First of all to the people who have given me positive messages, I just want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart
You guys are the reason I'm still here, you guys are the reason to keep on moving and make this world a better place
I'm also sorry for anyone who has been worried about my well being
But I'm here now to give you guys nothing else but the truth
2 weeks prior to May23rd, I spoke to Hana directly on the phone
Before that day we spoke on the phone, Hana gave me a call but at that time of my life I wasn't able to pick up her call
I was in a state of depression not being able to trust anyone else beside my tight circle
I don't know what has caused it but I assume it came from having too many things change in such a short amount of time
But after everything was gone and I was in a good state, I was able to talk to Hana again.
The most surprising thing she did, was accept me with open arms
She didn't blame me but she was very pure and talked to me like none of this ever happened
My heart filled up with joy, I couldn't stop smiling
We were back together
First of all she confessed to me that none of the actions she took while she got mad at me came deep within her
Before that moment she talked to the staff about the situation and she was told by them that a slap would be nice
If everyone doesn't know something about Hana, she is a very pure person that always thinks about people around her before she does about her self
She loves to give people what they want, she loves to do things for other people
That is what led her to take those actions against me
I was relieved hearing those words from her, because it made me understand that those things she said and did to me weren't true to her heart
She also told me from the start, she never was going to accept any money from me
So I asked her "Then let's go to a nice fancy restaurant, dress up and have fun together again"
She said "of course!", which then made me realize that this relationship was real
It was something true to our selves, something that cannot be taken away by something physical
We were more than that, and that made me extremely happy
Accepting me for who I am, saying her side of the story, and agreeing to go out with me
Hana decided to open up to me even more, and told me what has been inside of her
She told me that the comments and the messages she has been getting from people, have been hurting her a lot, and because of that she has been physically hurting herself
The moment I heard that from her, my heart sank
I couldn't really believe what she was saying because I have not expected anything like this to ever happen
To be honest, I don't really get the mentality of the people posting nasty comments to other human beings
But that actually made me a little sad for those people posting those comments because inside, they are not truly happy with life
If I was happy every single day and loved my life, I wouldn't even think of saying nasty things to people I don't even know in real life
I'm not saying that it is what it is, but I can't really blame them individually for what they have done
I can only understand and move forward with what I can contribute to those people
But at the end Hana told me she was okay because she came to a conclusion of her own with this whole situation she has gone through
She said, "I realized that the opinions of the people I don't know and people who don't know me doesn't really matter at the end. Because what really matters and what makes me happy is if the people around me are feeling happy"
I was happy those words were coming out of her and so I told her I'm glad she came to that realization and how true that statement is
We talked again about when we were going to dinner, a little bit about the kitten she was getting the next day and hung up the phone
I thought our dinner day would come to us like every other day has come
But this time that wasn't the case...
The next time I met Hana was at her funeral
She was resting with her eyes closed, with pretty make up on
She was beautiful and seemed like she was smiling in the inside
Everything seemed like it was more free, nothing else for her to worry about
She was truly resting in peace
I can't directly talk with Hana anymore, but sometimes I do get to talk to her
The other day in the mountains near the river
The sunlight shining through the mountains hitting the slippery surface of the river and the light bouncing off making it seem like there are endless diamonds in the river
Every time I would ask a question she would have an answer
and she told me to not stop but keep on going, don't let this whole thing make you not do the things you want to do
Hearing that from her made me happy and made me understood what I would like to do from here on out on this place on earth
My first mission is to team up with Hana's mom and to get this NPO group under Hana's name for people who need help that are getting cyber bullied, and to spread it out there
Something we all need to understand and focus more is the tragedy of cyber bullying and what it can do to people mentally
I'm going to be one of the main starting members so I can help more people in this world directly
Second of all I want to spread my art more out into the world
I understand that my biggest strength I have is being able to express my self and my values through art
If more people can understand what I am about and what I am trying to do, I feel like this place would be a much better place than what it is currently
These are the two main things what I am capable of doing right now and will be the focus throughout my life here on earth
So Thank you so much for the people who have read this blog until the end
I just want to let you guys know that I truly love you guys
The support I get means so much more that what you guys can imagine because the love is so real
I hope I was able to express the message clearly and directly to your guys's heart
I hope you have a wonderful day, and maybe I can meet you guys someday in the near future
Thank you
Love,
Kai

