Mizuki grows increasingly skeptical of Yuudai, who keeps buying things using his father's credit card. Tsubasa and Shion head to Kusatsu Onsen.

Mizuki spends the night in Tokyo with her old boyfriend. Shut out by Ami, Yuudai reconnects with an old girlfriend too, while Takayuki tries to help.

Yuudai wants to be independent, but he's struggling. Later, Ami starts crying when Yuudai asks her bluntly what she wants to do with her life.

Yuudai vows to make changes and finds a restaurant to work at, while Ami makes some career decisions. The two of them go on a date in Karuizawa.

Ami and Yuudai both dissect their date with the other members. Yuudai is taken aback by Ami's attitude towards him the next day.

Six strangers gather in a house in Karuizawa. Aged 19 to 31, they've got one thing in common: they'll be living together in a beautiful town.

As everyone settles in, Yuudai shows off his cooking skills. When some members go out to lunch, he seems to hit it off with one girl in particular.

In the midst of discussing their dreams for the future, Shion gives Ami some advice. Then a group visits Tsubasa's father's restaurant.

Tsubasa and Shion visit a temple for good luck before her team's big game. Meanwhile, Mizuki makes a decision, and Yuudai cooks for a house party.

Takayuki takes Ami to a breathtaking cafe, while Tsubasa's confidence takes a hit after hearing about Shion's ex. On Christmas, new members arrive.

Seina and Takayuki take a stroll in Kyu-Karuizawa. When Ami hears about it, she invites Takayuki snowboarding. Then Shion and Tsubasa go ice-skating.

When Ami and Takayuki go snowboarding, she tells him something very intriguing. Shion answers a question about Tsubasa, and then it's New Year's.

Some of the members go snowboarding, but Ami and Takayuki only have eyes for each other. Tsubasa goes to Tokyo to buy Shion a birthday present.

The members throw a birthday party for Ami and Shion, and Takayuki surprises everyone by shaving his mustache. Tsubasa gives Shion his gift privately.

Shohei and Ami go out together, but there isn't really a spark. In the face of Ami's cold attitude, Takayuki starts to regrow his mustache.

Takayuki tells Seina and Shohei that he no longer has feelings for Ami, but Shohei's feelings for her have grown. Ami, meanwhile, makes a choice.

Just before Ami's scheduled departure, Shohei meets her at the station for a surprise trip to the slopes – and he's got a plan. A new member arrives.

It's Valentine's Day, and Tsubasa is about to head to Nagoya for the national championships. Shion has something to tell her before she goes.

With the tournament over, Tsubasa has time to think about her next steps – including her reply to Shion. Shohei heads into the recording studio.

Tsubasa gives Shion her answer. On a snowy day, Mayu and Takayuki talk about love, while Shohei and Seina continue spending time together.

Seina returns from a trip to Korea looking somewhat different. Takayuki and Mayu go out to eat, and Tsubasa makes another decision.

Two new members arrive: aspiring pilot Noah and Karuizawa native, Yui. Almost immediately, Noah and Mayu head out on a date.

Takayuki takes Noah to the yakitori place. Mayu really likes Noah, and she gets nervous when he and Yui plan to spend time together.

Shohei takes Seina out on a birthday dinner. Awkwardness reigns when Mayu's time with Noah goes nowhere. Noah and Yui go on their planned outing.

Yui keeps trying to patch things up with Mayu. Shohei prepares for an album release show in Shibuya, then asks Yui for some local tips.
