"It's been decided that Shun will be in charge of the shift."
SHUN (23) ARTIST
DAI (23) UNIVERSITY STUDENT
So yeah, I'm definitely concerned.
I mean, those photos…
RYOTA (28) MODEL AND CAFE MANAGER
It's Shun.
He's piqued my interest.
Oh!
-No way! What a move. -Wow!
-Oh! Really? -Now we know.
-Thought he'd choose Ryota. -He chose him?
They'll get closer to each other, I think.
-Yeah! -Absolutely, they will.

I was surprised.
-Hmm? -That Shun chose Dai.
USAK (36) GO-GO DANCER
-I don't know… -Well, I thought he would choose him.
-Really? Did you two expect it? -Mmm.
If you think about it, Dai chose Shun and Shun chose Dai.
It's a match made in heaven.
Yeah, if the two of them
really care about each other,
I guess that may be true.
Yeah.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
-Hi! -Welcome.
Cookies and a small cup of iced coffee, please.
Sure.
Your order will be ready in a couple of minutes. Thanks for waiting.
Cool. We'll wait over here.
Oh.
It's ready. Where are they?
-Thanks. -Enjoy!
-Sure. -Thank you very much.
Shun isn't talking to Dai at all.
Maybe Shun's waiting for something.
-Right? -Yeah, I think so.
So tell me, when you have a crush on someone, do you actively talk to them?
-About your feelings. -Mmm.
-No, I usually don't do that. -Mmm.
-You don't? -Mmm.
Wow.
But why don't you?
I like to be discreet.
Has this technique worked for you?
It has never worked.
And you, Ryota?
-Do you mean if I had a crush right now? -Yeah.
Well, I don't think I would be direct with my feelings right away.
-But I'd try to spend more time with him. -Hmm.
And while I… spent more time with him,
I'd also try to make sure that we were really getting to know each other.
-Hmm. -Mm-hmm.
-Thank you for today. -Sure. Same, thank you.
I was very happy that you chose me.
Tough decision.
-Really? Why? -Mmm.
Why was it tough?
Well, because… I wasn't sure.
Why?
I wonder if the feelings I have for you
may not be genuine.
Since you have been so open and loving towards me…
Mmm.
…I may be under the illusion that I like you, too.
Mm-hmm.
I'm not sure about my feelings.
To be honest…
Mmm?
I think a kiss might… help me to…
make this more clear.
I guess…
that if we kiss…
I might know how I feel.
Oh, I see.
-What did he say? -Do it before the sun sets!
And since I haven't decided
after this time that we've spent together,
I wonder how I really feel.
So there's that.
I really want to know the truth.
I'm anxious.
In order to get rid of that anxiety, I'm doing my best to be very vigilant.
That's how it is.
-Mmm. -Do you think we should get going?
-Yeah. -Okay.
-Let's go. -Stand up.
Hmm?
-What? -Give me your hand.
-What? What? -Let's kiss.
-Now? No. -Why?
I don't want to!
Not now.
I'll let you know.
I'll kiss you when I'm ready.
Mmm. Huh.
If we kiss today, I'll be even more confused.
-No! Why not? -Oh gosh! Why?
-It was time! -He wasn't ready.
I mean… the fact that he said he'd be more confused if Dai kissed him today
must give Dai some hope, but probably confuses him too.
I have to say, Shun is such a schemer.
He likes to trap people in his swamp of love.
It's easy to get trapped, for sure.
-Indeed, Shun is very complicated, really. -So complicated. Fascinating.
-He's interesting. -Yes.
They're both good at trapping others in their swamps.
-Yeah. -Right!
It's all a matter of which mud is stickier than the other.
-You're right! -Totally.
Yeah, both have their own swamps of love.
Yeah, sure. But I can picture them kissing in a day or two like it's nothing.
Oh!
They'll simply increase the tension between them more and more.
-And when it reaches maximum level… -Boom!
-They'll explode in a kiss! -I don't know. You're so funny!
Hey.
-Huh? -Is this your underwear?
-And these are too. -Thanks.
Mm-hmm.
Aww! Dai's doing his laundry.
Aww, yeah, look at him!
-Can I do it? -Yeah, go ahead.
