【49th WEEK】「まだ遊びたいから正直迷った…」 卒業インタビュー 福田愛大編

Initially, after leaving Terrace House...

I thought I'd get more followers on
Instagram, and people would recognize me.

Honestly, I thought I'd be able to
have some more fun with girls.

I thought dating someone
wouldn't be a good idea.

But I thought about it
for about a month...

before deciding
to tell her how I feel.

[COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS]

[Interview with a member who's leaving]

I was unemployed for about two months.

While everyone had work and stuff...
I was always staying at home.

So when everyone was home
when they didn't have work,

it was a lot of fun.

Well, since I didn't have anything to do,

I'd do the dishes in the morning
and that was it.

Then I started playing badminton
with Yui and stuff.

Up until then, I always had
been busy with soccer.

It was the first time that I didn't
have anything to do all day.

I couldn't get used to it at first,

but after about a month...

I got to know Yui and
the other housemates.

And... it was a lot more fun.

Going out was especially fun for me.

[ABOUT KAITO NAKATA]
At first, Kaito had these mood swings.

So... there were days when he
was in a really gloomy mood.

I felt a bit uncomfortable at first,

but once I got used to living there, and since
guys really don't care about these things,

we became really good friends.

I still meet up with him now.

[ABOUT SOTA KONO]
During the time Sota lived in the house...

I wasn't really able to enjoy myself.

Sota always went out to
have a smoke with me.

He listened to me and stuff...

so I felt really comfortable with him.

[YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE GIRLS?]
My impression of Yui was really bad...

I honestly thought,
"She's the worst! She creeps me out!"

But, you know...

Once I started living with her
and talking to her,

I realized she's a really nice girl.

I felt like there was this gap,
and I really liked that.

[YOUR CONFESSION AT THE BAR]
At that time...

I didn't want to hurt a girl
as pure as her,

so I made up my mind and
told her how I felt.

At that time, I already knew
how I felt about her.

I didn't know how Yui felt towards me.

So I thought it'd be best to tell her
I was in love with her,

just for her to start being
aware of me like that.

I wanted her to know that my actions
towards her were based on romantic feelings.

I tried to hold hands with her...

And she said, "No way!" Or did she?
She said, "No way!" or "No!"

And I thought, "Okay, so she's
not into me like that."

I thought maybe this is the end.

It really hurt.

I was hurt and...

Like... I felt sad, and I was
a little embarrassed.

[THE SECRET RENDEZVOUS WITH YUI]
I thought she might act different if

we met outside of the house.

I thought maybe we could have a
relationship after Terrace House ended...

But I didn't know what Yui
was like outside of the house.

I just didn't know what to do.
That's how I felt.

So we met outside of the house.

She came to my house...

and we did it.

We kissed.

I got excited, and...

when I asked her if she wanted
to sleep with me, she agreed.

I got so excited. I was like,
"Oh my God!"

We got into a really good mood.

So...

One thing led to another.

We were about to do it...

but we couldn't go all the way.

So I finished myself off.

So I guess you can't really say we did it.

Although when I told Risako
about it, I said we did it.

Well, I wasn't really thinking,
so I just said it...

But actually, we didn't do it.

But... After the thing with the socks...

When everyone heard what
we did behind the cameras...

Risako kind of came off as the bad one.

I really regret that.
I mean, it was like...

I was like, "How come I'm on this side?"

After I told everyone,
I felt a bit relieved though.

So I'm glad I did.

[YOUR FUTURE AS A PERSONAL TRAINER]
Teaching seems really hard...

I thought I should do
something that I can focus on.

There's really nothing I can do
aside from soccer...

so I was looking for something
I could do with passion.

I came here and talked to them...

and I kind of started feeling
that passion in me.

What I'm doing here is really exciting.

It's very fulfilling.

Well, I'm still not there yet.

I want to support both inexperienced
and super-ambitious people...

and to help them develop not just
their body, but their character, too.

I want to become a trainer to rely on.

All while enjoying it.

I want to be able to enjoy it as much as,
if not even more than soccer

and I want to keep pursuing it.
That would be perfect.
