Aww bless Chris at the end standing there filming on his own like a nutter, it's like seeing an animal in the wild hahaha

[@Ehvelin]

I laughed so hard at this 😂

[@PedricCuf]

Hahaha, you are absolutely correct! It's just missing David Attenborough to narrate it.

[@BoringTrader]

Real Chris broad in the wild lol.

[@LePetitNuageGris]

I love behind the scenes Chris (Broad). He seems so chill and naturally fun to be around. He always says he’s no fun in real life, but I bet if you could get around the awkwardness of being strangers to each other, that wouldn’t be true at all.

[@AbroadinJapan]

I'm a lot more laid back when I'm not making one of my own videos!

[@LePetitNuageGris]

Abroad in Japan I noticed. 😊 By the way, did you seriously text Ryotaro that I don’t find him handsome? Lol

[@BankruptGreek]

@@AbroadinJapan I like some of these shots I think they dd add a lot more flare to your actual videos.

[@Ikbob11]

Didn't he say that's how Japanese people are in general? Lol

[@Gokaes]

@@AbroadinJapan chris you certainly seem weirder than expected well that just shows you are a normal human being

[@pozzo6828]

A whole documentary of this trip would be epic. Lots of work though.

[@creapshow123]

Pozzo Lahiri I agree, lots of work but if they took it slowly, I think it’d be worth the effort

[@キラキラくりくり頭]

Wait... He COULD have worn the cherry. That sneaky bastard. On his video it just looked like it wasn't possible.

[@Tzphardi]

Better title. Abroad in Japan. Uncut and Uncensored! Now with 100% more natsuki!

[@KittenM]

That was very interesting. Behind the scenes are always fun to watch.

[@TheSourcerOfTime]

Vern Milliken u stole my profile picture

[@VioletRaven.]

I took two coding classes in college and I hated them both. It's super challenging. So mad respect to Ian for his coding work, you are appreciated!

[@bacon3703]

On behalf of my fellow The Abroad in Japan Podcast fans, I’d like to thank Chris for making time to continue his pizza addiction during the trip

[@ethan5719]

I'M STRAIGHT HERE AGAIN. I DROP EVERYTHING TO COME TO THESE VIDEOS!! ONE OF THE BEST PART OF MY DAY!!! (is that sad?)

It's a shame we can't all hold hands together while watching them. -_-

[@Kabra2012]

Gawd, it's so heartwarming seeing how Chris brightens up with Natsuki around.

[@saiyorihime]

Honestly, I love this journey. Love Chris B, love Chris O. This whole thing is fun and I'm excited to see more videos all around. Have fun and be safe guys!

[@Unboundmakesvideos]

I love Natsuki so much

[@purdiusprime9792]

I'm a simple man. I see a video with Chris, I hit the like button.

[@imolaunger]

I love the annotations / speech bubbles etc. but they disappear way too quickly. I keep having to pause / rewind

[@thehappymezzo3985]

Same! Is there some trick to catch them while on my phone? I can't pause fast enough!

[@Spect88]

If you're on desktop, you can use comma and dot keys to move back and forward frame by frame.

Read faster bitch

[@irish10210]

A lot of this should have been in the vlogs. They're too short and too the point. That being said, I love the content in this video!

[@JVargoMusic]

The editor comments are hilarious, highlight of the video. I see you, Mr. Editor... and I appreciate your work.

[@donnuelfernandez1988]

Has no one noticed that somethings off in the thumbnail.

[@michaeljaysonbanua4870]

I do... One of the head is inverted and two where a bit bigger.

[@Ikbob11]

Hahaha, nope

[@lacyalay]

I thought I was tripping out for a second with the front 2 until I saw the upside down head haha

[@msshirley2860]

Let me just agree with Chris Okano on natto: when I was in Japan on a limited budget, it helped me a lot. It costs next to nothing and is healthy (at least that's what they say). I wouldn't say that I've become particularly fond of it, but I don't feel so disgusted anymore.

[@runwayincursion3376]

“What is he doing?” lol 🤣

[@jenghisgonzalez7918]

thanks so much for supporting Chris, I'm always looking forward to the journey across Japan vids! tuned in at IG too :) more power to both channels and every one in it!

[@javidgt8]

See this, this is the real content we need. Forget the professionalism, raw uncut Natsuki, Chris, and Chris? AMAZING

[@FeistyFox82]

3:14 Did Natsuki just try to do a bunny hop on a mountain bike haha!!

[@deletedwaffles]

It's like Chris was talking to an invisible person that fell over on their bike at the end there.

[@mimo5383]

Helps us appreciate what the support van's role is. Naturally far more than whether Chris is still alive from time to time! Loving the format :)

[@thoptercrew]

Loved watching Journey Across Japan, even if a few years late and loving the Behind the Scenes. Thanks for sharing this with us guys!

