-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.
Last week, we welcomed our newest housemate,
Hana Kimura, into the mix.
I've mostly focused on wrestling,
ever since I started at 18 and even before then.
I've gotten to the point where I'm on a wrestling team called Stardom.
Because of that, I'm surrounded by women all day.
There aren't many opportunities to meet someone.
So I've come here to experience a beautiful romance.
Her mother was also a wrestler.
Her mother was a noteworthy fighter.
-Have you found out who it is? -Yes, I looked into it.
KYOKO KIMURA, 41 FORMER PRO WRESTLER
Her fighting style was brutal. She even fought in death matches.
Her name is Kyoko. She's well known in wrestling.
So Hana has inherited that rowdy spirit, and perhaps we'll get to see it.
-That's likely. -At some point,
she may reveal her grit to us.
-Good point. -It could happen.
Who here currently has a crush?
He didn't say who, though. I wonder who it could be.
-Emika seems like an obvious guess. -Most likely.
-That's my hunch. -Based on how well their beach date went.
Peppe must think he has a solid chance with her.
She's a master at getting men to think so.
-I see what you mean. -I think he likes her.
She's excellent at getting attention.
She truly has a superpower.
Especially the way she asked for a drinking companion.
-That became a legend. -That was a pro move.
-I re-watched that scene. -Really?
-You're not drinking today? -No, not today.
Let's have a beer.
I re-watched it once, then a few more times.
-You were hooked. -Couldn't resist.
-You just had to. -That gesture is irresistible.
-It is, isn't it? -Who could resist?
Also, Ryo returned home from his retreat.
He and Hana finally met each other.
-Hana couldn't conceal her attraction. -That was--
-Her eyes turned into hearts. -Her reaction was adorable.
I'm home.
-Nice to meet you. I'm Ryo Tawatari. -Nice to meet you.
-I'm Hana Kimura. -Hi.
-Great to meet you. -Great to meet you.
-We witnessed love at first sight. -Indeed!
-True. -However...
There's a certain force of nature
that can't sit still when it sees love bloom between two people.
-That's so true. -Indeed.
I don't have to leave till around lunchtime.
-Tomorrow? -Yeah. Should we go somewhere?
Let's do it.
She wastes no time.
She's like, "We may have to fight, and I'll shoot the first shot."
Immediately afterwards, she left with Ryo to find zucchinis to make face masks.
-They went on a grocery store date. -That's right.
The symbolism of "zucchini" is not lost on me...
-You're thinking what I'm thinking? -It's suggestive.
-Zucchini is a suggestive vegetable. -A suggestive vegetable?
That's what you said?
Zucchini is so--
There's regular vegetables, organic vegetables, and then...
-suggestive vegetables? -Yes, you got it.
You're like a European teenager.
Ryo is planning to attend her upcoming fight.
-That's right. -Yes.
She was like, "I can't do it..."
I imagine it'll be a violent match.
-I believe so. -I don't know what to expect.
-There will be no shortage of yelling. -You think so?
-Women's wrestling is like that, right? -Right.
Regardless of if you're a heel or a babyface character,
everyone's demeanor is primal when they fight.
There will likely be lots of profanity.
-Plenty of trash-talking. -Really?
-It could be quite intimidating. -Oh, no.
-That change in her demeanor-- -But what if he digs that?
That could be the case.
-That's one scenario. -Hopefully he does.
-That'd be the best outcome. -I'm hoping for that.
-He is an athlete himself, after all. -That's true.
He might have a greater appreciation for her athleticism.
Good point.
No one else wants to try it?
Yeah... You just rub it on like this.
-Can I try that, too? -Of course. Here.
-What does this do? -I need a mirror.
Mmm, I'm not sure actually.
It just seemed appropriate, so I grabbed it.
Look. And then...
See?
Got it.
-That looks familiar. -Yeah, but--
But how...
Don't we all need to lie down for this?
Otherwise, we're going to break our necks.
It's not comfortable.
Whoa.
-Hey, Peppe. -Halloween.
-Halloween? -We're having a Halloween party.
-I want to try that, too. -Here.
-Hey, I'm home. -Welcome home!
-Who is it? -Um, what...
-What's happening here? -We're doing a ritual.
-What? -Who's that? Our new housemate?
Zucchini face masks.
-Is it a new housemate? -This is a ritual.
-Welcome home. -Want to try, Emika?
-Did you cut your hair? -I cut my bangs.
-Your hair's shorter, Emika. -But today it doesn't look great.
-You're not even looking! -You're right, I can't see.
You dyed your hair, too, right?
