I want to make a girl like that mine.
You just want to do it.
I'll treat you right.
-Will you?
-Yeah.
Hollywood's love continues
to gather steam.
You're really crying.

THANK YOU FOR BEING BORN
Eight housemates are living together
without TVs or smartphones
in an old house in the middle of nowhere.
This is Love Village.
I never thought I'd get used to life
without a TV or cell phone so quick.
I know, right?
At first, I was like, "What?"
But I feel like I can totally do this.
Totchan the therapist is aiming straight
for Tabo the businessman.
Meanwhile, hot-blooded actor Hollywood
has locked on to Yukiemon the barista.
And Yukiemon has developed
an interest in Hollywood.
-Right.
-She's into him?
Visiting the field to pick ingredients are
Italian chef Anchovy and barista Yukiemon.
-I want to taste the basil.
-Okay.
They go bad from the bottom.
-So pick the lower ones.
-I see.
Oh, basil.
Potatoes?
-Fresh potatoes are completely different.
-Wow.
This is the kind of thing
we want to do, right?
Till the soil, harvest,
and enjoy our meal.
We don't want to fight.
Tonight the housemates want to eat pizza.
-However…
-They're still bothered.
No bread flour, huh?
No dry yeast.
No cheese.
Oh no.
So Anchovy gets creative
in his pizza making.
Wow.
The pizza sauce is also homemade.
-Let's add a little sugar.
-Okay.
A little white wine too.
The toppings are
vegetables from the field.
Sounds delicious.
For the cheese topping,
this smoky snack cheese is nice.
Amazing.
It'll taste better if we use a lot.
The most important thing is the pizza pan.
The wok should work.
-Okay, a wok for the pizza.
-Wow, you're using that?
What an incredible idea.
No pizza oven after all.
Nice. Looks good.
-Let's leave it like this awhile.
-Okay.
-Okay, everyone, let's dig in.
-Let's dig in!
The first dish is pizza, right?
-Yes.
-Yeah.
-They spent a lot of time making this.
-Amazing, huh?
There was no yeast to make it rise,
so the crust is a bit like dumpling dough.
And we made it in a wok.
This is great. Amazing.
-Pizza is better when crispy.
-Yeah.
So yummy.
Delicious.
This pizza is great!
He would pronounce it like that.
Anchovy made one more dish,
braised pork rib meat
accented with a refreshing orange flavor.
What do they mean, braised? So fancy.
This is so good!
-Delicious.
-Did you add a little milk?
He's touching her!
This is so yummy.
He's going too far.
Everyone loves Anchovy's cooking.
But previously, Anchovy said…
I feel like women don't see chefs
as good marriage partners.
We don't get weekends off,
and we leave in the morning
and don't come back till it's dark.
Forty-six-year-old Anchovy
has only dated one woman in his life.
They dated for ten years
but never married.
It's been 16 years
since he has had a girlfriend.
Really, Anchovy?
He often expresses his feelings
to his housemates.
Yeah, I feel I lack love in my life.
I want that fulfillment.
-I can tell you're hungry for love.
-You can?
-You said so when you were drunk.
- I don't remember.
You don't remember?
I see.
THE NEXT DAY
The housemates pair up
before their work begins.
That's when…
Okay, let's get started.
Yukiemon, what should we do?
-Yukiemon. Can we talk a sec?
-Sure.
Yukiemon, what should we do?
-Yukiemon. Can we talk a sec?
-Sure.
He's annoyed.
Johnny, do you mind
if I take her to the love chat area?
Of course. No problem.
"No problem."
Hollywood snatches Yukiemon away
from Johnny yet again.
That's the love chat area?
How many meaningful relationships
have you had?
I've had about eight real relationships.
Oh, nice.
"Nice?" What's nice?
So in your relationships so far,
you always express interest first?
I wanna hear this.
Of course.
So, my ex-wife--
Your wife?
-My ex.
-I didn't know that.
I'm divorced. My ex-wife--
You say it so casually.
But I'm just hearing this now
after everything that's happened.
That's when Hollywood says…
My failure back then was saying
we don't need a wedding.
I thought it was fine, just the two of us.
And in our own world together,
I didn't include her family or relatives.
That's how I lived.
I've really reflected on that.
Next time,
I'll love my partner's family,
love her relatives, and do things right.
That's the kind of thing
I really wanted to hear.
I want us to talk about
this kind of thing more.
This is the best chat we've had up to now.
Then the topic changes to Yukiemon's work.
I've always been in the service industry,
like bars and restaurants.
Besides that, I've worked
behind the scenes at events.
I've worked a lot behind the scenes.
So how exactly do you earn a paycheck?
I just told you. Did you forget?
Who cares about my work?
No, tell me again.
Why're you trying to hide it?
I'm not.
I just don't wanna talk about work.
Yeah, but this is where
we lay everything bare.
But can you stop asking
questions I don't want to answer?
I don't want to talk about it,
so let's forget it.
But getting information about--
But you need to back off
if I don't want to talk about something.
That doesn't work for you?
That's not it.
Are you like, "I'm asking, so tell me"?
-Did I ever say that?
-No, you didn't.
But it's always about you.
"I am like that. I am correct."
It comes off as overbearing.
And it makes me think twice.
She is seriously not happy.
Maybe it will make
Hollywood rethink his behavior.
That's true.
His previous marriage was like that too.
-These are my rules.
-He's like, "This is how I am."
He's hurting.
-What should I do?
-Who's he talking to?
What do you think?
Bite as hard as you can.
I wanna kiss her at the end.
That surprised me for a second.
He meant at the end of the show.
It's nice how you guys get along so well.
After her fight with Hollywood, Yukiemon…
Let's go to the field.
Okay, let's go.
…she invites Anchovy to the field.
She should talk to others.
Tired? Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Talking to Hollywood just now wore me out.
It became a big discussion,
and I was like, "Whatever."
Nothing was getting across to him
when we were alone.
-It was seriously intense.
-It was?
He was like, "That's how I am."
So I told him, "But that's not right."
He's a good listener.
It's nice being with someone who listens.
But it's a weight off my back,
talking about it like this.
You and I come to the field,
and I spout off my complaints.
-This is like our refuge for relaxing.
-Nature's power.
Their special place.
Huh?
Is something starting to grow here?
