00:00:02,204 --> 00:00:06,707
The way her face wrinkles up 
when she smiles is really cute.

[Interview with a member who's leaving]

6
00:00:26,276 --> 00:00:28,004
When living in the house...

7
00:00:28,984 --> 00:00:32,359
I thought there'd be more disagreements

8
00:00:32,585 --> 00:00:34,365
or that we might not get along.

9
00:00:34,536 --> 00:00:39,241
I thought we'd have more 
quarrels with the girls,

10
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:43,914
and that the guys' room 
would be a total mess.

11
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:45,438
But in reality,

12
00:00:45,698 --> 00:00:49,978
I was able to make friends who are like 
family to me, which made me really happy.

[YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE GIRLS]
My first impression was that...

14
00:00:53,569 --> 00:00:55,834
none of them really hit the spot for me.

15
00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:02,924
My initial reaction was, 
"Oh, I probably won't fall in love here."

16
00:01:03,186 --> 00:01:06,253
All three of them seemed 
very nice and they're all beautiful,

17
00:01:06,578 --> 00:01:08,906
but I didn't feel drawn to any of them.

18
00:01:09,752 --> 00:01:14,024

[ABOUT RUKA NISHINOIRI]
Well...

20
00:01:18,118 --> 00:01:24,678
At the time I was having doubts 
about the path that I'd chosen.

21
00:01:25,156 --> 00:01:31,531
People of the same age usually face 
similar problems in their lives.

22
00:01:31,842 --> 00:01:34,634
While I was dealing with concerns 
I had about my work,

23
00:01:34,634 --> 00:01:37,574
he didn't even know what he wanted to do.

24
00:01:37,774 --> 00:01:43,437
I regret that I wasn't able to motivate 
him the way I thought I could.

25
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:47,310
He wanted to enter a field he 
doesn't know anything about...

26
00:01:48,972 --> 00:01:54,100
He knew so little about it that he didn't 
even know if he wanted to do it or not.

27
00:01:54,425 --> 00:01:58,681
I just told him to give it a try, 
and then see if it's for him or not.

28
00:01:59,739 --> 00:02:05,675
Haruka and Kaori told him to be 
more specific,

29
00:02:06,258 --> 00:02:09,138
but there's hardly anyone who knows 
right away just what they want.

30
00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:12,817
I think people like Ruka just need to 
try different things

31
00:02:13,057 --> 00:02:22,337
and find out for themselves 
if they like it or not.

[SHOHEI MAKING DATE PLANS ON THE FIRST DAY]
I liked the way he just went for it.

33
00:02:25,546 --> 00:02:27,843
But he stopped doing that soon after.

34
00:02:27,993 --> 00:02:33,369
I was surprised to see that he 
wasn't usually that straightforward.

35
00:02:33,534 --> 00:02:34,478
Actually...

36
00:02:37,414 --> 00:02:42,732
Out of the three girls, 
Kaori, who's an illustrator,

37
00:02:42,732 --> 00:02:44,868
was probably the one I wanted 
to talk to most.

38
00:02:45,210 --> 00:02:47,250
But since Shohei sort of 
called dibs on her,

39
00:02:50,264 --> 00:02:53,392
I was hesitant to ask Kaori out.

40
00:02:53,717 --> 00:02:57,253
[THE GIRLS' COMPLAINT: "THE GUYS WON'T ASK US OUT"]
In my opinion,

41
00:02:57,499 --> 00:03:00,475
asking someone out isn't the only way 
to let them know you're interested.

42
00:03:00,475 --> 00:03:05,339
Like when eating together 
at the house for instance--

43
00:03:06,740 --> 00:03:14,244
I thought it'd be better to convey it
through small gestures on those occasions.

44
00:03:14,373 --> 00:03:17,836
Also, in case I fell in love with a girl,

45
00:03:18,006 --> 00:03:22,329
I'd want to make her understand 
how I feel about her.

46
00:03:22,671 --> 00:03:25,553
If I went out with the other girls

47
00:03:25,793 --> 00:03:27,578
and was nice to all of them 
at the same time,

48
00:03:27,768 --> 00:03:32,536
it's like I only chose her because 
out of the three she was the one I liked best.

49
00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:35,690
And the girl I fell for won't 
get that I really like her.

50
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,040
But if I don't actively pursue 
any of them,

51
00:03:40,954 --> 00:03:44,026
I'm exaggerating a bit, 
but if there's no kissing

52
00:03:44,382 --> 00:03:47,174
and no messing around 
with the other two girls--

53
00:03:47,294 --> 00:03:51,197
If I only have eyes for her, she's gonna 
be like, "Oh, he really likes me."

54
00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:53,781
"He's acting differently now."

55
00:03:53,941 --> 00:03:55,910
I think that way it's easier 
to understand.

56
00:03:56,382 --> 00:04:01,837
But until it goes from just being 
romantically interested to being in love,

57
00:04:03,824 --> 00:04:07,936
I didn't think I should be hitting 
on anyone. That's not my style.

58
00:04:08,471 --> 00:04:12,301
The thing I said about wanting 
to be open about my love life--

59
00:04:12,541 --> 00:04:18,197
Risako was giving me a hard time 
because of it,

60
00:04:18,894 --> 00:04:21,245
saying I wasn't taking any action at all.

61
00:04:21,475 --> 00:04:29,807
But what I meant is not making eyes at 
everyone or anything like that.

62
00:04:30,009 --> 00:04:35,539
I meant that once I fall for someone,
I just want to be open about how I feel.

63
00:04:35,669 --> 00:04:39,278
And once we become a couple, I don't want 
to hide my relationship from anyone

64
00:04:39,278 --> 00:04:43,679
and I want to be able to tell people,
"This is the person I love."

