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

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

-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.

The housemates are warming up to each other rather quickly.

-Indeed. -It appears so.

Some reputations are already on the line.

-Already! -So early in the game.

-So fast. -Impressively fast.

Thank you for the delicious meal, Shohei!

Shohei!

-You said it. -First off,

Kenny and Kaori discussed their shared passion for drawing.

That's right.

The two got a chance to bond over that. Meanwhile...

Haruka and her strong will!

-Could you teach me the guitar? -Guitar?

Any time.

I've noticed I can't play F because my pinky is short.

-They hung out on the sofa together. -They did.

He gave her a little lesson.

Then Haruka invited him to come along to her friend's concert.

Are you busy during the day?

During the day? I don't think so.

-Shall we grab food beforehand? -Yes, let's get food.

Then we heard Shohei's controversial remarks.

Does everyone remember the Tempura Incident?

That conversation at the dinner table.

Professor Shohei has some questionable philosophies on work ethic.

People with that mentality are gonna die off soon, anyway.

What?

People with that archaic mindset will grow old and die off.

-Those who value one profession? -Yeah. That's what I think.

It's naïve to think that you'll become an expert

just because you stick to one thing.

You become an expert at something by not giving it up.

I love tempura, but it wouldn't taste good if I had it every day.

He doesn't have the track record to back up those opinions.

It's not quite right.

It's a great opportunity to introduce our global audience to tempura.

It was a useful metaphor in that respect.

Hopefully, Netflix viewers now have a better understanding of tempura.

-Samurai and tempura. -Right. Those two never get old.

First, there was the Guilty Samurai, and now it's tempura.

-Exactly. -All that's left is Mount Fuji.

The three pillars of Japanese culture.

Then we have Ruka and Risako.

Is there no end to Ruka's bashfulness?

-What about Detective Conan? -Wait, what? Not so much.

I'm not interested, but I'll try it.

Yay.

Ruka is so handsome.

He is, but all he talks about is being shy and blushing when he talks to girls.

-But he's only 20. -I'll tolerate it until week 4.

Not past week 4?

What happens when a person who blushes doesn't blush when hanging out with you?

-Isn't that scary? -A genuine actor.

That's the worst-case scenario.

I hope he finds some courage.

Just because he blushes doesn't mean he has no libido.

-That's right. -I bet his libido is raging.

-That's why he blushes, don't you think? -Yeah.

No one else was thinking that.

I'm just saying, we keep talking about his charm and innocence,

-but don't be fooled. -That's right.

-Morning. -Good morning.

Is everyone gone already?

-No, they're still sleeping. -Oh, they're asleep.

OFF TO PLAY GOLF! - HARUKA

-We're seeing a movie today, right? -Yeah.

HEADED TO THE STUDIO EARLY - KAORI

-We'll want lunch, right? -Yeah.

What would you like to eat?

I'm craving pancakes.

-Pancakes? -Yeah.

-Okay. -Yeah?

I love pancakes.

-Where can we get pancakes? -I know a place.

You do, huh?

FUTAKO-SHINCHI, KANAGAWA

Here we are.

We made it!

-I'm hungry. -Me, too. I can't wait!

Agreed.

-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.

-This is good. -Is it?

-Is it sweet? -It's yummy.

-But is it sweet? -It's tasty.

Is it sweet, though?

-It's not very sweet. -Oh, it's not?

How's yours?

-It's good? -Yeah.

I wonder what they're made of.

This is the plain one, right?

Oh, no, it's not the plain one. I was wrong.

It's the Dutch Baby.

What's so funny?

Do you think "plain" is an ingredient?

Like flour? Is that what you're thinking?

Well, it says "plain" right here.

Is that not right?

"Plain" just means it's the basic flavor.

-Basic flavor? -Yeah, the normal version.

Meaning there's no additional flavors?

Correct.

-Do you get it? -Yeah, I got it.

Have you had the chance to chat with everyone?

-When? -In general, till now.

-I haven't spoken much with Haruka. -I see.

Your face turns red when you talk to girls, right?

Yeah.

Why is your face not red now, then?

-Is it not? -Nope.

I'm not exactly sure why.

I think I have the easiest time talking to you.

Is it because I'm the least feminine?

I'm feeling this crazy urge to skateboard.

Let's do it. Although, there isn't really a place nearby to skate

where the neighbors wouldn't complain.

-You think? -Yeah.

What about a park?

-A park would work. -For real?

-Shall we find one close by? -Yeah.

-So... -Yeah?

This is what my process is like.

-Hold on. -Wow, look at that.

First, I create the outlines.

-Cool. -These are all hand-drawn.

-With pen and paper. -Oh, you scan it?

-Yeah. -You scan it.

Can I ask about your brushes?

-Or is it your trade secret? -Not at all.

-From the brush tool... -Cool.

-Hold on. -You trace it with that?

-Correct. -Oh, wow!

I haven't had the money to buy a tablet pen.

You should get one! It would increase your productivity a ton.

You have one?

I do.

-For real? Of course you do. -You want to try it sometime?

-Yes, please. -Be my guest.

-That'd be great. -This is cool.

Although, no one is ever this sexy while eating a hamburger.

Hey, I like how it looks without the outlines, too.

-You do? -Yeah.

-I noticed that, too. -It looks really cool.

I'm envious of how good this looks. Especially this version

-without the outlines. -Thank you.

We made a new discovery...

-It's really great. -...thanks to you.

Do you plan to make some merch with these images?

Or are you just gonna upload them online?

Actually, I would like to have them printed on shirts and other products.

That'd be great. I wanna have some pieces for sale during my show in June.

-Are you gonna print T-shirts? -I print T-shirts every year, yeah.

You do a show every year?

Yeah. I started working independently in June, so...

-It's your anniversary celebration show? -It is.

-That's great. -Yeah. This year will be the third.

One day, I want to host a show in a gallery.

I have a coffee shop that displays my stuff for now,

but I'd love to have a big show at a gallery.

Let's collaborate on some projects soon.

-Please teach me your ways. -Definitely.

We'll check out some T-shirts models soon.

-Good idea. -Let's pick out some to print on.

Sounds great.

Is it cool if I prep the lu rou fan while you cook that?

-Go for it. -That's not finished yet?

-This isn't lu rou fan. -What is it?

This is ji rou fan.

-What's the difference? -One is chicken and the other is pork.

How was your audition today?

It wasn't bad.

-You think you got it? -I'm not sure.

When will you know?

I rarely find out on the same day.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

-Welcome home. -We're back.

Welcome home.

-What's that? -Something smells great.

-What are you carrying? -So many yummy smells.

-We bought a ton of stuff. -It smells so good.

-There's a gift for you, Kenny. -For me?

-Here. -What is it?

We have gifts for everyone.

-What? -A takoyaki maker!

-Yay. -That's great.

Conan was better than I anticipated.

-Oh, right, you saw that. -We didn't even have to ask.

Although, I did fall asleep for about 20 minutes.

You did fall asleep.

But I enjoyed it in the end.

-Really? -Yeah.

-You liked the story? -Shall I chop the onion?

If you're offering, sure.

And then Ruka...

-No one wants to hear about it. -I'm listening!