-There's a line here. -Mm-hmm.
You can take it from here.
-Is it below the line? Aah. -Exactly.
-You can start with a dark color. -Okay.
-Apply it to this area and spread it out. -Mmm. Okay.
Then apply pressure with your fingers.
That's it. It's gone.
Okay, but like, is this makeup
just to remove dark circles under the eyes and that's it?
I don't have to do the rest, right?
-You've got nice skin. -Ah, thanks.
-You don't need to. -Mmm.
-Your freckles are so cute. -Hmm.
Your eyebrows are well defined.
These eyelashes are amazingly long.
I love your forehead, too.
It seems to me that Gensei feels that Ryota likes him,
But it's Gensei who likes Ryota more than the other way around,
-Don't you think? -I agree, I agree with you.
Everyone has been in charge at least once.
KAZUTO IS AWAY FOR WORK
-Where's your favorite place? -The first place we went to was great.
-It was, yeah. -Sales were really good.
I think it's possible to earn about 10,000 yen during weekdays.
Sounds cool.
-The place Kazuto and I went was closer. -Where?
-It takes 20 minutes to get there. -That is close.
-There were lots of families. -Mmm.
-And couples. -Mmm. Mm-hmm.
-What? -What?
Seriously? Right now?
The place is some kind of ferry pier.
-Oh. -I've been there too.
Mm-hmm. Lots of people flow in and out.
Mmm.
♪ Just ride with it, ay, ay Just ride with it… ♪
I know that people actually gather at roadside stations and ferry terminals.
So I think it makes sense for us to go to more stations.
♪ Let me see you go and ride with it ♪
♪ Yeah, let me see you… ♪
Wow, here he comes!
-He looks strong. -I think this guy could stir things up.
I think it… gives us a good chance to get a lot more coffee sales.
-Mmm. -Yep.
Maybe… we can decide to split up routes to cover more areas.
Sounds good.
-Oh. -Oh, good timing.
What?
Do you know him?
Yeah.
♪ Yeah, ride with it… ♪
-That's insane! -Good morning.
-Welcome. -Good morning.
-Nice to meet you. -Hey.
My name is Alan, and I'll be living with you as of today.
-Nice to meet you! -Welcome.
My name is Alan.
In my professional life, I work for a foreign IT company.
ALAN (29) FROM BRAZIL
I'm part Brazilian, part Italian and part Japanese.
I live in Japan, but I'm also influenced by Brazilian culture.
I consider myself a go-getter.
When I meet someone who's really my type, I just say, "Hey, I love you."
I felt the spark. Do you wanna wash each other?
I can't take this.
Nice to see you.
-Can I sit with you? -Wherever you like.
-Please. -There?
-In the middle. -Are you friends?
-Yeah, we are. -Hey.
Wow, Usak!
Oh, my gosh!
-Hello! -Get over here, gimme a hug. Oh!
This is insane!
I'm so happy. I wanna hug everyone.
-Welcome. -Sorry to interrupt.
-Oh, hi. -Hey, I'm Alan.
-I'm Taeheon. -What?
-Taeheon. -Taeheon?
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Alan.
-I'm Ryota. -Ah. Ryota.
-Pleasure. -Oh, my gosh, Dai. It's been a while.
Is this awkward?
-Good to see you. -They know each other.
-How are you? -That's awesome.
-Nice to meet you. -Likewise.
-Shun. -Huh?
-I'm Shun. -Shun?
-Right. -I'm Alan.
-Nice to meet you. -Pleasure. Welcome.
It's quite uncommon to go around the table hugging people!
-Hey. -I'm Gensei. Very nice to meet you.
-I'm Gensei. -He's really nice.
-I'm Alan. -So nice.
-Nice to meet you. -This is huge! Oh, wait.
-Am I being too noisy? -Mm-mm.
-No. -No, you're good.
You always give your all.
Yeah. Yeah!
Hey, Alan, so I noticed that you already know Dai and Usak.
-How did you meet? -Yeah, okay so…uh,
-Dai, how did we meet? -I DM'd you.
Because I thought you were really cool on Instagram.
Did you?
Which of us did it first?
-Was it me or was it you? -Me.