Next, Anchovy talks
with Totchan the therapist.
Totchan is into Tabo,
and their conversation heated up.
It seemed to be going well,
but there's been no progress since.
Hollywood's impressive the way
he calls her over, like, "Can we talk?"
He can actually shift
his impulses into actions.
I'm terrible at putting on the charm
or expressing feelings like that
through words and actions.
Even after we start dating,
even if I really like the person,
I'm shy, so I have trouble saying,
"I love you."
They start wondering,
"Does she really like me?" and leave.
Really? I want Totchan
to express her feelings.
THAT NIGHT
Anchovy's search for love
hasn't gone anywhere,
but he said something strange
when we spoke with him.
-Because he's always cooking.
-And listening to others.
I was talking to Yukiemon,
but when Totchan came over,
Yukiemon suddenly stepped away
to talk to Totchan.
-Is it ready to bake?
-It's ready.
It looks so good. But it's not
the melty kind of cheese.
-Well, we don't have any.
-Right, we don't.
-I need a drink.
-We can drink.
She snatched her away?
-Do we have any left?
-No wine at least.
He thinks they left him?
Maybe they're being
considerate of each other
and are like, "Let's not talk to him
when both of us are there."
That's so…
I think those two might like me.
-What?!
-That's what he meant?!
-Seriously?
-Talk about positive thinking!
She told me, "If only you, me, and Totchan
could get married, the three of us."
-What?
-That was a joke.
Anchovy, you made
that kimchi dish last night, right?
Totchan and I were talking
about how we could eat that every day.
We're like, "Anchovy's a genius.
Let's get married."
-The three of us.
-Crazy, huh? The three of us.
-No, that's…
-Crazy?
-No good?
-Why not?
I'm grateful they'd like someone like me.
But I haven't developed
feelings like that yet.
-No, I don't think so.
-Where is he getting this?
I don't think I'm asking too much,
but I also don't think
I should lie about my feelings.
But if they do approach me first,
I wouldn't mind dating them.
Hey, wait a sec.
No, they don't have
their sights set on you either.
Anchovy!
"I think those two might like me."
I never thought I'd hear
those words from his mouth.
Plus, "Let's all get married,
the three of us" was a joke, right?
But if you look at the footage,
Anchovy said, "The three of us," first.
And she responded,
"Let's get married, the three of us."
She just said,
"Let's get married," at first,
and he added, "The three of us."
-That's quite a transformation.
-It is!
This is scary. He might transform
into a misunderstanding monster.
It's incredible. It really is.
But when Yukiemon had
that spat with Hollywood
and wanted someone to listen to her,
she went to Anchovy, not Johnny.
He's a good listener
and has a soft touch. He's like…
He's a nice guy.
I was shocked when his kindness
turned into delusional thoughts.
It's so scary
and makes me think Anchovy
might transform into a horrible monster.
I think this will stir something up.
He'll definitely do something that will
trump Johnny and Hollywood's argument.
-He'll stir something up?
-Yeah.
Then there's Hollywood,
whose likability is skydiving.
Do people say that? It's "skydiving"?
It's skydiving, at least in my mind.
Yeah, you're right.
-Ducks.
-How cute.
Today, they're making a sign
they all designed together.
It's so colorful.
Totchan gathers her courage
and approaches Tabo.
Nice.
-She went for Tabo.
-She still likes him.
Won't you forget what to do
if you haven't dated in seven years?
-Yeah, you do forget.
-Right?
I was married for ten years, so…
But it's, like, can you be
attracted to the opposite sex?
Right.
Or would you be able to have sex?
Exactly.
During the day?
Isn't that what having a lover is about?
-Midday village sex chats?
-Every week!
Once you become friends,
it's over for some people.
It's, like, having it go from that
to romance is pretty difficult.
Right?
Yeah.
But then Tabo says…
Right?
Living together like this
and doing the same work together
will likely bring
everyone together at first.
Right.
But will we get closer romantically…
Right.
…or as friends?
Or maybe we'll get close
like family members that live together.
-We don't know how it'll go.
-Everyone paired up.
-I'm having fun? Yeah.
-You are?
-I still don't know what Tabo's feeling.
-Right?
Okay.
Uh-oh.
It felt like
I was getting nothing in return.
What do you mean?
-He doesn't feel anything for you?
-Yeah, like he's not into me.
You can tell by talking to each other.
Yeah.
Just by his reaction.
I was like, "Here we go again."
The people I'm into
usually aren't into me.
So that's what she's been through.
I wasn't surprised.
THE NEXT DAY
The housemates spent their time
however they wanted the next day.
YOGA
Time like this is nice.
Punch from your back,
and when you make contact…
Anchovy is the one teaching?
-Hollywood is doing his own thing.
-There's so much going on here.
Meanwhile, Yukiemon…
was writing a message.
"Thank you for being born"?
Actually, Yukiemon…
lost her mother at an early age.
My mother died of cancer.
There was nothing
I could really do for her then.
You didn't have a chance
to be a good daughter.
-I didn't have a chance either.
-You didn't?
I didn't.
I wanted to show my mom my work.
Yeah.
It was cancer in my mom's case too.
Stage four.
Same here. Oh no, I'm starting to cry.
I wanted to show her.
In the end, NHK did me a favor so she
could see it, but she was already gone.
-It's hard talking about my folks.
-It is.
Just like Hollywood,
she lost her mother to cancer.
THAT NIGHT
Welcome! It's been way too long!
Tonight, they decided
to enjoy dinner in their nightwear.
He even has a tail?
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
"He even has a tail?"
Cheers!
It wasn't just ears.
Hollywood sat…
He brought ears and a tail.
…in the seat furthest from Yukiemon.
They're keeping their distance.
Who's keeping away from whom?
Here you go.
How nice of you. So much rice in it.
That will be 3,000 yen.
You can read his thoughts.
Hollywood seems unusually down.
With his tail on?
Actually, he was supposed to be in charge
of dinner with Yukiemon that evening, but…
Yukiemon was supposed to cook with me.
Anchovy invited her to go talk over there.
That's fine. Yeah, I'll make it, then.
Better go get her,
or he'll snatch her away.
What is going on over there?
She said she'd make dinner, didn't she?
This is scary.
Well, let's get cooking.
-He backed off.
-Good for him.
