don't make her strip.
-Creep! There's a creep right over there. -Creep!
Catch me if you can.
-I won't go down easily. -He's cheating in his mind.
Please stop. That's a sore topic right now.
Hold on, what?
Is that the new person?
-Did you hear that? -Yeah!
Good morning!
-You just woke up? -Hey, can you get the door?
-I'm going to answer. -Yeah.
-Yes? -Good evening.
I'll be moving in tonight.
-Yes... -What?
-He's barely awake. How cute. -Wait, I've never done this.
My heart is pounding.
-Hello, good evening. -Good evening.
-Hi. -Good evening.
I'm Toshiyuki Niino. Pleasure to meet you.
-Likewise. -Nice to meet you, too.
Great. Hi.
-Nice to meet you. -Hi.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
-How old are you? -I'll turn 30 this year.
-You're the eldest. -He's the eldest.
-Really? How old are you? -I'm 22.
-You're 22? -Yes.
-I'm 24. -Cool.
-I'm 22. -I guess I'm a lot older, then.
What do you do for work?
-I currently run a business. -Wow.
-Crazy. -Yeah.
TOSHIYUKI NIINO, 30 BUSINESS OWNER
We offer support for exit strategies.
I don't imagine you've heard of it.
-No, sorry... -What does your company do?
We do resignation mediation. That what it's officially called.
When people are ready to leave their jobs, we mediate that process.
That's the main service we offer.
We're hired by people who want to resign but can't bring themselves to express it.
Okay.
For example, if they fear their managers,
the process could be pretty awkward, right?
So, we step in to assist them with the process.
That's what I do in a nutshell.
-So are you the CEO? -Yes, that's my title.
Cool.
So how exactly do you mediate? Do you coach them through it?
The overall process is the client submits their resignation letter,
and we handle the correspondence following that.
-I see. -So...
-They hire us-- -You don't push them to do it.
They initiate it themselves and you talk to the company for them.
For instance,
we'll ask when they have to return their laptops and company-owned items.
After you submit your resignation, it's awkward to visit work again.
We help to alleviate their two or three months' stress
-until they actually leave. -I see.
I started out as a salaryman,
and I had a hard time quitting when I wanted to.
There are actually a lot of people in the same situation in Japan.
-It's very specific to Japan. -Yes.
That's very true. In some of the worst cases,
people have taken their own lives because of this situation.
I want to help prevent that from happening.
-Awesome. -That's my motivation.
-What an adult. -Yeah.
We've got an adult in the house.
-Hello. -You've arrived.
Hi.
-He came, Kai. -Good morning.
Morning.
-I'm Kai. -I'm Toshiyuki Niino.
-Toshiyuki? -Yes.
Do you have a partner?
-I don't. -He wouldn't be here if he did.
-Since when are you single? -Quite recently.
-We broke up recently. -What kind of person was she?
-What kind of person? -Yeah.
She was very responsible.
-Interesting. -I tend to be childish.
-How old was she? -She was one year older than me.
Do you prefer dating older women?
That's not the case, but I have dated older women quite a bit.
But I'd welcome a younger person, too.
-I see... -Yeah.
Go on, tell him.
There's one more person who lives here.
-Her name is Emika. -She's in English class right now.
-I'm with her. -Does that mean you two are dating?
-Yeah. -Is that right?
-Yes. -That's great.
Thank you.
They've been nesting in the playroom as a happy couple.
-Would you like to see our room? -Yes.
-It's pretty fancy. -You and I have to share it.
-True. -I'll come with you guys, too.
You're coming?
-So, you two sleep in the playroom now? -That's right.
-So you've already made out? -We have.
Sorry to be blunt, but have you done the deed?
-No, we haven't. -Not yet. I see.
-Not... just yet. -I get it.
Do you have a crush, Kai?
There's someone I'm fond of...
I enjoy spending time with her.
Hana... I'm referring to Hana.
-I see. -We've hung out twice.
I had a great time both times.
We'll see what happens.
What is your impression of Vivi and Hana?
-They're great. -Great?
Yeah.
-They're very beautiful. -Yes, I agree.