-Did you dye your hair? -Can you see me?
-This is great. -We should've sliced these thinner.
Yeah, they start falling when they're too thick.
They'd stick better if they were thin.
-It's all Haruka's fault. -Why would you say that?
It's all your fault.
What's this?
-Miso soup? I want some. -Did you make miso soup?
Emika, have you had dinner already?
-Not yet. -Please help yourself to any of that.
-I definitely will. -I made that with Ruka.
-You made oyakodon? Cool. -Yep.
What time is the event on Sunday, again?
It starts at 12:00 p.m.
-Is it one-on-one or doubles? -It's one-on-one.
We're in the midst of the singles match league.
-It'll be happening all summer. -Cool.
When did you start wrestling?
I debuted at 18.
This will be my fourth year.
You started right out of high school?
I never finished high school.
-And began wrestling instead. Wow. -Yes.
Before wrestling, I had dreams of becoming a dancer.
-You used to do hip-hop, right? -I've been dancing all my life.
But back then,
when I thought about making a living by dancing,
it took the fun out of it.
I learned that I can't have my hobbies also be my career.
I see.
I didn't like wrestling very much in the beginning.
But I became fond of it once it became my job.
That's interesting.
Either way, I don't fit into traditional societal expectations.
What about you, Haruka?
You're an actress?
Well, I did more acting when I was contracted with my last agency.
But nowadays...
I do all sorts of work.
Honestly, my hobbies are more important to me at the moment.
-Hmm, I see. Like golf, you mean? -Yeah.
Nowadays, I work so that I can have my hobbies.
Okay, got it.
-I earn money for that. -Okay.
I love that this deep chat is happening while our faces look like this.
-Me? -Yeah.
Speaking such wise words with that pasty face.
-All of our faces are chalky right now. -All of us...
Anything fun happen recently?
Nothing fun happened because you weren't around.
That was the most perfect response ever.
-Yay, I got a compliment. -What are you craving?
-What would you like as a reward? -Um, let me see.
Something yummy?
-Yeah. I want top-notch Japanese barbecue. -Okay.
So, Ryo...
-what motivated you to move in? -Into Terrace House?
She beat me to the question.
You hadn't talked about it yet?
We haven't. Okay, I'll start.
Right now, I play basketball professionally...
Uh-huh.
-Why are you hiding your face? -No reason.
Did I say something funny?
-It's nothing, sorry. -So...
I want to play for Team Japan, or maybe play in a foreign league.
So I wanted to
get inspired by people who are following their dreams
in other fields.
-I see. That's a great plan. -Yeah.
-Got it. Thanks for sharing. -You'll make it to the Olympics.
-I'd like to participate. -It's going to happen.
-That'd be great. -You got this. Practice hard.
Me?
I came here because I want more people to become interested in wrestling.
-What? -That's not what you said before!
Wait, back up.
-Hold on, wait. -That's not it?
-Tell him. -What about that thing?
-Why would you lie? -The other thing.
-What about this? -Yeah, um...
This? I came for an adventure.
-Yeah. -This stands for "adventure"?
We'll discuss this in the girls' room later.
We will dive deep into this topic.
You won't tell me?
-Why didn't you tell him? -Yeah, for real!
What's with the giggling? Why did you lie?
You didn't tell him you're here for a beautiful romance.
Well...
-I'm not sure. -Were you too embarrassed?
What do you think of him now that you've met?
He makes such intense eye contact. Don't you think?
-I agree. -Right?
Peppe does that, too.
-Yeah. -Peppe doesn't make me nervous, though.
I see. It's only when Ryo does it.
Yeah. I can't sit still when he maintains eye contact with me.
I wonder why.
I don't know. Maybe I don't like him.
I highly doubt that's it.
I mean, all basketball players are casual daters, you know?
-Casual daters? Are they? -I think so.
I don't get a playboy vibe from him.
Of course he is. He has to be.
-He's for sure a playboy. -But why?
I really don't get that feeling from him.
-I am curious about him... -You like him, right?
There are no secrets in the girls' room.
Yeah... Well, um...
I'll go first. I'm curious about Peppe. But...
-I knew it. -But wait, listen.
-You have feelings for him? Really? -Hold on, listen.
I think Peppe is into Haruka as well,
-based on the way you two interact. -Really?
-For real? -I'm not sure about that.
I wouldn't say I'm in love with him.
It's just that I've been hanging out with him the most lately,
whether it's playing Pokémon GO or chatting about cars...
And it's comfortable to be around him.
Yeah...
I can't stop thinking about last night. Who raised their hand to that question?
