That Hiking music made the reveal so nostalgic

[@annesanpedro4365]

That moment when I saw Andrew and Bryan, I was like, yeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy!!!! (at the top of my lungs 😁) Japan vlogs with the rest of the crew 😍❤

[@troblems]

Robby, you are the man and all but I got the biggest, goofiest smile when I saw Bryan and Andrew there too. That was a legit great surprise. It's awesome you guys were able to enjoy the trip together!

[@AdventureArchives]

+troblems haha indeed I was going for the big surprise

[@timayalin5846]

That was a huge surprise to see Andrew and Bryan! Awesome way to make the announcement. I am so glad I watched these Vlogs in order. I am super excited for the release!

[@AdventureArchives]

Indeed! I was hoping that would be a good surprise. Thanks for watching!

[@DeadPalette]

22:14 That musical cue really sells the sense of adventure every time, even in the middle of a crowded Japanese street.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Dead Palette haha thanks, it was one of the first songs we wrote so I'm glad it actually holds up

[@414Videos]

I am so happy the surprise was Andrew and Bryan! Safe travels.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you! :) Can't wait to share the episode with everyone!

[@rage8kage]

Dude wdf! This went from a cool eating out in japan video to suddently adventure archive is hiking and shooting in japan reveal! So fucking awesome! Keep up.the good work guys all the luck in the work to ya

[@LeaLikesIcecream]

I find it fascinating that of all these hundreds and hundreds of small food places, none of them is ever empty ahhhh your vlogs get me so excited for my trip to Japan that I've planned for spring 2019

[@atmmyers1]

It was one of those "feel-good moments" when you walked around the corner and there stood Brian & Andrew! Very cool surprise! In retrospect, I did think that you had kind of a large backpack for a simple visit to the city... Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Anthony Myers haha yeah I love those types of moments. It's so much fun when you can sneak up on someone before you meet them

[@leichaes]

OMG!!!! I actually squealed a bit when I saw Bryan and Andrew!!! Im so excited for the upcoming adventure videos!!! Thanks for making my day Adventure Archives!!! 😊😊😊

[@AdventureArchives]

+Jan D. Haha awesome, that was the reaction I was hoping to elicit

[@AudioVisualResources]

The AA music with the reveal was awesome. Very excited for this adventure! Have a great time, gents.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Jim Maltese haha indeed! The trip was great, vlogs coming soon

[@ravenrook8843]

You guys did it! And you were just talking about it in an earlier episode. Congrats guys! Can't wait to see more!

[@keatonfalk]

Ugh robby I started watching your volgs last year because of your japan vlogs and it honestly made my night when I found out you were back in japan!!!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Keaton falk woohoo! That's great

[@DerekLieu]

Hahaha, I love when the Adventure Archives theme kicks in like the Fellowship of the Ring theme, and the feeling is like "Awwww shiiiiit IT'S ON!"

[@AdventureArchives]

+Derek Lieu lol that theme song is surprisingly exciting to me every tkme

[@Leei]

Robby, you just teleported me to one of my favorite places in the world. Thank you!

[@wrightdu83]

Oh man, I can't wait for this release! :) Super interesting Vlog, and can't wait to see what's in store.

[@Jaspor123]

I had a feeling that was the surprise! Awesome guys, can't wait to see where you're headed. Enjoy!

[@adeelhussain2304]

Backpacking Japan! You guys are awesome.

[@anitapaulsen3282]

Dude, what an awesome surprise!!! I did not expect that! When I saw Bryan and Andrew and heard the Adventure Archives theme (which I just love, BTW) I just gasped, I got so excited!!! Backpacking in Japan, woohoo!!! Can't wait to see it! I just happened to see on KZbin yesterday Life Where I'm From X, he took different trains all day around Tokyo. Made me want to visit Japan, and your vlog today even more. I'm with Andrew on the food, a!ways want to try the different and unusual. Not sure I could handle the Natto though. My Danish friend who lives in San Francisco loves it!

[@AdventureArchives]

+anita paulsen haha definitely an acquired taste it seems

[@PradeepMenon666]

The reveal at the end made me so happy lol I've watched this episode so many times but it's exciting and fun each and every time. To me, the China and Japan trips were the best because of the change in scenery and all the interesting food these guys tried. Man I love AA a lot 😃😃

[@LucScheffers]

Nice!!, showing the city! And nice editing touch, the added channel theme music for meeting the rest of the crew! looking forward to the next episode. Have fun!

[@simokav6130]

[@vpr5562]

Man, you pulled out the best show for me tonight, cheers!

