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.

Let's see. Last week's episode was very eventful.

Let's review. First off, Ruka offered to give Haruka a ride across town.

It was perfect, Ruka arriving to pick up an actress in a sleek ride.

However, Ruka was thrown off by his nerves and couldn't manage to ask her out.

Who knows if it's true that he's awkward with women?

-Good point. -He could be tricking us,

or maybe he's not. We'll see.

It's the truth.

I see.

This is the shop I go to.

-Wow. -Impressive, right? We should go.

That's what the shop looks like? I wanna go.

But Risako passed by at that exact moment, just as she was heading upstairs.

It's evident that Risako has feelings for Ruka.

Will you teach me how to skateboard?

I'm not good enough to teach.

-But I want to try. -Yeah, teach me.

"I'm not good enough to teach, but I want to try."

Wait, how is he awkward with women?

-That was so hot. So cool. -It was perfect.

How can he claim to be awkward with women?

And then...

-After that-- -No one's listening to me.

Then we have Kenji and Haruka's date.

They saw Haruka's friend's show

-and then went out to dinner. -Oh, that's right.

I'm never sure what to say to him. There aren't any meaty topics.

I see. Pooh Bear is not a great conversationalist.

He's not boring per se, but...

-He totally bores her. -What could it be?

-The thing about him-- -He's not great with words.

Exactly.

If you look back, there are quite a few awkward conversations with him.

Please review the previous episodes on Netflix.

-Really? -We have to re-watch?

The awkwardness was palpable when he brought the egg-boiling machine.

Do you have too much free time?

You're a regular on a bunch of shows, aren't you?

-He works a lot. -You still have time to binge on TV?

-I watch a lot of TV. -When? In the evening?

Yeah. Or in the morning, when I wake up too early.

You wake up early to binge-watch Terrace House?

-How cute. -It's super fun.

I watch it at home, too.

We've had many incidents so far.

-That's true. -It's a lot for four episodes.

Remember the scene with the earrings?

-That was sensual! -Risako asked Ruka to reopen her piercing.

At the end of the episode, whoever won the final round of Speed

would be granted a wish that would last forever.

Can you be...

my buddy forever?

-I accept. Yes. -Promise?

"I accept. Yes."

Aren't you sleepy?

I'm pretty sleepy.

Be my boyfriend.

What? What did you say?

I don't know. I'm just sleepy and mumbling things.

That exchange!

That exchange was perfect.

Yes, but I'm still unclear on whether she was talking about dating or...

-Or being friends for life? -Right.

-That's not it. -It's obvious!

-The implication is clear. -She wants romance.

Haruka is turning out to be very cool and collected...

or should I say "rough around the edges"?

I'm not here with the sole intention of revealing the housemates' dark sides.

But the housemates do individual interviews that are streamed on YouTube...

-I saw those! -You did? Weren't they gruesome?

-They were scary. -Wait? What was?

We can't ignore it.

-Tell them, Torichan. -What did Haruka say?

-The girl has a very nasty habit. -Huh?

Haruka was talking about her past dating experiences.

At one point, she said, "I have this bad habit

of becoming intrigued by what other people have."

-Oh, no! -Oh, dear.

She covets what other people have.

Let's consider the facts for a moment.

When Kaori and Kenji were bonding with each other over illustrating,

-Haruka asked Kenny to teach her guitar. -She did.

And then, when Ruka and Risako were getting closer,

she started swooping in on Ruka.

Keep in mind as we continue to watch

that Haruka may be a conniving thief preparing to ruin love for everyone else.

And now, it's showtime.

Quite the storyteller, huh?

Are you still free on the sixth?

Are you planning on going to Kenny's live show?

-I found out I have work. -Oh, you do?

-I think I can make it. -You can?

But according to Kenny...

he doesn't like love interests seeing him perform.

-But why? -What's the reason?

"Think of it this way.

If I lost my right hand and couldn't play music anymore--"

Your impression!

"Would it be Kenny from SPiCYSOL that she loved, or Kenny the person?"

That's what he said.

-He does... say that sort of thing. -Is he here right now?

-He's right there. -So you've noticed, too.

-Yep, I've heard him say that stuff. -So he won't play offstage.

"I want her to see me for myself."

-Hey, Ruka. -Yes?

What are you up to on the third?

-The third? -Yeah.

-I'm working that day. -You are?

-Aw, man. -The third...

I'm working on the third. Although...

-You're working? -I'm off the first and second.

I have a race that day. They'll be racing motorcycles, too.

-I wanted to see that! -Yeah.

I thought it'd be a great one for you to see.

Ah, too bad.

I'll invite you out again.

-To the next event. -Please do.

When's the next one?

-The next one? -That was fast!

It won't be till August.

-That's so far away. -Got excited too soon.

So far from now.

I hope Shohei makes it home before the Heisei era ends.

-Right? -58 minutes left.

Whoa, look at that. There's Reiwa themed beer!

Pretty cool, right?

There's Reiwa themed beer?

-Yeah... -That's impressive, Reiwa.

-Wow. -Did you see that?

-It's a Reiwa party theme. -Whoa!

THANK YOU, HEISEI

-Beautiful. -It's so good!

Right? Isn't it?

AND HELLO REIWA

Writing "Looking forward to..." didn't seem fitting,

since Reiwa is already here.

Who remembers our plans for tomorrow?

-What are you doing? -You mean our trip?

To the sports center?

We were planning on going tomorrow, right? But now it's supposed to rain tomorrow.

What would you like to do instead?

-Right, the sports center... -Yeah.

Should we go on a road trip?

Sure.

-He's here. -There he is!

-Welcome home. -You made it!

Just in time.

Let's toast.

-Yeah, let's make a toast. -Is that too formal?

Well, I guess it's fine.

Heisei...

was a mixture of good and bad.

Let's strive to do our best as we move forward.

Yes.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

-A toast to Reiwa. -To Reiwa.

REIWA

Nice.

-Delicious! -It's sweet.

It's good. I like the sweetness.

Fifteen seconds left.

-Whoa! -It's nearly here.

I'm excited.

-I feel like I should float. -We're close now.

-Here it comes! -Eight...

Five, four...

-I should sit up. -...three, two, one.

Happy New Era!

What was that?

-I thought you might flip. -No flip this time.

-Goodbye, Heisei. -Yep.

Heisei is over.

-Happy New Era. -Happy New Era.

Hey, so during or after Golden Week,

-shall we go to Chawari? -I want to.

-Let's go. -Yay.

The day we go to Chawari...

I need to write an article for this travel column.

The piece is supposed to feature some cool spot in Tokyo.

-Okay! Around Ginza? -Yeah, Ginza.

Would you like to join me before we head to Chawari?

-We can start in the daytime. -That sounds great.

Where should we go tomorrow?

-Good question. -It's the first day of Reiwa.

-For the first day-- -That's an important day!

True.

You'll remember that day forever.

I do have parkour practice that night.

-What time? -Wow.

-She's relentless. -7:00 p.m.

When do you sleep?

-You should get more sleep. -Could you drop me off?

-When do you sleep? -That sounds nice.

Could you take me there?

Where is it?
