-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. -Yep.
Actress Mei Nagano is joining us again this week.
-Meichan! -Thank you for having me.
You're so cute.
What do you think after being here last week?
I can't wait to learn more about our new Boss.
What would you do if you were to bump into him tomorrow?
-I would laugh in his face. -"Meichan...
Tell me which part of my face is blue right now."
You'd tell him, "It's right here!"
Let's have a theme song every time Boss appears on screen.
Then we slowly zoom in on his sideburns.
-Please don't, I beg you! -No, you're right, we shouldn't.
-I agree with Mei. -No one wants to see that.
Sorry I took it in a weird direction.
-That's not the tone of our show. -That's not our aim.
There's no segment where we feature clean-shaven faces?
No, definitely not.
We've already spent too much time on this topic.
That took a turn quickly.
So Vivi mentioned last week while the girls were chatting at the table
-that she still had feelings for Ryo. -How mystifying.
I think I'll see him again at some point.
That's the feeling I get.
Does that mean that they're still
communicating and meeting privately?
Perhaps we should've paid more attention to them.
Interesting. What a grand theory you pose.
-They're definitely seeing each other. -I think so, too.
I would hope Ryo would have better boundaries if that were the case.
Do you think Ryo's team complained about him being on TV?
I don't think so. I think he's trying to maintain his image.
Many of his fans are women.
He's afraid that dating would deter the fans,
so he's "pulling a Kenny," as I call it.
-That feels true. -Doesn't it?
He accepted a deep kiss like that while the cameras were still rolling.
Are we seriously going to believe that they would cease contact
once they were no longer being filmed?
-They'd have no reason to. -I agree.
In conclusion, they're likely dating without making things official.
Can we wrap up this portion of the meeting now?
I'll submit these findings as our final thoughts.
I just mean I'll share it on social media.
-You'll report on our behalf? -Yes.
-We nailed it. -Suspicious activity is happening.
-Indeed. -I'll relay that in my meeting notes.
-Sounds great. -Thanks.
Next we have...
-Hana. -Yes, Hana.
-Don't forget Hana! -Those two...
-They had a great time trampolining. -And still...
Hana doesn't feel attracted to Kai.
She might shift gears to chase after Boss.
-I currently run a business. -Wow.
We do resignation mediation. That what it's officially called.
So we'll get to dive deeper into his character this week.
He has a mask on, but that layer will molt soon.
"Molt"? You couldn't find any other word?
Once his outer layer has molted, it should get interesting.
His cheeks have been red this entire time.
-I can't see him being malicious. -He's certainly not a villain.
-That's true. -He doesn't seem like a troublemaker.
I mean, he mediates for people leaving jobs.
Plus, thank God Emika and Tupas are... they'll be leaving today.
Did you say, "thank God"?
They'll be leaving, and when that happens,
we'll get to welcome two new members. There will be lots of movement.
-That's correct. -It's a mass exodus.
This is Mei's last week as well.
-Right. -You want to see the new people, right?
-Of course you do, right? -I can't wait to get to it.
-As soon as possible? -Quickly. Let's get to it.
Is that a roundabout complaint about me talking?
-She's saying, "Shut up." -That's harsh.
-He's great, don't you think? -Yeah, Mr. Gluten-Free.
Yep. Here we go, Mr. Gluten-Free.
Mr. Sushi in Shibuya.
-Were those pancakes made of rice flour? -I imagine so.
It seems they made a special, gluten-free batch.
It made him so happy that he was saving some for later in his cheeks.
That's why his cheeks were stuffed?
That's right. He saved some so he could eat more later when he got to his room.
-Who does that? -Built-in doggy bags.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
Looks delicious.
Mr. Toshiyuki... I didn't think you could cook a hot pot dish.
I sure can.
-Delicious. -Simply the best.
-Ooh, yummy.
Hey, welcome home!
-I'm home. -Welcome home.
-What are you having?
Welcome home.
-We're home. -Are you two hungry?
-Starving. -So hungry.
I was filming our last "welcome home" greetings.
-Welcome home. I couldn't stop grinning. -We're having hot pot.
All right, do us the honors, Tupas.
I'm so glad we all met.
Let's continue to see each other even after we move out.
-We shall. -Let's hang.
This is not goodbye.
We'll meet again soon.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Excited to get to know everyone.
-Great to meet you. -Great to meet you.
So you're leaving at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow?
-I think so. -8:00 a.m.?
-Yes, because I have to get to work early. -Okay.
Have you gotten used to the house, Boss?
-Yeah. -Whoa, so quick.
-You'd like to date while you're here? -Yeah.