Unfortunately, I think
she put some space between us.
He can tell.
Meanwhile, the sage psychologist,
Johnny, is having a blast.
I want to hear about
everyone's idea of love.
-What is love?
-What is love to you?
-What is love?
-You don't expect anything in return.
But I totally expect something.
That's not love.
-I'm saying ideally.
-Ideally, right?
With family, you love them
and always want to do
whatever you can for them.
No matter what happens,
I'll rush to their side.
Love is when it gets to that level.
I've never said, "I love you."
Really?
Let's hear Totchan's idea of love.
I don't want to.
Speaking in front of three
or more people is embarrassing.
And you, Hollywood?
I think love is one-sided.
What do you mean?
I think continuing to love someone
without expecting anything is love.
I think that's nice.
Johnny began speaking about love too.
Plato spoke about love.
Another lecture!
-He always gets academic.
-He likes to quote people.
…all your love to someone
without expecting anything in return.
Plato also said
sexual desire is not real love.
So he refers to love without lust as--
Platonic love, right?
-Right.
-I remember that.
That's what I'm always striving for.
She said it before he could.
Don't interrupt.
I'm sorry. I really am.
I left that pause there on purpose.
What's done is done.
He's disappointed.
Meanwhile, something about Tabo
had piqued Yukiemon's interest,
so she decided to ask.
-Are you always so together?
-Not at all.
You haven't shown us your real self.
You've only shown us
your good side so far.
That's true.
Tabo has always remained
composed while drinking
and calmly dealt with arguments.
He's a good-looking guy
with no faults in sight.
Ever lost it or totally fallen apart?
I have.
You have, definitely.
But you haven't shown it.
It hasn't gotten to that point here,
but it could.
When will that be?
How about now?
I don't know.
I can't just lose it right now.
In Tabo's diary that day…
"Yukiemon's words hit home."
"I'm still dragging that baggage around."
-Huh?
-What could it be?
"No way I'll bare everything
to people I've just met."
What happened?
Meanwhile, Hollywood is feeling down
because he can't talk to Yukiemon.
His tail's now a pillow.
Yukiemon, can we talk a bit?
-Sure we can.
-Sorry.
He called Yukiemon over.
-He's going right for it.
-A straight pitch.
They haven't talked since their fight.
That's right.
-Listen.
-What?
Yukiemon, you're too confident sometimes.
I know you might not like that side of me.
So you know. You know, but…
He's kinda drunk.
I know that, but it's who I am.
Sure, but tone it down a bit.
But if I keep doing that,
it might end up like this again.
Yeah, but I wanna make
a woman like that mine.
You just want to do it.
What comes next once I'm yours?
-I'll treat you right.
-Will you?
-I will. Like crazy.
-Really?
Yeah, we'll make my dreams--
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
I really will.
Sorry.
I bet he won't.
I mean, he's totally drunk.
You're drunk.
-But Hollywood likes her a lot, huh?
-Right?
Yukiemon spoke her mind, too,
so I think it went well.
That BGM is great.
I think there's quite a bit of hope here.
The tail is not a mic.
I get the feeling the odds are about 7:3.
Seven to three?
Can I say something
I'm totally not supposed to?
Are men stupid?
What the hell?
-Analyze things calmly.
-They're not calm and collected.
Maybe he doesn't see it,
but I can list
several things wrong with Hollywood.
Several?
Like things I don't think are very good.
But he keeps coming on strong,
and Yukiemon can't resist.
So there's a chance
she might mistake that for actual love.
I see. Right.
-She can't resist his advances.
-Exactly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't listen.
She asks whether
he'll really treat her right.
She's giving him a chance to respond.
-That's true.
-It is.
When Hollywood hears that,
he goes, "I have a 7:3 chance
if she's asking me that."
He's so positive,
but I'm not feeling a seven at all.
Today finds the housemates
building something.
Go like this, and spread it carefully
so none of it falls off,
and then it goes like this.
-Then you go like this.
-What're they making?
They stack one brick after another.
It's square.
It's not a flower bed. What is it?
-Okay, it's done.
-All right!
It looks good, right?
And just like that,
they built a barbecue grill.
That sign is so cute.
And then…
It's grilling.
-How nice.
-That's great.
They put it right to work.
That's so cool.
-Let's dig in.
-Let's dig in.
This here is steak.
We lightly seasoned it
with salt and pepper,
removed the tendons,
and marinated it in fruit for a bit.
I can't bite through it!
-I can't either.
-Uh-oh.
He said he removed the tendons.
See? Better not to talk too big.
If you get greedy and take a big piece,
it'll have tendons.
I'll go cut it smaller
before my crowns come off.
That night…
Her crowns might come off.
…Totchan had a gloomy look on her face.
-She does.
-That's when…
What's wrong? Lovesick?
-Lovesick?
-Your big brother is all ears.
Really? Can we go over there?
You're serious about this?
-No good?
-You're serious?
-It's totally fine.
-Okay, then, just a bit.
-Now's a good time.
-Is this a good idea?
A confession of love?
It must be.
-No way.
-Don't jump the gun.
What's going on?
Just say it in front of everyone.
-It's not like that.
-It'd feel good.
A certain someone told me,
"Totchan, you've never put effort
into romance before, have you?"
I thought, "Wait, that's not true."
As Totchan starts talking,
the other housemates start buzzing about.
-What?
-Why?
Whoa, wait. They can see you.
No, they can't due to the lighting.
Hurry! The whipped cream is in the fridge.
-The writing.
-Careful of the writing.
It gets me down
and bothers me more than I thought.
I've been thinking about what they said
for two or three days.
Okay, they gave the signal.
It's okay here?
-Everyone has a party popper?
-Yes.
-You want some? I'll get it.
-Sure.
White wine?
She's good.
Hollywood, come here a sec.
Could you check the wine?
This is wonderful.
Ready?
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Look at his face.
He's turning around!
Today is Hollywood's 52nd birthday.
Happy birthday.
Wow, that's amazing!
This is awesome!
He looks so happy.
-Made a wish?
-Did you?
They blew it out together.
Thank you so much.
-This is from everyone.
-Messages.
Is that what she was making?
Take your time reading it.
-Wanna eat?
-Yeah, let's eat. Let's all have some.
Let's eat.
It's been decades since anyone
celebrated my birthday with me.