ReplyDeleteThank you for opening up with us about this. This was truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Kai, really happy to see this blog post. What happened to Hana and on Terrace house was really unfortunate. I can never watch the show the same way ever again. But we all got to move forward and stay positive, do not let the internet bullies have their way, we have much more important things in our lives to get moving on. I’ll look forward to your new stuff and works! Thank you and let us all learn to self-love again!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kai for this. It’s certainly not easy, & the road ahead tough. But there will be supporters behind you.
ReplyDeletePs. Always thought your art style to be expressive and interesting to look at
You both are angels! We love you and thanks for letting us know how’s your feeling by English. It’s really sweet! Please stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Kai. Love you too buddy.. there has to be something, a bigger picture in all of this saddness. We can change the world. Rock on!
ReplyDelete- jess

ReplyDeleteWhen you spoke to us after a long time, it made me relieved. I am glad that I know that you are fine. Even if this situation is still fresh now, we'll be able to get back on track.
ReplyDeleteKeep creating your art, it will help many people. Even if I never meet you in real life, I will still support you in what you do because I think you are a wonderful person. I feel much lighter now.
Wish you all the best and I look forward to your future ideas. ❤
Hi Kai, more respect to you having heard your side of the story and just know we will be supporting you mentally. Stay strong and keep going ya
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your words Kai!
ReplyDeletefeel so grateful that you are OK and what you are doing now.Let’s give more love and made the better world together :,) support you always (hug)❤️
Thank you Kai for writing in Japanese and English so that more people in the community know as clear as possible what your thoughts are. Thank you for taking the time to do this and eventhough I got the gist from your earlier post in Japanese, reading it in English really drive the message even harder how serious you are and the direction you are building for yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt might be a long and ardous journey championing this cause but you have us for support in however way possible - be it art or simple encouraging words.
Really glad to hear you’re updating and like the rest, really glad you are in a better headspace. Let’s definitely make this word a better place by having the courage to be truthful and kind in whatever medium we can. Looking forward to seeing your future blossoming!
I'm sending you all the love that I can. I hope it will reach you. Hana is such a sweet girl and I really believe that your souls were meant to meet. She would be proud of what you wrote right here, so I hope you'll be able to reach your goals and to show her how far you will go. ❤️
ReplyDeleteStay well, Kai. We are here for you
ReplyDeleteThanks Kai for your genuine transparency. It’s unfortunate that you have to explain yourself but I understand that this may also bring closure to you as well. Continue to focus on the things that bring you and the people around you joy. I loved watching you on the show and will continue to support you from afar! You have always seemed like you were very intentional with whatever you said. And I hope that you continue to fight whatever inner depression you may have. We never have the answers in life but we can always look back and see the path we were on lead us somewhere. Cheering you on and praying you have peace !
ReplyDeleteKai, first of all thank you for sharing your art to us..I know it is not easy to go through all those emotional stress caused by the hateful feedback both for you and Hana. Please remember that there are people like us who value and appreciate you as a human being. Please be safe always and be well.

ReplyDeleteLike all others, I am extremely pleased to read this and know that you have found motivation and inspiration to do something meaningful to yourself and the world. Please take good care of your soul and spirit, and let others into your heart especially when you are feeling vulnerable. There’s thousands and thousands of people, fans or not, who simply wish the best for you. Just cos. Big big hug.
ReplyDeleteWe love you Kai.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you, take care of yourself, you deserve so so many good things <3
Dear Kai, Thank you for this beautiful message. It’s good to know both you and Hana were good together again.
ReplyDeleteStay well. Everything will be ok cause love always win. Hug
Kai, you are a strong person and watching your growth in an inspiration. You’re a cool ass dude and have a strong human spirit. I’m glad you were there for Hana and have grown tremendously from this experience. I hope we can meet one day too.
ReplyDeleteKeep pressing onward,
Love,
Mary Michalak
Kai— thank you so much for sharing your heart and feelings with us, I can’t imagine what you’ve been going through. I can’t wait to see what direction your art takes and the shape your heart will make with creation. Stay strong, and know that it’s ok to be weak sometimes too. So much love to you and your family <3
ReplyDeleteAlways,
ใกใซใกใใ
Love and respect for you. What you are doing is more meaningful than most of the normal population is doing. You are saving lives by spreading a meaningful message and not falling in line acting that this isn't a issue.
ReplyDeleteYou say Hana is selfless, I think you are too. You're the only Terrence House who risked everything, by speaking out about the situation. We need more people like you and Hana who are genuine.
I'm happy you are taking care of yourself mentally and keeping Hana's memories alive. A lot of us support you and I know you will succeed. Till then, be the amazing person that you are.
Much love from Canada.
Stay strong kai, for hana ๐๐๐ง๐ท
ReplyDeleteHi Kai, i was worried for you because you didn’t make any update on your IG since that day. Now i found and read your blog until the end. I am glad that you are focusing on 2 things which are going to make turn someday. And I will also do my best to stop this disgusting cyber bullying as much as i can. Now i am also relieved after hearing what happened between you and Hana. I hope she is in the much better place than this world. And i hope you will not lose your focus and fight for it! Goodluck Kai! I will always cheer you from here and there will be many more people who have the same opinion as me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this Kai. You must have been shaken. Continue to keep on keeping on.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear from you and that you are doing well. I was worried. Its al so tragic but I'm happy you and Hana talked and the last contact you had was happy. You are truly a wonderful person. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteKai, this is so sad to read, but I'm glad you guys made up. I'm sad because this didn't need to happen. I guess it's a wake-up call. It does not matter if a show says it's unscripted. It is.
ReplyDeletePeople need to be kinder to each other in general. Despite some negative comments I'm glad you are able to come away from this with a positive attitude. That's not easy in situations like this. I hope you feel proud of yourself. Sometimes it takes tragedy to find your purpose. It's not ideal to discover your purpose this way, but I'm glad you did at all. Best of luck in everything you pursue.
Thank for sharing your thoughts with us.
ReplyDeleteI haven't forgot about Hana.
It's beautiful to read your words, your message and be able to understand.
It s great to get to hear the side of the story from the person involved, without cameras.
I don't know if I will watch the show ever again, they should have take more care of all of you.
Take care, live and enjoy your life also for her, share your art. Best of luck

