Terrace House: Boys x Girls Next Door

-Good evening. -Good evening.

In this show...

six strangers live together under one roof.

All the show provides...

is a nice house and nice cars.

As always, there is no script.

No, there isn't.

So, last week, two housemates have departed from Terrace House.

Ippei-chan and Frankie.

They left while looking to their bright futures.

And then...

in their place, a super high-quality girl comes in.

-Hi, nice to meet you. -Sorry for interrupting you.

That face of Tetsu's that we haven't seen in so long.

That face of, "Wow, I think I'm in love."

Once a girl that cute suddenly comes into the house,

are the guys like Kenken able to sit still?

-Is that so? -Oh man, the way this is going...

That's probably the case. That's worrying.

Any way you say it, he's a guy after all.

Oh, by the way, even the trendy drama...

I sense is still not going to end from here on out.

It's become like, "Bring it on more."

I don't know. If it were me, if he likes me,

even if a bunch of trouble comes about,

I think it'll work out.

"Bring it on more!"

That's the sense that I'm getting out of him, at least.

Definitely!

So that means she's not backing out at all.

-"Bring it on!" -Wow, that's awesome.

This is so annoying, though.

You always think that, though.

I'm so done with all this.

"I'm so done with all this."

-Wow, things are really moving. -Today, the new guy will...

-Right! -...possibly move in, too.

Quite possibly, yeah.

-Ah, nice to meet you. -Ah, what should I do?

I'm Tetsuya Sugaya.

-Nice to meet you. -Looking forward to living with you.

Likewise.

I'm Ryoko Hirasawa.

Looking forward to it. Nice to meet you.

-I'm Seina Shumabukuro. Nice to meet you. -Likewise.

Sorry about my voice. It sounds so stupid.

-She caught a cold. -I caught a cold.

Oh, really? Are you all right?

I'm all right, please excuse me.

What a surprise.

-You're such a beauty. -Not at all!

-Should I introduce myself? -Yes.

My name is Michiko Yamanaka.

-Looking forward to living here. -Looking forward to it.

This is like an interview.

With us three sitting on this side.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a designer.

I see.

I design bikinis and beach wear.

-Wow, that's so awesome. -No, not at all.

So more or less, I'm working on my own brand.

Wow, so awesome!

-What's the name of your brand? -It's called Alexia Stam.

I see, I see.

-Would you like something to drink? -Yes, please.

What do we have?

The kitchen is so adorable.

-Sorry. -You shouldn't look at it.

-Why not? -We're right in the middle of cleaning it up.

Sorry about that. Sorry.

So you don't really drink all that much?

After one glass, I turn bright red.

-Oh, really? -That's adorable.

How old are you?

I wanted to ask that.

You wanna know?

Well, I think she's younger than me.

I'm 28.

Wow.

Oh, yeah. Where are you from?

I'm from Tokyo. From Ueno.

-In the low-key part of town. -Ah, yeah, that's right.

So... boyfrie--

-Can I ask her? -Go ahead. Ask whatever.

It's okay to ask.

Do you have a boyfriend right now?

I do... not have a boyfriend.

-You don't?! -I do not.

Thought you'd have one.

-Time to get excited. -Yeah.

-Since she said she doesn't have one. -Oh, the guys?

-Yeah, the guys. -Oh, really?

"Oh, really?"

I guess it's hard, though.

Balancing out work and love life.

Well, it depends on how much you like the person, right?

Yeah.

Definitely.

If you wanna see the person, you will, even if you're busy.

The girls' room...

Maybe you should show her?

Yeah, I wanna see it.

Oh man, it's not tidied up.

It's bad.

-I haven't really got to wear a swimsuit. -I'm home.

Welcome back!

He's finally back! Good work.

Good work!

This for me?

No, it's not yours.

So, the new housemate's here.

What? Seriously?

Yeah.

Oh!

And... it's a girl.

-A girl? -Yeah.

I see.

She's super pretty.

-Really? -Yeah.

More than you, Seina-san?

Uh... maybe.

-Oh! -You're smirking.

My face was already like this.

Oh, really now?

-Ah, nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Should I stand?

No, you're fine. Why're you looking at me? Go ahead.

-Nice to meet you. -Likewise.

I'm Kenya Yasuda.

I'm Michiko Yamanaka. Looking forward to living here.

Likewise.

-Have a seat. -Thanks.

It's starting to feel strange.

Right?

-When did you arrive? -Not too long ago.

Oh, not long ago? I see.

Don't be so stiff. "When did you arrive?"

"When did you arrive?" Such formality...

-Tetsu! -So formal!

Michi-san, why did you...

decide you want to live at Terrace House?

So, since I'm making bikinis...

-So, I'm a bikini designer. -Right.

So, since I was born in Tokyo, and raised in the quieter part of town,

I've only ever lived in the city.

So I've only ever designed things distinctive of me.

But, if I lived by the sea, I figured I'd get inspiration,

and maybe design something different.

-That's what I've been thinking. -I see.

-So that's why I came here. -I see.

So how long have you not had a boyfriend?

We totally cut things off... a year ago?

So it's been a whole year.

Wait, how long has everyone been single here?

Moreso than you, I think I've been single the longest.

-Really, is that so? -It's been that long.

Have you ever been the one who got dumped or anything?

Once, when I was a student.

I see.

So basically, you've never been dumped while here, then?

Oh wait, I totally forgot! I was dumped once.

Yeah, you can call that time a rejection.

Huh?

-That's right, that's right! -Wait, when?

Right, I was rejected by a surfer who lives not too far from here.

That time, he rejected you?

Yeah, he did.

About a year ago -- was it exactly a year ago? -- I was rejected.

Since then, we've had some squabbles. And I guess I was the one to put space between us.

-Alright, guess I'll clean up. -Okay.

I'll clean up.

-Okay, see you later. -Bye.

-See you later. -Good night.

-Good night, guys. -Night.

Good night.

-Ah, should I be heading to bed, too? -No, no, not thinking that at all.

Oh, I was thinking that...

Ryo-chan, what do you think?

-Huh, I'm scared, what? -Think you can get along with her?

I don't know.

So, up until now, whenever there's three of us girls,

when we're walking down a path, it's always like, two and one.

That tends to happen more often than not.

And since both of them are closer in age, and they're both similarly positive,

if those two get closer,

I kinda wonder if I'll end up getting left out.

I don't think so.

I worry about that.

Man...

Man...

-She's here. -She is.

-The new housemate. -But, you know...