"Thank you for being born"
is something your mom or dad would say.
I was so happy.
THANK YOU FOR BEING BORN
-It's kinda childish.
-That's what's nice about it.
We made it with what we had.
I'm so moved.
It's making my nose run,
and I'm tearing up.
That's so cute!
Are you crying?
If anywhere, this is when you gotta cry.
"You gotta cry"?
-You're crying?
-Well, men don't cry though.
-You're crying, ain't ya?
-You're crying, ain't ya?
-It's raining hard.
-It's starting to rain.
-Oh no.
-This is bad.
-We gotta eat fast.
-Yeah.
-Can I put this away? Be right back.
-The rain will ruin it.
Right. It'll get wet.
I gotta take good care of this.
I love that about him.
It's straight from the heart.
-This rain is no joke!
-Ready, go! Watch out.
What's with this rain?
-At least it waited for us!
-How could this happen?
It waited till you cried.
This surprise party
was actually planned by…
He'll find out if he sees us
making the pancake tower.
So keep him out of the kitchen.
We'll do a barbecue and fireworks.
Yeah! That's what I was thinking!
It was Yukiemon and Johnny's idea.
Johnny too?
I think today's birthday party
was Yukiemon's idea.
That's what Johnny said.
She was thinking entirely about me…
so I feel like she'd say okay.
I think my odds are 8:3 today.
It went up!
But the numbers don't add up to ten!
Eight and three equal eleven.
Right, sorry.
Then, let's go with 8:2 odds.
That's so like Hollywood
to not change the three.
THE NEXT DAY
Today, the housemates continue their work.
What's that? What're they making?
Meanwhile, Hollywood is…
-I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
-Okay.
No need to announce it.
How does it look as a whole?
Is it too far from the sofa?
-Now that you mention it, it is.
-You're right.
Is the restroom outside?
Wait. Is he going to…
I want Yukiemon to be with me
even after she leaves Love Village.
He's going up the hill.
Hollywood has decided to confess his love.
He is heading to the Bell of Love.
-It's happening!
-It is!
Hollywood was more serious
than anyone about finding a wife.
Oh no. I think I'm gonna cry.
He had a mental picture
of what an ideal couple would be like.
Hold on.
And that would be…
I'm so moved.
-He made up his mind.
-I hope it goes well.
My dad was a Kyushu man,
the man of the house.
I'm hungry.
Yes, dear.
He never said more than necessary,
and Mom simply obeyed.
My mother was diagnosed
with breast cancer 15 years ago
and received treatment at home.
However…
Hey, make dinner. Run a bath.
I hated my father. He made me so mad.
I truly thought married life
without love was pointless.
My mother passed away in 2021.
What I saw that day…
Hey, Hitomi!
I see.
What's wrong with crying?
"What's wrong with crying?"
That's what he said.
He said, "What's wrong with crying?"
I said, "There's nothing wrong with it.
It's okay to cry if you want."
I realized that he loved her.
My dad kept her altar spotless.
He had never done any cleaning or laundry,
but he always treats her remains
with great care.
He leaves flowers
and some kind of snack there for her.
I see.
That was the real love
between my mom and dad.
It made me realize I want to find
someone I truly love, like my father did.
And then…
he met Yukiemon.
She's pretty sociable
and family-oriented,
and she says what's on her mind.
She would be a good partner for an actor.
I think she's a very kind-hearted woman.
That's true.
Yeah.
I see.
And as a man, it's the first time
I've wanted to have children.
Yukiemon's so cute.
I want a Hollywood Jr.
-What?!
-It's happening.
-Go for it!
-Will he ring it?
It's so cool,
a guy with a determined look.
If they find their sweetheart,
they'll ring the Bell of Love
and profess their love.
Wow, everyone is about to find out
when they hear the bell ring.
-Everyone will be like, "What?"
-Yeah.
All right. Here goes.
-Whoa, he rang it.
-That explains his bathroom announcement.
-You can hide it here?
-You can hide it.
-It's looking nice.
-Huh?
-Is it ringing?
-It rang.
-It's ringing?
-It just rang.
It rang just now.
-It's ringing like crazy.
-What?!
Who is it?
It's not the sweet-potato man, is it?
-Who is it?
-Who's not here?
Isn't it Hollywood?
He said he was going to the restroom.
-He went to the restroom.
-Then, it's Hollywood.
-Seriously?!
-So it is Hollywood.
-I got goosebumps.
-Wait.
I thought I was hearing things.
She knows it's her.
All right.
All right.
-Now the name.
-Here it comes.
Yukiemon, I've something to say.
Can you come out?
-Me?
-That's right.
-Seriously?
-Yep.
Oh my.
She has a skip in her step.
I hope it goes well.
That's Hollywood for you.
They are a good match.
Anchovy must feel conflicted.
Right. He thought she liked him.
That's right.
-Huh?!
-What?!
-It's over?!
-No way!
You're kidding!
You're leaving us hanging?
Feeling like this?
Damn, it's, like,
I didn't think Love Village
would move me like this.
I hated Hollywood,
but then I started to really like him.
Huh? You're really crying right now.
Well, I also lost my mom to cancer,
so maybe I feel a connection there too.
I suddenly became a huge Hollywood fan.
-Can I get a tissue?
-What?!
Well, I hope it goes well for him.
Man…
Atsushi's crying.
That's right.
I was trying my hardest not to cry.
I tried to hold it in, but I couldn't.
-That boorish man…
-Right?
I see. He had that kind
of friction with his dad,
and he was moved
when he saw his dad crying.
So that's why
he wanted to find someone to love.
Right.
-Becky.
-Yeah?
He went to put that birthday card
in his suitcase, right?
When I heard you say,
"I love that about him,"
it's like my tear ducts broke down.
What? That's when?
Yeah. He really has that side to him.
He's straight from the heart.
He really is.
"Thank you for being born"
really got to him.
What foreshadowing.
I was like, "What does
that message mean, and who's it for?"
when she was writing it.
That means Yukiemon likes him.
So I think it's gonna go well.
Atsushi's suddenly on Hollywood's side.
He's on a roll.
After I insisted
his likability was skydiving.
You said, "I can list
several things wrong with him."
I'm so sorry, Hollywood.
Subtitle translation by: Jason Franzman
You just want to do it.
