[COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS]
[Interview with a new member]
Nice to meet you. I'm Violetta.
In Japan, I go by "Vivi."
I'm 24, and I'm a model and actress.
I'm from Russia. I was raised there in Russia,
but my dad's German, so that makes me half-German, half-Russian.
I graduated high school, then came to Japan.
I went to a language school to learn Japanese,
and after nine months, I started going to a Japanese college.
So it's been a total of six years for me in Japan now.
[THE REASON YOU CAME TO JAPAN] I came because of Bunka Fashion School.
[THE REASON YOU CAME TO JAPAN] I wanted to study fashion.
At the time, I knew nothing at all about Japan.
Japan was the most... special choice?
I figured I'd learn the most there, so I chose Japan.
My dream changed at some point, though.
It changed from fashion designer to being an actress.
But even back when I wanted to be the former,
I really wanted to go to Hollywood and make beautiful fashion designs for the famous.
But somewhere along the way,
instead of wanting to make fashion for such people,
I wanted to be such a person.
Up until this point, I was probably too scared to tell myself that.
While I was studying a bunch of things, I was working on my confidence.
Before I turn 30, I hope to land a good role.
Not just a good role, but many.
[REASON FOR MOVING TO TERRACE HOUSE] Recently... my life has been super routine.
Work, then home. Work, then home.
All by myself, I was-- Well, I live with my cat,
but there were times where I got lonely.
And I didn't have a boyfriend this whole time.
At Terrace House, everyone's... living together. There's six of them, guys and girls...
It may be hard for me, since I've been living by myself all this time,
I've had my own habits.
I've gotten by, not having to worry about anything or anyone.
So because of that, it'd be kind of rough for me at first,
but I thought it'd be so much fun.
And I could possibly end up with a boyfriend, too.
I've never seen Terrace House before.
So I have no idea who I'll be living with.
All I can do is to look forward to it.
So I really hope there's a hot guy there.
I'm so simple-minded, aren't I?
[YOUR FAVORITE TYPE] My type... I don't really have one.
Looks-wise or otherwise.
But maybe, charismatic? I like someone who's got self-confidence.
Not like narcissistic, or a playboy,
but just someone who simply knows what they want to do,
or is really clear about what they like and don't like,
those who are sure of themselves... I guess that's what I'm most into.
So I really like trying new things,
like, for example, pottery? I really want to try that these days.
So I really would love someone to go with me.
[RELATIONSHIP HISTORY] All of my exes have been older than me.
5 years older, 8 years older, and 4 years older.
So that makes three. I just spilled all the beans.
"Not casual" would be how I'd simply describe them.
The most recent guy I was interested in was twenty years older than me.
We weren't going out, though.
So, this really weird thing happened.
So I thought we were going out. Things were really good between us.
So I figured we were already basically going out!
He told me he loved me, and we were all like...
like that.
But then, all of a sudden, one day,
he told me there was another one like me in the picture. Another girl.
Apparently, he was already in a relationship with her for the past year.
I was like, "You're so rotten!!"
I had believed that this was a love like from Titanic or The Notebook.
So I was like, "This can't be happening!"
"You're such scum!" That's what I thought about him and the whole situation.
But now I've come back down to reality.
[WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU MOVE IN?] I'm expecting a lot.
[WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU MOVE IN?] I'm really expecting a lot of things.
Well, actually, I'm more just looking forward to things.
First of all, I'd like to get along with everybody.
And have a lot of fun days with everyone.
Like, eat out together, cook meals at the house together,
see some movies, and get really close to everyone.
