Day in My Life: Living in Tokyo

[@AbroadinJapan]

From Sharla and Jurgen Lingonberry, to baseball kid and Shinjuku bad boys, you never know WHO you might run into in Tokyo.

@@LiIBeary back in the old days, when he was still relatively new in Japan by current standards, he once did a TV interview. I don't want to spoil what happens exactly but it was sort of an all-time iconic channel moment. The video where he talks about it should be an older Q&A but if you search up "abroad in japan tv interview" it's probably also the first thing to come up.

Hey Chris! I’m a surf coach from the uk and have been watching your videos for years and it really made my day to see you trying surfing. It’s impact is so positive for your mental and physical health. Nothing better than being in the water!

[@AbroadinJapan]

It’s a lot of fun even if I suck haha. Really struggle to leap up onto the board.

[@chillnspace777]

There's surfing in the uk?

[@guestguest9051]

Jurgen's so good. He learns to speak english fluently after only a single minute in the video

[@Narnendil]

As a Swede I was thinking "how did he manage to find a Swede living abroad and of an age where you can surf that can't speak English well??" (I feel like only very old and very young Swedes speak English so badly it's hard to communicate with them). And then he showed Felix, I was so fooled haha (Also, Jürgen is more like a German name, no ü in Swedish, but maybe that was part of the joke. Otheriwse, it should've been more like Jörgen.)

I thought the same, but then I might have found chris because of pewdiepies video with joey ages ago.

[@Nurichiri]

I was even thinking earlier in the video, when he was talking about living in Tokyo, wouldn't it be funny if he knew Pewdiepie. Then I was "nah, Tokyo is the most populated city on the planet. It's not very likely."

[@wheelsofmisfortune3162]

Lol. I've never watched a PewDiePie video, didn't even know who he was until I read your comment and realised that was him surfing. 😂

[@ChrissyFreitas]

I have been a video editor for TV news for about 9 years now. I am used to seeing my project timeline filled with anxiety and regret along multiple clips and effects that take a decade to render. I am always just impressed with others do with their timelines in Avid, Final Cut, Davinci Resolve, or any other NLE. I have been watching and enjoying your videos for the past month in preparation for a trip to Japan with friends in July. Not only have your videos been informative, I also enjoy the content and how your shots are presented. Thank you for presenting your viewers with a brief looking to your daily life in Tokyo!

i know chris and felix have been hanging out a lot in japan and whenever he appears on chris' videos and chris appears on pewd's vlogs it always gives me the same exitement as seeing a stan lee cameo years back

[@Goleon]

This is me with Felix and Joey popping up in each other’s videos.

[@Felice_Enellen]

It's just nice to see people you like hanging out with other people you like because you know they're probably having a good time and you can get a little vicarious joy out of it. 😊 I kinda got fed up with Felix years ago, but it's like he really became someone different when he moved to Japan and just started casually vlogging. I'm really glad to see it. It's almost like having the original Felix back, from when I subbed at like 30k, but older and wiser. I don't think living in California was good for him, there's a lot of toxic juju in the social/celeb scene down there and I think it's taken two country moves since then to shake it off.

[@namelessking111]

Really loving the cameo and stuff but i hope someday we get to see a real official collab video with these two. That would just be amazing.

[@Felice_Enellen]

@@namelessking111 ...???... why do you think this _wasn't_ an official collab?

[@namelessking111]

@@Felice_Enellen It's a day in the life video of Chris, that's why people call it a cameo of pewdiepie not a "collab". An actual collab is two content creators getting together specifically to film a video that will feature them doing a specific activity, clearly going surfing is a daily bonding activity of Chris and Felix that just so happens to be featured here and not a collab video. Can't believe i have to spell all that out for you. 🤦🤦

[@mingyuhuang8944]

​@@Jordan-inJapan Modern Japan is a sad, depraved, depressed, hypocritical, and constantly self-conflicting cesspool with little to no resemblance of humanity left. It is a country which focuses on the microscopical details and rules instead of tackling the grand, overarching core issues which have been rotting away for decades. It's people lack any semblance of humanity, energy and warmth. They are apathetic to each other as they drown in their own misery. Things like this should not be happening in a civilized country and nation. How can Japan be such an unstable, crazy, violent and utterly animalistic country? This criminal should be executed to set an example and warn those who try to perform such disgusting acts. When will Japan recover from this malaise, it is Asia's sick man now. How disgraceful and pathetic. Where are the politicians and leaders who set out to change and improve modern Japanese society so people are happier and mentally healthy??? This has been going on for too long, something must be done! The blind cannot lead the blind. Japan needs another Fukuzawa Yukichi or another great figure to lead the nation to a better place.😢😢😢

@@kraenk12 ? That kind of speaks to the opposite. Most people when they start making money hire an editor after doing themselves out of necessity for so long.