-Yesterday? -At your birthday party.
-Oh, yeah, can you tell us? -Nope. No can do.
I don't want to see that episode on TV and find out nobody did.
Someone did raise their hand.
-We won't find out that you were lying? -Someone did confess.
For me, I wasn't sure whether to raise my hand or not.
-Why? Tell us why! -Because I'm not in love,
I'm just curious about someone.
-Or maybe not even that-- -Just tell us already!
-He's not my crush, per se... -Who is it?
It's Ruka, right?
-Yeah, it is. But no, wait. It's just... -What?
I'm not even sure if I'm into him in a romantic way.
You could see yourself dating him?
-I do like his looks. -I see.
But you two are never too far from each other.
-Really, Emika? -That's what I thought.
He's my Super Mario Brothers buddy.
-Really? I won't pry too much. -We're just gamer buddies.
But, like...
If he asks me what time I'm going to bed, I can't help but be like, "Whenever."
-And yesterday-- -That's so freaking cute.
Weren't you two out late together yesterday?
-We came home around 3:00 a.m. -What were you up to?
Playing Super Mario Brothers.
-By yourself? -No.
-With Ruka? -Yeah, playing with Ruka.
The whole time? Till three in the morning?
-Yeah, we were gaming the whole time. -Wow.
Romance seems to have started blossoming
-ever since you arrived, Hana. -You ushered it in.
I am an explorer on the lookout for love.
Your energy is infectious.

-Please, have the comfy seat. -Okay. Thank you.
You already know what you want?
-I do. Here, take a look. -You do?
Have whatever you'd like. I've been here many times.
-Really? -Their food is great.
-Are you getting along with Hana? -Hana?
The energy in the house has changed dramatically since she arrived.
Terrace House feels different.
Having her has sparked an atmosphere of openness between the girls.
I don't feel like I had been
-completely honest with Emika until now. -I can see that.
-Hana is easy to talk to? -Having her there
has made chatting among the three of us really fun.
And I've gotten to learn stuff about Emika
-that I had no idea about before. -Really? Nice.
Have you had a girlfriend recently?
I haven't had one since I got back from the US.
-So not for about two years. -Okay.
-She wasn't Japanese? -No. She was a foreigner.
If I had to choose,
I like the look of foreign women.
So what about Hana?
-Hana? -She's half Indonesian.
So I heard.
I heard that from Ruka.
Can you throw back lots of food?
-I'd say so, yeah. -You can?
I get hungry easily.
That's great. I'm a huge foodie.
So I'd love to have
-a dining buddy to hang with. -I see.
-Do you like cooking? -Cooking?
-You cook, right? -I do.
-I haven't had time to cook lately. -I hear you.
I thought maybe you weren't cooking because the kitchen's been too messy.
That's part of it, too.
Would you cook for your partner?
-I do like doing chores for my partner. -I'm that way, too.
I'd want to make her breakfast.
Well, I do, for sure.
I'd help her brush her hair.
-I see. You'd blow-dry her hair for her? -Totally.
I haven't had many chances to chat with you.
-I'm glad we came out today. -Me, too.
-Let's do this again when you're free. -Definitely.
-Or we can cook. I'll clean the kitchen. -That would be great.
KINSHICHO, TOKYO
So yesterday, he came home...
the basketball player who was gone on his team's retreat.
-He's so hot. -It's great...
JUNGLE KYONA, 28 PRO WRESTLER
...that there's someone you're into.
KONAMI, 23 PRO WRESTLER
-That's true. -But, I don't know...
-What? -Well, it's just...
I don't know how to interact with a crush.
-That sounds like you. -You become too self-conscious?
-Yes, and my face is too honest. -But like,
how could you look so ferocious and yet say something so innocent?
-I know. -For real, though.
He might mistake your distance as dislike for him.
True, we can't have that.
If you like him, you have to express that and let it be known.
-You tend to take the opposite approach. -I do.
-I would end up insulting him. -So true.
I don't understand that about you.
He's coming to see the show on the 8th.
-The match? -Yeah. The whole house is coming to watch.
-In Shin-Kiba? -Yeah, in Shin-Kiba.
But like, wouldn't you want him to see you at work?
I hope he's not repulsed seeing me in the ring
if I kick someone in the face with my eyes full of rage.
But would you want to date someone who didn't accept that this is your work?
Exactly.
You should want to be with someone who accepts you and your work,
-who likes you for who you truly are. -Yeah...
Hey, by the way... Ryo told me a bunch of stuff at our lunch today.
I want to be part of this conversation!
