0:00:00.724,0:00:01.609 Her smile! 0:00:02.204,0:00:06.707 The way her face wrinkles up [br]when she smiles is really cute. 0:00:07.095,0:00:09.623 She makes people happy. 0:00:09.931,0:00:18.168 [COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS] 0:00:18.168,0:00:25.203 [Interview with a member who's leaving] 0:00:26.276,0:00:28.004 When living in the house... 0:00:28.984,0:00:32.359 I thought there'd be more disagreements 0:00:32.585,0:00:34.365 or that we might not get along. 0:00:34.536,0:00:39.241 I thought we'd have more [br]quarrels with the girls, 0:00:39.410,0:00:43.914 and that the guys' room [br]would be a total mess. 0:00:44.310,0:00:45.438 But in reality, 0:00:45.698,0:00:49.978 I was able to make friends who are like [br]family to me, which made me really happy. 0:00:50.326,0:00:53.357 [YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE GIRLS][br]My first impression was that... 0:00:53.569,0:00:55.834 none of them really hit the spot for me. 0:00:56.300,0:01:02.924 My initial reaction was, [br]"Oh, I probably won't fall in love here." 0:01:03.186,0:01:06.253 All three of them seemed [br]very nice and they're all beautiful, 0:01:06.578,0:01:08.906 but I didn't feel drawn to any of them. 0:01:09.752,0:01:14.024 So I decided to just enjoy my time there. 0:01:14.780,0:01:17.732 [ABOUT RUKA NISHINOIRI][br]Well... 0:01:18.118,0:01:24.678 At the time I was having doubts [br]about the path that I'd chosen. 0:01:25.156,0:01:31.531 People of the same age usually face [br]similar problems in their lives. 0:01:31.842,0:01:34.634 While I was dealing with concerns [br]I had about my work, 0:01:34.634,0:01:37.574 he didn't even know what he wanted to do. 0:01:37.774,0:01:43.437 I regret that I wasn't able to motivate [br]him the way I thought I could. 0:01:43.710,0:01:47.310 He wanted to enter a field he [br]doesn't know anything about... 0:01:48.972,0:01:54.100 He knew so little about it that he didn't [br]even know if he wanted to do it or not. 0:01:54.425,0:01:58.681 I just told him to give it a try, [br]and then see if it's for him or not. 0:01:59.739,0:02:05.675 Haruka and Kaori told him to be [br]more specific, 0:02:06.258,0:02:09.138 but there's hardly anyone who knows [br]right away just what they want. 0:02:09.420,0:02:12.817 I think people like Ruka just need to [br]try different things 0:02:13.057,0:02:22.337 and find out for themselves [br]if they like it or not. 0:02:22.825,0:02:25.546 [SHOHEI MAKING DATE PLANS ON THE FIRST DAY][br]I liked the way he just went for it. 0:02:25.546,0:02:27.843 But he stopped doing that soon after. 0:02:27.993,0:02:33.369 I was surprised to see that he [br]wasn't usually that straightforward. 0:02:33.534,0:02:34.478 Actually... 0:02:37.414,0:02:42.732 Out of the three girls, [br]Kaori, who's an illustrator, 0:02:42.732,0:02:44.868 was probably the one I wanted [br]to talk to most. 0:02:45.210,0:02:47.250 But since Shohei sort of [br]called dibs on her, 0:02:50.264,0:02:53.392 I was hesitant to ask Kaori out. 0:02:53.717,0:02:57.253 [THE GIRLS' COMPLAINT: "THE GUYS WON'T ASK US OUT"][br]In my opinion, 0:02:57.499,0:03:00.475 asking someone out isn't the only way [br]to let them know you're interested. 0:03:00.475,0:03:05.339 Like when eating together [br]at the house for instance-- 0:03:06.740,0:03:14.244 I thought it'd be better to convey it[br]through small gestures on those occasions. 0:03:14.373,0:03:17.836 Also, in case I fell in love with a girl, 0:03:18.006,0:03:22.329 I'd want to make her understand [br]how I feel about her. 0:03:22.671,0:03:25.553 If I went out with the other girls 0:03:25.793,0:03:27.578 and was nice to all of them [br]at the same time, 0:03:27.768,0:03:32.536 it's like I only chose her because [br]out of the three she was the one I liked best. 0:03:32.690,0:03:35.690 And the girl I fell for won't [br]get that I really like her. 0:03:35.840,0:03:40.040 But if I don't actively pursue [br]any of them, 0:03:40.954,0:03:44.026 I'm exaggerating a bit, [br]but if there's no kissing 0:03:44.382,0:03:47.174 and no messing around [br]with the other two girls-- 0:03:47.294,0:03:51.197 If I only have eyes for her, she's gonna [br]be like, "Oh, he really likes me." 0:03:51.197,0:03:53.781 "He's acting differently now." 0:03:53.941,0:03:55.910 I think that way it's easier [br]to understand. 