-You must be excited for the newcomers. -Yeah.
I'm excited to meet them.
Please don't say that. We're still here.
True.
You never know. You and I could spark a connection tonight.
That's a possibility for sure.
I do find her cute.
You hear that?
Don't you dare.
I'm 5'7'', but if I wear heels, I look a bit more slender.
Oh, for real?
-5'7'' is the ideal height. -You think so?
Do you want to hang in the playroom later?
That's a good place to start, don't you agree?
-Don't you dare. -"Don't you dare."
-He's serious about that.
-He said it kindly, but he's serious. -Dead serious.
-"Don't you dare." -"Don't you dare."
-Good morning. -Morning.
-Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning.
You got it?
That was dangerous.
I thought I might die.
-Is this everything? -Huh? Yeah.
Where did you pull that out from?
From my right pocket.
Thank you.
Why did you sign this, Tupas?
That doesn't make sense.
I thought it was weird, too.
-I thought, "But I'm leaving, too." -I wasn't sure,
but I thought the more, the merrier.
I will never forget the four months I spent here.
Thank you for the past month.
Thank you.
Take good care of Emika.
-Of course. -Good.
If you hurt her, I will come
put you in an octopus hold.
THANK YOU. -EMIKA
Shall we get going?
THIS IS NOT GOODBYE. THANK YOU. -TUPAS
-Be good. -Thank you.
-Thank you.
Thank you for always listening.
I don't like this.
Let's get dinner soon, like, tomorrow.
Best of luck with everything.
-Thank you. -Thank you, too.
I don't like this.
-But really, thank you. -Good luck. See you soon.
-Yeah, I'll try my best. -Call if you need anything.
I'm so sad.
-Thank you. -Call me whenever.
Let's hang out soon.
Be good, you two.
Thank you.
See you soon.
-Thank you. -See you two.
Wishing you happiness.
And then there were four...
-Hana, remember our seafood dinner idea? -Yeah.
-When would you be available? -Oh!
I thought that conversation was a fluke.
-A fluke? -Definitely not a fluke.
I thought I was hearing phantom voices.
Do you have a preference, this week or next?
The only day that would work this week would be tonight.
Luckily, I'm free tonight...
-Just our luck? -I could make it.
Luckily, you can make it.
-Yes, but I'm not emotionally prepared. -I see.
Let's do tonight.
Yeah, if that works for you.
-Yes, I'll settle my feelings by then. -Sounds great.
I'll reserve a table at a great seafood restaurant.
Yay.
I look forward to it.
I have work later, so I think I'll nap till then.
-I couldn't sleep last night. -Don't you have a photo shoot?
Yeah.
I'm gonna go get ready...
-Are you napping, too? -No, I'm getting ready to head out.
-Does compost go here? -Huh?
Yes, that's compost.
-Thanks for doing that. -No problem.
So, you don't eat cheese?
I try to avoid casein.
I think casein is what it's called.
It's a protein that's in milk. You've heard of it?
-Yeah. -That stuff...
I've heard it's not good to ingest.
-Oh, I see. -Yeah.
-That's why you drink soy milk? -Right.
Soy milk doesn't agree with my stomach.
-Really? Soy is a no for you? -So I don't drink it much.
Yeah, I don't do soy milk.
-It makes me break out. -No way.
Yeah, soy milk does that...
I haven't had many chances to chat with you yet.
-That's true. -Let's do dinner sometime.
-Dinner? -Yeah.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yes, let's.
Sorry, I'm not used to being asked out like that.
-Let's grab dinner. -Yeah, sure.
How about Monday?
-Next Monday? -Yeah.
-Monday sounds good. -Okay.
-This is moving along quickly. -Yeah, why not?
-Sometime early afternoon or evening? -Okay.
-Sure. -What's a good time for you?
I'd prefer not to be out too late.
I have to get up early for work the next day.
-I have to catch a bullet train-- -So what time?
I'd appreciate it if we could get home by 11:00 p.m.
Sure, no problem.
-Getting back by 11:00 p.m. would be-- -So maybe around 6:00 p.m.?
Yes, that would be very helpful.
What would you like to eat?
-I like seafood. -Seafood, got it.
-If that's all right. -Seafood sounds good.
-Thank you. -I'll do some research.
Thanks so much.

How was your day, Hana?
-Whoa, you scared me. -Sorry to keep you waiting.
It's a little far from here, so let's take a taxi.
-Let's go. -You scared me.
I thought you'd arrive from that way.
-I was so focused in that direction. -My bad.
-Good to see you. -Let's take a taxi.
Okay.
Hello! Thank you.