What's up?
-Who's there? -Surprise.
Excuse me. Oh, you ended up on the top bunk?
-Yeah, this spot's mine. -This is our Hana.
-Hi. -Nice to meet you.
-Likewise. -Are you hungry by any chance?
I'm starving.
-If you'd like, I could prepare dinner. -Amazing.
-If it's not asking too much. -Not at all.
-Look at this. -Fantastic.
-Please dig in. -Thank you.
-Is there anything you don't eat? -Not really.
-Did you mention soy sauce? -I do try to eat gluten free.
-I've been doing that lately. -Yay!
-Are you gluten free? -She is.
-Nice. -But you know what...
It's hard to follow when I eat with the group.
Yeah, and it's in soy sauce, too.
-What? -Soy sauce.
-Yeah. -So, soy--
We have steak sauce if you want.
-Welcome home. -Emika.
-I'm home. -Look at you! Super cute.
-Hello. -You look great.
Nice to meet you.
-I'm Toshiyuki Niino. -Mr. Toshiyuki Niino?
I'm Emika Mizukoshi.
-I've followed you on the show. -Really?
I'm sure they've asked, but do you have a girlfriend?
-Well... -I asked him earlier.
I'm single.
-What's your type? -My type?
-I like a slender person. -Okay.
-Appearance-wise. -Got it.
Personality-wise, I'd like someone I can have meaningful conversations with.
Have you decided when you're leaving?
-Friday morning? -Yes, so, the day after tomorrow.
Okay. So, tomorrow night we'll have your going away party.
-I need to pack. -I'll barely get to know you.
-I'll be here tomorrow. -True.
-Are you busy tomorrow? -What about pancakes?
-I'll be heading to work. -Pancakes tomorrow?
You have work to do. Do you still want to make pancakes?
-Yes, let's do it. -I'll get supplies.
-Tomorrow? -Yeah.
-You're working tomorrow? -That's the plan.
What time will you head out?
Around noon.
What would you like to experience at Terrace House?
Let's see... I want to go out to eat with everyone.
Yeah, and I want to go on dates.
-What do you think, Hana? -About what?
I'm pretty sure Kai is interested in you.
Seriously? I think we're just good friends.
I don't know about that.
I think he likes you.
I don't have much experience being approached by the opposite sex.
I can't tell if he likes me or not.
Remember the day you guys went to the trampoline park?
He said afterwards that he thought you were really beautiful.
I'm having a really hard time believing that.
I think Kai just isn't that forthcoming with this thoughts.
Back when I was ranting to him about Ryo in the playroom,
he told me that I had beautiful eyes
and that I was cute. He showered me with compliments.
It did make me happy to receive that.
I like that he's expressive in that way.
So, your pancake-making session tomorrow with Kai
will be something to look forward to.
-We had one intense month. -Yeah, very intense.
I can't believe we're leaving in two days.
True, it hasn't sunk in.
You won't be able to watch the episodes that you're in with everyone else.
-When you arrived home today... -Yeah?
-It was so great. -What do you mean?
Your look today.
-When you came back from the salon. -I see what you mean.
-My straight hair? -Yeah.
Thank you.
-Mr. Niino-- -Wait a sec.
-We have a boss in the house! -Amazing.
He arrived and immediately started talking about himself.
-He's very confident. -I was amazed.
-His explanation was pretty long. -But easy to understand.
-Practically a pitch meeting. -That's right.
We can't ignore how easy Hana is to read.
-She couldn't stop grinning. -She was a bit--
-I feel bad for Kai. -Kai seemed a bit worried.
Kai is sensitive, so he catches onto things quickly.
How about you, ladies? When a viable man arrives on the scene,
do you forget about all the other guys?
We do tend to get distracted, don't we?
Well, he didn't hold my attention, so I can't say either way.
That's why I've been withholding my opinions.
-I don't have much to say. -I wasn't enamored, either.
How about you two?
It doesn't look like we have any fans in the studio yet.
-It's hard to say... -But socially speaking,
he has outstanding credentials.
-He's only 30 and runs a company. -That's true.
