Original subtitles

Good evening.

Good evening.

In this show...

six strangers live together under one roof.

All the show has provided...

is a nice house and nice cars.

As always, there is no script.

-None at all. -None at all.

So, last week...

What was last week...?

Right, Kenken and Ryoko-chan.

There's something I'm thinking of telling her.

There it is!

Once you come back?

If I expected that to happen,

and it ended up being different,

that would be rough, so I won't think that.

He'll definitely tell her his feelings.

-With something important to tell her. -This will definitely be a confession.

-Right? As expected. -We can finally see one of those!

How many months has it been?

We haven't seen a couple for a while!

Also, I want to know the result of his game.

I'm afraid of the result.

There it is!

-Omi-kun is thinking that it's... -The Omi-radar.

If he was completely beaten and came back home,

he might think he has no time to be dating someone now.

I'm worried about that.

If it were a complete loss, that might happen,

like if his swim shorts were pulled off.

Like he's able to score the points, but his swim shorts are pulled off.

Also, there's the issue of Earth's break-up...

That, too!

Frankie designed their flyer,

and he became much cooler.

Everyone worked together to help out.

We also understood why Tecchan's always sleeping.

-He's tired. -Yeah, he's tired.

For a pretty intense performance,

he appeared in an important role.

-He practiced those backflips so many times. -That was amazing.

It's just that Tecchan seems a bit busy with work,

so he's been fading into the background.

Well, that can't be helped. His main job is more important.

Even while still going in between Ma-kun and Seina-san.

And with those two,

it seems that they haven't contacted each other since the skirt incident.

I do feel...

that I'd like to fix the current situation with our relationship.

There's no way such trendiness could end so quietly, right?

There's still so many more trendy things that they need to do.

-So much. -Like going together...

to see Ma-kun's elementary school that he went to.

So trendy!

That sort of thing happens as a trendy scene.

She's born trendy,

and so, she must die trendy, right?

Right, that's exactly it.

How do you search for it?

"Water polo," right?

"Water polo"?

Yeah.

He said it was the World League.

And so here... where are we supposed to look?

There's so much here.

-We don't care about the rule changes. -Poseidon!

-Oh, what, what, what? -Around here, right?

-World League. -That's it, right?

In the recent news...

Oh, oh, oh?

They're losing to the USA.

Hold on a second.

What, what!?

Huh?

They're also losing to Australia.

-Oh, no. -Oh?

They're also losing to China. And losing to Kazakhstan.

What?!

-All losses? -Yeah, all losses.

But...

Oh, there! "Tomorrow's match will be at 3pm local time

against Canada. If we win tomorrow,

we'll have a chance to continue to the Super Finals,

and we'll remain until games on the final day."

-Oh! So, tomorrow. -They just need to win against Canada tomorrow.

Kenya-kun must be pretty stressed now.

-Since their team keeps losing. -Yeah.

Isn't this the right time, then?

-For a message of encouragement. -Got it.

It would make sense to send a little something.

-Won't he get distracted? -No...

Since I didn't do it until now, maybe it'll be annoying.

Wouldn't it help him focus? If he got that.

If it were just a quick message, I'd be happy, at least.

-Just a "good luck!" -For example, if tomorrow...

were a final comedy competition-- I mean, I've never been to one, but,

-if that were the case... -I'd be happy for her to come watch,

but if I got a message right then, I'd be happy.

I see.

-Let's start! -Thank you very much.

MIREI TOUYAMA SINGER

-Thanks for your hard work. -Same to you.

-Thanks for letting me paint you. -Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Okay, Mirei-chan, if you could sit over here.

It's bold!

Yeah.

There's not much time, so it has to be like this.

MASAKO MASUDA PRODUCER

Okay.

Is this alright?

It looks good.

Very cool, very cool.

It looks good. Turn this way.

Wow!

Very cool.

Oh. wow!

Wow.

Good luck. Thank you very much.

Ready... and... Action!

SONY MUSIC RECORDS YOTSUYA, TOKYO

I had Frankie come visit,

and do body paint for us.

-For Mirei-chan? -Yeah, for Mirei.

That Frankie? Really?

← TOMOYO YASUDA, PRODUCER YUKAKO SATO, DIRECTOR →

-Yes. -Wow.

Did it work? -It was amazing.

There's something we want to ask other than work talk.

What will you do if you're confessed to?

-I'm asking very frankly, I know. -Well...