Thank you for writing your emotions so out in the open like this Kai, that was absolutely beautiful. Reading about Hana also was a beautiful thing - she will be missed by so many people around the world, and remembered as a pure, beautiful girl. Thank you for pushing for this NGO with Hana's mum, it'll help so many people in future. You're never alone, just like Hana wasn't ever alone. For all the messages of hate she received, 100 X more people loved her... I wish she could have known this. You are strong and amazing, keep expressing yourself and doing what you do.

Hi, all the way from the UK here. I obviously didn’t know Hana, only through how she was portrayed in terrace house, but her death deeply upset me. I was worried about you after the onscreen conflict that you two had, and believing that was how you two had left it. I’m glad you know you are not responsible for this. It’s the greatest tribute to her to turn this into something positive for other people and help them. I hope this helps with your own depression that I believe you’ve previously struggled with since before the show. Thank you for your beautiful words and for your future actions. Wishing you love and light.

As someone who was a fan of terrace house and loved Hana From the bottom of my heart thank you for coming forward. Because of what you’re doing Hana won’t be forgotten and will continue to spread light through the world. I’m sure this has been such a blessing to Kyoko too. She wanted her daughter to be remembered as she truly was.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you’re safe and doing well! ♡
Sending love and all positive energy
Thank you Kai ❤️ I was moved by reading your words. I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteHi Kai, thank you for being yourself. I may not know you personally but I can see through your words that you are a true human being. I believe this text was not easy to write. Keep doing what you do and what you feel is right to this world. We need more people like you. Remenber that we will always be supporting you, I can see from this comment section that we are a lot :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, we love you
Alice.
Ps: sorry if my English is weird
Thanks for sharing with us Kai, I loved all the moments you had with Hana on the show. You were one of the members who I genuinely felt like I could have related to the most.
ReplyDeleteKai, thank you so much for bringing so much light during these dark times.
ReplyDeleteYesterday morning, I read your Japanese blog post and cried on my way to work. I'm so glad that Hana had a friend like you who listened to her when she needed to be heard.
Mental health is rarely talked about and it's stigmatized here, so I'm especially happy that you're starting these important conversations that need to be had.
I also want to thank you for opening up during your interviews in recent articles. I've been translating them on Twitter so the rest of the world can see. Your transparency is so important and it brings us closer to seeing Hana get the justice she deserves.
I've been regularly reading your blog for a few months now, and I respect your art. Your writing is immaculate and genuine. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do.
I hope you and Hana's mother can start the NPO to reach out to others. If you need volunteers, I would love to help out in some way. When I was in university in 2010-2014, I did mental healthcare outreach with students on-campus and led events among other things.
I live in Osaka. I think you did a stand-up act here a few months ago, but I couldn't attend because of work. ๐ญ I will move to Tokyo in August for grad school though, so I hope I can meet you someday. Like Hana, you were a role model to me on Terrace House.
Take care. Rooting for you! ✨
Hey Kai. You don't know me and I don't know you, but that's okay. I appreciate your post. I know you've been hurting and you got a lot of undeserved hate from people that were maybe looking for something to pin their anger or sadness on, especially those who were led to believe the show was 'real' in the sense everything happened on it without above involvement. I saw the relevant episodes as they aired, only to support Hana - I never cared about the show before or after this and especially now see no reason to get within a mile of it.
ReplyDeleteI miss her every day, man. It's a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I'm glad you are slowly becoming able to confront it, and it takes a lot of strength. The person above me, Ms. Farrah, is the real deal. She can be an asset for you if you ever need one in your journey. I spoke with her very briefly and I think she's been through a lot mentally trying to translate articles for the international audience, but she does it because she cares about the issue being swept away by the guilty parties - the talent agency, the show executives, and the people who don't deserve to call themselves fans.
I planted some flowers months ago in tribute. I lost one to a horrific storm that pelted everything with hail, and I went out the day after and planted a replacement. I see her in every petal, so I want the whole world to bloom perennially.
Thank you :,) as a future mental health care specialist, I appreciate this more than words can express. Please continue to break the silence. Please continue to end the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in Japan. I always knew that something didn't seem particularly right with how terrace house people were portrayed and now that all of this information is coming out, I will never watch the show again. I am incredibly disgusted by all of the hate people on the show receive. Please keep going and know that I appreciate you and all you stand for Kai.
ReplyDeleteKai, you are stronger now. I'm a children's teacher, and like me and you, there are tons of ppl trying to make this world a better place to be in. Sometimes we are so focused on that job, that we don't have time to express how gratefull we are to others like us (or bettersbetter) on social media. As you said, ppl that have troubled lifes, have nothing better to do with time than to spread all the darkness they have to others using social media as their main weapon. I've decided to login each day to

