Assuming this thread can act as a catch-all for Japanese reality television, it seems right to announce here that the new Ainori Love Wagon: African Journey is now up on Netflix! We watched most of it elsewhere - just three episodes remain. It is as harrowing and compelling as ever.

four weeks pass...

JFC that was the most harrowing episode ever. There's no way the rest of the house will be the same from here on out.

...worse than the Cheri blow-up in Aloha State, worse than the Misaki-Natsumi fight in BGitC, with just some added dread & anxiety & just sheer cringe.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 04:17 (four years ago) link

I haven't seen the last couple episodes of the Tokyo season, but I did want to thank you Al for recommending the BGND season, which was indeed hard to find but has been a godsend in these stressful times. We watched about 5 episodes a night, finishing with Closing Door yesterday, and it blows the Tokyo season away. Just seems a matter of good fortune/good casting that several of the initial group end up with such strong connections with each other, that it set the tone for the house the whole series. I think it's evidenced by the fact that former cast members visit back a lot - their bonds seem much stronger than the friendships in the newest season. Of course, it was also a much longer period of time. Tecchan's journey in particular was also really great to watch

:-)

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:49 (four years ago) link

Yikes, yes that was an intense episode. And not between the characters I was expecting

Vinnie, Thursday, 2 April 2020 14:42 (four years ago) link

Vinnie, you will be happy you binged BGND before today's episode... surprisingly loving, wholesome and touching tribute from seemingly out of nowhere. Washed the nasty taste of last week's episode away.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 6 April 2020 23:37 (four years ago) link

ohh, i think we get the new section tomorrow.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 00:29 (four years ago) link

I feel very remiss that I never finished the first series.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 00:29 (four years ago) link

I'm thinking of watching it again!

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 00:33 (four years ago) link

Finish it Yerac! I think some of the best moments happen near the end. Perfect for these times

Vinnie, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 00:41 (four years ago) link

it's so hard streaming/downloading it sometimes. we forget about it. I keep hoping they get it on netflix to make it easy. I have no clue where I am in it. i probably just have to look back in this thread to figure it out because we never ended up picking it back up.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 00:46 (four years ago) link

uh.. Uke seems to have gone on a regiment after the last series of episodes.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 00:49 (four years ago) link

eden kai.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 00:49 (four years ago) link

Agree that it was really difficult to find the last few episodes of the first season, but we managed in the end. Tecchan was one of the all-time housemates.

New season part up, hooray! I have no idea if the allusions ARB is making will reveal themselves in this part or next? It showed up as a next play after finishing Sion Sono's 'Forest of Love', which was...ominous?

tangenttangent, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 21:11 (four years ago) link

Well especially as the main character looked a bit like Tokui, who has *dramatic music* mysteriously vanished! ;)

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 21:12 (four years ago) link

Episode 38 is the one that was very dark and super negative. Episode 39 aired yesterday and was much better. The new housemate is a throwback (in many ways) to the original vibe of BGND.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 21:38 (four years ago) link

The stuff we're mentioning will be part 4, but part 3 was very engrossing!

Was the new housemate in 39 ever featured incidentally in a previous season? Seems like he might have been, given his ties to previous cast. Yes, the tribute in the last ep was nice. I hadn't even known he died until I started looking up the BGND cast to see what they're doing now. Seems like Oji had the highest-profile career of the bunch!

Vinnie, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 02:13 (four years ago) link

Also, I noticed that a couple housemates in the last episode wore masks inside without mentioning being sick and I'm wondering if we're running into when they would have been aware of COVID...

Vinnie, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 02:15 (four years ago) link

just reached Kai's stand-up show, and tbh, if anything in a later episode is more harrowing than that, then it should probably be taken off Netflix for the common good

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:07 (four years ago) link

in my post above, i was referencing eden kai's current instagram. he looks different.

Yerac, Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:19 (four years ago) link

awww Ruka had such a good ending.