-Everyone ready to go? -Yes, let's head out.
-Isn't it freezing today? Crazy cold. -So cold.
-Sorry about earlier. -No worries at all.
CITRUS
-Thank you for inviting me out. -Don't mention it.
-Happy to be here. -Likewise.
-Mmm... delicious. -Hot tea is so good.
-I love the non-alcohol life. -Ditto.
What time did you finish work?
Today we were shooting till about 6:00 p.m.,
and they put some crazy makeup on me.
You were shooting a music video, right?
-Yeah, that's right. -I remember.
This was the look.
-Wow, that's intense. -It was too much to hang out in...
It looks great on you.
-Thank you. -Yeah, you pull it off really well.
I took it off, so sorry if it seems like I'm not very excited to be here.
You don't have any makeup on right now?
Yeah, other than tinted contacts and my eyebrows.
You look amazing without makeup, too.
-Let's eat. -Okay.
Yum...
-Delicious. -Agreed.
Looks delicious. I love 100% buckwheat soba.
-Plus, it's gluten-free. -That's right.
Until now, what's been...
the most difficult experience you've ever had?
The most difficult experience?
It was at the first company I ever worked for.
It was the company I joined right out of college,
and one of the most mentally challenging situations I've been in.
Why was it mentally challenging?
I didn't get along well with my boss.
I see...
They would yell on a daily basis.
That's awful.
But that became the inspiration for my mediation business.
So it all worked out in the end.
I respect the practice of choosing and honing a specific skill or service.
There's beauty in that, but it's not the only way to work.
-Of course. -That job taught me that.
So in a way, what my company does
is create an escape from the status quo of career expectations.
-We create an option for people to exit. -I see.
You're a very kind person, Boss.
-I think so. -Well...
-You're very compassionate. -All I know is...
I don't want others to experience the pain that I've gone through.
-Excuse me! Check, please. -Of course.
-Great. -Thank you.
-Don't worry about it. -How much is it?
-Really, it's okay. -No, no, will this cover it?
-I'm in my thirties. -But...
It's not a financial burden for me.
-Thank you so much. -Don't mention it.
-Thank you for the meal. -Sure thing.
Anytime.
-It was delicious. -Happy to treat you to dinner anytime.
SHIBUYA, TOKYO
EXIT INC.
-Shall we get started? -Sounds good.
This will begin our team meeting.
-Where would you like to begin? -Yes.
TOSHIYUKI NIINO, 30 BUSINESS OWNER
We're now in December.
2012: GRADUATED UNIVERSITY AND JOINED SOFTBANK
Companies will be issuing winter bonus salaries.
2016: JOINED CYBERBUZZ 2018: FOUNDED EXIT INC.
SINGLE 1 MONTH
Many people will plan to quit
after receiving their bonuses.
We can expect an uptick in inquiries due to this.
That's the trend that we predict, so let's be cognizant
of keeping our response times swift.
Let's all stay on top of that.
SAKURASHINMACHI, TOKYO
-Hello? -Hey, what's up?
-I have news, I guess... -News? About what?
You know Terrace House, right?
Oh, you mean my favorite show?
I've been chosen to live there.
What, really?
-You're lying. Are you for real? -Yeah.
I don't have much experience in love. I went to all-boys middle and high school.
Yeah, I know.
How do you think I should approach people? Be more proactive?
As your older brother, let me give you this piece of advice.
Hit the ground running. Dive in head first.
-So I'll ask people out left and right. -You got it.
Get in there and don't stop
-till you get results. -Results, got it.
It's about time for good results.
-That's right, make things happen. -It's crunch time.
SANGUBASHI, TOKYO
-This kitty is too cute. -Stinking adorable, right?
When will I start cat-sitting?
-Tomorrow. -Tomorrow?
-When do you move in? -Tomorrow.
What about work?
I'll keep working like I usually do.
-As per usual? -Yeah, I'll commute from Terrace House.
Okay, I see.
-It sounds like a lot of fun. -Yeah, and I like both of my jobs.
I'm hoping a charming person
will appear before me.
That's a good hope to have. What's your type?
Um... someone who's pursuing a passion.
A generous person.
You've been saying that for the longest time.
-From way back-- -That's your non-negotiable.
-Yes, it's a top priority. -I see that.
-Someone older? -Do you think there will be?
-There might be. -I think so, too.
I hope I meet someone.
I'm putting all my energy into making it happen.
-Yay! -The new housemates are here!
-They're finally here. -Woo!
-The boy seemed quite handsome. -Yes.
-He must get a lot of attention. -Agreed.
The woman is joining at the same time.
-She's very young. -Right.