I'll treat you right.
-Will you?
-Yeah.
Hollywood's love continues
to gather steam.
You're really crying.
-It's just…
-Atsushi's crying.
Yeah, I am.
A certain housemate
brings Atsushi to tears.

THANK YOU FOR BEING BORN
Eight housemates are living together
without TVs or smartphones
in an old house in the middle of nowhere.
This is Love Village.
I never thought I'd get used to life
without a TV or cell phone so quick.
I know, right?
At first, I was like, "What?"
But I feel like I can totally do this.
Totchan the therapist is aiming straight
for Tabo the businessman.
Meanwhile, hot-blooded actor Hollywood
has locked on to Yukiemon the barista.
And Yukiemon has developed
an interest in Hollywood.
-Right.
-She's into him?
Visiting the field to pick ingredients are
Italian chef Anchovy and barista Yukiemon.
-I want to taste the basil.
-Okay.
They go bad from the bottom.
-So pick the lower ones.
-I see.
Oh, basil.
Potatoes?
-Fresh potatoes are completely different.
-Wow.
This is the kind of thing
we want to do, right?
Till the soil, harvest,
and enjoy our meal.
We don't want to fight.
Tonight the housemates want to eat pizza.
-However…
-They're still bothered.
No bread flour, huh?
No dry yeast.
No cheese.
Oh no.
So Anchovy gets creative
in his pizza making.
Wow.
The pizza sauce is also homemade.
-Let's add a little sugar.
-Okay.
A little white wine too.
The toppings are
vegetables from the field.
Sounds delicious.
For the cheese topping,
this smoky snack cheese is nice.
Amazing.
It'll taste better if we use a lot.
The most important thing is the pizza pan.
The wok should work.
-Okay, a wok for the pizza.
-Wow, you're using that?
What an incredible idea.
No pizza oven after all.
Nice. Looks good.
-Let's leave it like this awhile.
-Okay.
-Okay, everyone, let's dig in.
-Let's dig in!
The first dish is pizza, right?
-Yes.
-Yeah.
-They spent a lot of time making this.
-Amazing, huh?
There was no yeast to make it rise,
so the crust is a bit like dumpling dough.
And we made it in a wok.
This is great. Amazing.
-Pizza is better when crispy.
-Yeah.
So yummy.
Delicious.
This pizza is great!
He would pronounce it like that.
Anchovy made one more dish,
braised pork rib meat
accented with a refreshing orange flavor.
What do they mean, braised? So fancy.
This is so good!
-Delicious.
-Did you add a little milk?
He's touching her!
This is so yummy.
He's going too far.
Everyone loves Anchovy's cooking.
But previously, Anchovy said…
I feel like women don't see chefs
as good marriage partners.
We don't get weekends off,
and we leave in the morning
and don't come back till it's dark.
Forty-six-year-old Anchovy
has only dated one woman in his life.
They dated for ten years
but never married.
It's been 16 years
since he has had a girlfriend.
Really, Anchovy?
He often expresses his feelings
to his housemates.
Yeah, I feel I lack love in my life.
I want that fulfillment.
-I can tell you're hungry for love.
-You can?
-You said so when you were drunk.
- I don't remember.
You don't remember?
I see.
THE NEXT DAY
The housemates pair up
before their work begins.
That's when…
Okay, let's get started.
Yukiemon, what should we do?
-Yukiemon. Can we talk a sec?
-Sure.
Yukiemon, what should we do?
-Yukiemon. Can we talk a sec?
-Sure.
He's annoyed.
Johnny, do you mind
if I take her to the love chat area?
Of course. No problem.
"No problem."
Hollywood snatches Yukiemon away
from Johnny yet again.
That's the love chat area?
How many meaningful relationships
have you had?
I've had about eight real relationships.
Oh, nice.
"Nice?" What's nice?
So in your relationships so far,
you always express interest first?
I wanna hear this.
Of course.
So, my ex-wife--
Your wife?
-My ex.
-I didn't know that.
I'm divorced. My ex-wife--
You say it so casually.
But I'm just hearing this now
after everything that's happened.
That's when Hollywood says…
My failure back then was saying
we don't need a wedding.
I thought it was fine, just the two of us.
And in our own world together,
I didn't include her family or relatives.
That's how I lived.
I've really reflected on that.
Next time,
I'll love my partner's family,
love her relatives, and do things right.
That's the kind of thing
I really wanted to hear.
I want us to talk about
this kind of thing more.
This is the best chat we've had up to now.
Then the topic changes to Yukiemon's work.
I've always been in the service industry,
like bars and restaurants.
Besides that, I've worked
behind the scenes at events.
I've worked a lot behind the scenes.
So how exactly do you earn a paycheck?
I just told you. Did you forget?
Who cares about my work?
No, tell me again.
Why're you trying to hide it?
I'm not.
I just don't wanna talk about work.
Yeah, but this is where
we lay everything bare.
But can you stop asking
questions I don't want to answer?
I don't want to talk about it,
so let's forget it.
But getting information about--
But you need to back off
if I don't want to talk about something.
That doesn't work for you?
That's not it.
Are you like, "I'm asking, so tell me"?
-Did I ever say that?
-No, you didn't.
But it's always about you.
"I am like that. I am correct."
It comes off as overbearing.
And it makes me think twice.
She is seriously not happy.
Maybe it will make
Hollywood rethink his behavior.
That's true.
His previous marriage was like that too.
-These are my rules.
-He's like, "This is how I am."
He's hurting.
-What should I do?
-Who's he talking to?
What do you think?
Bite as hard as you can.
I wanna kiss her at the end.
That surprised me for a second.
He meant at the end of the show.
It's nice how you guys get along so well.
After her fight with Hollywood, Yukiemon…
Let's go to the field.
Okay, let's go.
…she invites Anchovy to the field.
She should talk to others.
Tired? Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Talking to Hollywood just now wore me out.
It became a big discussion,
and I was like, "Whatever."
Nothing was getting across to him
when we were alone.
-It was seriously intense.
-It was?
He was like, "That's how I am."
So I told him, "But that's not right."
He's a good listener.
It's nice being with someone who listens.
But it's a weight off my back,
talking about it like this.
You and I come to the field,
and I spout off my complaints.
-This is like our refuge for relaxing.
-Nature's power.
