On this episode, Bryce makes a desperate plea for friendship for Animal Crossing. Be his friend!In the house, it's drama a-plenty starting with a sick Kai. Hana proves yet again, she is a great caretaker. Sickness won't stop Vivi from one of her patented "Real Talks", this time trying to get Kai to take a second look at his comedy. We FINALLY get his goal, one that sounds eerily familiar to a current house goal.Finally, it’s time for delicious drama! Hana and Vivi corner Ryo and he’s on the ropes! It looks like it’s going to be a win for the ladies, when Ryo somehow manages to weasel out of being direct answering questions with questions and giving everyone a different story.The ladies talk however, and they learn the truth (TM)! Will Vivi’s rage prove fatal for Ryo?Then we have everybody's favourite segment Goalbatte! Where we rank each member by their house goals. And in Konbanhuh?! We talk about the production shut down on Terrace House, what we hope will happen and what our podcast plans to do in the meantime. (As of the time of recording, the last episode released was episode 40 in part 4) Hit us up and let us know your thoughts!

This week we start off with a beautiful romance emerging with a lovely date between Tupas and Emi. A classic movie and dinner date that is so normal it is adorable. And my goodness we're grateful for a little bit of love to get us through the rest of this episode.The peaceful time soon ends, and we crash back into reality and see Kai performing what he describes as 'standup' but is more like a nightmare. Back home the horror continues, with one of Vivi's classic "real talks" to Kai about his performance. Don't worry Ryo is there too, and he takes the opportunity to smell Vivi's hair. (WHY)The biggest shock happens when Ryo comes back from time away with HICKIES on his neck and no one (not even the panel) says ANYTHING! But what could top this? Hana creepily mentioning how she smelled Ryo's laundry. We finally recover with our house MVP - Emi! She, on behalf of the girls in the house, confronts Ryo and forces him to admit what we have all suspected. Ghosting is his MO, he only cares about himself and doesn't like Hana OR Vivi!Then we have everybody's favourite segment Goalbatte! Where we rank each member by their house goals. And this week in Konbanhuh? Devon explains the Japanese tradition of Omiyage and how it's a little bit different from traditional souvenirs. Like the pod?

Talk about love, It’s Devon’s birthday! (And yeah we still recorded)In this episode, we get a glimpse into Kai's comedy and we think maybe he should stick to flirting with Hana. Meanwhile Hana's still stuck on Ryo, and employs a sneaky glass trick to see if the feelings are mutual. Without all that, we probably could have mentioned it wasn't, and Ryo finally shows his true colors, by trying to ghost someone he lives with.But our biggest question this episode is why is everyone trying to smell everyone else in this house?After Bryce tries to end his friendship with Devon, we gain some extra respect for Emi, who is a top talent multitasker who can comfort AND clean.Of course we have Goalbatte! ranking the members against their house goals for the week and this week in Konbanhuh?! we talk about Idol culture in Japan and how that relates to Ryo's branding.Like the pod?

It's a battle this week and who'll come out on top? Hana, floating in a sea of tears mourning her chances with Ryo, or Vivi flirting her way to victory?Thankfully, this isn't a Vivi and Ryo centric-episode. It's Tupas Time! He quickly proposes a date with Emi and they grab lunch. Then he's off to work and we finally get a glimpse of the fumbling assistant the panel had predicted. Then things get dark...with Tupas coming home drunk and crying revealing he has never had love in his life, and he can't love someone else without that experience. Thankfully, Vivi is here and drills into him you gotta love yourself before others can. Don't talk about yourself like that, friend! Devon's first (begrudging) moment of liking Vivi is on the board. We end on a sweet note, with Tupas and Emi, but how will she react when she sees this new darker side to Tupas in the future?Of course we have Goalbatte! ranking the members against their house goals for the week and this week in Konbanhuh?! Where we take a cultural note from the episode we are talking all about the deliciousness that is Japanese Candy! Like the pod?

It's our second LIVE episode! Hear our scene by scene reactions, as we watch the episode together!Our new members are settling in - some more quickly than others!Ryo comes home with an injury, and Hana's attempts at nursing him back to health fall flat, as Ryo now only has eyes for Vivi. In a move of desperation, Hana sort of confesses to Ryo, who plays it off like he's confused what she means. Could he just tell her already before this goes any further?The house members throw a Halloween welcome party, and we see a bold move from Patos, er, Tupas (and a new side to Emi!) Could this be the actual romantic encounter she was hoping for?Kai takes Vivi on a ceramics date, one that we learn she'd rather be going on with Ryo! Their extreme flirtation continues in front of the housemates and a tearful panda hoodie clad Hana, is comforted by Kai. We've got Goalbatte where we judge each member and rank them for their weeks efforts towards their goals they set in the house. And we've got three graduates!And in this weeks KonbanHUH? we're discussing the wonderful world of Japanese beverages like Pocari Sweat (and how it started Bryce and Devon's friendship!) as well as vending machine culture and technology in Japan.Like the pod?

