Hey everyone,

We recorded this episode live as a way for the two of us to talk through and process everything that’s happened with the passing of Hana Kimura. We wanted to thank everyone who joined us in helping to create a safe and welcoming space.

In essence, we wanted to allow for the exact opposite kind of online presence that led to this tragedy. If the world worked as it should, those who sent harmful messages would be held accountable. The platforms responsible for allowing that kind of vitriolic harassment would be held accountable. The list goes on.

At the end of the day, Hana was a beacon of light, and one that will be missed. It never should have ended this way, and she deserved better. Please please please: Be kind to yourselves and others. Reach out and help each other, especially now. Call out bad actors, hold them accountable. Do everything you can to act on this moment going forward.

Thank you so much.

RIP Hana

Unfortunately this episode is also our last. We can no longer in good faith support a show that doesn’t support its cast in any meaningful way. Whether Terrace House returns or not, we won’t be covering it.

Thank you so much for supporting us over the years. It means so much to have carved out such a vibrant and wholesome slice of the internet to call our own. You all made it an absolute joy.

We’ll be back soon with something new, so stay subscribed to the feed if you want to come along for the ride.

We love you all! Aloha for now!!