65
00:04:44,728 --> 00:04:48,002
That's what I meant with 
being open about my love life.

66
00:04:48,002 --> 00:04:50,452
But I was somehow misunderstood.

67
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:53,508
The girls were like, "Kenny, why don't
you make a move already?"

68
00:04:53,508 --> 00:04:56,144
But hitting on girls and being open 
about your love life,

69
00:04:56,144 --> 00:04:58,444
I think these are two different things 
that should not be confused.

70
00:04:58,444 --> 00:05:01,772
For me, falling for a girl, 
and then telling her how you feel--

71
00:05:01,772 --> 00:05:05,196
that's what I think being open 
about your love life is about.

72
00:05:05,468 --> 00:05:08,632
That's just how I feel.

75
00:05:15,146 --> 00:05:16,903
But with Kaori, it was like...

76
00:05:18,712 --> 00:05:24,776
We'd often drink together at night, 
just the two of us,

77
00:05:25,528 --> 00:05:33,620
and we talked about work, our outlook on 
life and so on, in a very relaxed manner.

78
00:05:34,671 --> 00:05:37,913
I'm not sure if Kaori feels 
the same way about me--

79
00:05:38,407 --> 00:05:42,423
Actually, she's said before 
that I was the easiest to talk to.

80
00:05:43,617 --> 00:05:45,937
Maybe the fact that 
we're close in age played into it.

81
00:05:46,115 --> 00:05:47,263
But...

82
00:05:47,582 --> 00:05:50,538
even regardless of age,

83
00:05:50,772 --> 00:05:53,744
the things she was dealing with 
regarding her work,

myself an artist as well.

without bending who you are, 
while still considering their ideas too.

89
00:06:15,187 --> 00:06:20,549
We had similar issues we could talk about.

90
00:06:21,525 --> 00:06:25,592
There was a lot of stress that 
had built up in those three months,

91
00:06:25,592 --> 00:06:28,531
since my life was changing a great deal.

92
00:06:29,077 --> 00:06:33,180

Haruka has her own unique style.

And I always felt that 
we wouldn't be a good match.

95
00:06:43,883 --> 00:06:47,143
I'm not saying that I don't think 
of her as a great person,

96
00:06:47,673 --> 00:06:51,822
but it's like I'm the south pole of a magnet
and she's the north pole.

97
00:06:53,122 --> 00:06:58,303
I instantly felt that we wouldn't 
get along if we became a couple.

[WHAT HARUKA SAID AT THE OKINAWAN RESTAURANT]
It made me happy, and my heart kind of skipped a beat.

99
00:07:02,217 --> 00:07:06,024
Most people wouldn't say this for fear of 
being disliked by the other person.

100
00:07:06,114 --> 00:07:09,501
Maybe she just told me 
because we were living together.

101
00:07:09,707 --> 00:07:12,293
She pointed out to me what she
thought was bad behavior on my part--

102
00:07:12,494 --> 00:07:15,282
I was drunk, so I really don't 
remember what I said.

103
00:07:15,412 --> 00:07:19,036
I even questioned for a moment 
if that was really what I'd said.

104
00:07:19,339 --> 00:07:24,782
I thought maybe I'd just said something 
like, "Getting up at 5 am sucks!"

105
00:07:24,952 --> 00:07:29,249
But when she told me flat-out 
that she disagreed with me,

106
00:07:29,579 --> 00:07:33,761
I started falling for her a bit, or rather 
I thought she was really awesome.

107
00:07:34,247 --> 00:07:37,249
She really made an impression on me 
during that scene.

108
00:07:38,002 --> 00:07:44,349
Maybe if it'd been like that every night, 
I might've fallen for her.

111
00:07:49,666 --> 00:07:51,622
I really regret that now.

112
00:07:52,458 --> 00:07:59,238
But I thought that going after her 
would throw the house into chaos.

113
00:07:59,570 --> 00:08:02,620
I tried to be the grown-up but didn't 
make the right choice.

114
00:08:03,368 --> 00:08:05,608
I thought way too much about it.

115
00:08:05,917 --> 00:08:11,529
I really regretted not taking action 
in a situation in which

116
00:08:11,776 --> 00:08:15,156
I should've shown her how 
important she is to me.

117
00:08:15,156 --> 00:08:19,348
I realized that when watching 
myself on the show.

118
00:08:20,226 --> 00:08:23,938
In that moment I was just... panicking.

119

And what I ended up saying was 
"This got kind of crazy."

120

And Haruka readily picked up on that 
and repeated it again and again.

what it was that attracted me to her.

124
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,168
There wasn't anything in particular 
that made me start liking her.

125
00:08:47,781 --> 00:08:55,621
That thoughtfulness she showed 
everyday towards Shohei or Ruka,

126
00:08:55,621 --> 00:08:58,473
or her thoughtful behavior 
towards Kaori or Haruka--

127
00:08:58,473 --> 00:09:05,002
seeing that, I realized more and more 
that she's a really good person.

128

When everyone was feeling down,

129

even if there was something 
that bothered her,

130
00:09:10,777 --> 00:09:15,111
she'd always try to cheer everyone up 
without letting herself get dragged down.

131
00:09:15,454 --> 00:09:17,525
She never talks bad about anyone.

132
00:09:18,421 --> 00:09:26,052
Even as an observer, you'd expect her
to say something about Haruka.

133
00:09:26,052 --> 00:09:29,203
But she never complained 
or badmouthed her.

134
00:09:29,483 --> 00:09:32,926
I came to respect her for those traits.

135
00:09:33,846 --> 00:09:36,387
And when we went out together,

I wanted to give her a shout-out,

143
00:09:58,348 --> 00:10:01,122
since she was worrying at the time 
about what she should do,

144

and maybe she still is, I don't know.