-Join us when you're done. -Hurry, get over here.
Let's wash those together later.
-Let me wash this cup that I need. -So, he said--
-Oh, hey, welcome home! -Welcome home.
-I'm home.
-What's up? -Cute glasses.
-My glasses? Thanks. -So?
-What did you talk about?
-You had lunch? -Yeah, we did.
So, he hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
His last relationship was in the US, and he was dating an American.
-Whoa. -Yeah.
-I remember he said she wasn't Japanese. -Okay.
And he says he's the nurturing type
that wants to take care of all his partner's needs.
-He wants to brush and do her hair. -Oh, my God.
For real?
And he wants to cook breakfast for her.
Oh, my God. For real?
-Who's this about? -Ryo.
-We're talking about Ryo. -Oh, Ryo? Okay.
Nice. I'd love it if my boyfriend dried my hair.
-That's cute. I'd love that. -He wants to take care of her.
-He loves acts of service. -No way.
-Interesting... -Indeed.
-I love how things are progressing. -Me, too.
We have a teleprompter showing us the chats we just saw.
I feel like these happened in a gentlemen's club.
I wholeheartedly agree.
It sounded as if Ryo was a returning client
when Emika said, "Nothing fun happened because you weren't around."
Then he was like, "Perfect answer. Want a reward?" "Top-notch barbecue."
-A bona fide escort! -Classic gentlemen's club conversation.
Do guys fall for that type of interaction?
Wouldn't it feel too much like lip service?
I think people feel validated
-when given that sort of witty response. -I agree.
-It makes them happy. -They appreciate the thoughtful response.
-I get it. -Yeah.
It may appear disingenuous, but that's because we're observing from the outside.
-She's a good conversationalist. -I think so.
If someone said, "Nothing fun happened because you weren't around,"
to an inexperienced person, they'd be caught off guard.
-That's true. -But he returned the banter with,
"Perfect answer. Want a reward?" Ryo is suave, too.
-He's experienced. -To him, it's like sparring.
-"Nice punch. I'll counter with this." -Her "top-notch barbecue" reply
-was also solid. -Exactly.
Impressive.
Hana is just the cutest.
-She hid her face! -I know, right?
-Even though she initiated the chat. -Too stinking cute.
That was such a dead giveaway.
-There's no question about it. -I'd think, "Wow, she's so into me."
Also, Ryo doesn't react like
-it's huge news that she's into him. -You're right.
Because he's mature, he's also thinking, "How cute."
He must have some inkling that she likes him.
But he could also be thinking she's simply entertained by him.
Yes, exactly.
He did go, "Did I say something funny?"
He definitely hadn't said anything funny.
He's a cool guy, but I wouldn't say comedy is his forte.
-I like how Ryo carries himself. -Agreed.
-He's a great guy. -We're starting to
get a clearer picture of where everyone's interests are pointing.
-The women revealed lots in their chat. -That was illuminating!
The women are much closer now.
-Emika might be into Ruka. -Who would've guessed that?
Life has been dull for Ruka for some time.
I'd lost hope for him, but this is great.
Putting Ryo's interests aside for a second,
the current stats suggest
-we could have three couples soon. -Based on the arrows we know about.
Ryo is still testing the waters with all three women.
It's too soon to tell.
Ryo's description of himself as a partner
seemed like an answer meant only for Haruka's ears.
Just for her?
-I know what you mean. -Right?
Because he was talking to Haruka, he was like,
-"I'm a giver." -"I like acts of service."
"That's who I would be with you."
-That's what I heard. -Interesting.
Haruka does have beautiful long hair.
He must've thought it was the perfect response for her.
"How would you like it if I brushed your hair, princess?"
-Whoa. -Wow. Impressive.
-He has a wealth of smooth responses. -He has a plethora of moves.
"For Haruka, I'd offer to brush her hair."
Being able to communicate well and connect a pass
-is a hallmark of basketball, after all. -Good point.
-How masterful. -He's good.
-That ringside chat was great. -I thought so, too.
I like how honest Jungle is. She doesn't hold back.
She's the best.
How do you pronounce her name?
It's written as "jungle" plus "screaming woman," correct?
-Kyona. -That's how you say it. Okay.
-Ms. Kyona. -Jungle is my favorite character.
-She's logical. -She gives mature opinions.
"If they can't accept your work, they're not worth your time."
-She speaks the truth. -Exactly.
I have a feeling that Kyona is actually quite shy...
-I could see that. -...in her own love life.
She's awkward around love.
Even though she doles out advice.