0:03:56.382,0:04:01.837 But until it goes from just being [br]romantically interested to being in love, 0:04:03.824,0:04:07.936 I didn't think I should be hitting [br]on anyone. That's not my style. 0:04:08.471,0:04:12.301 The thing I said about wanting [br]to be open about my love life-- 0:04:12.541,0:04:18.197 Risako was giving me a hard time [br]because of it, 0:04:18.894,0:04:21.245 saying I wasn't taking any action at all. 0:04:21.475,0:04:29.807 But what I meant is not making eyes at [br]everyone or anything like that. 0:04:30.009,0:04:35.539 I meant that once I fall for someone,[br]I just want to be open about how I feel. 0:04:35.669,0:04:39.278 And once we become a couple, I don't want [br]to hide my relationship from anyone 0:04:39.278,0:04:43.679 and I want to be able to tell people,[br]"This is the person I love." 0:04:44.728,0:04:48.002 That's what I meant with [br]being open about my love life. 0:04:48.002,0:04:50.452 But I was somehow misunderstood. 0:04:50.690,0:04:53.508 The girls were like, "Kenny, why don't[br]you make a move already?" 0:04:53.508,0:04:56.144 But hitting on girls and being open [br]about your love life, 0:04:56.144,0:04:58.444 I think these are two different things [br]that should not be confused. 0:04:58.444,0:05:01.772 For me, falling for a girl, [br]and then telling her how you feel-- 0:05:01.772,0:05:05.196 that's what I think being open [br]about your love life is about. 0:05:05.468,0:05:08.632 That's just how I feel. 0:05:09.202,0:05:11.858 [ABOUT KAORI WATANABE][br]I'm not really someone who believes in 0:05:12.254,0:05:14.708 friendships between men and women. 0:05:15.146,0:05:16.903 But with Kaori, it was like... 0:05:18.712,0:05:24.776 We'd often drink together at night, [br]just the two of us, 0:05:25.528,0:05:33.620 and we talked about work, our outlook on [br]life and so on, in a very relaxed manner. 0:05:34.671,0:05:37.913 I'm not sure if Kaori feels [br]the same way about me-- 0:05:38.407,0:05:42.423 Actually, she's said before [br]that I was the easiest to talk to. 0:05:43.617,0:05:45.937 Maybe the fact that [br]we're close in age played into it. 0:05:46.115,0:05:47.263 But... 0:05:47.582,0:05:50.538 even regardless of age, 0:05:50.772,0:05:53.744 the things she was dealing with [br]regarding her work, 0:05:54.799,0:05:57.753 like issues with her clients and so on-- 0:05:57.753,0:06:03.200 Well, she's an artist, and I consider [br]myself an artist as well. 0:06:03.200,0:06:04.373 Like... 0:06:05.246,0:06:09.735 how to deal with a client's request 0:06:09.735,0:06:15.187 without bending who you are, [br]while still considering their ideas too. 0:06:15.187,0:06:20.549 We had similar issues we could talk about. 0:06:21.525,0:06:25.592 There was a lot of stress that [br]had built up in those three months, 0:06:25.592,0:06:28.531 since my life was changing a great deal. 0:06:29.077,0:06:33.180 She was like an oasis for me [br]during that time. 0:06:34.137,0:06:37.089 [ABOUT HARUKA OKUYAMA][br]Haruka has her own unique style. 0:06:37.089,0:06:43.541 And I always felt that [br]we wouldn't be a good match. 0:06:43.883,0:06:47.143 I'm not saying that I don't think [br]of her as a great person, 0:06:47.673,0:06:51.822 but it's like I'm the south pole of a magnet[br]and she's the north pole. 0:06:53.122,0:06:58.303 I instantly felt that we wouldn't [br]get along if we became a couple. 0:06:58.741,0:07:02.217 [WHAT HARUKA SAID AT THE OKINAWAN RESTAURANT][br]It made me happy, and my heart kind of skipped a beat. 0:07:02.217,0:07:06.024 Most people wouldn't say this for fear of [br]being disliked by the other person. 