Just dropping by to say that I met Seina last night - she was pleasant and it certainly helped that I spoke Japanese. Posed for a photo together and went on her way - great night!

I just saw Seina has been missing since last night according to the news. What did you do with her, you monster? You Snuffleupagus!
I'm just jealous
I'm about 7 episodes into Aloha State at the moment and really not feeling it. There are big gaps between when I decide to watch episodes. In comparison I couldn't drag myself away from Boys & Girls in the City. Should I just skip the entire thing and move onto Opening New Doors?
I'll stick with it for now I guess. Don't really want to jump in at the very end and probably not know anyone.
Maybe it's just losing that Japan hook along with the first group of people not making much of an impression on me like the In the City group did.

The starting cast of Aloha State might be the worst in the history of Terrace House. Still I think Aloha State picks up around the middle of part 2 (after Guy and Taisha join), and it turns into great during the last part 4. As I said before overall I thought it was really good.
Edit: Looking back at that starting cast I think I only liked Avian and Lauren. At the start I thought Eric might turn out to be interesting, but the only interesting thing he ever did, he did after he left the show. Also I just remembered how bad Wez was (he comes in towards the end of part 3 I think). Useless...
Honestly Aloha State has some of the best work from the hosts. The whole Guilty Samurai thing makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Eric became worth it right at the end when the commentators finally saw his pop up cafe and how crap it looked.
I may have fallen back into the Terrace House hole after complaining this morning. I'm now on Part 3 ep 3.
Ok then I just finished watching Aloha State. Thanks for forcing me to carry on!

One of those members with no redeeming qualities.
Legit the worst TH member in history tbh
Hey don't badmouth the greatest rapper on Earth (but yeah he was shit too)
Oh I'm sure I'll go download that Instagram song right away :P
I'm just now watching part 6 and all I know is I desperately want that Sweatshirt that Maya is wearing when she goes to watch Risoka modeling. The screengrab of E.T dressed as a woman. Random as hell but I loved it.
Cheri was on some shadyyyy shit
did anyone else wonder if she was
incredible
did anyone else wonder if she was
high-end hooking??? That was the vibe i was getting lol
incredible
Yeah, I got that vibe as well. I'm fine with that, but I also think she has some kind of narcissistic personality disorder, to be honest.
Im still working my way through Opening New Doors at the moment. Onto part 5 so far. I'm enjoying it but it does feel like the location holds them back a bit with either not too much to do or people always disappearing because they have to travel.
Yeah the remote setting probably sounded like a good idea for more intimacy but doesn't work that well in practice if the cast mates selected are spending half their time commuting and never around to interact.
OH SHIT!
I think travel was a big issue. People weren't getting home until really late, or people who were around the house didn't really do anything. I really liked the season for the cast and for what it is, but I think the location didn't really work well.
Miwako is one of the members who appears in Japanese dramas etc. quite a bit.
I think I'm in love.
Wait, I was always in love with her
Last time I saw her was in the DQX drama, as the main character's friend. Not that much screen time, but it's better than nothing.
What if they put them on an island and made them form into tribes next time? 🤔
Or, 100 Japanese people parachute onto Terrace House Island...
Just watched the first episode of BxGND. It's interesting going back to this first series after watching all the others. You can definitely see that they've refined how they want the show to be shot.
Just watched a couple more episodes and holy shit, the level of ageism is getting uncomfortable. Constantly calling Taka an old man at 31 and saying that he shouldn't be shy at his ripe age. That's some toxic shit.
Taka was my dude, but 31 is old when the girl you're interested in is a 3rd year college student lol
Can't remember exatcly but it was like episode 30ish? Could be wrong tho
Triendl joins a bit earlier, but even then I don't remember them commenting every 10 minutes.
Is it Triendl who voices the Toyota commercials? It sounds a lot like her.
My god, just got to the Yui shit. I don't think I've ever done such a hard 180 on someone so quickly. I defended her and was on her side, and even liked her. But damn. I think she honestly just didn't understand the issue at all.
I do think there was a bit of time manipulation with the flow of events they showed though. When Yui and Masao go to ping pong later in the episode, Masao is in the same clothes that he's in from an earlier scene where Masao and Risoka talk about looking forward to their date the next day. There just seemed to be some extra editing to stack on top of Yui.

They have these casts figured out ages in advance usually, including back-ups and back-ups of back-ups. I could potentially see this having international cast members in it due to the Olympics, but I wouldn't bet on it.
