00:00:00.700 --> 00:00:04.090
Looking back on the five months
in Terrace House,
00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:10.270
I feel like I went through an additional
growth period after growing up.
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:13.070
So much that my knee joints hurt.

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:29.600
[Interview with a member who's leaving]
00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:34.220
I never used to have
a lot of close friends.
00:00:35.180 --> 00:00:40.100
Nobody had really given me their
honest opinion on my future before.
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:42.640
Clients always accepted my work,
saying, "That's great."
00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:47.020
But the housemates gave me
their straightforward opinions.
00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:52.540
They told me things that I didn’t want to
see or hear, things I’d been avoiding.
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.380
It was like going through a growth period.
00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:59.656
[ON THE FIRST DAY]
My first impression
of the original members...
00:00:59.830 --> 00:01:03.680
I thought that Shohei would
be much easier to talk to.
00:01:05.013 --> 00:01:08.476
I thought he was just an ordinary person.
00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:11.130
That was my first impression of Shohei.
00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:13.250
Haruka came next.
00:01:13.473 --> 00:01:16.126
You could tell what kind of person
she is just by looking at her.
00:01:16.146 --> 00:01:18.096
She's an actress and a model.
00:01:18.096 --> 00:01:21.350
She seemed strong-willed
and outspoken.
00:01:21.533 --> 00:01:23.990
But once you get close,
she's super sincere.
00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:28.820
So I thought I'd probably come to like her.
00:01:29.293 --> 00:01:31.120
When I first met Kenny,
00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:34.900
I thought I would hardly
talk to him until the end.
00:01:35.126 --> 00:01:36.366
Maybe...
00:01:36.613 --> 00:01:38.906
He was wearing his sunglasses
on the back of his head.
00:01:40.506 --> 00:01:43.516
Also, he was wearing leopard print...
00:01:43.786 --> 00:01:48.210
He was like-- So I thought we
wouldn't become close friends.
00:01:48.493 --> 00:01:50.000
About Risako...
00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:55.236
Actually, I couldn't see her well
because Haruka sat between us.
00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:58.270
My first impression was just that
she seemed to be a cheerful girl.
00:01:58.286 --> 00:02:00.360
I didn't expect us to get close like that.
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.220
About Ruka...
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.426
If I hadn’t appeared on the show,
I might never have met someone like him.
00:02:06.553 --> 00:02:08.710
He’s handsome, and...
00:02:09.046 --> 00:02:10.890
I don't know how to describe him...
00:02:11.513 --> 00:02:15.840
He’s like one of the popular kids
in junior high school.
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.620
That was my first impression of Ruka.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.293
[KENNY: KENJI YOSHIHARA]
I guess he loves Hawaii, the beach,
00:02:21.290 --> 00:02:24.933
and he's been inspired
by that kind of surf spirit.
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:30.293
He thinks that being more
easy-going is very important.
00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:31.320
So,
00:02:31.573 --> 00:02:36.133
It was easy for me to talk to him
because he doesn’t judge.
00:02:36.213 --> 00:02:39.213
Initially I thought he was more of a workaholic,
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.720
but he does have a big heart.
My impression of him changed a great deal.
00:02:43.186 --> 00:02:46.886
We talked about
money, contracts, and whatnot.
00:02:47.193 --> 00:02:50.610
He was very open about these topics,
00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:55.833
while bringing up actual examples.
00:02:55.980 --> 00:02:57.830
He wasn't hesitant to reveal himself.
00:02:57.830 --> 00:03:00.440
It was easy to imagine.
00:03:00.786 --> 00:03:04.086
I realized that we were
dealing with similar issues.
00:03:04.236 --> 00:03:08.486
So I could easily open up to him
about my future as an artist.
00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:12.176
He’s an artist, but
00:03:12.253 --> 00:03:16.590
he's constantly looking for other lucrative
opportunities to expand his work.
NOTE Paragraph
00:03:16.796 --> 00:03:19.373
I'd never met someone like that.
00:03:19.726 --> 00:03:23.550
I can't make a living drawing just
what I like. That's naive thinking.
00:03:23.890 --> 00:03:27.470
Kenny taught me that other
things are important, too.
00:03:28.846 --> 00:03:30.926
[SHOHEI MATSUZAKI]
I guess he’s a good guy.
00:03:31.053 --> 00:03:33.506
No, I’m sure he is.
00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:37.753
So I wanted to get to know him better.
In the beginning...
00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:42.060
I thought he was easy to talk to.
00:03:45.013 --> 00:03:47.940
Sometimes he was really kind to me,
00:03:48.050 --> 00:03:51.670
and sometimes he was in such a bad mood
that you’d expect him to go “tsk” at you.
00:03:51.670 --> 00:03:54.480
Well, sometimes it was like
he went into switch-off mode.
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.506
So it was tough to live with him.
00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.586
I’d wonder, “Which one is it
going to be today?”
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.926
If you ask me whether or not
I understood him...
