Ep. 1 'We're Back in Tokyo'
Konbanwa! It has been a long time coming but the international popularity of Netflix's "Terrace House" can no longer be denied. The show is a hit, and we're still reeling from the Karuizawa-based "Opening New Doors" season and all of the drama that ensued there. (Kissing after vomiting! Fights about socks! Loud snoring!) Now that the show returns to Tokyo with a brand new cast, The Japan Times is hitting the intercom and moving in with weekly recaps of the show.

The small screen needs the small mercies of 'Terrace House'
Television has long been my connection to home. White Walkers ushering in an apocalyptic winter, Cold War sleeper agents going rogue, robots running amok in an Old West theme park — all of these have but a passing resemblance to my former life in New York. However, beyond mere entertainment, the act of watching in the moment puts me back in sync with millions of fellow viewers back home.
