"Good evening." "Good evening." "Terrace House is a show about six strangers, men and women, 6 STRANGERS, MEN AND WOMEN, SHARE A HOUSE living together, and we observe how they interact with each other." "All that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobile." "There is no script at all." "Yes." "Last week..." "The good-looking guy came." "Misaki and..." "They seemed to be hitting it off in Sangen-jaya, being the same age and all." "He's tending to Misaki's broken heart." "He says all the right things." "I want someone who can accept me as I am." "There's no need for you to change at all." "The reason I was rejected..." "He told me I had no core self." "You totally have a core self!" "They made plans for the next date." "They did." "Byrnes promised to take her on a date to Hakone once he gets his license." "Also, it's an important moment in Momoka's life." "Whether you can become a pro or not depends on how serious you can devote yourself to ballet." "If you don't have that kind of mindset," "I don't think you'll be able to become a professional ballet dancer." "So do you have a goal for this competition?" "I need to make the top three." "Out of how many?" "I think 150?" "So her date with Arman was postponed." "That's right." ""Oh, really?" in his monotone voice." ""Yes, good luck" in his monotone voice." "And Rikopin..." "Hayato's haunting her." "He's not haunting her." "They went to the Cupnoodles Museum." "They did, but their conversation..." "I don't want a date in yukatas." "Only for relationships?" "If I'm not in a relationship with someone, I wouldn't hold hands with him." "You'd have to be in a relationship?" "I wouldn't hold hands otherwise." "That was the moment she built a wall." "It was cold of her." "Rikopin just expressed her idea of a relationship." "No, that's just her way of building a wall." "People who've got game don't understand." "You think so?" "I know." "Girls do stuff like this." "Are you naked from the waist down?" "My pants are pink!" "Sorry, I got nervous for a second." "Me too." "I thought maybe you forgot your pants." "If that's the case, you could've mentioned it before." "Torichan, it won't help if you squint." "So true!" "Torichan!" "He does look pants-less." "Don't turn around!" "Torichan!" "So we don't really know how she feels." "But when Rikopin came home," "didn't she say she had fun?" "She did." "I realize I like hanging out with him." "Oh, good." "He takes the lead." "He gets excited with me about stuff." "Girls wouldn't say stuff like that if they were interested." "I wonder..." "But yeah, maybe." "So to Rikopin, you're a friend." "Probably." "But Hayato thinks he was shut down?" "That's right." "I don't get why." "That's true." "Why not?" "She said she could go on that date even if she didn't like the person." "She said that to him while they were there." "So next time, they could wear yukatas" "What?" "Next time?" "After what she said?" "Aren't you being a little too negative?" "Aren't you being a little too positive?" "But it's five against one." "I hate majority rule!" "If we went by majority on this show, my opinion would never count!" "I talked to Hayato yesterday." "You did?" "Yeah." "Can I ask about what?" "Totally." "In fact, it's better if you ask." "Really?" "Yeah." "Hayato thinks that... you're trying to push him away." "Like, you don't want to hold hands with him." "Things like that." "Because if someone you like said something like that to you, then you might think that maybe they're not interested." "Yeah..." "Yes." "So that's why he was acting that way." "I see." "You guys both like each other." "But if you put your feelings on hold, what could happen won't happen." "It's been two years." "I've forgotten what dating's like." "Feels like I'm starting all over again when it comes to dating." "Anyway, he thinks you're rejecting him." "I see." "Yeah." "I see." "GAKUGEI UNIVERSITY, TOKYO" "Are you gonna be in a competition?" "A showcase, for an event." "Am I good enough to solo at the showcase?" "Solos are pretty difficult." "It's my first time."

"It was busy." "Welcome back." "What's wrong?" "Um..." "You... were so quiet the other day." "It's been bothering me." "When we talked about relationships, you said you wouldn't hold hands if you weren't in one, and there are places you wouldn't go to." "You drew a clear line." "I think that's what's great about you." "But the way you said it..." "I felt shut down." "At least that's how I felt." "It made me wonder what the point was." "I see." "So did that make you consider... not going on dates with me anymore?" "It's fun, but..." "Our..." "I'm not sure anymore." "What I said is how I really feel." "But the way I said it..." "The way you said..." "No!" "I meant I didn't communicate it well, and maybe I gave you the wrong idea." "I wouldn't talk about stuff like that with just anyone." "But maybe I gave you the idea that I wasn't interested in you." "I hope not." "Because it's not true." "Okay." "Has that been bothering you?" "I'm sorry..." "Stop." "It's hard to..." "I mean..." "I didn't think I was that quiet." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to make you feel bad." "No, it wasn't like that." "I realized that I made you feel bad." "But we do view relationships differently." "Yeah." "But that's fine." "I think that you should be you." "Always."