But at the time, well, I remember you had a partner, so…
Exactly. Strangely enough, we didn't connect, but we still keep in touch.
"Strangely enough"!
I can't really say that it was an intimate relationship.
But, as they say, we went all the way.
Oh! So they had sex.
-That explains it. -They did.
So these two have a history of being attracted to each other.
Yeah.
Aaah!
Knock it off, seriously.
Ah, Usak, that's not fair. That's really unfair!
-Come here. -Hey, wait.
-Ah! -Help me with the towel!
This is too hot.
There you go. You should wrap it again.
-Why don't we tie it on the other side? -Good idea.
Whatever.
-Shun! This must be hard for him. -What?
You've just gotten here, and already you're fitting right in.
-No! -I can't believe you're here.
-Are you upset by the fact that I came? -What do you mean?
-Well, you know. -We're not upset.
No.
But, you know, when you think about it,
the next few weeks, we'll make great memories,
-There's no better chance to, right? -I'm having a lot of fun.
It's so fun. We should just enjoy it.
Yeah, we totally should.
-Uh-oh, you guys. -Gosh!
Look's like we're gonna find out. if this'll be good for Shun and Dai.
Right.
-Or if Alan ends it all. -Yikes!
Exactly.
But I believe that Shun's feelings for Dai are really getting stronger.
In my opinion, Shun knows it better than anyone.
But he can't accept it.
So I truly think he's struggling a lot right now.
Shun has to do things differently than he has in his previous relationships.
-He probably got everything from his exes. -He's passive, right?
He was the one receiving love.
So I wonder if he can step forward. I hope he can.
This is so intriguing!
-There's a lot going on between them. -Yeah.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-Cheers. -Bottoms up.
It smells good.
Tastes good too.
What's your type?
What's my type?
I like gentle faces.
But when it comes to bodies, I like a little bit of bulk.
What I mean to say is that…
I like guys with big butts.
Mmm.
-That means-- -Usak.
And Taeheon.
-Yeah. -What?
-His ass is big. -Mine is tiny!
Wait! The butt gets bigger and better the more you work out.
-That's right. -Oh!
-Grill the meat. -The possibilities are endless.
-Just grill the meat. -All right.
Why did you decide to join us?
I guess I struggle being in serious relationships.
Having a boyfriend is a big deal to me.
But I'm 29 now,
and, well, I don't wanna get stuck in old, limiting patterns.
So I want to open myself up to feelings and experiences I haven't had before.
And that's it.
Bravo! Amazing!
Thank you for joining us.
All that clapping was…
It was so overwhelming!
I'm having many thoughts and mixed feelings.
I thought Alan might be shallow, but the things he's saying changed my mind.
-I'm liking him a lot more now. -Mmm.
-Self-love is so important. -Mm-hmm.
-I truly believe self-love is everything. -Yeah.
But on the other hand, I'm afraid of becoming self-centered because of it.
For instance, during the COVID-19 crisis,
I remember that a lot of people complained about the government.
And so did my family.
And I thought, "What can you guys do without the government?"
I wanted to tell them, "Don't blame others."
"Just do the best you can."
"If you get to the point where you can live without the government, talk to me."
-Word. -Mmm.
But expressing your ego doesn't mean you're being selfish.
I believe that we have to let the government know what we want and need.
-Otherwise, our society won't ever change. -Mmm.
But, you know, it's very hard to change society.
But it has to change.
Think about it, even water decays if it remains stagnant.
-Change is necessary. -Mmm.
Flowing water stays clean.
Nowadays, in our society, only the mainstream benefits.
To be honest, though, I find that mindset to be very disrespectful.
I don't find it disrespectful at all.
You don't notice your privileges because you're used to them.
That's a good point. I can see why you feel that way.
But lately, when I watch the media,
I can tell that the mainstream
is more concerned than ever to take LGBTQ people into consideration.
-No, I'm not sure that I believe-- -But that's your value system, Dai.
Yeah, that's right.
Basically, in the end, the more you believe it,
the more you accept it, the more you live by it,
and the stronger your desire to appreciate it,
the more contagious it'll be to those around you.
The same goes for self-love.
And I confirm my beliefs every day, because when I wake up in the morning,
I think of myself as someone who can shape the world around me.
