This is so true. I like building model kits and now that I'm older and have some cash lying around I bought $1,000 worth of tools (airbrush, compressor, dehumidifier, craft tools) to build and paint $20-$50 gunpla.

[@izukumidoriya8379]

Chris is properly proud of his studio and god damn he should be. I haven't seen a studio like this in my life and I like how Joey presented it, raw and as a geek for craftsmanship I appreciated this more than any other studio reveal

[@adamstanisaw2892]

its pretty awesome i have to say. Definitely accurate to be proud of.

[@yurikuki]

Chris'ramen shop looks so dope. Reminds me of all those 80's Anime set in the future. It'd be awesome to see Chris actually film movie scenes in that ramen shop considering it's of movie quality production design wise

[@AshiTar]

I like how whenever chris is with joey he is so nice with him but when he is with conner the brit energy just amplified

[@nem3732]

Chris should put ambient noise in the set to make it feel more real. Like putting traffic noises or like sounds from a tv. As of now it's actually kind of jarring to be in a japanese looking street and have it be completely silent.

[@weirdmeisterinc]

he did..in another video was traffic noise

[@ZeraKonno]

That’s technically what the editing is for XD

[@humanbean3]

stabbing noises, car windows being broken, oh wait this is japan not detroit.. random sumimasens, some itterasshaimase's

[@Nagranddan]

Makes more sense to add that in editing, otherwise you have to risk drowning out any guest audio or distract them.

[@sigsin1]

Just pretend he has excellent soundproofing. In Japan. 😜

[@finalbreath15]

Chris please have Dr. Jelly ads programmed on the window TVs! That'd be a nice touch. Also it's a shame Natsuki couldn't find real estate available in that alley for his hair salon!

It's honestly SO wholesome how proud Chris is of his new set :) Beyond happy for him, he deserves it and so much more. The amount of entertainment he has given me is incomprehensible. I've literally watched every single one of his videos at least twice. I've seen every episode of Journey Across Japan probably 4 or 5 times each. It's a breath of fresh air, EASILY the best content on this entire website. Keep it up! You too, Joey. lol.

Chris’ set looks so fucking sick but I’m just fixated with the fucking sticker with a picture of Leatherface that says “Bat Cave” I can’t explain why it’s so funny to me (Also extra laugh for putting a character that didn’t exist until the 70s into a 60s style set)

[@ThomasWinget]

"(Also extra laugh for putting a character that didn’t exist until the 70s into a 60s style set)" Did you miss the famicom and gameboy? >_> (I'm sure I've also missed other anachronisms, but god *damn* that set looks dope regardless!)

[@kaldo_kaldo]

The thing is, it's meant to feel lived in. It's not that the set is the 60s, but that section is supposed to resemble something made in the 60s. It would still be that way in the 70s most likely. There are posters from 2000s in the alley area.

[@sigsin1]

It doesn’t matter. It LOOKS 60s.

[@notmuch_23]

Now we need Ryotaro's reaction. Also, X-Shot Vigilante! Now Chris needs a Reflex 6 and possibly some K25 to mod it with!

[@armorbearer9702]

(7:40) It is so cool that the objects in Chris' studio actually work. It is like a point & click game. You never know what happens until you touch it.

[@sebastianpolcyn6358]

So now we're basically just waiting for Joey's Dr. Jelly themed studio.

This was the clearest view I’ve seen so far of Chris’s Studio. Thanks for sharing this, the space makes more sense to me now. I think that although still awesome, previous views have been too dark - but that’s just me really wanting to see all of those little details more clearly, and understand the layout. Thanks again for sharing your visit, much appreciated 🙂🐿. I’m surprised that Chris didn’t call you “buddy mate” at least once here, especially when reminiscing about previous trips.