Yerac, Friday, 10 April 2020 00:19 (four years ago) link

we have reached Kai's second stand-up and I want him kicked off the show. I want Yamachan to personally haul him out of Terrace House by the collar and chuck his belongings out of the window after him

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Friday, 10 April 2020 19:52 (four years ago) link

the men in the house right now (ep 35) are a weird creep, the worst fucking comedian in history and some pathetic dweeb who's probably also a creep. get rid of them all and bring back peppe or just find someone to love hana ;_; ffs

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Friday, 10 April 2020 19:58 (four years ago) link

ah OK fine I guess I approve

but your stand-up, it has to go

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Friday, 10 April 2020 20:15 (four years ago) link

ok, i just realize there is a guy named Kai and not just Eden Kai. Only past 3 episodes of the new batch.

Yerac, Friday, 10 April 2020 20:17 (four years ago) link

it was awesome how fast yamachan ID'd Tupas.

Yerac, Friday, 10 April 2020 20:18 (four years ago) link

Prepare yourself for a stand-up routine you won't forget (x2)

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Friday, 10 April 2020 20:45 (four years ago) link

oh just wait... can't say anymore...

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 10 April 2020 22:06 (four years ago) link

We are forging ahead via Facebook links

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Friday, 10 April 2020 23:23 (four years ago) link

Yes, join us on the dark side, imago

Vinnie, Friday, 10 April 2020 23:53 (four years ago) link

OK fuck I don't know how episode 38 could even be more harrowing than episode 37 but holy shit these are some dark, dark men, get rid omg

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Saturday, 11 April 2020 00:10 (four years ago) link

I did have a moment like you while watching 37 where I realized how terrible the guys are. I guess we haven't seen much of the third guy yet

Vinnie, Saturday, 11 April 2020 00:12 (four years ago) link

Dear God, what a nightmare of a human being. A red-flavoured milkshake nightmare

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Saturday, 11 April 2020 01:00 (four years ago) link

Terrace House has suspended filming...noooooooo.

Yerac, Monday, 13 April 2020 15:01 (four years ago) link

and how has no one told Kai that he should not be a comedian? I don't even know what that was.

Yerac, Monday, 13 April 2020 15:02 (four years ago) link

how many episodes did it get up to before everything was suspended?

kai was obviously always an idiot stoner wastrel who should never have gotten through vetting

ban laggy jazzer (imago), Monday, 13 April 2020 15:04 (four years ago) link

40 episodes.

And Ryo totally had a gf outside of the house right?

Yerac, Monday, 13 April 2020 15:06 (four years ago) link

you sir, are no Hansan.

Yerac, Monday, 13 April 2020 15:08 (four years ago) link

They've filmed at least a month more, based on people who saw the cast still filming scenes outside the house in mid-March, but I guess we won't see it. I expect this season will not continue even after they can film again. Shame, because I liked the direction things were going in episode 40

Vinnie, Thursday, 16 April 2020 14:14 (four years ago) link

I want to discuss this conspiracy about Ryo and Emika but maybe it's addressed in the next four episodes that I need to watch.

Yerac, Thursday, 16 April 2020 14:18 (four years ago) link

two weeks pass...

TH conference call backgrounds anyone?

Good news, the broadcasting of the 4 shelved pre-COVID19 episodes from the current 8-episode block will resume today through June 2nd.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 11 May 2020 13:53 (four years ago) link

Shacho... lol @ this guy.

Stardom fans,

Please be respectful and allow some time for things to process, and keep your thoughts and prayers with her family and friends.

We appreciate your support during this difficult time.

unbelievably awful news. heartbreaking

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 23 May 2020 05:04 (four years ago) link

goddamn

reading into this, i’m actually a little taken back to find out that she received a wave of hate online. i’m partial to wrestling but she was one of my faves.

rip

(⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Saturday, 23 May 2020 05:51 (four years ago) link

i wonder if they even show the last two eps now...

(⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Saturday, 23 May 2020 05:56 (four years ago) link

Wow that's horrible. I know she takes a lot of shit online from TH fans, and I didn't really understand why. Very sad that it got to this point. I'm also wondering if they should just not show the last two episodes now

Vinnie, Saturday, 23 May 2020 06:11 (four years ago) link

Fuck, that is so terrible and unbelievable.

tangenttangent, Saturday, 23 May 2020 10:34 (four years ago) link

yes :(

it seems like a lot of people hated her for her fight with Kai, which is...astonishing to me