Mmm.
And I believe that the world I control is full of love.
-It's so simple, actually. -Hmm. Yeah…
Just in time. Food's ready!
-Nice! -Cool.
-Let's eat. -Where are the long chopsticks?
I should've picked that rosemary and added it.
-Ooh, rosemary… -We don't have any.
-Yeah, we do. -Huh? Rosemary?
Oregano, maybe?
-Sea cucumber? -No, it had to be rosemary.
Don't worry, it tastes great!
-What happened? -I don't know.
-From Dai's point of view… -That could've upset him.
Very much.
Give me your plates, I'll serve you.
I love this.
-Delicious. -So good!
-Too good! -Yeah.
-High five! -Mmm.
-Do you like it? -I do!
-I want two cans of beer at once. -Be right back.
-Oh! There he goes. -Good move.
-Shun, that's important. -Catch up with me!
-Dai will be pleased. -Do we have more beer?
-This is so good. -Yeah.
Hey, Dai.
-Shun? -Huh?
I wanted to see you.
I had to come inside to calm myself down a bit.
Aah.
There was a lot going on.
-I've known Alan for a long time. -Mmm.
He always tries to wrap it up nicely at the end.
-He does? Okay. -Yeah.
I don't think life's always as beautiful as he tries to make it out to be.
Sure.
Even if you're not sophisticated or cool, if you're real, you're good.
-Yeah. -At least, I believe so.
Mm-hmm.
I know.
Listen, people always tell me,
"You don't know anything, because you haven't experienced enough yet."
So I truly appreciate that you can be quietly by my side,
listening to what I have to say.
Sure.
I honestly don't know what exactly made you the way you are now,
but you have to have your reasons, otherwise you wouldn't be like this.
You're different from any other man I've ever met.
My only guess is that you've experienced something really difficult.
And I've come to think that it's quite possible
that situation made you who you are today.
I hope someday you'll trust me with the story of that experience.
If you want to hear my story,
I can tell it to you.
Of course I want to hear it.
-Are you sure? -Mmm.
When I was a baby…
Mm-hmm?
I… lost both my parents
Mmm.
Because they
abandoned me,
like, in a baby hatch.
Mmm.
-Which is like a box. -Mmm?
Mmm.
They left me in one of those at a children's home.
Are you serious?
-Well, I don't remember everything. -Mm-hmm.
So I was raised at that facility until I was 18 years old.
-An orphanage? -Yeah, I guess.
-Mmm. -That kind of place.
While I was there…
I went through a lot.
-I bet. -Mm-hmm.
Since I never met my family,
and…
I had no family love,
I really can't say I had a normal life,
and I grew up with a different kind of common sense.
And…
well,
a lot happened to me.
I ended up coming to Tokyo basically all by myself.
Mm-hmm.
And for the past five years, since I've been here in Tokyo,
I've…
been free.
That's it.
-I can't even imagine that. -Yeah.
I'm gonna try to comfort you…
Mm-hmm.
…by playing this.
Okay.
Very well, try to relax.
-Mmm. -Just listen to the music.
Are you actually creating the music?
Mmm.

-Do you wanna go back out there? -Yeah, let's do it.
Are you relaxed now?
Thanks to you.
-That's good. -I feel better.
-Thank you. -Of course.
You said earlier that people who were important to you… passed away.
-Mmm. -Can you tell me who they were?
My dad and my grandpa.
-I suspected it was your dad and grandpa. -Yeah.
-I see. -Well.
-My father got sick very suddenly. -Mmm. Mm-hmm.
He started feeling ill, and when he went to the hospital,
he was told he only had three months to live.
Mmph!
It was stomach cancer.
He didn't even make it a month after his diagnosis.
Oh my God.
In his last days, he was often unconscious,
and he couldn't think properly,
but his last words to me were "I respect you."
Oh, wow!
I was…
I'm sure it must've been so hard for you.
Aww.
-Do you want one? -Yeah.
-It hasn't even been a year. -Mmm.
When I started working,
I wasn't able to keep in touch with my father on a regular basis.
I've always been independent.
I was working long hours and couldn't make it home very often.
And honestly, I never told my parents how I was doing.