00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:07.043
I just took him as he is.
00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:10.273
I’d never met anyone like him,
so I couldn’t judge him.
00:04:10.366 --> 00:04:15.396
Now, I sometimes grab a drink with Risako
and everyone, and he’s much easier to talk to.
00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:17.766
Initially...
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.266
I thought I wouldn't come to like him.
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.470
Well, I wasn't sure about my feelings.
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.773
I didn't get crazy about him right away.
00:04:29.410 --> 00:04:35.316
[RUKA NISHINOIRI]
I just thought he wanted to go buy art supplies.
00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:39.630
I thought he just wanted to get to know
me as a housemate.
00:04:39.630 --> 00:04:41.920
So I agreed to go with him.
00:04:42.213 --> 00:04:45.820
Then, when he asked me out to dinner
at the art supply store,
00:04:45.996 --> 00:04:47.893
I was like, "Oh yeah, let's go!"
00:04:48.063 --> 00:04:52.623
I didn’t expect him to have
planned it out as a date.
00:04:52.853 --> 00:04:54.850
I just enjoyed myself.
00:04:55.273 --> 00:04:59.853
For a second I thought he would treat me
00:04:59.850 --> 00:05:02.726
since he took me to the restaurant.
00:05:03.073 --> 00:05:05.083
The thought crossed my mind.
00:05:06.433 --> 00:05:12.530
I was thinking that it'd be strange
to wait for him to pay.
00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:16.546
Like, “Wait, he’s eight years
younger than you!”
00:05:16.546 --> 00:05:18.540
And then I just went like "It's on me!"
00:05:19.293 --> 00:05:20.840
It's like...
00:05:21.213 --> 00:05:26.033
If he’d just casually paid for me,
it would’ve been easy to accept it.
00:05:26.940 --> 00:05:29.060
[ABOUT RUKA'S FEELING FOR YOU]
Of course it made me happy.
00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:31.506
Since we never talked so much
at the house,
00:05:31.893 --> 00:05:34.420
I wondered what made
him feel interested in me.
00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:37.430
Honestly, I was more wondering than excited.
00:05:38.140 --> 00:05:40.213
But yeah, I was glad, of course.
00:05:40.950 --> 00:05:44.900
I did get butterflies
since he was so cute, but...
00:05:46.820 --> 00:05:49.580
It's like... at the moment,
00:05:49.853 --> 00:05:53.253
I want to be with someone more reliable.
00:05:53.526 --> 00:05:57.573
If I was younger, it would've been fun.
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.580
I have too much on my plate right now.
00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:05.933
[PEPPE: GIUSEPPE DURATO]
I wasn’t sure how to interact with him
since he’s this super cheerful guy.
00:06:07.563 --> 00:06:09.026
Looking at his drawings--
00:06:09.026 --> 00:06:12.130
I'd been feeling down at the time,
so there's that.
00:06:12.130 --> 00:06:16.543
His drawings are amazing, plus he came to Japan
with such extraordinary determination.
00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:21.816
To be honest, at first I was embarrassed
to draw at the house while he was there.
00:06:22.460 --> 00:06:24.640
But as I talked to Peppe,
00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:26.980
I was embarrassed to think that way.
00:06:27.260 --> 00:06:32.213
He finds good in others.
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:39.846
He praised me, but he also
showed me where I needed practice.
00:06:40.013 --> 00:06:41.866
He gives great feedback.
00:06:43.573 --> 00:06:47.180
I hope I’ll be able to talk to him
about my worries from time to time.
00:06:48.493 --> 00:06:52.580
[RYO TAWATARI]
He's a jock kind of guy,
00:06:52.853 --> 00:06:56.160
and he’s come very far playing basketball.
00:06:56.966 --> 00:07:00.106
I said this in my entrance interview too,
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.550
but those who have been
trying their best at sports,
00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:06.346
even if they get treated
unfairly sometimes,
00:07:06.513 --> 00:07:09.080
they don't become stubborn,
00:07:09.366 --> 00:07:13.860
and they can process it like,
"It happens."
00:07:14.013 --> 00:07:18.156
Many jocks are nice,
so I like those kinds of people.
00:07:18.446 --> 00:07:21.396
To be honest, I wanted to talk to Ryo more,
00:07:21.546 --> 00:07:24.106
I wish he had moved in earlier...
How should I put it--
00:07:24.733 --> 00:07:27.313
I wanted to spend more time with him.
00:07:27.986 --> 00:07:32.080
At the beginning of the show,
if he'd been one of the housemates,
00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:35.266
I’m sure he’d been the first one
I would’ve gone out to eat with.
00:07:35.833 --> 00:07:38.453
He was really a nice guy.
00:07:38.826 --> 00:07:43.666
He immediately fit in with
everyone just like that,
00:07:43.666 --> 00:07:45.830
and I could be myself around him.
00:07:46.020 --> 00:07:48.453
I felt comfortable around him.
