Family Mart Chicken Added to Japanese School Lunches | @AbroadinJapan

[@ReclusiveFox]

Pete isn’t in anywhere near enough Abroad in Japan videos. Chris always says the Journey Across Japan videos Pete’s in have low views. I say screw views, they are definitely some of my favourite vids on the entire channel. We need more Pete ❤ Absolute gold.

[@189x]

Pete doesn't live in Japan, what do you expect him to do lmao

[@ReclusiveFox]

@ I’m well aware, just be nice when they are together if more videos were released. The podcast will have to do :)

[@sneeeeeeeeeeeeee]

I need more Pete vlogs absolutely incredible

[@carlsneyd1315]

Pete's holiday video was really great, a nice brake in the podcast, I hope next time Pete is in Japan we get a part 2, also looking forward to Chris's day trip video.

[@LtColShingSides]

The "Kyoto whoppa" joke got me pretty good lol

[@Necroskull388]

Was hoping for more Nikko content since Chris said he was cutting his Nikko footage from his upcoming video. Went there last May and would have loved to be transported back there via video. Still, fun little travelogue.

[@o1ecypher]

main channel sub, I didn't know about this side channel, so much old content that is now new content for me to see. I love it 👍

[@BleachDemon707]

Good for you. 🙄

[@whiskbiscuit7199]

And the fact that there are 2 a week means a huge backlog of fascinating Japan news! Bleachdickhead is just mad they can't hear it all again for the first time

Don’t forget many were before KZbin on podcast app

Last week I found out about Pete adopting a child and now he drops his Japan vlog. Good man!

[@rorolonglegs4594]

can we PLEASEEEEE get a pete cut of the 21 days in japan?

i had no idea that Pete exists outside of his studio.... this is a crazy start to the year

[@fat1fared]

That story about the cemetery was amazing.

[@TheDijynn]

LOL about the Kool-aid: As an American person, you are to add your own sugar to it to sweeten it. It's not like Tang which has sweetener included. In america the packets of kool-aid you could get 10 for a dollar (in 1990's money) and could mix different flavors together as you like. Red was always the favorite flavor (I said Red, not strawberry or raspberry, Red)

[@gagamba9198]

Purple is a good flavour as well.

[@TreeChap]

Pete, I had laser therapy on both of my shoulders after dealing with debilitating "distal clavical osteolysis" (or just an overuse injury to keep it simple) for a year. It had gotten to the point where I couldn't lift my shoulders over my head or sleep properly in any position. After two sessions, my shoulders were practically healed. It was like "a magic", I was stunned. All that discomfort.. gone in two sessions! Check it out and see if there are any clinics in the UK that offer laser therapy!

[@aoitamashii]

I got a repetitive stress injury on mine as well from lifting bags at max extension too many times over the years. Did PT and it's 80% better, but I can still feel it bother me a little bit. I wonder if that would help me as well.

[@balance00wow]

Depending on the type/reason for the joint pain it's probably best to do low impact/pressure (body weight) excercises to create muscle mass that can help support the joints. If that still results in pain consider excercise that supports your body via water. Swimming or water aerobics can fill those roles.

[@deoxxys]

I was wondering this myself. I used to love to work out but I've hardly been able to because of joint pain. I find that I can't go past right angles.

[@xt6wagon]

Can say "doing it wrong" pulling weeds with my back really helped my back pain. So light wieght high rep done oddly seems key. You don't need to lift a tank, you need the supporting muscles a wieght machine doesn't give you.

[@dylan4125]

Love your vacation clip video Pete.

[@kyumei_]

pete's vlog fits very well with the podcast

[@TwodeeTwodimensional]

The vlog was beautiful, Pete! Great job

[@Dan_Letters]

Pete's vlog was a mile a minute, which ironically would be perfect as a Tiktok or KZbin short 😂 Was great though loved it

just wear a reversed baseball cap and carry a skateboard on your back and no one will ask any question. That you also can get your free chicken and also play with glue.

Pete, loved your vlog. You bring your own twist and style to it, and I'd like to see more of them.

Was in Japan in November. You were right Chris, the Family Mart chicken was the winner in the JDM convenience store wars.

Pete is such an entertaining meme HAHAH fantastic video!

[@OrenjiRae]

Hi Chris and Pete, I've been listening to the podcast for almost five years now, I've never commented or sent an email before, however after seeing Pete's video today, I just had to say, I could watch an entire Netflix series of that. Keep up the incredible work!