-She's ultra hip. -Both shoulders were out.
I wasn't sure where to look.
Look at her shoulders.
-That's correct. -Don't you think?
It would be polite.
-If they're out, you should look at them. -Correct.
And so it goes:
Emika and Tupas are dating and have left the house.
But how do you feel about the exchange from the night before?
Between her and Boss, you mean?
Yes. Boss, AKA Daddy.
She was like, "You never know, you and I could hit it off."
-I loved seeing that. -You, too?
That's what I'd expect from Emika.
-I see. It suits her. -And now she's gone.
-Yeah... -No more.
Normally, you wouldn't say such things in front of your partner.
-Plus, they've just begun dating. -Exactly.
-It would create insecurity. -Leave it to Emika.
-Fantastic. -I love that about her.
-It suits her. -I wanted more of that.
Even better because you know there's truth in it.
-It's brutally honest. -You're right.
Boss went on a date.
-He did. -A seafood dinner outing.
He must not have garnered much attention from women in the past.
-Oh, interesting... -Huh...
-Not till recently. -Maybe that's why I can't hate him.
But he's a rich kid from Zushi.
-He grew up well-to-do... -That's what it is.
That's where he began, and now he has his own company.
He's just beginning to become confident in himself.
-As far as love goes. -I see.
He's very thorough when talking about his work.
It's almost as if he's reading from a script.
He sounds like those commercials that they play in taxis.
He does sound like a walking ad.
-Like those commercials from BizReach. -Yes, BizReach.
I can't believe he hasn't blurted out a call-to-action yet.
"When you need to leave, contact Exit."
"Exit..."
I can't read the atmosphere yet. Seems like Vivi is having fun.
-I don't know. -Something's up with Vivi.
-She was playing along. -She asked to be home by 11:00 p.m.
She did, didn't she?
Above all else, she needed to know when the night would be ending.
She said, "If possible, I'd like to be home early."
He seemed perturbed, like, "Oh, okay," and awkwardly started researching spots.
-"So I guess 6:30 p.m., then?" -"Would 6:00 p.m. work?"
I'm hooked on Boss.
-Already? -Currently?
He's funny. I perk up every time he comes on screen.
What would you do if you lived together and he messed up the thermostat setting?
He'd be sitting there all red-faced.
I would hurl ice cubes into his mouth.
-What are you saying? -How did you get there?
You'd treat him like a receptacle?
He would only retaliate by feebly saying, "It's cold."
-"It's really cold." -Would he resist at all?
Hello.
Hi, I'm the new housemate.
Yeah, um...
-Please, come in. -Okay.
Vivi!
-Huh? What? -It's happening.
-What is it? -It's happening.
-What is? -Come down here.
-Hi! -Hello.
-Nice to meet you. -You, too.
-I'm Yume Yoshida. -Yumi, hi.
-It's "Yume." -Yome?
-It's Yume, like the word for "dream." -Dream. Okay, got it.
-Great to meet you. -Likewise.
-Nice to meet you. -Please, sit.
Sorry about the state of the sofa...
-Have a seat. -Nice to meet you.
-This makes me nervous. Hana? -I'm Hana.
-Great to meet you. -Your hands are cold.
-I'm Vivi. -Vivi? Great to meet you.
-How old are you? -I'm 24.
-We're the same age, then. -We are?
What do you do?
I work at an IT company and do some talent work on the side.
YUME YOSHIDA, 24 SWIMSUIT MODEL
-Office work and entertainment? -Yes, I do both.
Whoa. Your office work is a regular nine-to-five?
Right. I work at the office on days that I don't have any talent gigs.
What do you do in the office?
It's a tech company, so we build apps and things.
-Games, too, and a bunch of other stuff. -Cool.
How long have you had the office job?
I think it's been four years already.
And what about the entertainment work?
With that, I'm in my third year.
So, with Terrace House...
-Why did you want to-- -What's my reason for coming here?
So, I'm currently 24, but up until now,
I can't say that I've had any grand goals or dreams.
I love both of the jobs I have at the moment.
But I wouldn't be heartbroken if I had to let go of the entertainment work.
I don't have a clear vision for my career goals.
I'm hoping this experience will help me figure out my passions.
-Are you hoping to fall in love? -I am.
I hope to meet someone great.
What kind of person are you into?
I like a manly man.
Someone who is compassionate
and tends to be a natural leader.
I like a proactive planner.
It's hard to find that kind of guy these days.
-Men these days tend to be submissive. -Aren't they?
Whoa!
-What? -Huh?
-Is that the other new housemate, a guy? -No way.
It's cold outside. Let me hurry up and get that.
