After last week's barn-burner of an episode, we needed a little bit of a breather. There are still plenty moments of joy this week, but first, let's get the Kenny-Haruka-Risako love triangle out of the way.

The episode begins with Haruka and Shohei checking out a festival in Ebisu where their friends are performing. They watch "Aloha State" alumnus Yusuke Aizawa — who seems to be becoming a regular cast member at this point — jam out on his ukulele. Did he sell his soul to be featured this heavily on this season of "Terrace House"?

Haruka later tells Shohei that she couldn't watch Kenny's show because she's still not completely over him. We see Kenny take the stage and look around the audience, but all he sees is Shohei making silly faces at him. Just before he starts to rock out — BAM! — we are back at the house and don't get to see Kenny's band play. I'm sure panelist Yama-chan is happy that Kenny is no longer receiving so much free airtime for his music career.