She's probably the type that can't even speak
-when her crush is in the vicinity. -I could see that.
-She also hides behind a cushion. -They're the same creature
when it comes to expressing love.
She might get a crush, but then finds out that he already has a girlfriend.
No! How bittersweet.
Her friends would ask, "What'll you do?"
And she'd go, "I don't know what to say."
-Could Jungle Kyona be so innocent? -Yeah.
"Can't you just do what you always tell us to do?"
"I know. I have no problem with giving advice.
Oh, well, let's just have a drink."
-We're starting to see her true form. -What a vivid image.
What time should we leave?
-Good question. -It's in Kiba...
-Not Kiba. Where was it? -Shin-Kiba?
Yes, Shin-Kiba.
-So much luggage. -I knew the guys wouldn't be up.
ANOTHER DAY OF DRAWING -PEPPE OFF TO DAY TWO OF MATCHES -RYO
-Peppe said he'd meet us there. -So, tomorrow...
-I'm off all day. -Yeah?
Text me if you're free.
-Let's hang out. -Yeah, I'd love to.
What about that postponed plan?
-Oh, yeah. -What was the plan?
-To buy pajamas? -Yeah, let's go buy loungewear.
-I haven't decided where to go for that. -Okay.
Yesterday, I was hanging out in Shinjuku
-and I stopped by Gelato Pique. -Did they have cute stuff?
Yeah, their aesthetic is really cute.
People would worry if I wore an outfit that cutesy.
No way.
It'd be so obvious that I was in love.
It's already pretty obvious.
-I'll be on my way now. -See you soon.
I'll see you later.
-Have a safe trip. -Will do. Bye.
See you soon.

Go, Hana!
Hana!
That's nothing.
Those kicks are a joke.
Our Hana is stronger than that.
Our Hana would never be defeated by that.
You better believe it.
Those kicks won't take her down.
There she goes! What?
Boo!
Please stand back.
Please step back from the ring.
You!
Let's go!
Please stay clear of the aisles.
Back up, back up, back up.
Back up, back up, get back...
-Whoa! -That had to hurt.
Did you see that?
-For real? -Oh, my God.
Excuse me, excuse me...
Take this!
Come on. Snap out of it.
Ayumi, over here...
-This is crazy. -Right?
Go! Go! Get her!
-Let's go! -Pay attention!
Do it!
That's right! Finish her!
What?
Really?
Our victor is Azumi!
-Hey, welcome home. Great work. -Thank you.
You must be tired.
-I am. -I figured.
-What did you think of today? -I had so much fun.
-For real? -Yeah.
-I'd love to go again sometime. -Happy to hear that.
Which fighter did you like most?
-From that match? -Who did we like?
I've got to say, I liked you best.
-I had the best time. -I'm so glad you had fun.
-Are you tired? -Yeah.
I am tired.
Have you had dinner?
I had a snack.
Ruka and I will cook for you today.
-What will you make? -What would you like?
We'll take any request.
-I want omurice. -A rice omelette?
Yeah.
Coming right up!
-What else? -I know how to make omurice.
Really?
VISITING MY UNCLE IN OKINAWA -HARUKA
HAVING DINNER WITH FRIENDS -EMIKA
-I'd like to establish a house rule. -What's that?
If you use a plate, you wash the plate immediately afterwards.
-Yes, sir. -Wouldn't that be great?
I'm down.
-It's a good rule, right? -It is.
If the kitchen was clean, I'd cook more often.
When there's clutter,
-I lose all motivation. -I get it.
How's it going?
-Hey, you got it? -Yeah, don't worry.
Wait, really?
Somehow, I have scrambled eggs.
-Ruka, are you serious? -That's too funny.
-That's one way to do it. -It'll taste the same.
Don't you think?
-You're going to fix the shape like that? -Yeah.
Then, when we unwrap it...
-it'll be the perfect shape? -Yeah.
Hey, look!
Aw, so close!
-I got what you were trying to do. -Did you?
Yeah, I knew where you were going with that.
-This is lovely. -Truly.
Thank you so much.
-I'm so happy. -This was tricky. I'll practice more.
-Great job at your match. -Thank you. Bon appétit.
Thanks for making the chicken pilaf.
So good!
-Bon appétit. -Hits the spot.
-Yeah, delicious. -Yummy.
It tastes great.
-Food isn't about appearance. -You're right.
-It's great. Food isn't about appearance. -Yeah.
It's about flavor and heart. Same with humans.
Flavor and heart are what matters in people?
-It's not about appearance. -Flavor and heart, huh?
It's all about the inside, about who you are.
