[Interview with a new member]

0:00:12.510,0:00:14.690
I'm Kenji Yoshihara. I'm 31 years old.

0:00:15.180,0:00:16.660
I'm a musician.

0:00:17.390,0:00:19.780
The band I'm playing in is called "SPiCYSOL."

0:00:20.470,0:00:22.400
I'm the vocalist.

0:00:23.060,0:00:29.420
We're playing a cross between[br]R&B and surf music.

0:00:30.210,0:00:39.170
[WHY DID YOU MOVE IN?][br]Needless to say, I hope we become[br]much popular through Terrace House.

0:00:39.170,0:00:46.620
We're just known by stylish people [br]who love music so far.

0:00:47.270,0:00:49.940
But I hope to become a household name...

0:00:51.220,0:00:59.200
I want to play at a legit domed stadium,[br]not just Budokan.

0:01:00.360,0:01:04.349
Also, I hope to fall in love.

0:01:05.220,0:01:10.420
[WHAT MADE YOU START MUSIC?][br]When I went on a field trip in middle school,[br]I saw a friend playing the guitar,

0:01:10.880,0:01:14.050
and I thought it was cool.

0:01:14.050,0:01:16.780
Then my parents bought a guitar for me.

0:01:17.690,0:01:20.270
When I went to karaoke[br]with my friends from high school,[br]

0:01:20.600,0:01:24.590
Since a lot of students[br]in my high school played in bands,[br]

0:01:25.080,0:01:28.910
they wanted me to try it too.[br]

0:01:28.910,0:01:35.830
They said, "If you can sing with your guitar,[br]it'd be more fun." That's why I started.

0:01:36.800,0:01:45.490
At the beginning, I moved up to Tokyo because[br]I want to be a singer-songwriter like Jack Johnson.

0:01:45.740,0:01:49.710
But 5 years passed where nothing happened.

0:01:50.130,0:01:55.590
Then, I got to know the current members[br]and formed the band.

0:01:56.030,0:02:00.150
According to my research, [br]Jack Johnson actually...

0:02:00.440,0:02:07.140
he's a video director and a surfer as well.

0:02:07.590,0:02:11.220
Plus he cherishes his family, [br]and also he's a musician.

0:02:11.220,0:02:14.000
Music is his last priority.

0:02:14.240,0:02:21.310
Since most people in Japan prioritize work,

0:02:21.560,0:02:24.970
I really admire his lifestyle.

0:02:25.610,0:02:31.080
I want to live like him. [br]That's why I started following him.

0:02:31.320,0:02:34.110
He’s a big influence in my music.

0:02:35.090,0:02:38.740
[ABOUT YOUR PAST RELATIONSHIP][br]My last relationship was 3 months ago.

0:02:39.540,0:02:41.150
My ex is younger than me.

0:02:42.370,0:02:48.300
And she’s gorgeous, like a model.[br]

0:02:48.960,0:02:53.250
But we didn’t really hit it off.

0:02:53.730,0:02:57.070
I try not to use my singing[br]as a way to get girls.

0:02:57.070,0:03:02.300
So I purposely didn’t take her to karaoke [br]before we started dating.[br]

0:03:03.440,0:03:06.070
But people around me found out anyway.

0:03:06.760,0:03:11.030
She unexpectedly showed up to my live show, [br]so at that time I did show off a bit.[br]

0:03:11.640,0:03:20.990
Basically, I want to date someone who sees me[br]as a human, rather than a musician.[br][br]

0:03:22.040,0:03:28.140
[WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL ARTIST LIKE?][br]Generally, musicians in Japan can't[br]be open about their love lives.[br]

0:03:28.250,0:03:33.000
The culture in Japan is to keep [br]personal life separate from work.

0:03:33.000,0:03:34.790
But I’m not like that.

0:03:35.240,0:03:37.790
I’d like to be forthcoming[br]with my love life.

0:03:38.370,0:03:42.970
And if I meet someone who is compatible, [br]I want to get married soon.[br]

0:03:42.990,0:03:47.090
I feel like it’d be a good opportunity for me.

0:03:47.110,0:03:49.875
For better or for worse, [br]Terrace House is an open environment.

0:03:50.420,0:03:57.340
Actually, I want to become a musician [br]that's good to his kids.

0:03:58.500,0:04:05.470
I might become a unique musician[br]in that aspect.

0:04:06.740,0:04:09.400
It'd be fun if I could be [br]that kind of musician...

0:04:09.790,0:04:12.360
and if I end up falling for someone.

0:04:13.060,0:04:15.600