-No way, crazy. -I'm scared!
-When I arrived here-- -It was like this, too?
-Three of us arrived at the same time. -Hello?
-Hello, I'm the new housemate. -It's him.
-Hello, please come in. -You were right!
-Hello. -Hi.
-Hello... -Hello.
-Hi.
-Hello. -Please, come in.
-I brought baumkuchen. -Thank you so much!
-How lovely. -I didn't bring anything.
I'm Shion Suzuki.
-Shun? -It's Shion.
-Shion? -Yes, Shion.
I'm 22 years old.
-You turn 22 this year? -No, I'll turn 23.
We're 22, 23, and 24 years old, respectively.
-It's chilly, isn't it? -It is a bit cold.
I'll enjoy this later.
-That cake looks delicious. -Yeah, it does.
What do you do?
I'm currently a student.
And I model.
-You're in university? -Yes, I'm a senior.
I'm currently in school and I model.
SHION SUZUKI, 22 RIKKYO UNIVERSITY SENIOR
-What's your major? -Economics.
What's your type... Do you have a girlfriend?
I don't, and I don't really have a type, either.
I guess someone who is considerate and practical.
I see.
How many people have you dated?
-I've dated three people. -Cool.
But I've never officially been in a relationship before.
Have you only ever dated older women?
Not at all--
I don't know why I assumed that.
But I could see that with him.
I've mostly dated people around my age, but I'd prefer older women.
Ideally you'd like to date older? I see.
Do you have a preference, Yume? How many people have you dated?
About nine people.
Wow!
-I'm very forward when I like someone. -How so?
I verbalize how much I want to see them.
I invite them out to hang.
-Ask them to hang... -"Let's meet up and hang?"
Yeah. I'm pretty straightforward about it.
I see.
Do you both like cooking?
-I don't cook at all. -Okay.
-I don't cook either. -I see.
I used to go to a university.
Although, I quit after two years.
-Where are you from? -From Hokkaido.
-Hokkaido? -Really? Where in Hokkaido?
From Furano. Have you heard of it? It's in the countryside.
Whoa! So how long have you been in Tokyo?
I moved to Tokyo when I was 21.
-I see. -I was in Furano for high school.
After that, I moved to Sapporo.
-Then I moved to Tokyo. -Okay, I see.
There are currently two guys living here, but they're both out at the moment.
-Okay, I see. -They should be back soon.
One of them is a standup comedian.
-The other... -He's a CEO.
-What? -By CEO, you mean...
-he runs his own business? -I have a feeling...
-Wouldn't they get along? -She and Boss?
I thought so, too.
-I'd like to meet him. -I was totally thinking that.
How old is he?
-Oh, yeah-- -He's currently 30, I think? Or 31?
-So he's quite a bit older. -That's Boss.
Would you like to see the room and put down your stuff?
Would that be okay?
What are you up to today?
I was about to leave before you arrived.
-Right now? You need to head out? -Yeah.
-Yeah, I need to go. -Thank you for getting that.
Great timing on my part, then.
-Yes, I had to come see the chaos. -Got you.
-Thank you, Hana. -Don't mention it.
I have to head out around 5:00 p.m. as well.
-Where are you headed? -I'm attending a live stream.
Or I should say, I'm part of a live-streaming show.
-That's where I'm headed. -I see.
So I'll be late coming home.
Here it is. And I think this bed is available.
-Okay. -I think Boss sleeps here.
-So this is me? -Yes, I'm pretty sure.
-Got it. Thanks so much. -So this...
is the boys' room.
Take as much time as you need unpacking.
-Yes, thanks so much. -This room is messy.
-No worries. -Are you okay with messiness?
-Well, not really. -Of course not.
All of this stuff must be Kai's.
-It's not a problem. -Okay.
-Thanks again. -Sure thing.
The guys' room is so messy.
-For real? -They're messy, huh?
I felt bad for him. Kai's stuff is everywhere.
Yume, would you like to see our room?
I'd love that.
That's super heavy, so I'll grab it.
-Don't worry, it's pretty light. -Are you sure?
Much lighter than the suitcases I usually...
-Carry around? -Yeah.
-Thank you! -Does this have a side handle?
Yes. Thank you!
-Okay, this is it. -Ooh.
-Wow, nice! -At the moment...
-Which one is available? -This bed is open.
-The bottom one? -Yes, it's available to move in.
Will do, thank you.
You haven't met all the guys yet.
-True. -You can't say much about them yet.
I have no idea.
-Do you prefer an older partner? -Yes, preferably.
All the more reason you and Boss will get along.
-You think so? -Yeah.