Kai, I’m so happy to hear about you and know that you are doing fine! Your words were so beautiful and i’m so glad about you spreading love and kindness to the world! Thank you a lot for this...lots of love to you, we all support and love you! ๐
ReplyDeleteKai, thanks you for sharing this with us. Still can’t believe that Hana is gone, its too sad for words. I’m glad you were there for Hana and she was not alone. Thank you for sharing awareness about mental health and cyber bullying, people like you will make it possible for things to change.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, with love,
Maya
I just hope you will be happy, you deserve it so much kai ! You are a great aspiration right now for me. By looking at this show, i understood that we can't judge people and put them in boxes after a compromising action or something else. It’s actually really silly to question parent education, life choices, interests of someone appart from one thing they could have done and which we are not sure that represents them since we do not know them. I'm not trying to blame anyone but I’m not surprised that people took the liberty of writing these things to Hana if the hosts themselves allowed it during the show. I'm just eighteen but i can see on TV adults that are making fun of others growing adults, that's scares me and disappoints me at the same time, that's not a good example for children and teenagers. I know it wasn't your point but I will never watch this show or any reality show again. I will instead try to learn how to genuinely embrace every human being i will meet with his qualities and his downsides. For this lesson, thank you kai. I will root for you !!
ReplyDeleteKai, genuinely happy to you are well and moving in tbe best most constructive, and very humane direction. Happy, (and knew it!) that you and Hana kept, and nurtured, the genuine connection that was visible in your everyday interactions. Stay genuine, stay in touch with us, with Hana, and with a lot of new awesome people. Looking forward to more art and written thoughts from you, with great interest. Peace, love, and good fortune ahead!
ReplyDeleteSolid dude. Keep your head high champ, everybody watching TH could see you're a kind and sensitive soul. Big love from EU homie
ReplyDeleteHi Kai, God Bless you. I am rooting for you all the way from Houston, Texas! Keep shining bright.
ReplyDeleteHi Kai, Take care...remember that you are so loved by your family and friends and there is a community out there ( even you don't know us personally) that we will celebrate your successes and cry along with you. It is unfortunate there is one less beautiful soul in this world because of the cruelty of mankind. Keep going mate, your art and words has already impacted more people than you know. God bless...sending good vibes from Aust
ReplyDeleteKai just so you know, every one of your comedy bits made me laugh out loud, each one of them, and I find most stand up comedians to be okay at best. Your jokes remind me a lot of Louie CK's. The salaryman joke was the funniest thing you said and these people just didn't get it. But that's the beauty of it, just like art. A lot of people won't get it, but those who do feel it with their soul. Thanks mate, and as a straight man, you looked hot with short hair ๐ช keep going, I can tell we'd be homies irl, you're a great dude
ReplyDeleteHi Kai, my name is Bradyn. I was really affected by Hana’s death and I still am. I saw your painting for her and it made me cry. But this blog post made me feel at peace, because it was so nice to hear that you were able to feel her presence in the mountains, telling you to keep going. I have a sticker of her on my phone, so I see her everyday and I think of her all the time. After she passed, I fell into a depression that I didn’t think I could get out of. But now I think I’ll look for her in the calm rivers and the fluffy clouds, and I’ll try to think of her laughing. I’ll keep on supporting you. Nearly everyday I google her name, hoping to find any news about a non-profit in her honor that I can support or work with. I miss her so much. Thank you Kai. I hope you’ll stay well and keep making art.
