It looks like romance is in the air for the “Terrace House” housemates, and just in time for the new year! A few of them, including Yume and Shion, already have some dinner plans, but Toshiyuki Niino isn’t wasting any time and squeezes in one last date with Yume before 2019 ends.
Toshiyuki has gained his own personal cheering squad with Yama-chan dubbing all the female panelists “The Niini Girls.” It seems none of them were completely turned off by Toshiyuki’s bizarre behavior in the previous episode — when he trapped Yume in the playroom to ask her out and drunkenly perform sit-ups in front of her. The Niini Girls found it endearing (personally, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing).
And he doesn’t disappoint. Toshiyuki picks up Yume in Shibuya for a night drive (in a pink car? Nothing about this guy is subtle) over the Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba, a waterfront area that sits next to Tokyo Bay. Yume says she doesn’t go to Odaiba often, and Toshiyuki casually replies with, “I got your Rainbow Bridge virginity.” Yume, who has been a good sport about his aggressively direct style, just smiles while admiring the multi-colored bridge.
