[COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS]
-
[Interview with a new member]
-
I’m Aya Matarai, 20 years old, currently a third-year student
at Atomi University.
-
I’m studying at the Faculty of Literature,
Department of Contemporary Culture and Representation.
-
We can study about fashion and image expression.
-
We make a magazine from scratch in a class.
-
I'm working on it in my study group.
There are a lot of practical classes.
-
[WHAT'S YOUR LIFE LIKE?]
Usually after classes, I work part-time.
-
I work part-time at my parents’ Korean barbecue restaurant
and at a nearby Japanese bar.
-
During the weekends as well,
I work at both all day.
-
Because I like to work so much
and rarely hang out with my friends.
-
They tell me, “You’re a hard worker”.
-
[WHAT MADE YOU COME TO TERRACE HOUSE?]
The main reason I wanted to move
into Terrace House was to find love.
-
I've dated with 3 boyfriends.
My first relationship was when I was 18 years old.
-
All 3 boyfriends I’ve had were older than me.
They were 2 years, 4 years, and 14 years older.
-
I tend to be unable to see anything else around me
when I’m into someone,
-
and they were always my first priority at the time.
-
My mom warned me not to do that every time.
-
I want to consider my own well-being while also having
a relationship that everyone can acknowledge.
-
While romance was one reason for coming,
another was job hunting...
-
there are a lot of different people in Terrace House, right?
-
I want to absorb their experience and viewpoints,
-
and from there I hope that will help me find
the job that suits me best.
-
[HAVE YOU LIVED WITH STRANGERS?]
I have never lived apart from my family before,
-
and I’ve only done house chores
while helping my mom,
-
so living with strangers fills me with anxiety.
-
Since I went to girls schools
from junior high through to university,
-
I’m also worried that I won’t be able to
get along with guys very well.
-
[ARE YOU GOOD AT COOKING?]
Yes, I am.
-
When I want to eat something,
I often make it by myself.
-
My specialty?
-
My ex said that the tastiest thing
I made was Chicken Nanban.
-
[WILL YOU COOK FOR A GUY?]
I want to ask the guy I like what he likes to eat,
-
and cook it up like it's no big deal.
-
[ARE YOUR ASSERTIVE TO A GUY?]
I’m quite assertive and direct
when it comes to guys I like.
-
I’ll ask someone out, like, ”When are you free?
Can you take me for lunch?"
-
I don’t have a driver’s license.
-
Like, "Can you take me for a drive?“
I want to get closer to him like that at first.
-
When I fall in love with a guy,
of course I want him to be my boyfriend.
-
I would say things like, “I want you to confess to me.”
-
[WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL CONFESSION?]
-
I'd want him to tell me his feelings in front of the sea
or somewhere with a great atmosphere.
-
[WHAT'S YOUR TYPE?]
I like manly guys who are tanned, muscular,
and have mustaches.
-
Also I like guys who have a manly personality.
-
Someone who everyone acknowledge he is manly,
-
not wishy washy.
-
Also I like manly guys who carry themselves firmly
and who can express themselves clearly.
-
[WHO DO YOU LIKE OUT OF THE CURRENT MEMBERS?]
Taka is the best.
-
He looks good but when he shaved his mustache,
-
even though he didn’t look very manly,
he was kinda innocent which I thought was cute.
-
I’m attracted by the stark contrast
between his manly and cute side.