It's episode 26 and just like that it's like the other house members were never here! Three new house members arrive in quick succession before we can even dry our tears. This week get our two new male members and our new female member. Our first intro is for Vivi, a Russian-German and looks like she has her heart set on Ryo and shaking things up in the house. Will her friends be right about her time on Terrace House?Next up Kai, a half Japanese, half American aspiring comedian coming into the house and making all the women swoon with his velvety voice. Then closing out the new member parade, we have Tupas, who was born in the Philippines and moved to Japan at a young age, but to Tokyo only 10 months ago. We get some interesting introductions, from Vivi's bold declarations (and starting off with a prank) to Tupas' over politeness - how will these new personalities effect the house? No Goalbatte this week as the newbies need time to settle in, but we do have a great Konbanhuh?! where we discuss formality in Japanese society and its importance. Like the pod?

Episode subtitle: Devon Can't Do This (She is so sad!) because we're back for the start of part 3 and no one is pulling any punches.It starts out with the conclusion to the playroom confession we all had high hopes for. At least we weren't left wondering for long?The OG's have a chat and Ruka has some news of his own, he's also leaving and plans to leave with Haruka. He finally conquers his nemesis of broccoli pasta and leaves us speechless during his farewell to the house, ALL IN ENGLISH. I guess we know where he's been the past few weeks. In happier news, we get to see the much anticipated release of Peppe's manga! And the scene in the konbini has us feeling all the feelings.Without a ping-pong in earshot, the hits keep on coming. Peppe makes a dessert for the house. Is it tiramisu or tear-amisu? We're not crying, you're crying! (We all are crying, let's be honest.)We've got Goalbatte where we judge each member and rank them for their weeks efforts towards their goals they set in the house. And we've got three graduates!And in this weeks KonbanHUH? we're discussing the absence of Tokui. Can we expect him back any time soon? Like the pod?

Our first bonus episode for the break - seriously though, what was that meal?

It's the FINAL episode in part 2 and of course we're left with a cliffhanger that feels eerily familiar to the end of part 1.It's drama galore this episode as we find out the person Hana called at the end of episode 23 and Bryce was right, it's Haruka. After telling "her side" of the story, we're left wondering if this is another episode 9, Girlfight. Will the ladies be able to mend this growing divide?Hana is off to Taiwan, and Emi takes advantage of her absence to ask Ryo to make good on taking her to a fancy dinner. When Emi returns home from the fancy date in Ginza without her earrings, Devon has a few theories on where they may have ended up. We FINALLY get the Peppe Haruka date and it's got us wrapped up in "will they-won't they?!" theories. After a post date gab session with Emi, Haruka meets up with a pajama clad Peppe and he gifts her her own matching set to his! The mood is set for a kiss, but nothing happens!The episode ends a few days later with a Haruka/Peppe chat in the playroom. She's finally got her answer and it's...YOU'LL FIND OUT IN PART 3!Following all that, we've got Goalbatte where we judge each member and rank them for their weeks efforts towards their goals they set in the house.And in KonbanHUH?! We talk about about the Osoroi code - or dressing alike in Japan, why people do it and what it really means.Like the pod?

It's been weeks in the making, but in episode 23 we finally get the confrontation on those fighting for Ryo's affections. Bryce and Devon continue to be confused by the panel - what they focus on and who they seem to be criticizing. Meanwhile, in Hana's match she very shockingly wins and gets to spend a full day with Ryo! No one saw that coming at all! So she finally gets the date she pressured Ryo into, but in the end it's in very questionable location! (But going shoe shopping was a weird suggestion to begin with to be completely honest.)Also this week Emi is having an existential crisis about her life path while removing Hana's extensions and tries to get advice from Ryo only to be interrupted by Hana, who ends up suggesting this can all be solved with a drink! To close it out, the girls have a playroom confrontation (oh the drama of a Rom-Com!) and we close out with a mysterious phone call.Following all that, we've got Goalbatte where we judge each member and rank them for their weeks efforts towards their goals they set in the house.And in KonbanHUH?! We talk about about Onsens, Hot Springs in Japan, and how they are a part of everyday life in Japan, and a really awesome experience when you're visiting Japan. Like the pod?