Their special place.
Huh?
Is something starting to grow here?
Next, Anchovy talks
with Totchan the therapist.
Totchan is into Tabo,
and their conversation heated up.
It seemed to be going well,
but there's been no progress since.
Hollywood's impressive the way
he calls her over, like, "Can we talk?"
He can actually shift
his impulses into actions.
I'm terrible at putting on the charm
or expressing feelings like that
through words and actions.
Even after we start dating,
even if I really like the person,
I'm shy, so I have trouble saying,
"I love you."
They start wondering,
"Does she really like me?" and leave.
Really? I want Totchan
to express her feelings.
THAT NIGHT
Anchovy's search for love
hasn't gone anywhere,
but he said something strange
when we spoke with him.
-Because he's always cooking.
-And listening to others.
I was talking to Yukiemon,
but when Totchan came over,
Yukiemon suddenly stepped away
to talk to Totchan.
-Is it ready to bake?
-It's ready.
It looks so good. But it's not
the melty kind of cheese.
-Well, we don't have any.
-Right, we don't.
-I need a drink.
-We can drink.
She snatched her away?
-Do we have any left?
-No wine at least.
He thinks they left him?
Maybe they're being
considerate of each other
and are like, "Let's not talk to him
when both of us are there."
That's so…
I think those two might like me.
-What?!
-That's what he meant?!
-Seriously?
-Talk about positive thinking!
She told me, "If only you, me, and Totchan
could get married, the three of us."
-What?
-That was a joke.
Anchovy, you made
that kimchi dish last night, right?
Totchan and I were talking
about how we could eat that every day.
We're like, "Anchovy's a genius.
Let's get married."
-The three of us.
-Crazy, huh? The three of us.
-No, that's…
-Crazy?
-No good?
-Why not?
I'm grateful they'd like someone like me.
But I haven't developed
feelings like that yet.
-No, I don't think so.
-Where is he getting this?
I don't think I'm asking too much,
but I also don't think
I should lie about my feelings.
But if they do approach me first,
I wouldn't mind dating them.
Hey, wait a sec.
No, they don't have
their sights set on you either.
Anchovy!
"I think those two might like me."
I never thought I'd hear
those words from his mouth.
Plus, "Let's all get married,
the three of us" was a joke, right?
But if you look at the footage,
Anchovy said, "The three of us," first.
And she responded,
"Let's get married, the three of us."
She just said,
"Let's get married," at first,
and he added, "The three of us."
-That's quite a transformation.
-It is!
This is scary. He might transform
into a misunderstanding monster.
It's incredible. It really is.
But when Yukiemon had
that spat with Hollywood
and wanted someone to listen to her,
she went to Anchovy, not Johnny.
He's a good listener
and has a soft touch. He's like…
He's a nice guy.
I was shocked when his kindness
turned into delusional thoughts.
It's so scary
and makes me think Anchovy
might transform into a horrible monster.
I think this will stir something up.
He'll definitely do something that will
trump Johnny and Hollywood's argument.
-He'll stir something up?
-Yeah.
Then there's Hollywood,
whose likability is skydiving.
Do people say that? It's "skydiving"?
It's skydiving, at least in my mind.
Yeah, you're right.
-Ducks.
-How cute.
Today, they're making a sign
they all designed together.
It's so colorful.
Totchan gathers her courage
and approaches Tabo.
Nice.
-She went for Tabo.
-She still likes him.
Won't you forget what to do
if you haven't dated in seven years?
-Yeah, you do forget.
-Right?
I was married for ten years, so…
But it's, like, can you be
attracted to the opposite sex?
Right.
Or would you be able to have sex?
Exactly.
During the day?
Isn't that what having a lover is about?
-Midday village sex chats?
-Every week!
Once you become friends,
it's over for some people.
It's, like, having it go from that
to romance is pretty difficult.
Right?
Yeah.
But then Tabo says…
Right?
Living together like this
and doing the same work together
will likely bring
everyone together at first.
Right.
But will we get closer romantically…
Right.
…or as friends?
Or maybe we'll get close
like family members that live together.
-We don't know how it'll go.
-Everyone paired up.
-I'm having fun? Yeah.
-You are?
-I still don't know what Tabo's feeling.
-Right?
Okay.
Uh-oh.
It felt like
I was getting nothing in return.
What do you mean?
-He doesn't feel anything for you?
-Yeah, like he's not into me.
You can tell by talking to each other.
Yeah.
Just by his reaction.
I was like, "Here we go again."
The people I'm into
usually aren't into me.
So that's what she's been through.
I wasn't surprised.
THE NEXT DAY
The housemates spent their time
however they wanted the next day.
YOGA
Time like this is nice.
Punch from your back,
and when you make contact…
Anchovy is the one teaching?
-Hollywood is doing his own thing.
-There's so much going on here.
Meanwhile, Yukiemon…
was writing a message.
"Thank you for being born"?
Actually, Yukiemon…
lost her mother at an early age.
My mother died of cancer.
There was nothing
I could really do for her then.
You didn't have a chance
to be a good daughter.
-I didn't have a chance either.
-You didn't?
I didn't.
I wanted to show my mom my work.
Yeah.
It was cancer in my mom's case too.
Stage four.
Same here. Oh no, I'm starting to cry.
I wanted to show her.
In the end, NHK did me a favor so she
could see it, but she was already gone.
-It's hard talking about my folks.
-It is.
Just like Hollywood,
she lost her mother to cancer.
THAT NIGHT
Welcome! It's been way too long!
Tonight, they decided
to enjoy dinner in their nightwear.
He even has a tail?
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
"He even has a tail?"
Cheers!
It wasn't just ears.
Hollywood sat…
He brought ears and a tail.
…in the seat furthest from Yukiemon.
They're keeping their distance.
Who's keeping away from whom?
Here you go.
How nice of you. So much rice in it.
That will be 3,000 yen.
You can read his thoughts.
Hollywood seems unusually down.
With his tail on?
Actually, he was supposed to be in charge
of dinner with Yukiemon that evening, but…
Yukiemon was supposed to cook with me.
Anchovy invited her to go talk over there.
That's fine. Yeah, I'll make it, then.
Better go get her,
or he'll snatch her away.
What is going on over there?
She said she'd make dinner, didn't she?
This is scary.
Well, let's get cooking.
