Ep. 16 'Orange Flavor First Kiss'
This week's episode of "Terrace House" was all about creating art — and some plot lines were totally drawn out. While Emika and Peppe have settled into the house, everyone is ...
Ep. 15 'A Man's Worth is Determined by His Job'
Now that we have said arrivederci to Kenny and Risako, it's time to say buongiorno to two new members of "Terrace House," an Italian manga artist and a young romantic ...
Ep. 14 'Just a Moment, Please'
It was a week of surprise twists, tearful goodbyes and shocking news, but before we get to the good stuff, we have to go over one exhausting subject: Ruka. Again, Ruka ...
Welcome to Part 2 of "Terrace House Tokyo 2019-2020"!! Taking Sho-chan's place in the commentators' lounge for this episode is Rui Hachimura of the NBA Washington Wizards, which left everyone visibly shook. It turns out Hachimura is a super fan of "Terrace House." He's ...
For this week's episode of "Terrace House," we are back to familiar territory. No more explosive fights and unexpected nude scenes. Instead, we have what the die-hard fans expect: slow-burning love and close ups of tasty food. Kenny and Risako like each other and Risako ...
Ep. 11 'Broccoli Pasta, Carbonara Style'

Eating king Kobayashi bites back in new documentary
Takeru Kobayashi, the "godfather of competitive eating" recounts how he devoured the American dream, until it chewed him up and spat him out again.
I'm just going to say it: Episode 8 of "Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020" is the best episode of "Friends" that never made it to air. High jinks, misunderstandings, dating woes — it had everything. The show starts out typical enough. Kaori and Shohei are on ...
Ep. 7 'Woman to Treat and Woman to Split the Check'
Episode 7 of "Terrace House" picks up on the rooftop of the house without missing a beat. After the other members turn in for the night, Haruka and Risako remain to see who can get more alone time with Kenny, but eventually Haruka throws ...