-You're a great fit. -Yeah, I can see it.
I think he'd be fond of you, too.
They're a perfect pair.
I can't wait to see him.
When will he be home?
HEADED TO A SHOOT. -YUME. OFF TO THE GYM. -VIVI
-What kind of pizza would you like? -How about Hawaiian?
-Hawaiian... This one, the tropical pizza? -Cool.
-It has pineapple on it. -Yeah.
What does your day-to-day look like?
So, for me...
I have school three days a week.
-Oh, yeah, you're a senior, right? -Yes.
-You practically don't have class anymore? -Correct.
Other than that,
acting is one of my dreams, so I take acting classes.
How long have you been doing that?
It's only been about a month so far.
Oh, okay.
Why do you want to be an actor?
I was originally planning to find typical work after college.
In what industry, for example?
I like traveling, so I was thinking a travel company.
-You like traveling? -Yes.
So that was the original plan.
It was, but...
I thought it was my last chance, so I applied to a modeling audition.
-I won the grand prize at that audition. -Wow, cool.
From there, I shifted gears to focus on modeling and acting.
-Wrestling matches must be hard work. -My matches...
Have you seen much wrestling before?
During high school, I was pretty hooked on WWE.
I even saw them live when they toured in Japan.
Really? I've seen them, too.
-I go every year. -Do you?
-You know a lot about wrestling, then. -I do.
Wrestling is becoming really popular again lately.
Yeah, that seems to be the trend.
-There's the pizza. Wasn't that quick? -It was.
-Bon app... Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
This is delicious.
-Yeah, yummy. -Isn't it?
Super yummy.
-Welcome home! -I'm home.
-Kai! Hey. -I'm home.
Um, who are you?
I'm Shion Suzuki.
-Shion Suzuki? -Shion Suzuki?
-You guys... -We harmonized.
How tall are you?
-I'm 6'1''. -So tall.
-How tall are you, Kai? -About 5'11''.
-For real? -Yeah.
Everyone here is pretty tall.
I'm just about 5'11'', too.
-You're a fashion model? -At the moment...
I'm a dedicated model.
-Like for a magazine? Which one? -Yes, that's right.
-It's called Fine Boys. -Whoa...
-Hey, Boss... -What?
What? You're scaring me.
-What's going on? -Are you coming on to him?
No, I'm not coming onto him, silly.
What is it? Did something happen?
A person who's your type...
-Has arrived? For real? -Yes, she has.
-She's already here? -Is she upstairs?
No, she's at work right now.
-Got it. -Working? This late?
-Interesting. Wow. -She works in an office.
She's slender
-with big boobs-- -Are you for real?
-She's cute-- -How did you know I like boobs?
You're a boob guy?
You look like you would be.
I don't remember ever mentioning that to you.
-Boob guys can't be trusted. -How did you know?
-I can't remember saying that. -They're not trustworthy.
Crazy. My expectations are through the roof now.
-I have a strong feeling-- -Too much hype is dangerous.
Yume's breast were enormous, right?
-They seemed substantial. -She's gorgeous.
-Really? -Her figure is perfect.
I hope she comes home soon.
She said she wouldn't be back till around 12:00 a.m.
-You'll see her tomorrow. -She works so late.
Interesting.
Is there anyone you're curious about?
-Of the three of them? -Yes.
Based on my first impression, I was drawn to Yume.
-Ooh. -For real? We're rivals.
-Rivals? Well, I-- -I haven't even seen her.
How about you two? I'm curious.
How do you rank them, Kai?
-My ranking? But I haven't seen Yume. -Decide with the info that you have.
-Based on everything you've heard so far. -Based on rumors?
-Hana is number one for me. -Okay. Nice.
-And you, Boss? -Me...
Yume is number one.
Based on what?
Based on boobs.
-Yay. -My first time in the playroom.
You're going to watch with us?
You don't appear in the episode yet.
-Do you have space? -Yeah, I'll watch.
-Even if you don't appear yet? -I still want to see.
Here we go. Who is this?
Hey, it's Tupas!
-I miss Tupas. -Tupas!
-I talked to him on the phone today. -Yeah?
-"I'll burn you a copy." -"I'll burn you a DVD."
-Tupas is the best. -I miss him.
-Wow, he's so serious at work. -I hope we hang soon.
-We should plan a dinner. -He's so cool when he's working, isn't he?
-Wow. -Where are you headed?
Bathroom.
-You can't hold it? -Nope.
-Oops, sorry. -I'm okay.
OFF TO THE LIVE STREAM -YUME
-I'm home. -Welcome home.
-Hi, nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
I moved in today.