-You're not sure? -I don't know.

-You don't know? -No.

Why not?

I want to be doing my best here with work at the company,

but it might look like I'm just playing around.

People might think I'm prioritizing romance.

-People might say that? -I'm worried people will say that.

That's pretty insignificant.

Isn't that really unimportant?

It made me think.

I really understand that right now is the time where...

I should be working the hardest I can.

But being told something like that by one person,

that person will probably find something else to pick on. They just want to find something negative.

So you don't need to worry about that to begin with.

Since this is work, it's not like these people are your friends.

-That's true. -You should go for it,

and if something good comes from it, that would be great.

Romance means to work together.

And so, if you can talk with Kenken about things that you want to discuss, without holding back,

then you could have romance where you both can grow.

Right now, it seems like it's not at that stage yet.

-I'm back. Oh, Frankie! -Let's go!

Welcome back.

I'm back.

How's practice? Going well?

The number of days left 'til the show is getting smaller.

So there's a bit of panic in me.

I see.

Not even two weeks left?

Yeah, only 10 more days.

I see. By the way, the other day,

remember when you went out to eat with Ma-kun?

Do you remember you said something like,

Ma-kun wasn't that angry, and it was a misunderstanding?

-Yeah, I did say he wasn't that angry. -And then, after that,

I was wondering if I should tell Seina-san or not...

Well, I told her.

Oh!?

-Really? -Sorry.

The reason I thought it was better to not say anything was because...

the day we went out to eat, he was already leaving to go abroad.

He's probably still there now. He said he'd be away for about 2 weeks.

I thought it'd make sense to talk about it once he came back.

I see.

What did Seina-san say?

She said she wants to fix their relationship,

but she wasn't sure how to go about doing it.

If it's to fix things, then I think it's really easy to do.

I think it can get fixed with just, "I said too much that time. I'm sorry."

I see.

That day when they talked and when she came back,

she was worried if he now hated her.

So she must have just felt mad in the moment.

Yeah, so it'd be better if they talked...

in a more relaxed environment.

-Oh, no. -The matches are not...

He's still trying his best right now.

They said it was all losses, right?

I'm worried about Kenken's psyche.

But in terms of a confession, those are two different things.

They're different.

I'm just worried that...

Ryoko-chan is being very negative.

"If I fall for him, then I might neglect my work."

I don't understand that at all.

What is that about?

I also don't get it.

You two don't seem like you'd get it.

Wouldn't it multiply your effectiveness?

Yeah, you would think so.

She might be the type who thinks

that if she has time she spends on dates,

-then she should instead have used it to prepare for work. -She might think that afterwards.

If she's like that, then in her head, she should be able to switch modes,

and then whenever it's time for work, she can fully put her focus into that.

Shouldn't that be possible?

But it was just as Omi-kun predicted.

You're really spot-on.

Seriously.

-What's with that, Omi? -It's impressive.

-It's scary. -What's up with that?

Oh, right.

Tomorrow, Kenya's coming back, right?

-Tomorrow? -Isn't he?

-It's tomorrow, right? -Yeah.

It's been so long.

-Apparently, they won today. -They won today?

Since they won a match, does that mean they can go to the finals?

-Not that. -I guess not.

Today they won, but they lost yesterday.

The day before that, they had something like,

if they win the next day, then they might be able to go to the finals, right?

Apparently, they lost that match.

-So, things were looking pretty down... -Right.

...but they won today.

Did you get any texts directly from Kenya?

-None at all. -Oh, I see...

Because I sent to him, "No response necessary."

-Oh, I see. -Yeah.

-So, this means in the preliminaries... -They've lost at the preliminaries.

I wonder what mood he'll come back with.

Yeah, that's a little...

Yeah...

I have no idea.

Yeah.

I see...

SHINJUKU, TOKYO

Production JINRIKISHA

How is it coming along?

We're thinking of doing 4 skits.

MARI MISEKI MANAGER

Two short stories,

MAGU MANPEI COMEDIAN

one two-man dialogue,

-And one more... -Maybe one more skit.

So 3 skits in all.

Three skits.

How are the ticket sales going?

Right now, we're doing e-mail reservations, and we've gotten quite a bit.

-That's great to hear. -So we'll have to have a lottery,

and probably turn some people away.

-We're really grateful for that, still. -I bet.

Have you two been meeting and making material?

We have been meeting.

