Minane and Nakasan Are Planning Future Together
Let’s now talk about Minane and Nakasan, the couple who may not have gotten together most conventionally, according to the show but remained a fan favorite. After being rejected by Minane, Nakasan left the house, followed by the end of the show’s production. He reconnected with her in the real world, and their budding friendship turned into a romance following a drunken night and a kiss. While the couple is not exactly sure when they will get married, they did have their pre-wedding photoshoot about four months after they left the Netflix show. Nakasan, a father to two beautiful girls, continues to work in the real estate industry, while Minane is a picture book author with a son.
Yukiemon is Working as a Barista
Even though Yukiemon‘s love life seems to have started strongly while in the show, she did not seem much interested in anyone after Hollywood left the house. However, her closeness with Anchovy made the latter think she might be interested in him. The reality TV star does not seem to be active on the internet and is seemingly working as a Barista in the service industry.
Anchovy is Enhancing Culinary Skills
Despite leaving the show as a single man, Anchovy‘s life within the show brought much entertainment to the viewers. He is the Owner and Chef of a highly successful restaurant in Setagaya, Japan. Anchovy himself is an expert in Italian cuisine though any food cooked by the reality TV star certainly seems delicious, no matter the origin. Not only has he been happily promoting the show, but he is also quite fond of gardening.
Hollywood is Seeking Love and Friendship
It does not seem like Hollywood is very active on social media, even though his fans have only continued to grow daily. The actor’s efforts to find love may have failed on the show, but he remains hopeful that he will soon meet the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Besides, he made endearing friendships with some of his co-stars like Tabo, Anchovy, and Johnny, who entered the house at the same time as him.
Johnny is Advancing Psychology Practice
Having left the Netflix show due to his work obligations, Johnny‘s presence in the series was much missed in season 1. A graduate of Keio University and the California School of Psychology, the reality TV star is an accomplished psychologist exceptionally dedicated to his work. Indeed, Johnny had gotten special permission to continue his work online while being part of the social experiment. Yet, this certainly put a damper on his plans to find his partner, though he did seem tentatively interested in Yukiemon.
Tomochin is Conducting Fitness Sessions Online
Body Shape Instructor Tomochin turned many heads in the show, and she has indeed received her fair share of praise from the viewers. The fitness expert is also beloved for her work, with people heaping praise for the same via the internet. Tomochin offers online workout sessions to those interested in getting in shape through platforms like Instagram.
Numa P is Creating Anime Content Today
Despite his short stay in the Netflix series, Shinnosuke Numata, AKA Numa P, was one of the most intriguing cast members who quickly became a fan favorite. The Anime Creator enjoys his work immensely and has been a part of many beloved Japanese productions. Additionally, he is quite a foodie and seems fond of fishing.