But because of this, Kai may get jealous and be motivated to act sooner.
-I really want to see Kai play offense. -Me, too.
In that respect, we appreciate Niino's presence.
You're a CEO, but they're treating you like a convenient side character.
-We'll become fond of him with time. -We'll find his strengths.
It takes time.
It might turn off the other housemates if he talks about himself too much.
They're so much younger than him,
-so I think he intrigues them. -There's the possibility.
That might happen, right, Mei?
-It could... -Very unconvincing.
-He has no clout. -It's too soon to tell.
-Yes, he just arrived. -We don't know enough.
He seems like a very kind person,
but he looks like he's overly confident.
I think so.
-It may be difficult to get to know him. -I see.
-He hasn't shown his true colors. -No.
Mr. Niino could be an interesting character.
That's a possibility.
Mr. Niino has something that makes us excited.
I want to see this CEO slowly lose his composure.
-Seriously? -Great opinion, Mei.
I'd love to see that.
-Shall we get started? -Let's do it.
Let's go.
Will you root for us, boss?
-Will you, boss? -Of course.
-Is it coming together? -I think so.
-Am I using this correctly? -Yeah, you are.
What are you up to, boss?
-Are you working? -Yeah.
-Do you usually commute to an office? -Usually...
-I don't need to be at the office. -'Cause you're the boss.
-All of your employees, too? -That's correct.
-Is that so? -Yeah.
Interesting.
We have a meeting just once a week.
-Really? -Yeah.
Amazing.
Okay, let's fry them up.
Make small circles.
Like this.
-Put more on top. -Smells great.
-On top? -Yeah, but this batter might be too runny.
Hope it works.
-Let's see what they look like. -Yeah.
Flip it over.
-They sat a bit too long. -Seems like it.
-They sat a bit too long? -This one sat too long.
It's burnt.
-It's burnt. What are you doing, boss? -Come on, boss. Boss!
-Boss, you can have the first plate. -Really?
Thank you so much.
-Did you put maple syrup? -No.
They're good without it.
-Really? -Yeah.
Delicious. I can't believe these are gluten free.
-Really? -Yeah.
Yay.
What kind of dates does everyone go on?
I haven't been on any dates.
-You haven't? -No.
Shall we go on a date, then?
Shall we? Shall we give it a go?
-You caught me off guard. -Now that we've met.
I can't hide my shock.
How do you define a date, though?
-Good question. -If you hang out, that's a date, right?
-That counts as a date? -Doesn't it?
-You two went to the trampoline park? -We did.
-Isn't that a date? -Is it?
It sure is.
-Really? -It is. No?
-It's a date, right? -It is, yeah.
-So, you've been dating. -I'm blushing.
Emika has gone out a lot.
She arrived a month before me, but she's been on a lot of dates.
-Like what? -High-end sushi in Ginza.
High-end sushi in Ginza?
I can take you to high-end sushi in Ginza, too.
-Ginza. -That might be fun.
-But I prefer high-end sushi in Shibuya. -High-end sushi in Shibuya?
-There's good sushi in Shibuya? -So many places.
-Really? -Yeah.
I'm a wrestler and people assume that I love eating meat.
But actually, I love fish.
-Let's have seafood somewhere. -I would love to have seafood.
Let's have a seafood date.
It makes me a bit nervous when you pose it as a date.
We don't mind if you have to get ready.
-Thank you for the pancakes. -Sure.
-Have a great day at work. -I'll be on my way.
-Go get 'em. -Thank you.
-Your first chalkboard message? -Yep.
I like your style.
You have interesting handwriting. Is that a music note?
-Is it a music note? -What? Yeah.
HEADED TO WORK -NITO
You use emojis at 30?
-It's my style. -Are you 19 years old?
-Have a great day. -Thanks, see you.
-Have fun. -See you tonight.
-Bye. -Later.
Our trampoline park visit...
was that a date?
Of course it was.
That makes me happy.
-Really? -My reason for coming here was to date.
-I'm happy I went on a date. -Are you?
-Let's hang out again. -Yeah.
I would love to go out.