[@jakeinthetube]

I loved that pete video

[@kumori_ari2677]

Nice work Pete 👍

[@walksinthedarkness]

Pete's bombastic vlog was an absolute delight. Pete is right! Marc shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Toudoukan for the sake of his bank account!

That vlog bit was wonderful, actually. Pete could be a proper travel vlogger if he wanted.

I loved Pete's Vlog, that should be its own video.

[@raydunn8262]

Thank you. 1. Jade is the gift for the 35th anniversary. It is very appropriate for turning 35 in Japan. 2. Here in the USA, we would call the extra footage featuring Pete, outakes, or, better yet, gag-reels. Does AIJ have any outakes or gag-reels? 3. I must not be alone thinking that all AIJ content are gag-reels. Other YT creators would label all as outakes. 😂

[@b3rgsy]

Amazing how cooler Chris looks in other people's videos 😂 great vlog pete and as always chris, great podcast and main channel. I'll buy you some drinks next year if youre in lost when i visit.

that VLOG was amazing

[@azsaddledoc]

Great Video Pete!

[@newsstandcomics]

Pete, re: Kool aid, we used to sell those little sachets of it, turns out you use one of those to make up almost 2 litres with a ton of sugar added. I recommend adding it to a bottle of Sprite or something that is already sweetened, but SLOWLY; it's quite volatile so it foams up quickly and stains incredibly easily.

[@Spike_Spiegal]

Perfect timing! Just got back from school.

[@uuu12343]

Lucky shits, imagine going to school everyday knowing you can look forward to the day's fabulous, amazing, fantastic Famichiki...

One more reason to move to Japan 😍😍😍😍

[@claredonachie5013]

When I hurt my rotator cuff the physio said to have my arm bent at the elbow and straight in front me , but standing alongside a wall. And then turn arm outwards but pressing against wall so it didn’t actually move. Do that 10 x for 10 secs each day. My shoulder hit better!

[@icychill105]

Pete, your vlog was awesome! Absolutely no reason for you to feel embarrassed by it. It's too bad about the Chris and Pete section being cut out of a video. Might I suggest putting those scenes of you two, on the Chris Abroad channel? Its been forever since there was an upload, and everyone would love to see what you guys shot together.

[@Djembe88]

Pete start doing Qi Gong (chi gong) exercises. They are similar to tai chi movements but much easier. Tai chi is officially a martial art whereas qi gong exercises are designed for rehab and injury recovery and health. You will feel much better.

Just got back from Japan last weekend. A great episode would be going to the Sakai Denshokan in Osaka and then the knife makers’ shops in they feature. All local craftsmen. The knife shop is one of the best I’ve seen, and was dead. The museum’s upstairs are interesting. The craft shop was nice, if you are into that kind of stuff.

Yo, having a lost family member buried in a foreign country and actually finding the grave, that really is an Indiana Jones type of adventure. My first impression of japanese graveyards was, when I walked the benten-trail in Kamakura and smelling the place first, Due to the amount of incense sticks burning.

[@LtColShingSides]

Had to cut Pete, Sexy Ned Flanders was just too spicy for youtube!

[@SirNecro]

Speaking of graveyards, I live in Australia and the grave yards (100year old ones) and they're all built on the most scenic, picturesque spots. Like they're dead they don't need the sweeping ocean views and picturesque mountain scapes!?!?!

[@binchyaube7885]

Chris, you mentioned your goals for 2025 and you said something like that you intend to tackle your fears. Unfortunately, you did not deepen this subject. I am quite curious to know more about it, maybe you could make a video about your fears, goals etc. I think this would interest quite a lot of people. Thanks

Aoyama cemetery is pretty awe-inspiring in both the sheer size of the entire place and the interesting graves themselves, I recommend stopping by for anyone that is interested.

[@XSpImmaLion]

31:35 Edo Mura! Been there ages ago, first trip to Japan. It's pretty neat! xD Let me put it this way... it has a bit of an amusement park vibe, and it's definitely tourist-y, so don't expect a faithful historical reproduction yadda yadda. I think a good portion of it is kinda targeted for kids. But I still remember lots of things from it, over 10 years after the trip so... it's at the very least memorable. Probably changed quite a lot from the time I went though. I've been hearing about it over the years, lots of stuff I don't remember being there, particularly on activities and whatnot. I think last time I saw something about it was from John Daub. In fact... it's called Edo Wonderland now, isn't it?
