This is it! After years of talking Terrace House across multiple podcasts, we cap MATCHA off with this full-length, live reaction to the Terrace House movie “Closing Door.” We welcome Scott Schulz AKA “hearthrose” to the show to lend his commentary and expertise.

We've made it! The BGND journey is reaching its emotional end and I couldn’t be happier to have you all along for the ride. To all the Terrace House fans from all over the world, your support of the podcast has been incredible and covering this show is something that I will remember for the rest of my life. Arigato gozaimasu!

This week is all about Daiki and Seina. Will they stand-up paddle board into the sunset together? Or will that engraved bottle of wine remain unopened? Let the trendiness begin and let’s find out.

This week starts with Michiko giving her answer to KenKen. Tecchan receives some harsh criticism that does not bode well for the future of his acting career. Tokui describes the scene that “shortened” things for him and Daiki plans his confession to Seina.

Oni-chan is on tour so the panel welcomes Maru-kun to fill in the fifth seat. Daiki’s legs have healed enough for him to walk without crutches and KenKen comes back from Hungary with a mustache that  makes Michiko take notice.

Daiki and Seina go on a near-perfect date to Hakone and Yama has some opinions about their ice cream eating habits. The housemates find out, along with the rest of Japan, that Terrace House is ending in September.

This week starts with Tecchan’s birthday party and Daiki and Yosan join the current housemates in celebration. Ryoko does her part to smooth things out with Michiko. Surfer Daiki asks Seina out to Hakone on an “overnight date.”

We get to see Yosan again! The two couples both agree to go on more dates. Ryoko surprises everyone and takes the highroad to patch things up with the roommates. Despite the good news and general vibe of the house the panel seems confused.

There’s turmoil in the house as Ryoko becomes emotionally and physically distant from the housemates. Tecchan shows his maturity during an important conversation on the couch. Yukatas are donned at the Kamakura fireworks show and Daiki and Seina share a romantic moment.

Cupid’s arrows are flying high this episode as Siena and Michan get to know Diaki a little better. KenKen makes all the wrong moves and eagerly begins his pursuit for romance with the new girl in the house. We get to catch up with Yosan once again and I'm finally giving up on Tecchan finding love in Terrace House.