So...
being a professional basketball player means
you're part of the B.League?
Yeah, that's right.
-You're on the roster? -Yeah.
That's crazy. When is your next game?
I have games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
-This coming week. You're busy, no? -This week, huh?
Hold on, the 15th is actually free for me.
They're pre-season games, kind of like test matches.
Like practice matches?
No, it's a bit more official than a practice match.
Fans are allowed to come watch.
-I'd love to go. -Please do.
DAIKANYAMA, TOKYO
What kind of loungewear are you looking for?
Something that's mature-looking yet girly.
Mature and girly? Okay...
-Mature and girly. -Like a negligee?
A negligee would be cute.
-Negligees are cute. -So is this shop.
So cute!
-I've never been here. -Really?
-They have AC. -I feel it, too.
-It's nice and cool. -Hello.
-Look at all these cute things. -So cute.
-These PJs are a classic. -They have negligees, too.
How about this one? This is mature but cute.
Isn't it too sexy?
-Look how deep the V is. -It is pretty sexy.
-You look mature. -Too mature?
Is it weird? It's not my style, is it?
There are too many options.
Which should I choose?
EBISU, TOKYO
GAPAO SHOKUDO
-Wow! This looks so good. -Looks yummy.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
So, how has Terrace House been for you so far?
-I'm having so much fun. -You are?
What about Ryo?
Isn't he hot?
-I think he's hot. -He is, right?
-Don't you think? -I do.
Please tell me if you ever develop a crush on him.
-I might fall for him. You never know. -That's right.
-The three of us may fight over him. -There's no way.
-That won't happen. -You never know.
-Why are you so sure? -Do you like muscle-heads?
I do.
I tend to lose confidence when I have feelings for someone.
When I'm on my own, I'm happy.
But when I have a crush, I start worrying about how wide my shoulders are.
I'm usually proud of how toned I am.
But when I have a crush, I always feel like they'd prefer
someone more feminine, my opposite. It keeps me from acting on my feelings.
For me, I worry that people would prefer someone with bigger boobs.
I could cry.
I feel that way, too.
I wish I had bigger boobs, too.
I have a huge complex about my breasts.
-You're both-- -You should ask Ryo out to dinner.
Mmm... I can't initiate that. I need him to ask me.
Then I'll tell him to ask you out.
Please don't do that, either.
I can't maintain eye contact with him.
-Why? -It's great! Stare back into his eyes.
-I could never! -With your big, smoldering eyes.
-Can we practice? -Sure.
-You be Ryo. -His eyes droop lower at the sides.
That's insulting!
Wait, do it again.
"Hey, Hana...
What should we eat?"
Please stop. You're the best.
It's a good idea. Okay, wait.
When we get home, you'll put on your new pajamas and ask him out.
-What should I say? -Just be like, "Hey, Ryo..."
Um...
Tell him you want to see their room.
-I do want to see it! -Good plan. You'll wear your PJs,
and we'll help you ask him out.
-...the checkered pattern. -Hey, Peppe's home.
-I feel like Grandma Hana. Oh, hey, Peppe! -Hi, Peppe.
-I've never seen you in those PJs. -You noticed? Thanks!
I'm so happy you noticed.
-Those are PJs, right? -Yeah.
-I bought them today. -You just got them.
-They helped me pick them out. -Nice.
-I like your choice. -They're great, aren't they?
Can I see your room?
-It's messy in there. -It is?
Ruka's clothes are everywhere.
-What? That's no good. -They're spread all over the room.
Should I knock and take a look first?
-Would you like to knock? -That's okay.
Hello?
Are you sleeping?
Hana wanted to check out the boys' room.
-You wanna see it? -Just for a second.
-Excuse us. Sorry to bother you. -No, it's fine.
Do you have an early day tomorrow?
Kind of, but it's okay.
-Where's Ruka? -Ruka is...
-He's in the bath? -Yep.
This room is huge.
-So much space. -Look at your PJs.
Look at those.
They're cute.
Thank you.
Were you asleep?
I was trying to fall asleep.
-I'm going to chat with Peppe. -Have fun.
Oh! I have to go, too.
You're still so wet.
-Emika went that way. -What's up?
This room is huge.
-I've never seen the girls' room. -What, really?
-I want to see your room, too. -Should we check it out?
-Can we? -No one's in there right now.
-Is that all right? -Yeah.
I wonder if she'll be able to ask him.
I didn't realize why you were leaving at first.
-Sorry! -She was so nervous.
She's so cute.
She was awkward about going in.
He wants to see the girls' room.