Mm-hmm.
But I know that they were both always supporting me.
So much so that his last words were that he respected me.
Mmm.
You never know what will happen in life.
You don't. So I've decided to cherish the present.
Yeah.
So I won't have regrets.
And I'm truly glad I've met you all.
Wow.
Not long after that, my grandfather passed away too.
That's a powerful story.
I truly believe this may be an opportunity that my dad gave me.
Yeah.
-You know what? I think so, too. -Mm-hmm.
Now I'm grateful to my dad.
It's a reminder that everyone has a very personal backstory.
That they've all been through a lot in their lives.
Seeing glimpses of that is impactful.
-Exactly, you're right. -Yeah.
When you're first meeting people,
it can be really hard to share the things about yourself
that make you feel vulnerable.
It's so nice to see that, as they're becoming friends
and developing feelings for each other,
that they're able to start opening up.
Seeing these more personal sides of Shun and Gensei
is reminding me that everyone in the house
has also experienced so much that we don't know yet.
-Everyone's been through a lot. -That's so true.
And what do you think about Shun and Dai?
They had a moment there.
-That was touching. -They shared something deep.
-Don't you think? -Yeah.
It was like they finally let themselves relax while Shun was playing the piano.
-Yeah. -It was a touching moment.
-So sweet! -Gosh!
-It was a hell of a scene. -It was.
-So beautiful! -Like a movie.
-So cinematic. -A movie!
The scene could be used for a cover.
-With a blank space for the title. -I thought so.
-Yeah. Wong Kar-wai. -Gosh!
Wasn't it amazing, the way Dai got closer to him?
He asked Shun to tell him why he is the way he is today.
I loved that he was listening, like… "I've got you."
-You know? -You're right!
-I liked his empathy. -They shared some great moments.
-Their bond has gotten stronger. -Yeah, it's quite strong now.
Isn't it wrong to borrow money from friends?
-Did it rain? -I don't like that.
-With money, it gets weird. -Not cool.
-I know. -No, I get it.
-Even if you imagine how desperate… -This thing is so wet.
…when they asked you for the money, it's…
-It rang. -A message.
-I just heard it ring. -What?
-"A message for you." -You wanna eat this?
-Yeah. I want the bread. -Here.
What is it?
-What does it say? What's going on? -What?
"Tomorrow, you will go out on a date just for two."
Oh, my God! Are you serious?
For real? Awesome!
-This came out of nowhere. -Out of nowhere! Oh, my God!
-Okay? -Stop!
"Write the name of the person you want to go with on paper."
-Unbelievable. -Can all of us write a name?
-I guess! -Wow!
What? Oh my God!
-I really wanna go to Disneyland! -Wait, listen.
"You will only go on a date if you and your chosen person
write each other's names."
-Wild. -We get to go on a date.
-Wow. -I'll write my own name.
-Your own name? -That's creepy.
"The announcement will be made tomorrow morning."
-What do you think? -I love it!
-Me too. -I love it!
-It came all of a sudden. Out of the blue. -But it is really exciting.
If they're feeling it for someone, it's time to say it.
To say they both like each other.
Hopefully some of the things they're sharing are leading to connections.
-Mm-hmm. -Sure.

-I guess Dai and Shun are solid, right? -I think so.
-They should be matched. -Yeah.
-If they don't, I'll be like, "Damn!" -Same.
-Yeah. It won't make any sense. -Not at all.
I hope they choose each other.

Good morning.

It's so unexpected.
Well…
-I don't wanna do this part. -Me neither.
I'm feeling so antsy.
"The first couple is…
Shun…
Okay!
-Gosh. My stomach hurts. -Shun knows who he is, right?
Mmm.
-That's good! -Yeah, you know it.
Then, Shun's date is…
Wait for it…
-Who? -Dai!
-Thank goodness! -Yay!
THE FIRST PAIR SHUN AND DAI
-I'm relieved! -Congratulations!
Oh, yeah, that's obvious.
-Oh my goodness, Usak took a long pause. -Yeah, he did.
Yay!
I knew it.
I was sure that Shun would write Dai.
I know Shun.
It was obvious to me that Shun likes Dai,
or that he's come to like him.