We're cutting it really close, so we're really going to have to...

go all out 'til the last minute.

That's what we'll have to do.

Let's do the dishes later.

Let's wash the cups, at least?

The cheese smells bad.

It's natto.

Oh, it's natto? So fermented!

It's fermented.

That's what it does.

It's all covered in juices.

What, seriously?

I'm back.

Welcome back!

-Welcome back! -I'm back.

It's your welcome-back suit!

-You're right. -Welcome back.

-You seem really tired. -You're so tired.

It was heavy.

-Do you wanna drink something? -No, I'm okay.

-Water? -Water...

-Thanks. -Here you go.

Isn't this okay for now?

Okay.

-Let's do it later. -Yeah.

Welcome back.

-I'm back. -Welcome back. Good work.

-I'm back. -Cheers to a long day!

Good work, all. Cheers!

Cheers!

Yeah...

To sum it up...

We couldn't make it to the real thing. We lost...

I'm sorry, everyone. I know you were all rooting for me.

No, no.

Yeah...

It was really close in the matches.

There were a lot where if we had won, we could have proceeded.

So, with that, the shock is pretty big.

Even now, I'm still thinking about what we were lacking.

I really feel I have to improve my performance.

I realized I need to practice much more, with this.

Sorry for being so down.

Not at all.

When's your next match?

The next important one is...

the Asia tournament in September.

In September.

-Good luck! -I'll try my best.

Yeah.

Ippei's late.

Yeah.

Has it been like this lately?

Yeah, he's been late these days.

So he's been working hard. Working on material?

Tecchan, your performance is soon, right?

Yeah.

Tecchan, too.

At the final stage.

I can't come to it.

I see.

Are you going somewhere again?

We have a game with my team in Wakayama.

-I see. Good luck! -You're so busy.

I think I'll go to sleep soon.

I'm going to work on the piece I've been working on before bed.

-That sounds good. -Yeah.

-Let's go upstairs. -Sure.

-Is that okay? -Of course.

-Is that alright? -Go ahead.

Oh? This is the end of the episode, right?

It's not time for the end yet, not at all.

-It's not time for the end at all. -It's not?

Oh, I see.

Where shall we sit? Over there?

Alright.

KENYA YASUDA, 25 YEARS OLD LAST RELATIONSHIP: 14 MONTHS AGO

RYOKO HIRASAWA, 24 YEARS OLD LAST RELATIONSHIP: 8 MONTHS AGO

Yeah, so as for current situation,

-with what we talked about downstairs... -Yeah.

You know how I said I had something important to say?

I thought I was going to convey my feelings.

-To say that I liked you. -Yeah.

But then I went there, and I lost,

and it made me think a lot about myself...

And I realized I can't go on just as I am now.

My dream is to go to the Olympics,

and so I'll need to work hard at water polo to accomplish that goal.

That's the highest priority to me right now.

But the fact that I'm interested in you,

and that I want to know more about you...

That was not a lie. I still think that now.

But, what I need to be doing now,

is focus on water polo. That's what I realized when I went to this tournament.

I want you to be able to watch me working my hardest,

so I'll do my best.

Yes, do your best.

Sorry for talking so much on my own.

Not at all, not at all.

But, I really feel...

that I need to work a lot harder.

It's painful, though.

Yeah...

It was painful for me, too.

I'm sorry, I had no idea about any of this...

I think I probably haven't conveyed everything,

but these are my honest feelings.

I felt I needed to let you know this.

Yeah.

Alright, good night.

Yeah.

You were right again.

-Yeah, seriously. -Wow.

No one thinks they're going to go lose, right?

-When you go off to a game. -That's true.

If you're crushed that badly and then come home,

then I think your feelings would change.

Omi-kun, you've become like Terrace House's god of death.

If these were the European Middle Ages, then your village would be chatting about you.

"What should we do? Should we chase him out?"

Does this mean they're not going to happen?

-That's not necessarily the case. -I don't think it won't happen.

It's not impossible.

It's just that they've postponed becoming official, right? Simply put.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

So for now, can they not send each other texts?

They can't text each other anymore?

No, it's totally fine!

What? Do you have someone like that right now, Triendl?

No, that's not it!

Tori-chan, you seem to be asking really specific questions.

I was wondering maybe you did.

It's fine if they keep messaging each other like good friends

like they've been doing 'til now, right?

It's just that if they continue like they were before,

with that excitement Ryoko-chan had from before,

-she might be unsure what to do with it. -I see.

