Terrace Neighbors: A Terrace House Podcast

It’s a windy day here in the neighborhood – at least on the Saitama side of it – and we’re feeling particularly punchy as we discuss episode 8 of Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020. Taylor breaks down what she’s been reading in quarantine, Risako and Haruka’s rivalry comes to a head, and our hosts talk life philosophies.

We’re still reeling from the shake-ups of last episode, and there’s still a lot left to process as we discuss episode 7 of Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020. Haruka shows her sentimental side, Ruka has a vacation epiphany, and a startling new ship appears on the horizon, sails into Tokyo Bay, and demands that we open our borders.

Buckle up, friends, because we’re about to point out some sexisms for ya. Join us for our first mid-pandemic episode as we discuss episode 6 of Terrace House: 2019-2020! Shohei adds a new hobby to his list of interests, Kenny finds himself the new dreamboat of the house, and chaos reigns supreme.

It’s our 50th episode and we completely forgot! There was just a lot going on in our lives before society came to a screeching halt. Anyway, it’s time to discuss episode 5 of Terrace House: 2019-2020! Our disdain for Haruka is solidified, Ruka finds himself at the center of an unwitting love triangle, and Kenny proves the age-old adage that any weirdo can redeem himself by soulfully strumming a guitar.

We’re making our way through our backlog of recorded episodes, so get ready for the halcyon tones of February! Join us in a simpler time as we discuss episode 4 of Terrace House: 2019-2020. Haruka’s psychology is nitpicked, Taylor teaches Courtney about the wild world of ear piercings, and Risako takes a running leap into the land of infatuation.

We have another quick episode for you all this week as our housemates test the waters. It’s practically a lightning round as we discuss episode 3 of Terrace House: 2019-2020. Kenny shows off some questionable art, Risako plays nurse, and Ruka reaches new heights of adorableness.

It’s time for the crossover event of the year – nay, the decade – and we hope you’re ready to discuss episode 2 of Terrace House: 2019-2020. Haruka picks a fight, Kenny seems to have been plucked from a different show, and Kaori takes the crown as this season’s Best Girl.

We’re back with a new season and everything is shiny and new. We have a new fancy house, new fancy cars, and a new fancy cast of attractive singles embarking on communal living. Open your heart to new possibilities with us as we discuss episode 1 of Terrace House: 2019-2020. Wow, that title’s gonna be so uninspiring to type out every week.

Pack your bags and turn in your keys, friends, because our time in this neighborhood has come to a close. We’ve finally reached the season finale as we discuss episode 46 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Can you believe I’ve written forty-five of these things?

Our time with the Boys & Girls is coming to an end, and it’s time to address the things left unsaid. We’re thinking about the future this week as we discuss episode 45 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Masako gives her answer, Riko enjoys small town fame, and Hayato decides to live his life like a shojo manga hero.

Life in the neighborhood got thrown into chaos last week and now we’re here trying to pick up the pieces. Emotions ran high, and now it’s time to process it all as we discuss episode 44 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Riko gets trampled, Hayato puts his big villain shoes on, and somehow, despite it all, Arman keeps us rooting for heterosexual love.

Not from successful love alone, Nor wealth, nor honor'd middle age, nor victories of politics or war; But as life wanes, and all the turbulent passions calm, As gorgeous, vapory, silent hues cover the evening sky, As softness, fulness, rest, suffuse the frame, like freshier, balmier air, As the days take on a mellower light, and the apple at last hangs really finish'd and indolent-ripe on the tree, Then for the teeming quietest, happiest days of all! The brooding and blissful halcyon days!

We’re in the final stretch of the season and things are getting dire in the neighborhood as we discussed episode 42 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Arman has a scare, the camera loves Masako, and Hayato proves that he might actually have a bit of a spine after all! It’s another odd one, lads.

Please, listener, what time is it? Episode forty, you say? But that cannot be right, it’s been episode forty for twenty years!!! The concept of time itself falls apart around us as we discuss episode 41 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Misaki laughs too much, everyone gets weirdly frisky, and Masako is just about ready to set the world ablaze and watch it burn.

Strap on in, friends, for one really weird episode. There’s something in the water this week as we discuss episode 40 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Byrnes doesn’t think things through, Masako poisons the house, and EVERYONE gets familiar. Like really, really familiar.