You said "the first couple." Who's the second couple?
-Okay, I'm going to tap it. -I'm curious about it too.
Honestly I have to confess that I chose Ryota,
because I've always wanted to talk with him.
I wrote Usak's name down on my paper.
When I saw Usak eating the ice cream,
I immediately thought he was cute and became curious about him.
-"That is all." -What?
-That's all? -Is that what it says?
It says, "That is all."
Did I misread it? Is it possible that he wasn't interested in me?
Not at all? Really?
Maybe I was just imagining the connection.
Is that what happened?
My sweet Gensei wrote Ryota's name, but ended up like, "What?"
-It was weird. -He's clearly confused.
Ryota didn't write his name. Did he misunderstand?
-Mmm. -It's such a shame.
I wonder what he'll do now.
Maybe he'll think, "Well, it's time to move on."
That might be tough, though, because I think he really likes him.
I mean, anything could happen.
-Have fun. -Do I have to say "see you"?
-Yup. -See you!
-See you guys! -Enjoy!
-That's nice. -They must be excited.
-I'm a little excited, too. -Mm-hmm.
It makes me really happy to know that you wanted to go on a date with me.
-I didn't have any other choices! -That's mean.
-What? -You could say that better.
Just say, "I wanted to go out with you."

Thanks for the food.
You know, I was thinking about this in the bathtub.
But I thought you weren't good at… well, showing your emotions.
-You know. -I'm not?
-I mean, I thought that at first. -Mm. At first, I wasn't interested in you.
Okay, so now I know you weren't really interested in me then.
But I didn't have a bad impression of you.
On the contrary, I thought it was a good thing
that I was a bit of a misunderstood guy.
Hmm.
-So I was able to be forward. -Mmm.
Haven't you ever been chased by a guy like this?
I have, but I wasn't interested.
So I ignored them.
Yeah, there's nothing you can do in that case.
No.
I'm not good when it comes to being too pushy.
-Until we start dating. -Mmm.
Then I don't care if I'm at a ten and he's at a zero.
-Okay. -Get it? It's the feelings.
Oh, yeah, I get it.
But I like it to be 50-50 when I'm dating.
Mmm. Is it the other way now?
Right now, your ratio is… around eight.
Why would you say that?
That's not fair.
You don't know if I'm at eight or two.
But you're expressing your feelings more than me.
-That's true. -Yeah.
But I'm not used to it.
I'm not good at it.
I think they're a good match.
It looks like they're having a good time on their date.
-Now Dai seems comfortable making jokes. -They're building a good relationship.
It's been a while since I came to an aquarium.
I wonder what that one's doing now.
I've never seen a fish like this. It's hiding.
Amazing.
-Look! There are sharks. -Cool.
-It's huge! -There's one.
Aquariums like this are such a blast!
-Fun! -Look at this new couple!
They're looking at each other's faces in the reflection!
Love it.
So cute!
How do they do that?
Ooh… they're swimming!
Adorable!
-Oh! -They're so cool.
They're playing with each other.
What? Is that one alive?
He looks tired! He ate too much.
He's so full he can't move.
Maybe.
Look at them.
Oh, it's moving!
Nice.
They're so sweet!
I want pictures.
Yummy.
Isn't it?
Like it?
So cute.
You wrote my name on the paper,
you put that paper in the little bottle,
and here we are.
That's really special to me.
If you still feel the same about me after this day,
you don't have to be blunt,
but nothing would make me happier than you being honest about your feelings.
-Like today, I was… elated. -Mmm.
I see.
Of course. It's obvious.
It's nice to be this happy.
It really warms my heart now.
-Really? -Yeah. I'm very happy.
I want you to know you're important to me.
Thank you.
"Thank you"? Is that it?
What is it? What are you doing now?
-I'm thinking. -Oh, you're thinking.
About?
-You know what? -What?
It's nothing.
-Tell me. -No.
You said, "You know what?"
What?
The truth is, I saw things
I didn't like,
and I kinda lost interest.
What?
-Wh… wh… what? -What?
-Why? -When did that happen?
-What does he mean? -Shun!
What's the issue?
Let me watch ten minutes of the next episode.
Seriously!