-The girls' room? -Yeah, we're headed there.
-I'm going to show him around. -Is that okay?
I'm going to sleep on Emika's bed and drool everywhere.
-There may be stuff on my bed. -Hold on.
-What's wrong? -Well...
-Don't trouble yourself. Please sit. -It's fine.
-Is it a mess? -I just need to check, hold on.
I can't remember if my undies are randomly strewn about.
-I did laundry today. -Yay, I'm going to find them.
-There might be undies everywhere. -It's possible.
Around the bottom bunk, you say?
Did you ask him out?
-No, I didn't know what to say... -I knew it! You came back so quick.
-Huh? -I don't know how to ask him.
-Just ask him, plain and simple. -I can't.
Why?
I don't know. This might not work. I don't know if I can do it.
-Do you want to go get him? -I don't know. Whichever.
-Should I go get him? -Hold on.
Come in.
-Welcome. -Wow.
-This is just like I imagined. -He can sit there.
This is the Terrace House I had envisioned.
-You can sit there if you'd like. -It's so much cleaner.
-May I? -Please do.
Excuse me.
This is nice.
Thank you for the tour.
He's taking in all the details.
-Thank you so much. -You're leaving so soon?
Can I hang here a bit more?
-Yeah. -Why not?
-Thank you. -Do you want to sleep over tonight?
Want to switch beds?
-Can I have some of this? -Sure. Aren't they tasty?
They're cherry flavored.
I don't know why I'm nervous.
My first episode is coming out.
-Your first one? -Yeah, it was just uploaded.
Are you headed to bed?
-Actually, I might watch it, too. -Yay.
-Great. -Let's watch together.
-Are you going to bed? -Not yet.
I'll likely fall asleep, but I'll join you.
It's cold in here.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Can I feel this?
-Yeah. -Ah, this texture!
It's super soft, right? You should feel hers.
-She let me feel it earlier. -Oh, she did?
Have you two already hung out one-on-one?
-We had lunch the other day. -Yeah.
-I see. -Didn't you go out with Emika, too?
I want a pillow.
I went to a baseball game with Emika.
-Then we ate-- -Baseball? You're a fan?
Emika happened to have tickets to a game, so we went.
-So you've been out with both of them? -Yeah.
Let's hang out.
-Did you see that? -So cute!
-Adorable. -Straight out of a manga.
Terrace House is finally being plastered in the color of love.
We've been waiting for this.
-This is what Terrace House is all about! -Do you get it now?
-Romance has arrived. -We've waited so long!
Hey, does anyone else feel like the air quality has suddenly improved?
-Yes, the air is crisp. -Feels great.
I'm so grateful that the people who were fishing for popularity
and took forever to make moves are gone!
I'm impressed you didn't stutter there.
-Not one stutter. -I hated them so much!
He didn't trip on a single word.
-I'm so grateful. We've been waiting. -What a great scene.
She put out signals, and he picked up immediately that she wanted to hang.
-Amazing instinct. -He knows when to take the lead.
-That's how a grown man acts. -Agreed.
Hana's match was amazing, too.
-That was mind-blowing. -It was so great.
She stomped out her opponent and Haruka couldn't deal.
She quietly slipped out.
She used an innocent old man as a body shield.
The guy seemed happy about that.
To be used by a beautiful lady!
The fight happened to end up
right in front of where the housemates were seated.
She even used a weapon to attack.
She pounded the enemy with a metal pipe.
-In front of her crush. -Right?
-What a great scene. -I loved it.
It was great that she didn't hold back.
And he said she looked super cool.
-So great. -Once she got back home,
she asked her crush, "Which fighter did you like most?"
"I've got to say, I liked you best."
-He's so suave! -Isn't he?
And he asked her what she wanted to eat.
Why did Ruka advertise that he knew how to make omurice,
when clearly that was a lie?
What made him think he could do it?
Also, why did he crack an egg on the countertop?
-That one was a mystery. -I'd like to know as well.
Ryo has lots of experience with women, I assume.
He must know what's going on by now.
He must realize that Hana is into him, and that everyone else is rooting for her.
-Yeah, he knows. -He has to have caught on.
-He's figured it out. -For sure.
In this situation,
wouldn't a playboy act as if he didn't want the attention
that everyone is paying to her crush on him?
Well, Ryo is mature and tactful as well.
So I think he'd acknowledge her interest and try to maintain the friendship.
-I doubt he'd be harsh or avoidant. -I see.
But wouldn't that be more painful for her?
She'd be excited that they were getting closer.
This is just a hunch, but I feel like...
he's not into her...