00:07:48.606 --> 00:07:50.220
That's what I thought.
00:07:50.786 --> 00:07:56.686
Now, if Ryo and anyone out of the other
housemates had been there in the beginning,
00:07:56.866 --> 00:07:59.973
Ryo would’ve been the first person
I would’ve wanted to go out with.
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:04.220
[RISAKO TANABE]
Risako is... Hmm...
00:08:05.453 --> 00:08:07.913
She says what's on her mind.
00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:10.713
No matter what you say,
she doesn't get angry--
00:08:10.713 --> 00:08:12.726
Well, she might get angry.
00:08:13.200 --> 00:08:15.566
At first, I was worried
about living with her,
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.286
since she's so young and energetic.
00:08:19.380 --> 00:08:24.000
But she was totally different from
my first impression of her.
00:08:25.066 --> 00:08:28.613
I'd never been friends with
someone like Risako.
00:08:28.956 --> 00:08:31.566
So I was anxious about what
it'd be like, since she's so young.
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.246
But once we started living together,
I could see that she’s very polite.
00:08:35.506 --> 00:08:37.946
I realized I like people who play sports.
00:08:38.273 --> 00:08:39.940
I really like Risako.
00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:41.940
I could talk to her about anything.
00:08:42.946 --> 00:08:45.980
[HARUKA OKUYAMA]
I wondered if she'd try to entertain us.
00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:48.546
or if she'd consider that kind of thing...
00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:51.686
I'm exaggerating a bit,
but I wondered if she'd burst into tears...
00:08:51.786 --> 00:08:55.140
Because I don't know any actresses.
00:08:55.606 --> 00:08:57.653
At first I was bracing myself against her,
00:08:57.860 --> 00:08:58.740
but she was like...
00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:03.140
Before bedtime, even off-screen,
she’d be like, “Kenny is kind of attractive!”
00:09:03.140 --> 00:09:05.680
I realized that’s just her being herself.
00:09:07.146 --> 00:09:08.973
As time went by--
00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:10.650
She's easy to read.
00:09:10.650 --> 00:09:14.680
When she was down, sometimes she’d
just decide to stop thinking about it
00:09:14.826 --> 00:09:17.953
and started playing with her phone…
I really came to like her.
00:09:17.950 --> 00:09:22.263
At first, I didn't know how to interact with her,
00:09:23.146 --> 00:09:26.446
but I got to know that
that's her true color.
00:09:26.626 --> 00:09:30.780
I’ve come to like her a lot and I’ve been
able to open up to her more and more.
00:09:31.366 --> 00:09:34.706
Although it took us some time
to get close,
00:09:35.853 --> 00:09:40.280
Hmmm… I think I made a really good friend.
I mean Haruka.
00:09:40.473 --> 00:09:43.790
I'm sure she'll point out a lot of things
even now after I moved out.
00:09:43.790 --> 00:09:46.420
Like, "You've been slacking off lately,
haven't you?"
00:09:46.420 --> 00:09:48.420
I believe so.
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:54.886
Haruka said that she couldn't have
a heart-to-heart talk with me.
00:09:55.326 --> 00:09:59.193
That reminded me of
my attitude toward illustration.
00:09:59.630 --> 00:10:02.986
I've been drawing what people like,
00:10:03.053 --> 00:10:05.660
based on other people's preferences.
00:10:05.660 --> 00:10:08.706
I figured my personality is like that, too.
00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:11.760
So others might have a hard time
getting to know me better.
00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:16.613
Also, I sometimes refrain from speaking
my mind and step back.
00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:20.306
I feel like Haruka removed the idea
from my mind.
00:10:21.410 --> 00:10:25.646
[CAREER PROSPECTS]
Actually, I’ve been holding an art exhibition every year,
00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:29.220
but this was the first time
I held one in a gallery.
00:10:29.626 --> 00:10:32.230
So I needed to get it together.
00:10:32.420 --> 00:10:36.030
Because a lot of people would
come to see my drawings,
00:10:36.180 --> 00:10:39.773
people who knew me from Terrace House,
and other people, too.
00:10:40.576 --> 00:10:46.346
I was under a lot of pressure
to make it a success.
00:10:47.850 --> 00:10:52.820
I made a lot of new acquaintances, and I was
really happy that so many people came.
00:10:53.213 --> 00:10:57.593
I got really tough
thanks to Terrace House.
00:10:58.566 --> 00:11:06.386
I want to live up to the name recognition I got from
Terrace House and go beyond that.
00:11:06.513 --> 00:11:10.516
I really want to show
everyone what I’m made of.
00:11:11.393 --> 00:11:13.700
I've changed through Terrace House.
00:11:14.366 --> 00:11:17.403
I've been unsure until now,
especially when I just moved in.
00:11:17.773 --> 00:11:19.380
But now...
00:11:21.913 --> 00:11:26.346
I'll do my best not to be known just as
someone who appeared on Terrace House.
