Yamachan is an excellent judge of character. He is also looking great. Marriage agrees with him.
― Yerac, Monday, 16 September 2019 22:53 (four years ago) link
omg Shohei is an idiot too, this is the most frustrating season of anything ever
― imago, Monday, 16 September 2019 23:42 (four years ago) link
Yamachan marriage reveal was the biggest shock ever on TH! I always hoped that there was some kind of a secret connection between him and Torichan.
And yeah, Shohei appears to have difficulty accepting happiness for himself...

Do you guys get episode 11 yet?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 17 September 2019 01:18 (four years ago) link
**Scrolls up** yes you do! That was a doozy lol.
there are 12 episodes online. we just finished episode 5. SPICYSOL. I don't like this new theme song.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 01:19 (four years ago) link
The one they're using in Japan is OMG THE FIRST NON TAYLOR SWIFT SONG, it's this instead:

I think towards the end of this 12 ep chunk, one of the saddest saps of the TH franchise comes back (he doesn't even live in the house!) and just won't go away.... ugh.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 17 September 2019 01:49 (four years ago) link
Haha we haven't actually seen ep.11 yet, but I think I know who you're talking about. I've seen people really loving him though!
What is the reason for the different theme tunes? And why is the one we get always like some weird eurodance/emo thing (not that I'm complaining)?
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 09:10 (four years ago) link
International licensing. Its why there's a delay in the release in Japan vs the rest of world: editors scrub all the music out & replace it with generic youtube pop/rock.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 17 September 2019 12:11 (four years ago) link
the Japanese theme is much better.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 21:00 (four years ago) link
Lauren Tsai is on Legion? She has very good eyeliner.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 21:01 (four years ago) link
Is she? Good for her! She was such a well-rounded person.
Also omg re: sad sap mentioned above. He’s just showed up (again).
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 21:47 (four years ago) link
I'm on episode 16 and he's STILL HANGING AROUND....
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 17 September 2019 22:05 (four years ago) link
bah, I am spoiling myself and looking who it is because I can only imagine it's one person.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 22:13 (four years ago) link
Nooo not again! They need to bring in like Makun or someone to take him to the beach for surfing lessons.
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 22:19 (four years ago) link
The time they carved out to celebrate yamachan getting married is cute. It's kind of statistically odd? though that he is the first of the panel to marry.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 00:00 (four years ago) link
aren't at least one of tokui and you divorced
― imago, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 00:12 (four years ago) link
It’s crazy that it would have happened after just two months! Especially with him working throughout that time. I wonder if he speaks about it much on his oft-referenced YouTube channel
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 00:24 (four years ago) link
Oh, maybe he's the only one to be currently married then. I see that You is divorced.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 00:54 (four years ago) link
You is twice divorced.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 18 September 2019 01:07 (four years ago) link
We’re just heading in to the fabled 11th episode. I hope it’s a good one because these housemates are maddening so far! If you have to change your mind so many times, then it’s possible there could be a match for you in the world somewhere outside of these three people.
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 20:42 (four years ago) link
The only one that I so far think is fine is Kaori.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 20:55 (four years ago) link
Yeah, she seems very much like someone you could easily be friends with.
I’m not totally sure which event in episode 11 is the big one, but for me the scene with Shohei was totally shocking in comparison with the usual flow of things in the house.
This season is giving me a lot of existential anxiety and feelings of regret in general so far haha

bingo!

Just finished ep16 and it was great. If you feel like the first 12 eps are dragging, just wait til ep 15 and you can feel the build happening.

i am surprised they showed this pink film that shohei was cast in.

Panelist Tokui Yoshimi recently admitted to a scandal (tax evasion, roughly $1M USD) and via his agency has announced he is suspending all entertainment appearances indefinitely. Looks like he will leave (temporarily or permanent?) from TH starting around episode 23... ep 22 just aired today in Japan.
He is an undeniable face/voice/mood of Terrace House, so I'm not sure who they will get to replace him, but it should be a reasonable talent given the rising international popularity of the show.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 02:06 (four years ago) link
whoaaaa... so much panelist drama this season.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 02:10 (four years ago) link
they should have kept him, would add to the sketchy old man vibe lol
― imago, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 02:13 (four years ago) link
Which one is he - the guy with glasses? Or the other one?

He is the younger woman who is half austrian.

Rui should take over the open spot on TH. OMG.

Whereabouts are you? The current cast is insane... it gets crazier and crazier.

Netflix just released episodes 13-24. I think we got up to episode 17-18 last night.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 25 December 2019 14:22 (four years ago) link
I didn't get Shohei. I imagined he was an escort or something as a side gig since they were always so weird about him.
― Yerac, Thursday, 26 December 2019 01:18 (four years ago) link
He was indeed a trip, we viewers got kind of peek behind the curtain when he & Kaori let down their guard/kayfabe and Kaori admitted she could see how it could be perceived that she was engaged to her agent and that Shohei was uncommitted but was sleeping around a lot.

Ah, another basketball player (Ryo) that gets an omg. So far he seems to be as competent and attractive level as Hansan.
― Yerac, Friday, 27 December 2019 19:26 (four years ago) link
Ryo is a gem. Have you heard him speaking English yet?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 27 December 2019 21:27 (four years ago) link
the Netflix translations end on a cliffhanger to the best romance TH has seen in a long time (please don't spoil!) - it has been destroying me! i think it should be okay to say that Haruka's journey from weird date-jacking misanthrope to the giddy, tongue-tied beneficent lovestruck creature she is now is an amazing journey - she definitely stands in the running for all-time Most Improved Housemate
and as for her prince...
but
argh cliffhanger
say nothing
― imago, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 01:07 (four years ago) link
and yeah fun stuff is bubbling up with the others
― imago, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 01:08 (four years ago) link
Has he spoken a lot of english on the show? xpost
Ruka watching himself on tv was brutal.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 01:13 (four years ago) link
a bit funny though
― imago, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 02:22 (four years ago) link
There's an episode where there is so much English spoken (by 3-4 members) that the subs are only present 50% of the time. Might be after the cliffhanger though... It's getting pretty great post where the international chunk stops...
Today's episode was lowkey amazing, the person you think is least likely to be an incredibly kind/empathetic/bearer of excellent advice steals the show.

I was at a kids bday party this weekend. My wife's friend's older sister mentioned to my wife that her 20 year old daughter (a model, now living in Tokyo) is dating someone who is/was a cast member from Terrace House. That is all the information that she was able to get from her, this person doesn't know anything about the show other than very surface details. Will try to follow up with more info at a later date.