-Yet. Not yet. -I guess so. You're right.
-Honestly, she just arrived. -It's too soon to tell.
The odds could flip in the last round.
You never know.
You might be right. Wrestlers do have a way of rising back up
-towards the end of the match. -It can happen.
Those are some of the most exciting matches.
Sometimes, a fatal blow lands just when all hope was nearly lost.
-We have to believe in that. -Hana might prove me wrong.
Her PJs were so cute.
-They looked great on her. -They chose a good style.
She went with the checkered pattern.
-Though I love the robe they saw, too. -Agreed.
-That one was pretty sexy. -She was too shy, I guess.
-I have a sweet spot for pajamas. -Do you?
Classic PJs in particular?
Yeah. Don't they look great on girls?
-Yes, PJs are a great look. -They're very cute.
-Do you like that look? -I do, actually.
-What kind in particular? -Well, you know,
-the classic plaid is great. -Yeah, I agree.
-I prefer the negligee. -Really?
-You like negligees? -I do.
-Nice. -And you, Shochan?
-I like fuzzy fabrics. -I get that.
Like they have at Gelato Pique, right?
How did we get stuck on this?
Ruka's out?
Yeah, he's not coming home tonight.
Why isn't he coming home?
-He's hanging out with his friends. -Oh, okay.
-I was nervous for a sec. -You thought he ran away?
-I thought he left the house. -No, it's not that.
-Oh, my God. -You made it home today.
I finished my work on time today.
For real?
I finished seven pages today.
-I worked so hard. -Is that a lot?
-Yeah, that's a ton. -I see.
My usual workload is four to five pages.
Starting next week, I'll have assistants.
-They'll be ready to help out. -I remember you mentioned that.
That should give me some breathing room.
-And I'll be able to be around more. -Sounds rough.
-I've had the toughest time lately. -You must be so sleepy.
I am sleepy, but mainly I just want to finish the piece.
One thing that motivated me
to come to Terrace House
was to get inspiration from my housemates.
Seeing how diligently you've been working has been a great motivation for me.
Thanks for saying that. Likewise.
I feel the same way about you. I'm energized
seeing you go after such a big dream as the Olympics.
Not that I think it's a dream. I know you'll get there.
-Thank you. -I respect that you follow your dreams.
It's stimulating to see that.
I've been named captain of my team.
-You weren't already captain? -Well...
I functioned like one, but it's official now.
-You've been named captain? -It's official.
They announced it at practice today.
I'm going to train so hard.
-Let's do our best. -We got this.
There's no other way.
Also...
you'd know by New Year's, right?
I'm slated to release a standalone manga in February 2020.
So by that time, I want to hear
-that you made the national Olympic team. -Yeah.
-I'm gonna check in with you then. -Got it.
I won't give up, so you can't either.
-I'll do my best. -You have to make it to the Olympics.
I definitely want to see your game, so you'll have to invite me.
-Because you couldn't get tickets? -Exactly.
-Got it. -That would be so crazy...
That'd be great.
What else is up? Been on any dates?
I saw a baseball game with Emika.
-Yeah, I remember. -And I went to lunch
-with Haruka. -Okay.
I haven't been out with Hana yet.
I love the way Hana laughs.
-I get it. She's so bright and bubbly. -Right?
It feels like I'm watching myself.
-Your energies are similar. -Right? I thought so, too.
So it's fun to chat with her.
What's your type?
My type?
Well...
it's Haruka.
You like her looks? Or everything?
I like her face, and she sometimes says funny things.
Like when we talk about Pokémon.
-Pokémon? -You laugh,
but I can be equally as child-like as her sometimes.
I recognize that.
I'm happy that someone else likes childish games like I do.
That makes me happy.
-You share hobbies. -Yeah.
It's rare that a cute lady wants to talk about Pokémon.
That's true. It doesn't happen much.
Will you go on more dates?
I want to. I was planning to ask her out this week,
but work has been hell and I haven't had time to.
I'm going to try my best to make time for a date next week.
Do you know the make...
-That's a car, right? -Haruka's car.
I've been wanting to ride in it.
-So I was gonna-- -Ask her to drive you around?
-Yeah. That's my plan. -Nice.
Every day, I work on my manga
and look forward to having time to spend with her.
If I work hard, going on a date will be my reward.
When did you last have a day off?
When I played Pokémon GO with Haruka. Our last date.
-I played Pokémon GO all day-- -So, you work day in and day out
so that you can go on a date with Haruka.
-That keeps you going? -You could say that.
-That's where I'm at. -That's a great motivator.