"How about a starter and then some pasta?" "Yeah, sounds great." "Okay, I'll go make it." "We leave it to you." "Got it." "Here's the starter." "Bon appétit." "Looks delicious!" "It's great." "You're going on another date with Misaki?" "Yeah, so I've gotta get my license on the first try." "Yeah, if you fail..." "It'd be bad." "Yeah, embarrassing." "She'd be my first passenger." "Yeah." "Until then... it'd be nice to know where things stand." "Why don't you just tell her how you feel?" "I think it's too soon for that." "I think there's a 99% chance she'd say yes." "What if I get rejected?" "Just say something." "Thanks for waiting." "Here's the ragù sauce." "This is young sardine, roe and zucchini." "It looks amazing." "This is different from the norm." "So good!" "It's super good." "It's so good!" "I heard you guys talking about Misaki." "All he talks about is Misaki." "Oh, her birthday is next week!" "Yeah, it is." "Why don't you plan something?" "When is it?" "The 25th." "Oh, but she said she won't be here." "Is that the day of the ballet?" "Is it the 25th?" "Then let's do something either before or after." "Maybe we can plan something together?" "Sure, we'll say you put it together." "You take the lead." "Nice." "She'll be happy." "Yeah, I'll do it." "How are things going for you, Hayato?" "Things with Riko..." "are at a standstill." "Holding steady?" "But are you thinking of going out with her again?" "Or are you" "Even if we did, I wouldn't be sure whether I can take things further." "That's true." "You couldn't even hold hands." "It'd be like a school field trip again." "A field trip?" "She didn't ask you out after she apologized?" "No, she didn't." "I see." "I wonder what she's thinking." "I really don't know." "I think you should just clearly say it." "Expect us to move 10% as fast as you two." "You guys are moving pretty quick." "So really, Rikopin didn't shut him down." "No." "Or she didn't mean to." "But Hayato thought she did, which explains what happened." "So she communicated that she's interested." "She did." "Right?" "There's no need for him to be uncertain." "Yeah, why does he feel that way?" "I mean, Riko expressed her feelings as best she could." "Yes, to the point where it could be taken as," ""I'm interested." "Please ask me out again."" "That's how she meant it, right?" "Yes." "Riko's being harsh." "If she's gonna reject him, she should just do it." "But she likes him, doesn't she?" "No way!" "Isn't Hayato the one being harsh?" "Why?" "If we're talking harsh..." "I mean, he brought it to the point where she had to say all that..." "and he still doesn't get it." "Yeah." "It's Hayato's turn right now." "Right." "The ball's in his court." "It is." "And yet he's like..." ""I don't know how she feels..."" "So since she said she didn't want to hold hands yet, he's afraid that if he asked her out, she'd say something like that again?" "He should just hold her hand anyway." "That's right." "Oh, but he wouldn't want his hand flung off." "Oh, like what happened to Tetsu long ago." "Yes, Tetsu and Rie Kitano." "I watched it over and over." "It's hard to say with these two until they go on another date." "That's true." "Yeah." "On the flipside, there's no stopping Byrnes and Misaki." "It's so nice." "Yeah, it's so great." "When I was about 30, I forced my guy to do quizzes with me." "So you can relive the experience?" "Yes, to experience that moment." "Do you understand?" "Like, "I don't get this." "Me neither."" "That exchange." ""That's not right." "Yes, it is!"" ""Let's check the answer."" ""See!" "I told you."" ""What?" "That can't be right."" "Seems like so much fun." "I can do that for hours." "I'm gonna have to check out Amazon." "Please do." "Workbooks are gonna sell like crazy." "What did you think of Byrnes' dancing?" "It was wonderful." "That shirt along with the striped sweatpants, and his socks with the red shoes?" "Only he could pull that off." "That crazy combination?" "Yeah, maybe just him and Kentaro." "You couldn't, right?" "Yeah." "But there was a time I dressed like that." "Looking back, I'm embarrassed." "Off to Mito for a tour" "Misaki One day until the competition." "Tomorrow's a big day for both of you." "Yeah." "We can do it, Momo." "Yeah." "I'll be in Mito thinking of you." "I'll be in Shibuya thinking of you." "Be confident." "Yeah, I need to relax and be confident." "I wonder how it went for Yuuki." "Oh, it was today." "His driving test?" "He's not home yet?" "I haven't seen him." "I'm going to be older in just a bit." "That's right." "In 20 more minutes." "Oh, yeah!" "I'm going to try to stay up until midnight." "Yeah." "Welcome home." "Come on." "Hurry." "What?" "Oh no, did it not go well?" "What?" "No way!" "Really?" "You didn't pass?" "No way." "Really?" "You failed?" "I'm sorry, I failed." "I just turned 24 right now." "Seriously?" "I'm really sorry." "You really failed?" "Seriously?" "I scored an 89." "One point away." "One point?" "Seriously?" "First off, happy birthday." "I'm sorry I couldn't bring good news." "It's okay." "I have something to look forward to." "I'm really sorry, Misaki." "It's okay." "I'll get it soon." "As soon as I get it, let's go somewhere." "Seriously." "I definitely want to take you." "I'll always remember this birthday." "Happy birthday." "Yeah." "Zero days until the competition." "Keep calm and dance!" "Good luck!" "Good morning." "Good morning." "What are you making?" "Coffee." "Did you see Arman?" "No." "I think he went to work." "So early." "Isn't it early?" "Yeah." "I want some too." "Sure." "I'm making a lot." "It's my first time making it." "What made you decide to try it today?" "I can't go to the competition today." "So I thought I'd make some for Momo." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Are you nervous?" "No." "You're prepared?" "Yeah, I'm ready." "Dance as if you're the star." "Even though it's only two minutes long." "You have to show it in two minutes." "Two minutes will decide my fate after having danced ballet for 16 years." "The people who know will see it though." "What I've done all these years?" "You can tell the moment someone stands on stage." "Be one of those people." "Yeah." "Just coffee today?" "Be confident." "Is the coffee ready?" "Looks great!" "Go ahead." "Bon appétit." "It's perfect." "Good luck." "Do your best." "I will." "Thank you." "Good luck!" "I'm going now."