-He backed off.
-Good for him.
Unfortunately, I think
she put some space between us.
He can tell.
Meanwhile, the sage psychologist,
Johnny, is having a blast.
I want to hear about
everyone's idea of love.
-What is love?
-What is love to you?
-What is love?
-You don't expect anything in return.
But I totally expect something.
That's not love.
-I'm saying ideally.
-Ideally, right?
With family, you love them
and always want to do
whatever you can for them.
No matter what happens,
I'll rush to their side.
Love is when it gets to that level.
I've never said, "I love you."
Really?
Let's hear Totchan's idea of love.
I don't want to.
Speaking in front of three
or more people is embarrassing.
And you, Hollywood?
I think love is one-sided.
What do you mean?
I think continuing to love someone
without expecting anything is love.
I think that's nice.
Johnny began speaking about love too.
Plato spoke about love.
Another lecture!
-He always gets academic.
-He likes to quote people.
…all your love to someone
without expecting anything in return.
Plato also said
sexual desire is not real love.
So he refers to love without lust as--
Platonic love, right?
-Right.
-I remember that.
That's what I'm always striving for.
She said it before he could.
Don't interrupt.
I'm sorry. I really am.
I left that pause there on purpose.
What's done is done.
He's disappointed.
Meanwhile, something about Tabo
had piqued Yukiemon's interest,
so she decided to ask.
-Are you always so together?
-Not at all.
You haven't shown us your real self.
You've only shown us
your good side so far.
That's true.
Tabo has always remained
composed while drinking
and calmly dealt with arguments.
He's a good-looking guy
with no faults in sight.
Ever lost it or totally fallen apart?
I have.
You have, definitely.
But you haven't shown it.
It hasn't gotten to that point here,
but it could.
When will that be?
How about now?
I don't know.
I can't just lose it right now.
In Tabo's diary that day…
"Yukiemon's words hit home."
"I'm still dragging that baggage around."
-Huh?
-What could it be?
"No way I'll bare everything
to people I've just met."
What happened?
Meanwhile, Hollywood is feeling down
because he can't talk to Yukiemon.
His tail's now a pillow.
Yukiemon, can we talk a bit?
-Sure we can.
-Sorry.
He called Yukiemon over.
-He's going right for it.
-A straight pitch.
They haven't talked since their fight.
That's right.
-Listen.
-What?
Yukiemon, you're too confident sometimes.
I know you might not like that side of me.
So you know. You know, but…
He's kinda drunk.
I know that, but it's who I am.
Sure, but tone it down a bit.
But if I keep doing that,
it might end up like this again.
Yeah, but I wanna make
a woman like that mine.
You just want to do it.
What comes next once I'm yours?
-I'll treat you right.
-Will you?
-I will. Like crazy.
-Really?
Yeah, we'll make my dreams--
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
I really will.
Sorry.
I bet he won't.
I mean, he's totally drunk.
You're drunk.
-But Hollywood likes her a lot, huh?
-Right?
Yukiemon spoke her mind, too,
so I think it went well.
That BGM is great.
I think there's quite a bit of hope here.
The tail is not a mic.
I get the feeling the odds are about 7:3.
Seven to three?
Can I say something
I'm totally not supposed to?
Are men stupid?
What the hell?
-Analyze things calmly.
-They're not calm and collected.
Maybe he doesn't see it,
but I can list
several things wrong with Hollywood.
Several?
Like things I don't think are very good.
But he keeps coming on strong,
and Yukiemon can't resist.
So there's a chance
she might mistake that for actual love.
I see. Right.
-She can't resist his advances.
-Exactly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't listen.
She asks whether
he'll really treat her right.
She's giving him a chance to respond.
-That's true.
-It is.
When Hollywood hears that,
he goes, "I have a 7:3 chance
if she's asking me that."
He's so positive,
but I'm not feeling a seven at all.
Today finds the housemates
building something.
Go like this, and spread it carefully
so none of it falls off,
and then it goes like this.
-Then you go like this.
-What're they making?
They stack one brick after another.
It's square.
It's not a flower bed. What is it?
-Okay, it's done.
-All right!
It looks good, right?
And just like that,
they built a barbecue grill.
That sign is so cute.
And then…
It's grilling.
-How nice.
-That's great.
They put it right to work.
That's so cool.
-Let's dig in.
-Let's dig in.
This here is steak.
We lightly seasoned it
with salt and pepper,
removed the tendons,
and marinated it in fruit for a bit.
I can't bite through it!
-I can't either.
-Uh-oh.
He said he removed the tendons.
See? Better not to talk too big.
If you get greedy and take a big piece,
it'll have tendons.
I'll go cut it smaller
before my crowns come off.
That night…
Her crowns might come off.
…Totchan had a gloomy look on her face.
-She does.
-That's when…
What's wrong? Lovesick?
-Lovesick?
-Your big brother is all ears.
Really? Can we go over there?
You're serious about this?
-No good?
-You're serious?
-It's totally fine.
-Okay, then, just a bit.
-Now's a good time.
-Is this a good idea?
A confession of love?
It must be.
-No way.
-Don't jump the gun.
What's going on?
Just say it in front of everyone.
-It's not like that.
-It'd feel good.
A certain someone told me,
"Totchan, you've never put effort
into romance before, have you?"
I thought, "Wait, that's not true."
As Totchan starts talking,
the other housemates start buzzing about.
-What?
-Why?
Whoa, wait. They can see you.
No, they can't due to the lighting.
Hurry! The whipped cream is in the fridge.
-The writing.
-Careful of the writing.
It gets me down
and bothers me more than I thought.
I've been thinking about what they said
for two or three days.
Okay, they gave the signal.
It's okay here?
-Everyone has a party popper?
-Yes.
-You want some? I'll get it.
-Sure.
White wine?
She's good.
Hollywood, come here a sec.
Could you check the wine?
This is wonderful.
Ready?
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Look at his face.
He's turning around!
Today is Hollywood's 52nd birthday.
Happy birthday.
Wow, that's amazing!
This is awesome!
He looks so happy.
-Made a wish?
-Did you?
They blew it out together.
Thank you so much.
-This is from everyone.
-Messages.
Is that what she was making?
Take your time reading it.
-Wanna eat?
-Yeah, let's eat. Let's all have some.