If you’ve ever edited any video you know how much work goes into it, now consider it with a high quality narrated video like these. If you never have, it’s so sooo much more work than you would think. With the amount of videos he puts out, narrates, edits, films he must work like 60 hour weeks at least.

[@kazukishinomiya9424]

It's mind-blowing and heartwarming to see two of my favorite creators finding love together:)) Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and more incredible adventures! Keep up the fantastic work! 🙌🎉🇯🇵

[@AbroadinJapan]

A huge thanks for the kind words and for sticking around all these years! 🙏 It's certainly funny how things turn out - I've been pretty damn lucky, haha.

[@loopyfrog]

I love how Sharla actually has to cut the chicken open to check that it's cooked before she eats it LOL

[@LuskyMJ]

You're supposed to do that every time you eat chicken. I always do it.

[@loopyfrog]

@@LuskyMJ oh yea totally- I was just messin

[@jhawkins8264]

It seemed recently-engaged Sharla was putting out various subtle little (smiley) put-downs of how Chris does some things for her (but not vice versa) i.e. the colourful salad Chris lovingly made for her return seemed to get some sniffy little comments .. .come on Sharla, don't play Princess. Chris has even converted to a cat person for your feline! Chris is a great guy and I also admire the artistry of his excellent videos. Thank you Chris from a fellow Brit.

[@texasburbs4380]

Chris turning into a cat dad, is one of the best things in 2023!

[@jhammylive]

Your content somehow gets better and better yet more transparent the longer you do this, and it feels increasingly genuine with every upload. Keep it up Chris, you’re doing amazing!

[@blablascuss3657]

I genuinely think this is my favourite abroad in Japan video I cant really say why something about the vibe while still holding amazing production quality. Note: I've watched every video.

[@Christian-xf5ke]

I loved this chill vlog-style video. Whether your traveling across Japan or taking it easy in Tokyo your filmmaking makes every video so enjoyable to watch. I’d love to see a night out in Tokyo with Sharla, Pete, Natsuki, Ryotaro, or the Trash Taste boys. I really liked that night life video you made in Sendai with Ryotaro.

[@sebastianbryndorf1771]

Chris you should TOTALLY do more of these down to earth videoes! This was such a good watch

[@ChantalRussell]

In case we were wondering, yes- Chris does sleep, shower, and eat breakfast with a camera strapped to his forehead.

[@sdal_yt]

I mean who doesn't?

[@SteveStevenson-k7o]

Man is living the dream. Casually chilling with a cute cat, walking around, doing some work and going for a surf and just generally vibing. Good on you, Chris!

[@powerheather]

I listen to the podcast weekly but haven't commented on a video in awhile. This is a real one, appreciate the genuine nature of it. Thanks.

[@sasquatchii6621]

omg Chris and Sharla are super adorable together, pls more Sharla in future videos 🤞❤

[@BusterWyzenbeek]

I've been watching Abroad in Japan for the best part of six years now and I reckon this might be one of if not the best videos you've done. It's of course always about the amazing places that you are going to and the activities you are doing that inspire the imagination of those who love Japan but have either never been or don't live there and thus rarely have the privilege to witness. BUT this video is special because it is purely just about you and getting to know more about the person that has been on our screen all this time. so authentic and personal. Loved it

[@sloesty]

I fell in love with tokyo through walking around aimlessly and stumbling through residential areas. And as Chris says, the city is a hectic, crowded mess, if you go to where the crowds are. But once you leave the chaos behind and trudge through the residential areas, there's an incredible sense of stillness that I haven't seen in any other cities that are close to the size of Tokyo.

[@Ainar86]

Osaka has that even around the city center during business hours (it actually gets more crowded in the evening). In Tokyo you have to go either really far from downtown or deep into the back alleys to find respite from the throngs.

[@Luckdragon12]

I'm sure it wasn't easy to shoot, but the surfing part was really cool! Who knew you could do that in Tokyo? Always assumed it was all boat traffic, no beaches. Also, that dinner was fine for a quick homemade dish! Glad to see the cats here too. My 2 cats are the same: love playtime, and howling for attention when you're out of sight!

[@OceanBeachBoy]

The surfing community is present in Tokyo but it’s actually about an hour train ride to enoshima from Tokyo, and I can’t think of any beaches closer that you could surf on.

[@Sweetsiex]

Wow, I've never seen anyone film a DITL vlog as if it was actually a cinematic documentary, not to mention all the muted color-grading going on in the Shinjuku area! Superb vlog, 10/10, would love to see more DITL vlogs in the future!

[@CreepyBlackDude]

Man, you did Shinjuku justice with those shots and that music! The city looked like something out of an 80's City Pop music video. I tend to romanticize that vision of Japanese cities, mainly because I associate it with old anime I grew up watching late at night so it's really nostalgic, and you nailed the look. Incredible job!

