"Break up caused by meat! Break up caused by meat!" - The official TERRACE HOUSE thread

Interesting. I was wondering how that would go, because Taishi seemed like he could be all about the fantasy and not the reality, or be one of those guys who gets super enthusiastic about a person/relationship, then abruptly becomes disillusioned and drops them. Maybe once he was secure in the relationship he relaxed, because on the show he seemed to put a lot of expectations on the person he was with, as to how she should react to things he did and so on...and just seemed kind of exhausting...well, good for them, I guess.

Married! I don't know why I am so surprised, he seemed pretty focused. 18ish years ago we had a Japanese housemate from Kyushu (mentioned before) for two years while he was doing a postdoc and he randomly had a school friend come visit him where we lived in nowhere PA. Completely normal, basic visit. He went back to Japan after he finished up and they were married within 3 months.

Oh man... just when you thought this season was gonna be dull! Cliffhanger endings! Infighting! Sex! BTS Secrets! Good stuff coming your way.

Also if you like baseball (probably no one on this thread), Kenta Maeda (LA Dodgers pitcher) was the guest panelist on today's episode and he said that his wife went to a Halloween party in LA and Taishi (Guilty Samuria) was there and she took a picture with him and sent it to Maeda (who was pitching in the world series!) and he checked his phone and got super excited lollll

Finally got to the full panel for season 1. It's funny how quickly they all just clicked together.

Ohhhhh, it starts getting amazing right around then. Dyki & Hana moved in ya?

Miwako is there already. I just read she is one of the most popular TH members (instagram followers).

Oh damn, you're pretty far in then.

Miwako is great, she has a cute off-kilter smile. If you remember guest panelist Saito from Aloha State, they did some ads for glico together. As most people were I imagine, I was surprised to see them together on a pasted-up street ad:

And so it ends, kind of differently than you'd think. Some good news ahead for the next season though, don't want to spoil it but it should be a step up after the past 2 seasons.

I am reading way too much about this Enon/Becky scandal right now.

Maeda! is so tall. I can't believe they didn't put out a huge ass armchair for him.

i started this show a couple months ago (Boys & Girls in the City, via netflix) and i watch ultra-slowly, so i'm only up to episode 15.

i will say that episode 14, the one where uchi and minori kiss for the first time, was possibly the finest half an hour of television i have ever seen. it was like nathan for you levels of awkwardness, only real, but sort of not real. unbelievable. i watched half of the episode with hands over my eyes.

Karl Malone, watch as many episodes as possible. I think it's a huge supplement to a westener's sense of manners.

<3 Maeda. Even drafted him on my ILX Fantasy team today!

<3 the story of his wife taking a selfie with Taishi & Chikako and sending it to him while he was playing in the World Series.

B&GitC is so good. Savor it.

I don't know how I feel about this season. Tsubasa/Shion and Seina were the MVPs, I don't think I will remember much else from it. I wish Masao had been on the upcoming season instead.

I was reading an interview with Lauren and didn't realize that they only film in the house a couple of hours a day. So weird.

I am a little obsessed with the white tracksuit with winged sleeves? that You wears near the end.

in this bleak world we need some TH gossip:

Tsubasa broke up with Shion:

so weird that Seina & Noah outlasted them.

also rumors that Taishi & Chikako are over.

!!! I was looking last week and thought I saw something about promise rings between Tsubasa and Shion! What does that instagram post say??? They seemed really weird on the last episode.

oh, f i see it on jezebel now.

The Jezebel translation misses some nuance, sp. that Tsubasa broke up with Shion (ie, her call, perhaps not mutual) but yeah, big surprise!

I am deliberating whether to text the news to my spouse or not. It's so silly but exactly the type of thing he should be made aware of.

I mean, this will be dominating the news cycle for the next few weeks...

first the mueller report, now this. it’s a cruel world, man.

Damn, that sucks. A bleak world gets bleaker

Apparently I am the first person on the Internet to work out that Depparin from Ainori Love Wagon looks like Mads Mikkelsen

At tonight's Dodgers game, Kenta Maeda's pre-at-bat music is "Slow Down" by Lights Follow, the international theme to Terrace House.

New Season (Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020) premieres a week from today.

...in Japan, probably late July for international audiences.

I wonder why they haven't done a place like Kyoto or Osaka?

Just too far to get the same people who would need to commute to Tokyo?

I think for this season they want to capture the energy of the upcoming Olympics.

I have to point out the whole franchise started in Shonan which is several large regions/municipalities away from Tokyo, but definitely commutable. Another thing is I think there has only been a few Osaka cast members (& nobody from Kyoto iirc).

I am still not over Tsubasa and Shion.

Maybe their arc is not over...

Me and imago are just catching up on the sixth part and omg. It’s a full-blown thriller at times.

Yui is the demonic antihero you can't help but root for

Keep watching, lol

Lauren's uncle is New England celeb chef Ming Tsai.

New season is kind of slow to start, feel like everyone is on eggshells after Karuizawa.

...until ep4, which is a real blast, the panel is on fire and the episode ends on some playful drunken dare/confession!

ALSO: Yama-chan has pulled a fast one on everyone, he just got married to actress Yu Aoi after a 2-month engagement:

https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2019/06/05/gazo/20190605s00041000345000p.html

OH congrats to him! He is going to have to change his schtick now.

This damn show made me add a Chvrches song to a playlist... ugh.

There's some good old fashioned drama between the girls already. Nice fight, the panel said that it was the most intense fight yet but they are forgetting the last Tokyo season apparently!

Welp, episode 11 in the new season has a scene that you will never forget lol. i take it the new season is not available on intl netflix yet?

I see a placeholder on Netflix for it but no release date.

I think it is strange Yui and Aio are still together.

Now that Taishi & Chikako have called it quits (+ Frankie & her husband from BGND got divorced!), I think the only two on-screen couples still involved are the highly unlikely Yui/Aio & Seina/Noah from OND.

Someone who was doing some IG-stalking noticed that Ryo (hazel-eyed apparel guy from Aloha State) & Naomi are now an item.

Seina and Noah seemed the most complimentary of couples. I can see them together for awhile.

Do not underestimate Yui! She knows at least three forms of witchcraft

Some mad cute chicks on this show. I think minori’s sister is my favorite