Let's eat.
It's been decades since anyone
celebrated my birthday with me.
"Thank you for being born"
is something your mom or dad would say.
I was so happy.
THANK YOU FOR BEING BORN
-It's kinda childish.
-That's what's nice about it.
We made it with what we had.
I'm so moved.
It's making my nose run,
and I'm tearing up.
That's so cute!
Are you crying?
If anywhere, this is when you gotta cry.
"You gotta cry"?
-You're crying?
-Well, men don't cry though.
-You're crying, ain't ya?
-You're crying, ain't ya?
-It's raining hard.
-It's starting to rain.
-Oh no.
-This is bad.
-We gotta eat fast.
-Yeah.
-Can I put this away? Be right back.
-The rain will ruin it.
Right. It'll get wet.
I gotta take good care of this.
I love that about him.
It's straight from the heart.
-This rain is no joke!
-Ready, go! Watch out.
What's with this rain?
-At least it waited for us!
-How could this happen?
It waited till you cried.
This surprise party
was actually planned by…
He'll find out if he sees us
making the pancake tower.
So keep him out of the kitchen.
We'll do a barbecue and fireworks.
Yeah! That's what I was thinking!
It was Yukiemon and Johnny's idea.
Johnny too?
I think today's birthday party
was Yukiemon's idea.
That's what Johnny said.
She was thinking entirely about me…
so I feel like she'd say okay.
I think my odds are 8:3 today.
It went up!
But the numbers don't add up to ten!
Eight and three equal eleven.
Right, sorry.
Then, let's go with 8:2 odds.
That's so like Hollywood
to not change the three.
THE NEXT DAY
Today, the housemates continue their work.
What's that? What're they making?
Meanwhile, Hollywood is…
-I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
-Okay.
No need to announce it.
How does it look as a whole?
Is it too far from the sofa?
-Now that you mention it, it is.
-You're right.
Is the restroom outside?
Wait. Is he going to…
I want Yukiemon to be with me
even after she leaves Love Village.
He's going up the hill.
Hollywood has decided to confess his love.
He is heading to the Bell of Love.
-It's happening!
-It is!
Hollywood was more serious
than anyone about finding a wife.
Oh no. I think I'm gonna cry.
He had a mental picture
of what an ideal couple would be like.
Hold on.
And that would be…
I'm so moved.
-He made up his mind.
-I hope it goes well.
My dad was a Kyushu man,
the man of the house.
I'm hungry.
Yes, dear.
He never said more than necessary,
and Mom simply obeyed.
My mother was diagnosed
with breast cancer 15 years ago
and received treatment at home.
However…
Hey, make dinner. Run a bath.
I hated my father. He made me so mad.
I truly thought married life
without love was pointless.
My mother passed away in 2021.
What I saw that day…
Hey, Hitomi!
I see.
What's wrong with crying?
"What's wrong with crying?"
That's what he said.
He said, "What's wrong with crying?"
I said, "There's nothing wrong with it.
It's okay to cry if you want."
I realized that he loved her.
My dad kept her altar spotless.
He had never done any cleaning or laundry,
but he always treats her remains
with great care.
He leaves flowers
and some kind of snack there for her.
I see.
That was the real love
between my mom and dad.
It made me realize I want to find
someone I truly love, like my father did.
And then…
he met Yukiemon.
She's pretty sociable
and family-oriented,
and she says what's on her mind.
She would be a good partner for an actor.
I think she's a very kind-hearted woman.
That's true.
Yeah.
I see.
And as a man, it's the first time
I've wanted to have children.
Yukiemon's so cute.
I want a Hollywood Jr.
-What?!
-It's happening.
-Go for it!
-Will he ring it?
It's so cool,
a guy with a determined look.
If they find their sweetheart,
they'll ring the Bell of Love
and profess their love.
Wow, everyone is about to find out
when they hear the bell ring.
-Everyone will be like, "What?"
-Yeah.
All right. Here goes.
-Whoa, he rang it.
-That explains his bathroom announcement.
-You can hide it here?
-You can hide it.
-It's looking nice.
-Huh?
-Is it ringing?
-It rang.
-It's ringing?
-It just rang.
It rang just now.
-It's ringing like crazy.
-What?!
Who is it?
It's not the sweet-potato man, is it?
-Who is it?
-Who's not here?
Isn't it Hollywood?
He said he was going to the restroom.
-He went to the restroom.
-Then, it's Hollywood.
-Seriously?!
-So it is Hollywood.
-I got goosebumps.
-Wait.
I thought I was hearing things.
She knows it's her.
All right.
All right.
-Now the name.
-Here it comes.
Yukiemon, I've something to say.
Can you come out?
-Me?
-That's right.
-Seriously?
-Yep.
Oh my.
She has a skip in her step.
I hope it goes well.
That's Hollywood for you.
They are a good match.
Anchovy must feel conflicted.
Right. He thought she liked him.
That's right.
-Huh?!
-What?!
-It's over?!
-No way!
You're kidding!
You're leaving us hanging?
Feeling like this?
Damn, it's, like,
I didn't think Love Village
would move me like this.
I hated Hollywood,
but then I started to really like him.
Huh? You're really crying right now.
Well, I also lost my mom to cancer,
so maybe I feel a connection there too.
I suddenly became a huge Hollywood fan.
-Can I get a tissue?
-What?!
Well, I hope it goes well for him.
Man…
Atsushi's crying.
That's right.
I was trying my hardest not to cry.
I tried to hold it in, but I couldn't.
-That boorish man…
-Right?
I see. He had that kind
of friction with his dad,
and he was moved
when he saw his dad crying.
So that's why
he wanted to find someone to love.
Right.
-Becky.
-Yeah?
He went to put that birthday card
in his suitcase, right?
When I heard you say,
"I love that about him,"
it's like my tear ducts broke down.
What? That's when?
Yeah. He really has that side to him.
He's straight from the heart.
He really is.
"Thank you for being born"
really got to him.
What foreshadowing.
I was like, "What does
that message mean, and who's it for?"
when she was writing it.
That means Yukiemon likes him.
So I think it's gonna go well.
Atsushi's suddenly on Hollywood's side.
He's on a roll.
After I insisted
his likability was skydiving.
You said, "I can list
several things wrong with him."
I'm so sorry, Hollywood.