"I really wanted to make the top three." "So, I'm frustrated." "So what's gonna happen now?" "I mean..." "You mean after?" "I'm sort of in a panic right now." "You are?" "Yes." "You know how the curtains closed after?" "Afterwards, I was called over... and I got an offer from a ballet company." "What?" "I'll be a professional dancer starting next week." "Wow!" "Seriously?" "Congratulations!" "You scared me." "That's amazing!" "You made pro, but you're down?" "Yeah." "I'm still frustrated." "I wanted to make the top three..." "That doesn't matter now that you made pro!"

"He's not, but we haven't seen anything cool from him either." "He's been here awhile now." "Right?" "I don't care if he's good at making takoyaki, right?" "Anything." "You want him to show something." "Yeah, he needs to show something." "Something unexpected." "Yeah, he needs it." "What's really surprising is Byrnes failed his driving test." "Yeah."

"Why is she embarrassed?" "She looks so good!" "It was really cute." "It looked good on her, right?" "Yeah, it did." "You wanted to see more?" "I did." "You should seriously wear it whenever you feel like it." "I will." "Really?" "Yeah." "Really." "It really looked good on you." "Your license though..." "You don't know when you can get it." "Does that mean we won't go anywhere until then?" "No, let's go somewhere." "As long as it's not Yokohama or Shonan." "You don't want to go there that bad?" "I feel like it's bad luck." "Like..." "The bad luck..." "It won't go well if we go there?" "Yeah." "Even if you went with a different guy?" "You're right." "I'm wrong." "That doesn't sound right." "You're right." "But it's still scary." "What is?" "Never mind." "What are you afraid of?" "Tell me." "What's so scary?" "That even if you like someone... and even if that person liked you back... that may change." "So you're worried about that?" "Yeah." "Let's go somewhere." "Yeah, we should." "Don't stare at me." "I like you, Misaki." "You're kidding, right?" "Wait..." "Why would I kid about that?" "Here?" "I mean..." "It's only gonna be on your forehead." "Just your forehead..." "Wait, wait." "Wait." "Wait, I'm not ready." "I'm like the weird guy." "It's been a long time since I..." "Oh, man!"
