Hey! Sorry to ask, but when will you have another event like this? I would like to know because I want to assit plz!

[@catherinehowell7893]

I'm sorry to hear that Chris didn't get as many views and lost subscriptions with this series. I loved it and really appreciate all the work that went into producing it.

[@michaelsemyanovsky9638]

Such a pity that most viewers can not keep up with the series. I, on the other hand, watched every single episode! I would say it is hard to find quality content on KZbin, but Abroad in Japan is definately an example of one. Feels a lot like Top Gear I used to watch back in the day.

[@jonsnor4313]

How can you unsuscribe when he keepsup amazing content with the usual self depriving humor.

[@jonsnor4313]

Ok it was a slight change of format, possoble that it put off some subscribers, but he got a top physical condition and thats still a win for him.

[@catherinehowell7893]

He said that he lost 600 subscribers, the day he spoke with an American accent. Not quite sure what that reveals about those subscribers. Do they take themselves too seriously?

[@jonsnor4313]

I was sure chris was clear enough that is was a channel. I wont deny it was painful to hear him without his sarcastic british dialect . Maybe they even thought he wanted to become a pirate. X )

[@tomi1964]

Chris is the real “star” here, the reason everyone is here really. But he is so humble and doesn’t seem to mind standing aside to let others shine and share in his success. It’s incredibly refreshing.

[@jont2576]

does chris include natsuki and ryotaro?

[@wakaneut]

Yep, that's what I noticed.

[@KyokujiFGC]

It's funny 'cause Joey is so huge now with Trash Taste, but he wasn't really yet back then.

That's super disappointing that Journey Across Japan had less viewer numbers than Chris' normal stuff. Its probably my favorite Jvlogging period, and convinced me to become a patron.

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

Probably because you'd already have to be invested in his channel to know what was going on. as opposed to his normal vids which focused on one specific topic

Speaking on behalf of Tokyo Creative, thank you to everyone that made this series and event amazing. It was very touching to talk to many of you at the event and hear such positive feedback from you guys. Next month will be a big month for us as we aim to launch Tokyo Creative Learn but we all believe this platform will bring the community together and help you guys learn more about Tokyo Creative creators, assist with your travels to Japan and answer any questions or doubts you may have if you wanted to live in this beautiful country yourself. (Link is pinned to the top)

[@etherdog]

Chris, you do great work. Just remember it is not about you, but the message. You will shine if the message is clear. I think what is most inspiring about your work so far is that ego has been absent. That is the way to success, and it may take longer, but you will a better future.

[@Pauldjreadman]

Very creative and incredible series. I just watched it again and I will watch it again.

[@Cirris]

I swear, every so often when Chris is talking, I can see Ryotoro just grinning his ass off. You know he had some snarky comment he wanted to chime in with but was holding back.

So happy to be a participant of the party! I'm not very good for listening English, but actually I enjoyed. Thank you so much for fun time! このパーティーに参加することができとても嬉しく思います！ 私は英語のリスニングはそれほどできるわけではないのですが、それでも楽しめました。有難うございました！

[@Fluornatrium]

Ryotaro really is such a smooth talker! I also enjoyed Shiori as well. She's always so fun to watch!

[@usucktoo]

Chris's and Natsuki's friendship shines through here. Friendship goals.

[@jhenlim]

I like how Ryotaro pushed Natsuki when they were coming out. Finally get to see them together. So cool!

[@Thebreakawayexplorer]

The contrast between Ryotoro and Natsuki is amazing. Ryotoro sipping on cold coffee like a responsible older child and Natsuki sitting in the corner being goofy drinking Beer like the youngest sibling! Love it!

[@amyabay4826]

chris is so down to earth and humble.. other youtubers would do collab to outshine others, compete for that 15 minutes of fame, but chris ia different he allows others to have their moment to shine.

[@ninninin656]

So Chris genuinely doesn't realise how handsome he is? Obviously that makes him even more attractive! It's so weird, I personally think he works so well on camera because he has so much charisma and "stage presence", funny that he thinks he looks terrible/hates seeing himself.

[@TheTaylorham95]

I find him so attractive, his charisma and his appearance, they just come together perfectly. He really is handsome. And even more so when he wears his glasses! Just such a great guy.

[@davidbullard3036]

Natsuki is literally my spirit Justice Delicious.

[@TheAlmightyFather]

I just had the time to finish the video from start to finish. Then I realized, this is the first time Natsuki and Ryotaro are together. I wonder when will Chris make a video with these two? Big potential right there.

[@Pauldjreadman]

Natsuki, has a business he runs and isn't available all the time unless he does it as a holiday which he did for the third series.

[@TwRex0410]

It doesn't really seem like they're friends. I mean, not that they dislike each other but their personalities and energy are so different. Plus, friend of my friend that I never talk to thing.

[@mikkibihon9816]

[@imolaunger]

2:30 Chris enters with his unruly kids

[@Heylow1]

Matt from JaYoe Nation is the guy Chris watched and randomly keeps mentioning in videos and podcasts with no name, who did a KZbin Journey Around Japan. He's doing a ~10 year world tour, of triking/cycling around various countries, and is now on his 4th country (China). He even made a special video on KZbin just for Abroad in Japan with advice. His Japan tour was really fun too and he interacts with so many cool and kind people as well, which just make the videos even more enjoyable. I'd recommend checking out his journey as well

[@RyzawaCh]

I think Chris lost a lot of fat weight but put in some dense muscle weight in return, so that's why he looks thinner. It's easier to hide muscle. So no matter what, he definitely got more fit.

[@NiGHTSaturn]

The Journey Across Japan series has an unbelievable rewatchable quality and will stay fresh for years. It was worth it.

[@firebreathingmoonbeam3961]

I loved Journey Across Japan. I'm genuinely surprised that anyone would unsubscribe. Especially, when the whole point of his channel is to learn about and see Japan. I loved seeing all the other KZbinrs also. Thank you Tokyo Creative! I wish I could go to one of your events.

[@lrdstrahd1]

I have watched every single video. I just wanted to express my appreciation to Chris and the entire team. These videos have been informative as well as very entertaining. I would like to also thank Tokyo creative for being such a huge part of this. Creators like Chris always need help from such companies to make these thing possible. As someone whom will be visiting Japan as a tourist, it has very much informed me to where I will choose to spend my limited time and what I would like to experience while there.

[@nicsosa369]

chris would probably hate me for suggesting this, but i think he has a real good thing with biking across japan series. maybe he should try to do it as a regular series. maybe a couple of months out of each year, biking through a different part of japan. an added benefit might be that it could help him with his losing weight/fitness goals.

[@Heylow1]

He should definitely try to keep up an active lifestyle doing something enjoyable. BTW, if you're interested in these sort of videos you should check out the JaYoe Nation channel, who is doing a World Triking/Cycling tour and has already completed 3 countries, incl Japan

[@jonsnor4313]

He wouldnt even have to do it that big but by smaller equally physical challenges where we can see him suffer a bit. I agree he should keep some regular physical rutine in the show, its a good motivator and good motivators are hard to come by. He looks good as swash buckling pirate might as well keep it..

In fact, that aspiration is right at the top of my bucket list.

[@NimrodClover]

For the longest time I wondered why the Journey Across Japan video series seemed to "disappear" sometime around Osaka. I had been watching fervently up till then. A whole year latter and now with Chris making videos about it I sort of understand how the last two weeks of the trip sort of sputtered. Unfortunately that was the portion of the trip I was most looking forward to. Somehow I just happened upon this after-party video today and this was over a year later. It does fill in more of the mysteries of that trip.