[@RJ-cq8dd]

Haha love the use of the metal gear sound effect

[@RepublicOfUs]

1:24 2018------"Natsuki listening to his own song, in his own car. A luxury few of us can have." Now-------"A-S-O! Too much volcano!"

[@fidrack]

"The Life of Cycling with Mr. Broad" sounds like a Haruki Murakami short story on Chris

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Happy for recommendations as I wasn't expecting a channel with behind the scenes stuff :)

[@belfonsecaa1801]

simply put: beautiful

[@ringo9237]

Thanks for helping out a fellow YT creator making this possible. You guys are great!

[@theginjaninja5280]

This is cool seeing behind the scenes

[@mcculloch29]

I did enjoy that! Thank you. How interesting to see that the backup team is just as obsessed with food as Chris B. (rightly) is. I predict that you will all gain the equivalent amount of weight that Chris loses.

[@15632ful]

It's nice seeing the informal side of the series. Not that it's very formal anyway. Thanks for the behind the scenes @tokyocreative !

[@rafaeldotjs3277]

At the time of this comment, more than 1000 likes to this video, 0 dislikes, something I have never seen before! Amazing job

I don’t even have notifications set on this, I just had an overwhelming urge to check the channel while my morning coffee was brewing

[@kartinacapital]

I love these behind the scenes type videos.

[@Ritsukaberry]

Make more of these, please? This was fun to watch.

This content is great. It's going to be so cool to look back on all of this.

Bless you Tokyo creative! You've done a great job in this series!

[@ChrissiTee]

Love this!! Behind the scenes stuff is always awesome

[@MonaLisaHasNoEyebrows]

I was gonna comment to say Chris's head looked too big in the thumbnail then noticed that Ian's was upside down and suspected there may be some trickery.

[@princelorian]

Woah nice! I had nothing to watch but now i do thanks. Great channel 😎

[@nawab256]

Yes thank you! I was always wondering what the rest of the crew we're up too

[@alanlee1355]

venjaminffxi exactly. I'm not fooling for it. No way will i eat that slop.

[@marcodesanti9304]

fooling for it??? is that a thing??? the phrase is 'falling for it', or is this a clever creation of yours??

I love that last scene, it's so awkward from a distance ^^

[@rivkastock2684]

Nice from Jerusalem. Broad is just excellent, as you know. Stick to him. Natzko is simply delightful as he has this kid within him make us all feel joy. Shabat Shalom 4 now.

[@327legoman]

I mean the regular episodes are good too but I actually prefer this and found it more entertaining. xD

[@harima6678]

thanks guys!

[@Mikaela_Westmt]

Happy to know you're a natto lover, Chris. I love to eat it with egg york, ネギ, and a tiny bit of honey. Stir the hell out, the more you do the better - doing so adds more "umami" to natto and makes it nutritionally richer. Believe me, it's true. (I'm Japanese.) A lotta times I see gaijin ppl trying natto, and they never stir enough, nor do they add the right ingredients.

[@Ikbob11]

More cycling videos!!!

[@GloriousAguacate]

this was great! :D

[@Max-nf1vw]

They used History by Rich Brian for the waiting music! OMG!!! 😆

[@vyen9343]

Cycle! Bicycle! Cycle, bicycle! Rascal! Bicycle! Rascal, bicycle! BWEEGGHH! Can't get that out of my head now lol

[@vp4744]

Good job guys. Any job is good when you have to put up with Chris Broad. He's a bigger diva than any broad I've seen.

[@creapshow123]

I hope that after the trip is over, there’ll be a video including a lot of the footage which didn’t make the cut for the videos and more behind the scenes, the vlogs are great but since they’re so short, I’m sure a lot of great footage gets wasted because there’s no time to fit it all in, it would be good to see more footage in the future

[@bridgetteb4112]

More please!

[@bucyrus5000]

This needs to be watched with liquor.

[@pichaliiiin]

"Yeah you like that" lol Also, the editor comments hahahaha

[@ThomasinaJefferson-ke7xs]

Chris’ arm in the thumbnail just sent me into a whole ass asthma attack

[@erialcko]

Thanks for the video!! Can you please post more behind the scenes?

[@travismoore7849]

Nice Hair Cut for Chris. I like it more than fermented soy beans.

[@TommyGunz]

Why does the guy in the thumbnail have an upside-down head?? The guy in the very back on the left side of the table.. like WTF?!?!? 😂😂

[@davidlee7174]

more behind the scene please. :)

[@nicoleh1680]

I really hope this is going to be a full series of videos. Also get some extra back up batteries/chargers for that man, so he isn't killing your car.