[@professorescanor7310]

It's heartwarming seeing how much you've embraced the city. So glad you made a nice surfing buddy. Keep being awesome Chris.

[@Tempeste]

Hey! I just wanted to say that I'm super inspired by your videos! You're truly one of the best creators on here! Have a good one!

[@jase276]

Hearing Chris go on about his cat and miraculous allergic recovery reminds me of when I heard rumors of that parasite cats give off that can make humans love them

[@michellethong8476]

Love seeing what's changed and what's stayed the same since your last "Day in the Life" video. The personal and professional growth - it's staggering and it's so cool we're on this journey with you!

[@GabbaaGhoul]

oh my goodness Chris when at 22:10 you were casually like “ let’s see if we can do shinjuku justice and take a tour” i was BLOWN AWAY by the combination of the music and the visuals. stunned. Justice indeed 🙌🙌

[@maxhirsch7035]

In addition to the human interest angle and high production values of his videos, Chris definitely (as we all know) has great comic chops, and the opening shows off his decent comic acting abilities - it hooks you and gets a laugh (particularly if you've ever lived with a cat).

[@AgentHeroic]

Comparing the editing skills of this video to your original Day in the Life video is incredible. You've gone a long way from where you started - keep it up, Chris!

[@headspaceastronaut]

Even in Tokyo, Chris can't escape the "Are you youtuber?" curse 🤣

[@Zeemis]

I really miss these kind of homey videos! I love your current ones, but they're always so action packed and full of energy, which is nice, but it's also great to have some downtime vids like you doing casual stuff. Loved this Chris!

[@MichaelsPwner]

Your videography has gotten really good ever the years. It’s quite impressive. Also, I’m not at all surprised that you and Sharla are together. I remember seeing the two of you together a long time ago and I could tell how much of a connection you two had. I’m happy for you. Keep up the amazing videos.

[@SmallBrainedAmerican]

this was my favorite video of yours, Chris. very vulnerable and honest, almost like a behind the scenes look at your life. as a long time viewer I really appreciate content like this!

[@Mentaljedi]

Glad to see that Chris has really put the work in improving his health. Really enjoyed the tour and the Felix cameo! I feel like it would be cool to see some more stuff about Osaka

Probably the best KZbin video I’ve watched in a while, the vibes were just so authentic and real.

[@justinhueser707]

I remember the journey you took from a humble apartment building, with the crazy OCD door slamming neighbor, to getting your cyberpunk themed studio, to now this. The quality of your life has improved drastically over this journey with you, and it reflects in not only your demeanor on newer videos you have posted, but in your surroundings as well. Cheers Chris!

[@alexgriffioen]

Ha! Me and my friend ran into you in Omoide Yokocho and thanked you for this channel. You have no idea how much joy and information your channel has provided me in the 3 years leading up to this postponed trip. Truly, thank you!

[@deaconpeck881]

Ah Chris mate, do I agree with you there. An escape to nature, for a hike, a boat or canoe ride, a bonfire amongst the woods, etcetera, it always eases my soul and being. I just got done being on vacation, camping and doing most of exactly that a few days ago. Wishing Father Time could let me redo that from last Wednesday. 😩

[@loodgack]

Other people with these videos: happy, cozy optimistic Chris: the genre is horror But I really loved the street shots and the colors in the end!

[@GabbaaGhoul]

lolol

[@kazeneko1350]

Chris your videos keep evolving and always getting better. Every time I think that your production and cinematography are at its peak, you always find a way to go above and beyond from your previous videos. I really loved the nightlife part in this video especially the Bladerunner aesthetic that it had. I look forward to more amazing videos from you and enjoy your day

[@The_Castor]

The sound production of your videos is definitely a top reason why I like your content. Like you said it is often overlooked. But I think you excel at the sound design for your content. Here is too many more!

[@animeloverXinuyasha]

Loved the nighttime footage of Shinjuku! Also where I spent my first night in Japan and holds a special place in my heart. That shot at 22:10 is my favourite.

[@alexhamilton7090]

I first heard about the JET Programme on this channel about 2 years ago, and now I'm getting ready to go to Japan as an ALT in August. I'd always vaguely wanted to go to Japan but your videos made me realise it's something I definitely needed to do. Thanks Chris :)

[@Smile-iz2lu]

I have to say 26 year-old man, you always reawaken my dream to go to Japan. Most of the times I say to myself that my dream is unattainable, but you just remind me not to give up and push forward. Stay in good health and keep making amazing, amazing videos.

[@miunya]

He has the money to enjoy it now. So that helps sell the dream

Hold up man your only 26😅 you got plenty of time to get your shit straight and take that trip😤 buck up champ💪🏿

fun fact about transparent toilets: They are opaque when built, an electrical current goes through the glass to make it transparent. So that's why they stay opaque when not working !