Jealousy rears its ugly head in Episode 22, Tip Off and it's a competition for Ryo's affections.What was with that ratatouille. Haruka is a champion wing-woman, helping out Hana once more on her quest to spend some time with Ryo but following that in our second cooking scene, we're suffering from whiplash because Emi has reversed her position on Ruka.Hana and Emi attend one of Ryo's basketball games, and the ladies are smitten. Back at the house, Emi sports her official Ryo t-shirt (Jack Sparrow, what!) and shares some of the banter from her Texlationship (Bryce TM) with the house members. And just like that the harmony of the house has been dealt a devastating blow from the top ropes.Oh and we can't forget our lost House member, Ruka. We suffer through a painful scene of watching himself on Terrace House.Finally, Haruka and Peppe head out for soba in the Corvette, and we are ALL shocked to learn Haruka has been thinking about leaving the house. Peppe makes his move and asks Haruka out for a fancy cocktail date, but what are Haruka's true feelings? Is it Pokemon Go, or something more?We've got Goalbatte where we judge each member and rank them for their weeks efforts towards their goals they set in the house.And in KonbanHUH?! We talk about Japanese meals that originated in other countries.Like the pod?

It's episode 21, Too Shy Girl and it's all about the ladies this week.We kick this week off with the house members doing some homemade face masks. The girls finally get some time to dish and divulge some confessions that really catch us off guard.Haruka and Ryo have their lunch date and love is definitely not in the air for those two, which is evident when Haruka returns to the house to give Hana the inside scoop about some of Ryo's unique approaches to relationships.At Hana's wrestling match, we start to question her shyness (and Bryce's play by play is not to be missed)The ladies head out for some girl time, picking out some jammies and Haruka trying to lend a hand in helping Hana in her mission to ask out Ryo.After what is the most awkward ask out ever, Peppe and Ryo do some bonding of their own. Their broship and what we learn about the real reason Peppe has been working so hard hits us right in the feels.Following that we've got Goalbatte where we judge each member and rank them for their weeks efforts towards their goals they set in the house.And in KonbanHUH?! We talk about Host and Hostess Clubs. Want to learn more? We've got some recs for you!Like the pod?

We are back this week talking about episode 19 of Terrace House - The Stray Sheep and strangely a date heavy episode.During Emi and Ryo's baseball and mutton date we find out their true feelings, however the standout is the date between Peppe and Haruka which has both of us swooning. Who knew Pokemon Go could be so romantic?We're bought out of our bubble with Kaori ending the episode with some dramatic news. We then have a classic Goalbatte, where we rank the members based on their goals, and end the episode with Konbanhuh?! Where Devon gives us a great explaination into baseball in Japan. Don't forget to like and follow us on all the socials too! You can find us at @konbanwapod on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for all the latest news.

This week we start with a delightful date with Peppe and Emi heading to the beach. It's sun, fun and trampling Italian stereotypes! The joy is short lived however with the shock exit of Shohei in the middle of the night! Sho flees in (presumably) embarrassment however the house moves fast and we have our new male house member arrive and make everyone go Shohei who?! Ryo arrives and is a hunk a man and pro basketball player who has the women swooning. Ryo bro's up the house with Peppe and Ruka declaring that it is bro's before hoes (don't worry he reassures us it is a derogatory term) and then tests it by swooping in scheduling a date with Emi. We also do our final Goalbatte! with Shohei and decide if he did achieve his goals, as well as our usual ranking of the members in the house and how they went this week towards their own goals. Then we close out with Konbanhuh?, where we take a Japanisim from the episode to discuss. This this weeks special episode we talk about the famed Konbini in Japan. Don't forget to follow us and like us across the social medias! Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @konbanwapod.

After a real pervy intro from the panel, we dive right into episode 17 and a Nintendo Switch commercial. Peppe is quickly making an impact on everyone – bringing a lot of life into the house, and has dates set up with both Haruka and Emika.In this incredibly Ruka-centric episode, he finally has his interview at the Marvel bar and it goes…exactly how you think it’s going to. He REALLY leans into his “I’m Spiderman” theory and he has another awkward date. (That food looked good at least?) Ruka is just as clueless as ever. We’re begging at this point for someone to give him some hard truths.Shohei swoops in and takes Emika on a spontaneous lunch date, and Emika is everyone of us with her facial expressions. This date has us yelling “SINCE WHEN” at every single thing Shohei says. Finally Haruka and Shohei chat on the roof – is this conversation and the energy from the new house members the spark that brings life back to the house? Has Devon turned into a Shohei sympathizer? Then it's off to Goalbatte! where we take a look at each members goals for the house and rank them on how they progressed towards them this week. Finally we end the episode with Konbanhuh?! Taking a deep dive into a piece of culture or Japanesism from the episode. This week we try we're talking about cosplay!Remember to follow us on socials at Konbanwapod!