0:07:06.114,0:07:09.501 Maybe she just told me [br]because we were living together. 0:07:09.707,0:07:12.293 She pointed out to me what she[br]thought was bad behavior on my part-- 0:07:12.494,0:07:15.282 I was drunk, so I really don't [br]remember what I said. 0:07:15.412,0:07:19.036 I even questioned for a moment [br]if that was really what I'd said. 0:07:19.339,0:07:24.782 I thought maybe I'd just said something [br]like, "Getting up at 5 am sucks!" 0:07:24.952,0:07:29.249 But when she told me flat-out [br]that she disagreed with me, 0:07:29.579,0:07:33.761 I started falling for her a bit, or rather [br]I thought she was really awesome. 0:07:34.247,0:07:37.249 She really made an impression on me [br]during that scene. 0:07:38.002,0:07:44.349 Maybe if it'd been like that every night, [br]I might've fallen for her. 0:07:45.024,0:07:47.560 [HARUKA AND RISAKO'S FIGHT][br]Looking back, I definitely should've 0:07:47.560,0:07:49.666 gone after Risako at the time. 0:07:49.666,0:07:51.622 I really regret that now. 0:07:52.458,0:07:59.238 But I thought that going after her [br]would throw the house into chaos. 0:07:59.570,0:08:02.620 I tried to be the grown-up but didn't [br]make the right choice. 0:08:03.368,0:08:05.608 I thought way too much about it. 0:08:05.917,0:08:11.529 I really regretted not taking action [br]in a situation in which 0:08:11.776,0:08:15.156 I should've shown her how [br]important she is to me. 0:08:15.156,0:08:19.348 I realized that when watching [br]myself on the show. 0:08:20.226,0:08:23.938 In that moment I was just... panicking. 0:08:24.231,0:08:27.712 And what I ended up saying was [br]"This got kind of crazy." 0:08:27.956,0:08:33.533 And Haruka readily picked up on that [br]and repeated it again and again. 0:08:33.982,0:08:37.982 It was a very bittersweet night. 0:08:38.702,0:08:40.847 [ABOUT RISAKO TANABE][br]I can't really say myself 0:08:40.970,0:08:43.455 what it was that attracted me to her. 0:08:43.640,0:08:47.168 There wasn't anything in particular [br]that made me start liking her. 0:08:47.781,0:08:55.621 That thoughtfulness she showed [br]everyday towards Shohei or Ruka, 0:08:55.621,0:08:58.473 or her thoughtful behavior [br]towards Kaori or Haruka-- 0:08:58.473,0:09:05.002 seeing that, I realized more and more [br]that she's a really good person. 0:09:05.426,0:09:07.343 When everyone was feeling down, 0:09:07.791,0:09:10.409 even if there was something [br]that bothered her, 0:09:10.777,0:09:15.111 she'd always try to cheer everyone up [br]without letting herself get dragged down. 0:09:15.454,0:09:17.525 She never talks bad about anyone. 0:09:18.421,0:09:26.052 Even as an observer, you'd expect her[br]to say something about Haruka. 0:09:26.052,0:09:29.203 But she never complained [br]or badmouthed her. 0:09:29.483,0:09:32.926 I came to respect her for those traits. 0:09:33.846,0:09:36.387 And when we went out together, 0:09:36.843,0:09:39.150 I realized how cute she is. 0:09:39.150,0:09:44.179 All of that eventually made me [br]fall in love with her. 0:09:44.323,0:09:46.067 [THE SONG YOU WROTE FOR RISAKO][br]Even though I was rejected, 0:09:46.067,0:09:48.306 I still want to support her [br]the best I can. 0:09:48.698,0:09:51.062 I want her to be happy, 0:09:51.062,0:09:55.288 and the best way I can express [br]that is with music. 0:09:55.415,0:09:58.148 I wanted to give her a shout-out, 0:09:58.348,0:10:01.122 since she was worrying at the time [br]about what she should do, 0:10:01.762,0:10:04.436 and maybe she still is, I don't know. 0:10:04.436,0:10:07.154 She had a lot on her plate, 0:10:07.154,0:10:10.871 and work wasn't always great. 0:10:11.079,0:10:12.527 And because of that 0:10:12.527,0:10:18.190 I thought I could give her some [br]kind of shout-out on my platform. 0:10:19.342,0:10:27.646 So I... asked our fans to join me in that. 0:10:28.230,0:10:31.190 [YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH RISAKO FROM NOW ON][br]Until she tells me
