Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020 (テラスハウス Tokyo 2019-2020)

-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.

-So last week... -Chaos ensued.

-So many things happened. -Right.

First off, it turns out that Kaori is interested in Shohei.

-That's right. Very unexpected. -Exactly.

-I'm pretty interested in Shohei. -Oh, really?

-Maybe I mean... -You want to get to know him better?

Exactly.

-The bigger surprise came after that. -Without warning.

-So shocking. -Haruka and Risako

are both romantically interested in Kenny now.

-It came out of nowhere. -So sudden.

I thought Kenny would remain unpopular because they thought he was boring.

I feel the most comfortable with him when it comes to discussing my future.

Since I hadn't talked to him much before,

I'm enjoying getting to know him now.

Ideally, everything would move along peacefully.

-Of course it won't. -First off...

Risako seized the moment while Haruka stepped away from the dining room

to ask Kenny on a lunch date.

Kenny, when would you like to go out for lunch?

I remember you saying, "Let's be cafe buddies."

We should hit up a cafe.

Then Haruka said that she felt awkward asking out Kenny with Risako around.

That's right.

So it would be easier for you to ask him out

-if Risako wasn't around? -That might be the case.

-The two them then went up to the roof. -That horror scene.

Risako, will you come grab drinks with me?

-Sure. -Thank you.

-What are you drinking? -What would you like?

Water, please.

-That choice was questionable. -It wasn't a good look.

Oh, girls...

By the way, are you still going to the show on the 20th?

-I want to go, yeah. -You do?

Okay, let's go.

That scene was straight from a rom-com.

-Agreed. -Yes.

Hey, we should go to this cafe!

-Oh, yeah? -Take me here!

We can get lunch somewhere

-and then go for coffee there. -It's a date.

Ruka just stood there mouth agape.

He was blinking anxiously, like this.

I think I saw some ectoplasm leaking from his face.

-Did you now? -Yeah, like a white cloud.

In the end, the three in the love triangle were left on the roof.

The relationships are starting to crack.

The tag team between Kaori and Haruka is...

-So obvious. -They're a bit cliquey.

I feel bad for Risako...

Ooh, I love how things are falling apart.

It's rare for all three girls in the house to get along.

-Yes, that seems difficult age-wise. -It's quite a challenge.

I can't wait to see cracks in their relationships.

-You've found your prey? -Absolutely.

I want to pour sake into the cracks and drink it.

-A crack shot. -Yes, a crack shot.

-Never heard of it. -This drink will knock you out.

Haven't you heard?

I'm heading to bed.

-Yeah. -It's late isn't it?

-Hmm? -Isn't it late?

-I don't know. I've lost track. -It's about 2:00 a.m.

-It's past my bedtime. Good night. -You're right. Good night.

Are you headed to bed?

-I can stay up for a while. -Me, too.

So...

Does Haruka...

have someone she's into?

From my point of view,

she's been keen on Ruka ever since we met.

She says he's cute.

-She's the hardest to read. -Yeah?

I wonder what she's thinking. Maybe she doesn't even like anyone.

According to our conversation from the other day,

it seems like she does have feelings here and there.

Okay, I see.

It's not really my place to divulge

-who she's expressed interest in. -Yeah, I get it.

She has a tendency to become interested in people I'm friendly with

or people I express interest in.

-Our interests overlap a lot. -I see.

I think our tastes are actually quite similar.

You've hung out the most with her, haven't you?

Me? You're asking me?

-Have you hung out with Kaori? -I have.

No way! Oh, yeah, you went T-shirt shopping.

We checked out T-shirts and had lunch afterwards.

-Oh, really? -Yeah.

-I haven't gone anywhere with you. -Right?

-I'm sad-- -But Haruka...

I only went to that concert with her once.

After that, we had dinner.

-And guitar lessons. -But...

-Oh, yeah. -What did you think about that?

-Our guitar lessons? -No.

About going to the show together?

It was only our second week in the house when I hung out with her.

We went on that date without having spoken to each other at all, pretty much.

At that point, my impression was...

that she's very true to herself.

I tend to want to lead in a relationship, as well,

but she marches to the beat of her own drum.

She has her ways and so do I.

Kind of like how I have my favorite coffee and she has hers.

So I thought we would clash.

But living together here,

I get to see everyone's charm from up close...

With you and with Kaori, as well.

So...

That feeling that I felt...

during the date, that Haruka and I might not mesh,

has dissipated.

KAORI WATANABE, 28 ILLUSTRATOR

SHOHEI MATSUZAKI, 25 ACTOR

HARUKA OKUYAMA, 24 ACTRESS

KENJI YOSHIHARA, 31 MUSICIAN

RISAKO TANABE, 21 FITNESS TRAINER

RUKA NISHINOIRI, 20 PART-TIME RETAIL EMPLOYEE

Tell me when to stop.

Go with your gut.

-Like this? -Hmm?

-Great amount. -Really?

Are you sure?

Kenny, are you still free on the 20th?

What's that?

Sorry, I didn't hear you.

Are you free for the show on the 20th?

-The 20th? -Yeah.

-I'm free. -Awesome.

I looked up the lineup for that day, and my friend will be in that show, too.

-The same-- -The one from last time, right?

Yeah, from Zaimokuza.

-Want to catch that show, too? -Sure.

And I want to see the ukulele performance, too.

-Nice. -What time does your friend go on?

-I'll ask them. -Okay.

If it ends late, would you want to come straight home?

No, I wanted to visit the Okinawan restaurant afterwards.

-Okinawan restaurant? -Yeah, in Komazawa.

Do you want to go? I mean, together.

I'd like that. Sounds good.

Yeah, plus it's close to Daikanyama.

It's rare that you're up this late.

Yeah...

-It's already 12:30 a.m. -I'll head to bed soon.

Do either of you have a phone charger?

-I do, upstairs. -Upstairs?

-Can I borrow it later? Sorry to bother. -Yeah.

What are you drinking?

A detox juice.

I'm living off of five of these today.

We need to figure out where to go for lunch.

Let's do that.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

-In Harajuku? -Let's see, Harajuku...

Between Harajuku and where? There and Gaienmae?

-Um, it was... Sendagaya? -Sendagaya.

-Between there. -You have an errand there?

We both haven't...

bought anything for Mother's Day.

So, we're heading out to find some presents.

We also want to visit this great cafe, but they don't serve food.

I see...

We're looking for a place to eat beforehand.

-Okay. -I'm going to sleep.

That looks good.

-Headed to bed? -Yeah.

-Good night. -Good night.

Good night.

Have you come across any things that...

you're annoyed or disappointed by?

Any disappointments?

-There are quite a few. -There are?

You don't express that very often. What is it?

-About you? -Me or...

Whoever.

Nothing very specific... I think, but...

I haven't been irritated by anyone.

If anything, I'd like to be better friends.

It feel like there's a distance between us.

You think so?

You're often in the guys' room. You hang out with the guys more often.

Plus, we're awake at different times, so we miss each other.

I wish we had more time together.

-I see. -I want us to chat more often.

I get it.

-I might head to bed, too. -Okay.

-It's bedtime. -Okay.

-Good night. -Good night.

-Catch you soon. -Good night.

They're chatting a lot.

She was probably talking about this.

It sounds like they'd like you to be a part of that, too.
