Reiji (レイジ) walked out of Mugen Den (無限でん) — the old apartment he called his "strongest home" — after an unwanted visitor pushed him over the edge, moving to a different unit in the same building. On moving day he cried seven times, and the chaos kept coming: Yamaguchi's (山口) brand-new 400,000-yen drum washer was turned away at the door, setting off a PayPay refund saga. The episode covers the messy, funny, and oddly moving reality of their new home life.

## What this episode answers

### What was the real reason Reiji left Mugen Den?

Someone came to his house and he hated it. He had no complaints about the apartment itself — calling it "the strongest home" — but a chain of incidents stemming from radio and YouTube interactions became the final push.

### Why did Reiji cry seven times on moving day?

The apartment was packed with so many memories that the entire timeline, from his first night to his last, played back in his head — the solo viewing day, the post-move pizza party with friends, and Yamaguchi's buzzcut incident among them.

### What happened to Yamaguchi's 400,000-yen washing machine?

On delivery day the movers said "it won't fit" and took the machine back; a follow-up attempt with Reiji's own AQUA Black model also failed. The 400,000-yen PayPay payment was successfully refunded, and they eventually bought a different model for 120,000 yen, with a plan to purchase a separate standalone dryer later.

### What furniture and appliances did they get for the new place, and what does daily life look like?

Reiji bought a large TV, a dining table, and a custom green chair specifically for Yamaguchi; Yamaguchi fell so hard for chairs that he kept buying more. They now have a standing ritual of watching the love reality show Ai no Sato (愛の里) together over drinks.

### What has happened to Mugen Den since the move?

Reiji is still renting Mugen Den and visits frequently for YouTube filming, with much of his belongings still there; he has already floated a future plan to earn big, renovate the place, and connect the neighboring room via a corridor to create a detached annex.

## Why Reiji Left Mugen Den

The reason Reiji walked away from Mugen Den — the old apartment he called "the strongest home" — is disarmingly simple. "Someone came to my house and I hated it so much I moved. That's really all it was," he says flatly. He had no actual grievances with the apartment itself; it was a series of events sparked by radio and YouTube interactions that finally made him act.

## The Memories Baked into Mugen Den

Reiji cried seven times on moving day. "Every time I open my mouth, tears and memories come out together," he recalls, saying that the entire timeline — from his first night in the apartment to the final moment he walked out — played back like a film.

The apartment hunt had originally been a joint trip with Yamaguchi, but Yamaguchi was called back to Shizuoka for a makeup exam, so Reiji ended up viewing the place alone. Yamaguchi told him to "just go ahead and decide," and Reiji said yes on the spot. On the very first night, a single sock was inexplicably sitting in the middle of the empty room.

The move itself was handled by four people — including Tomonari (友成), who would later open Maru Ao Shokudo (丸青食堂), and Ucchi (ウッチー) — using a rental car, with a celebration afterward featuring pizza, white sour cocktails, and grape chuhai. That same day, Yamaguchi got a disastrous 1,000-yen haircut that left his hair floating upward; Reiji tried to encourage him while barely suppressing laughter, and the eventual solution was a pair of clippers and a full buzzcut. In winter the apartment was so cold that even with the heating on full blast you still needed a down jacket, and Sakuma (さくま), who came by for studio sessions, complained that the tips of his toes were freezing.

Reiji is still renting Mugen Den and visits often for YouTube filming, with plenty of his belongings still there. He has already floated an ambitious future plan: earn big, renovate the place, and connect the neighboring room via a corridor to create a proper detached annex.

## New Apartment, Same Routine

The new place is a different unit in the same building — Reiji on the second floor, Yamaguchi on the first — carrying on the upper-and-lower arrangement they had during the Mugen Den era. Because Yamaguchi is in Reiji's room until around midnight most nights, Reiji bought a dining table and a custom green chair made to order for him right from the start. A large TV was also added, and watching the love reality show Ai no Sato together over drinks has become a standing ritual. "I watch Ai no Sato because I want to see 60-year-olds lose their minds," Reiji laughs. Even the casual neighborhood bike rides feel no different from Mugen Den days — including the discovery of a "creepy house" decorated with ladders and green protective tape arranged to mimic plants.

## Yamaguchi's 400,000-Yen Washing Machine Saga

Yamaguchi bought a drum-style washer-dryer for 400,000 yen, but on delivery day the movers looked at the doorway and said "it won't fit" — and took the machine back. A follow-up attempt with Reiji's own AQUA Black model also ended in failure. Reiji's working theory is that the movers measured the opening just slightly smaller than it actually is, though the truth remains unknown. The 400,000 yen, paid via PayPay, was successfully refunded — the nightmare scenario of receiving the money back as store points was avoided — and they eventually settled on a different model for 120,000 yen. Without a drying function, Yamaguchi is planning to buy a standalone home dryer called Kanta-kun (カンタ君) at a later date.

## Discovering What Furniture Actually Is

Neither of them had ever chosen their own furniture before, and because they were only comparing notes with each other, they ended up buying from the same brand and effectively built two identical rooms. Yamaguchi became so obsessed with a particular chair that he kept ordering more; his room is slowly becoming a chair gallery.

Along the way they encountered furniture terminology for the first time — ottoman, stool, side table — and found themselves genuinely delighted each time they learned what something was for. At a lighting store, a salesperson told them exactly how far below the ceiling to hang a pendant light in a room with a 2m40 ceiling height so that food on the dining table looks its most appetizing, and both were astonished by the specificity. As for their previous lighting situation: Reiji revealed that Mugen Den's light fixture had been a "mushi-beil" (虫ベール) — an insect-zapping trap masquerading as a lamp. The new apartment is the first time either of them has had to think seriously about proper lighting.

## Takeaways

- Reiji left Mugen Den solely because he hated having someone come to his house, and is still renting the old apartment for YouTube filming while planning a future renovation that would expand it into a detached annex.
- Yamaguchi's 400,000-yen drum washer was turned away at the door on delivery day; after a failed second attempt, the PayPay payment was fully refunded and a 120,000-yen replacement was purchased, with a separate dryer to follow.
- Both Reiji and Yamaguchi chose their own furniture for the first time, accidentally buying from the same brand and creating two near-identical rooms, while discovering a passion for chairs — and basic furniture vocabulary — along the way.