-I'm Yume Yoshida. Yes. -You're Yume?
-Great to meet you. I'm Niino. -Pleasure to meet you.
What do people call you?
They've been calling me Boss, but I'm not very fond of it.
Someone told me a business owner had arrived.
-Yeah, that's me. -I heard.
-That's what they call me, but... -You don't like it?
No. Niino or Toshiyuki, you can call me whatever.
I see...
-Hmm... I'll think about it. -Let me know what you decide.
-Maybe a play on "Toshiyuki." -Toshi...
-Toshikun? -Toshikun. That's great.
-You like that? Toshikun it is. -Sounds great.
What's your business?
So, we do resignation mediation.
-For people who want to quit-- -You do it for them?
-Well, in short-- -You handle the processing?
We support people through the process.
-Got it. -Yep.
Would you like to sit? Or maybe have a drink?
-No one's here. -They're upstairs watching Terrace House.
-I see. -It was released today.
You're not watching?
I had some work I wanted to knock out.
Look at you. That's why you're Boss.
-Do you drink? -I do.
Would you like a beer to close your day?
-I'll have one. -Nice.
-Bottle okay? -Sure.
-You're not having any? -I'm pretty weak.
-Me, too. My face turns red so fast. -Really?
-Maybe I'll have some a little later. -Okay.
-We made it through the day. -Cheers.
-Someone bought bottles, huh? -Yeah.
-Where are you from? -Hokkaido.
-How about you? -Just from Kamakura.
What kind of work do you do?
The office is my company.
-I mean, my day job is at an office. -No worries.
The company is in the IT field.
-I have IT background, too. -You do?
-What genre? -I worked in cybersecurity.
-I see. -Before that, I was at Recruit.
-That's a prominent company. -Yeah, the name is well-known.
-I worked at a few big companies. -I see.
-What time do you usually head out? -Around 10:00 a.m.
-That's pretty early. -How about you?
-I can go whenever. -Because you're the boss?
Well, yeah, I get to choose.
But I head out around 10:00 a.m., too.
-We can commute together. -Yeah.
-Do you have weekly meetings-- True. -Commuting buddies would be fun.
-Have you gotten used to the house? -No, not yet.
-I arrived in the afternoon-- Sure. -I think I'll have some.
I arrived around 3:00 p.m.
But I had to leave for my shoot right after.
I didn't have much time to chat.
That makes sense. You were filming a show?
Yes, that's right.
What would you like to accomplish at Terrace House?
-My goals? -Or things you want to do while here.
-I want to celebrate Christmas. Totally. -A Christmas party would be fun. Nice.
-I usually don't have the chance to. -Me neither.
-I think they've planned a party already. -Nice!
-I look forward to that. -Yeah.
Did you spend Christmas with boyfriends in the past?
-You mean have I before? -Yeah.
-I have. -Of course you have.
-Are you currently in a relationship? -No.
-How long have you been single? -About six months.
Why did you break up?
-He wanted to dominate all of my time. -That kind of guy, huh?
-And I really like my freedom. -Okay.
You want time for friends, too.
Yeah, I love hanging out with my friends.
I don't want my lifestyle to be that different from when I'm single.
I get it. How long was your longest relationship?
-Not very long. Maybe a year and a half. -A year and a half?
-Is that short? How about you? -It's on the short side.
Maybe two and a half years.
That's only a year's difference.
-It's not that different. -A year and a half is short.
-The year makes a big difference, I guess. -I think so.
-We're being watched. -What? No way.
You're watching so intently.
-Good evening. -Good evening.
-Welcome home. Good evening. -I'm home. Hi.
-Is it over? -Yeah.
-It's done. -It was super fun.
-I wanted to see it. -Nice to meet you. I'm Kai.
-I'm Yume Yoshida. -Great to meet you.
-Kai, you said?
-Yes. How old are you? -I'm 24.
-You're so mature. -You think?
Where did Ryo's magnet go?
-I don't know. -Me either.
-It's missing. -Ryo?
He ran away.
-He used to live here. -Oh, okay.
-You had a magnet of his picture. -Did someone toss it?
-I hope no one tossed it. -You're still in love.
-I'm totally still in love. -I'm sleepy.
-I like how straightforward you are. -We both like each other.
-Is that right? -Maybe, I don't know.
So cool. I admire that you believe that wholeheartedly.
Are you two deciding by Christmas?
That's the plan.
-Deciding on what? -Well, that's, uh...
-The direction of their relationship. -Okay, I see.
-If you'll forget him or not? -No, if we'll date or not.
Huh? There's still hope for that?
-Huh? -I guess there is.
-Really? -Who knows?
