Abroad in Japan's Journey Across Japan [Leg 1 - Behind the Scenes]

[@bellekaizoku6795]

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

[@KittenM]

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

[@oO_Godspeed_Oo]

Vern Milliken u stole my profile picture

[@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.

[@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!

[@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. -_-

[@Tzphardi]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@purdiusprime9792]

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

[@javidgt8]

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

[@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 :)

[@Unboundmakesvideos]

I love Natsuki so much

[@JVargoMusic]

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

[@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!

[@ringo9237]

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

[@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!

[@ethanpet113]

6:22 That strategic Emma drop.

[@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 !

[@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

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

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!"

[@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

[@Ritsukaberry]

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

[@arpantrivedi8208]

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

[@FeistyFox82]

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

[@josakura]

Thank you Chris and Chris!! xD always interesting!!! Can’t wait for the merch

[@ChrissiTee]

Love this!! Behind the scenes stuff is always awesome

[@theginjaninja5280]

This is cool seeing behind the scenes

[@RJ-cq8dd]

Haha love the use of the metal gear sound effect

[@Juandos3]

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

[@Ehvelin]

I LOVE watching behind the scenes! This brilliant, please keep it up! :)

[@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.

[@princelorian]

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

[@kartinacapital]

I love these behind the scenes type videos.

[@nawab256]

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

[@runwayincursion3376]

“What is he doing?” lol 🤣

[@Neia_eleni]

Y’all are doing really great work! Stay warm/ safe 🤗

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

This was good to see!

I just wanna enjoy the video and you show up Shiori to break my heart! MY CRUSH!!! 😍

Hope you upload more of these

yes!!! we need more of these, please! :)

[@Jazking95Plays]

I love this, this is fun

[@anvi7572]

Seems like such a fun project/job.

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

Very good, very good yaaaay!

[@erialcko]

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

[@harima6678]

thanks guys!

[@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.

[@kamalashila3549]

Yay we need the BTS videos to fill in the days when Chris Abroad haven't upload yet! #obsessed

[@Gaklord]

I see you guys using Rich Brian's History as the transition song. Nice lol

[@bridgetteb4112]

More please!

[@magicmyth2635]

until today i never new natsuki worked in a beauty salon and i love it

[@fidrack]

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

[@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

[@bmack4047]

@okanochris what yukata are you wearing. I really like the design.

[@lukasmihara]

1200+ thumbs up, 0 thumbs down. That's how it's supposed to be! Thanks for the amazing content :)

[@Ikbob11]

More cycling videos!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@omarmiralles1043]

That thumbnail though XD

[@h2shin]

Natsuki looks exactly like and has the same personality as my uncle and I love it!

[@327legoman]

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

[@pichaliiiin]

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

[@jenghisgonzalez7918]

also 6:36 "he loves feet? you be the judge!" - editor

[@stra2g]

This channel needs way more subs T_T So many of the top English speaking creators in Japan join in on this yet the subscriber count is so low

[@levoGAMES]

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

[@davidlee7174]

more behind the scene please. :)

This needs to be watched with liquor.

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.

love it all … more, more, more please! ….. maybe less natto though lol

[@bobcee8126]

WE GOT HISTORY! Also, can I ask Ian what language/framwork/library he's using? Fellow web developer here!

[@Max-nf1vw]

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

[@moskitostich]

I love Natto! But you really have to try it at least three times

[@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.

[@venjaminffxi]

did you notice that when chris was takling about how good natto is , he didnt even taste it?

[@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??

[@Banana-cc5rx]

wonder if Ryotaro will be joining in the cycle

[@princessjello]

Right out the gate he roasts chris lmao

[@RGAPRESTIGE]

Dropping that 88rising fam.. I see you ;)

[@agito383]

Natto is goood. It goes well with okura too

[@trevorrandom]

Cool 😎

[@billcook4768]

He's not the fastest cyclist because you guys have him on the worst possible bicycle for this sort of trip. An hour in a bike shop to get slicks and a few other adjustments will pay huge dividends. Also, all I know about natto is that Rachel (of and Jun) did a video on Japanese etiquette saying you should try really hard to eat anything a Japanese host serves, unless it is natto which is so gross you are forgiven. But in any case, thank you, thank you, thank you for this series. It's awesome.

[@mikkibihon9816]

You did not mention what happened to the broken glass of the first car

[@KanaievenTokyo]

Stay tuned innit