It's a very special "LIVE" episode of Konbanwa! Bryce and Devon watch the show together and give their live reactions after each scene.The new housemates are all settled in, and dynamics are changing rapidly! We get to see the artistic side of the housemates come out, Peppe with his manga, Kaori with her illustrations for Shohei and finally...Ruka's...well whatever those are.We finally say "Aloha" to our 7th house member Uke, who still decided to see those fireworks anyway. Better luck in Hawaii, friend.Things get spicy between Peppe and Haruka who enjoy VERY INACCURATE Aperol Spritz' on the rooftop, and Peppe shares a story about his first kiss. Finally, the ladies of the house have a float in the pool and a few things come to the surface, mostly how the house members feel about Kaori! After a talk with Shohei about it, things only get worse for poor Kaori. He feels the need to clear things up, and they have a long talk in the playroom later that night. But did it really just make things MORE unclear? Is there any hope for these two?Then we've got a LIVE Goalbatte, and we talk through our rankings in the moment.And of course we close it our with KonbanHuh? Taking a deep dive into a piece of culture or Japanesism from the episode. This week, we tackle dialects and we talk about two big ones - Kansai and Kanto.Remember to follow us on socials at Konbanwapod!Editors Note: As we were recording in the same room, there is a slight echo.

Part 2 of Terrace House is in fully swing, with the arrival of two new housemates! (and exciting news, Devon and Bryce are recording in the SAME LOCATION!)We get to see Kaori's mega successful exhibition in Tokyo, and she is beaming with motivation for what is next. We have a stopover at a stage fighting workshop, with Haruka, Shohei and Ruka showing off their acting abilities (or lack thereof). The two boys back at home have a very candid discussion about work, but we realize they've missed the whole point.Then we have Emika and Peppe join the house and hear about their goals, and see an immediate re-energisation of the house with fresh members. Ruka sets his sights on Emika and is flustered by a moth, making it his quickest failing to date. Then we have Goalbatte including our new members and a great Konbanhuh?! about the obsession with queues in Japan. Editors Note - Apologies for the sound in this episode. We recorded together live in the same room and the sound may come off with an echo at times.

Change is in the air and we're all for it. Episode kicks off with FINALLY someone trying to talk some sense into Ruka with his Spider-Man dream. But can Haruka actually get through by comparing him to a 3rd grader?Haruka goes on a cute date with Uke and it's seemingly what she's wanted, but instead of the literal and figurative fireworks he was hoping for, it seems there is no romance potential. Can they still be friends?Kenny makes good on his ultimatum, but Risako's decision to go with him has us scratching our heads. But hey, new cast incoming! Will these two bring some new life into the house we so desperately need?Then it's off to Goalbatte! where we take a look at each members goals for the house and rank them on how they progressed towards them this week. Finally we end the episode with Konbanhuh?! Taking a deep dive into a piece of culture or Japanesism from the episode. This week we try we're talking about food parks!Remember to follow us on socials at Konbanwapod!

We're back and love is in the air....maybe?The episode starts with a wimper, Risako's that is, as we hear her response to Kenny's cliffhanger confession at the end of Part 1. The vagueness of it all beings Kenny to make some bold ultimatums, but does his flair for the dramatic end up giving him the ending he's hoping for or just the one Bryce and Devon were?Meanwhile, Kaori tries her best to discourage a date with Ruka. Haruka goes on a cute, cherry laden date with our unnofficial 7th house member Uke! And it's time for Devon's favorite Harukaism: The Return of Haruka's Animal Nicknames™️Then it's off to Goalbatte! where we take a look at each members goals for the house and rank them on how they progressed towards them this week.

We've come to the end of Part 1 and we end it with a watermelon, a song, and a confession.After some instagram drama, it's Kaori's birthday and we're celebrating Terrace House style, with a head chef that leaves us wondering if the housemates secretly dislike Kaori. But maybe we (Infa)red that wrong. In arguably the most interesting part of this episode, the house is gifted a yellow watermelon. Risako and Kenny enjoy it poolside while talking about their upcoming will-they, won't-they date to the beach. We close it out the episode with a confession in the playroom, but the "thank you" response has us wondering if it's reciprocated.

Welcome to Konbanwa - A Terrace House podcast. Join us as weekly we recap, breakdown and debate each episode of the newest Terrace House - Tokyo 2019-2020. We start with the first episode - We're back in Tokyo. We are introduced to the new house and new members 3 boys and 3 girls. The panel is back and we have a lot of thoughts. Then we have Goalbatte! - A weekly ranking of all the house members based on their goals while in the house and KonbanHUH? - Where we take a cultural moment, or Japaneseism from the episode and explain it. Note: The audio in this episode is not the best, being two fresh faced new members on the podcast scene, but don't fret! Episode 2 and beyond we settle right in and so does the audio!