I think it's fine if she shows a little excitement.

Yeah, so it depends on how Ryoko-chan takes it.

Maybe she'll be that super-negative young woman.

I wonder if she might avoid him, all of a sudden.

So when they're talking, too,

the time when they used to be sort of flirting back and forth,

she might think, "Isn't this just something else that's wasting my time?"

"This isn't fun anymore. Being with him isn't fun."

It might become like that. Oh? So maybe this will end.

Why did you smile, just now?

-Did I smile? -You were!

-I was smiling? -Right after you said it might end.

-Your lips went up. -You were totally smiling.

I'm such dirt.

What did you guys talk about?

Well...

You know how I said I was going to tell her something important?

I thought when I came back,

I would convey my feelings to Ryo-chan.

That I like her.

But right now, I want to focus on water polo.

-I see. -Yeah.

-I see... -Yeah...

So you would have thought differently, if things had gone well with the matches?

-In terms of Ryo-chan? -I think so.

-I don't think I can do both. -I see.

I don't want to just go with whoever,

when it comes to girlfriends or anything, but I will always go to water polo.

So I lose the ability to see anything else.

It would be great if I could see both.

And I thought I could, up until before I left.

Tecchan, when you're performing,

you don't think about romance either?

I don't.

I don't have space to think about that sort of thing now.

But once I have that sort of space, then...

-You'll go for it? -Yeah, whenever.

I see.

But I wonder if you'll ever get that space,

if you do that sort of work.

That's a good point.

So by saying that he wanted to express his feelings,

that's surely a positive thing, right?

-Isn't it? -Yeah, I think so.

I think he meant it in a positive way before,

but I don't know about now.

He now feels that he needs to work hard with water polo and practice more,

and he feels more strongly about that. But still, doesn't he also want you...

to watch him improve?

Maybe that's it.

Isn't he, very soon, going to Wakayama? He mentioned it before.

He said he has a match in Wakayama.

Wouldn't that be nice to see?

What!?

Wouldn't it be good?

You haven't seen one of his matches yet, right?

I haven't yet. I really want to go see.

That'd be great!

And then when he sees you,

-won't that help him work harder? -But I'd want to go as a secret.

Don't you think I might distract him?

You really like him, don't you? Waiting for him like that.

Yeah, really!

You should go and surprise him!

To Wakayama? Wouldn't that be creepy?

It wouldn't be, not at all.

If you go see a match,

then you can talk with him about that right on the spot, right?

Yeah.

Until now,

you haven't really been able to talk with him about water polo.

But if you're able to see that part of him,

then you two would become closer, and you'd be able to talk about much more, right?

This is great! This is great!

This is her one chance!

Ryo-chan, you really need to go.

That's the worst possible advice!

No, it works in the world of trendy!

-It's fine if she goes secretly, though, right? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What if she's found...?

-But the cameras will go with her. -That's true.

Oh, right.

How about they use those cameras from back in the day?

But for there to be cameras there, it could just be...

-to record Kenken's match, no? -What were these, CCDs?

If you had something like this, you'd definitely stand out.

This is definitely no good, right? Definitely not.

If you loudly went all-out, that'd be bad...

Yeah, no good if you're out shouting, "Kenken!!"

-But I think Ryoko-chan probably won't do that. -Seina-san seems like she'd come along.

She'd wear sunglasses like Tom Cruise,

-and wear a huge hat. That's what I'd imagine. -Right, right.

And she'd sit in the stands like this.

Like a widow at a funeral.

And Kenken would be like, "Why is there this old lady dressed like a widow there?"

That's what trendy fashion is like!

-Oh no, is she really going? -She'll probably go.

I think it'd be better if she doesn't go.

But she said she'd go as a secret, if she decides to go.

If he wins then, it could be fine.

As long as she isn't too flirty, then it should be fine.

-When his teammates aren't around... -She'd quietly...?

Yeah, quietly peek in, or see him.

Though if I were his teammate, I'd be watching this show.

If it were you.

I'd watch the show and, really,

I'd tell him every time he messed up.

Like, "While you were back at the house,

weren't you taking a long enough break?"

Go drown somewhere, seriously.

Just drown once.

-What? -At the bottom of a deep, deep pool.

-It's deep where they play. -It's surprisingly deep.

-So for next week's trendiness... -Whether we'll see it is up to her, herself.

That's true.