I'm not sure. Time for bed.
I think we should head to bed.
So gross!
How scary! Did you see that, Mei?
Wow, crazy.
-That was a horror scene. -Intense.
Last week, we thought he was boring. Now he's spine-chillingly creepy.
-Wow. -That took a turn.
The amount of indirect contact from a beer bottle
-is too intimate, don't you think? -I would hate it.
How embarrassing. I would hate it.
I wouldn't be able to stand it, either. It's too much.
-That's what I thought. -Sharing a bottle is too much.
It'd been maybe ten minutes since they'd met.
On top of that, did you see?
He mouthed the entire opening.
-Ew, gross. -Instead of placing the rim on his lip,
he covered the entire opening with his mouth.
Why the whole thing, Boss?
When everyone else arrived, he became self-conscious
and started floating the rim above his lips.
He wouldn't touch his lips to it towards the end.
-Did you see that? -At the end, right?
Bringing it to his lips means a great deal to him.
-How scary. -That scene was electric.
I hope I don't have nightmares about it tonight.
-You just might, Torichan. -Could we see that scene again?
-You want to see it again? -The bottle swapping?
-Could we see it again? -It's hard to watch.
-Here we go. -There he goes!
Will he mouth the rim?
The whole darn thing!
Ew! Why the entire rim, Boss?
-He covered the rim entirely. -He did, he did!
One more time.
Let's see it.
Let's go for the whole thing.
-There he goes. -Boss, no!
I definitely saw some of the beer wash back.
-And now it's floating. -Dear God!
When there are people around, the rim floats.
Rims afloat.
That's the scariest thing I've seen recently.
-Isn't it? -It elicited screams.
Mei has been such a fan of this show
and she couldn't wait to join us here in the studio.
I've looked forward to it.
Did you think you'd be made to endure this footage?
I even dreamed of moving into the house.
-What, really? -Yes.
You can't, it's too dangerous.
-Now, I could never go. -That's right.
-You shouldn't. -I've lost all desire.
If you moved in, Boss would serve you so many beer bottles.
-Here you go, Mei. -Here you go.
You'd have a sip, then he'd go in for a swig.
-Ew, horrific. -Wow, jeez.
Seeing it in person is something else.
Please stop.
He'd turn it, as if he was blowing glass.
What are you making?
-He's a glass artist? -Turns out he's a skillful master.
-Oh, dear... -Yume is just
way too cute.
Kai seemed happy to meet her, too.
-Good for Kai. -So did Shion.
What if Shion were to jump into action now?
-Does he have it in him? -I don't know.
We can't focus on anything other than Boss.
-He stole the show. -Absolutely.
-A star has been born. -Indeed.
I've been waiting for this moment.
This has been shocking.
-I'm so grateful for him. -He's a heavy hitter.
She has great potential.
Seriously.
Daring to wear a stretchy top on the first day.
-And it's white, on top of that. -Yeah.
-It emphasizes-- -Every curve.
-I was shocked. -Me, too.
How would you score her?
-You want to score her? -Let's see...
-100% lived up to expectations. -Better than expected.
If she were beef, she'd be A5 grade.
Looks like you have a clear goal now.
-Well, we'll see. -Tomorrow, you should try...
-a kabedon. -Actually, that's a great plan.
That type of person... She's already dated nine people.
-She gets a lot of attention. -Yes, so she's used to it.
-To be memorable, you'll have to be bold. -You have a point.
-You know what's up. -Well, you know.
-I've been around guys my whole life. -I get that.
If I have a shot, I'll take it.
If the moment to do a kabedon presents itself, I'll take it.
Like, "Where would you like to go?"
The situation doesn't matter if the opportunity is there.
Like, "You'll go to so-and-so with me, right?"
-Bam. -It won't matter where.
What do you think of the guys?
I haven't really spoken with Kai, so I can't say for sure.
But Shion...
He's so shy and doesn't say much.
-He's hard to read. -I sense that, too.
But he's crazy handsome, though.
He does have a pretty face.
-He looks like-- -A Korean pop-star.
Yeah.
What about Boss?
He's a great guy.
Could you imagine dating him?
Sure, I could.
I can be interested in a large range of people.
But I'd only fall for a select few from there.
Could you see yourself...
making out with Boss?
Making out?
Hmm... could I?
If you had to say at this point?
I wouldn't write it off.
As long as it's not repulsive, I could.
Making out? What about sex?
I can't do it if I'm not in love with that person.
Would you like to go on dates with him?
I've barely gotten to know him.
I'd like to spend more time getting to know him first.
-There's definitely a chance, then. -Yeah.