[@botanyboy1]

Robby, I first saw your blog last winter when I was in NY and you were here in Japan. Now once again I'm off to New York while your here - pretty funny. I didn't expect to see Andrew and Brian, nice surprise. A winter hike sounds chilly. Have fun hiking - in Yamanashi Prefecture?

[@botanyboy1]

Correction - your VLOG!

[@AdventureArchives]

+botanyboy1 jaha that is awesome. And yup, mt Kumamoto I believe. Also we just did a day hike at mt maruyama.

[@ChillerThanM0st]

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video :) -Robby

[@ChillerThanM0st]

Don't worry Robby! I was eating right alongside you guys. But man, Japanese cuisine looks so on point 👌

[@AdventureArchives]

I'm missing the food already! -Andrew

[@birdbrainZ]

Love exploring the 'Food Alley'. Thanks for sharing.

[@AdventureArchives]

+birdbrainZ yeah that alley was aweeeeesomd

[@ruthtuesday]

I swear I said "Oh heck ya!" when I saw Bryan and Andrew. Super stoked about the upcoming episode!

[@AdventureArchives]

+ruthtuesday awesome! The trip was great :)

[@SoupyOatmeal]

The vlog of the city and the people interacting basically shoulder to shoulder ........ AH life before Covid 19. Today May 2, 2021

[@coxa1638]

Awesome vlogs! I love Japan and love filming japan as well

[@halesonair]

I am so excited for this Adventure Archives episode now :) Have fun!

[@EphemeralRage]

Yes! I knew it! I'm so freaking excited! Ya'll have fun!

[@cnnbarker]

YESSS!!! Didn't see that one coming. Dang man how'd you keep the Japan trip a secret let alone the whole AA backpacking Japan adventure. Cool stuff and looking forward to the release.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Nick lol I just decided that would be way more entertaining than talking about it all the time

[@cnnbarker]

AdventureArchives Good point. I like it

[@jcdenton23]

I completely understand Robbie's appreciation of alleys

[@AdventureArchives]

+Anwor Ali they're so great man haha

[@imchristang]

WHaaaat. Super excited to see where this is gonna go!

[@TheHarrisonLam]

These are seriously awesome. You're doing an awesome job of making it feel like we are right next to you wandering around at night. Robby was definitely channeling his inner Jack Skellington asking "What's This??"

[@AdventureArchives]

+Harrison Lam thanks man! Glad you're enjoying them, more soon!

[@hsiang-hsintseng8455]

watched the whole thing, Loved every single seconds of it! excellent video

[@AdventureArchives]

+hsiang-hsin Tseng awesome thank you for watching!

[@ferdiemontenegro5436]

Oh I didn't expect Andrew and Brian to be on this episode 💗💗

[@rogerlamb536]

Great video, can't wait till the next!

[@TailEnd88]

This is my second watch through your videos, but the envy is still so real! I want to go to Japan! You lucky b@stards... Nato is infamous in the culinary world. And the restaurants you went to look incredibly amazing! So, so jealous...

[@wenyuannathanzhou3062]

That's a naginata club you guys ran into at 24:07 Really rare to see practioners of traditional Japanese martial arts in Tokyo but definitely more in Kyoto. I hope my next trip back to Japan would be a hiking trip, too! You guys are awesome!

[@xpill1]

At the very moment that the surprise was revealed and the AA group was back together (albeit sans Thomas), I had the image of Voltron assembling in my head. Looking forward to seeing the episode!

[@AdventureArchives]

+uberdork-esq lol perfect. We tried to get Thomas here too but he couldn't miss the work

[@mariannesouza8326]

Wonderful surprise! 😀👍🏼

[@brandonroot2840]

Wow! I feel kinda ridiculous at how excited I was for the meet up; sounds like an amazing adventure is in the works!

[@AdventureArchives]

I'm excited to put the footage together and share it!

[@gilmarbeta]

Aww man! So cool! Where exactly in Japan are you guys right now?

[@texashikeaholicsadventures5651]

Very cool video!! We really enjoyed! Very interesting!! Thanks for sharing!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Texas HIKEaholics thank YOU for watching!

[@criscoleman]

Somehow I missed the departure of Marissa. All of a sudden I realized she was not there anymore. Very cool to see Andrew and Bryon show up. Total surprise. As a non-gamer, what exactly is RPG? Walking through the light-up streets made me think of Las Vegas, only this to me was LV on steroids. Very cool to see; undoubtedly a bit more surreal to experience in person, I would imagine.

[@faramuhadi]

That is such a nice surprise!! I was wondering also why did you put the AA watermark there. But I feel so delighted when I see Bryan and Andrew! (The dramatic music in the background worked well) Cant wait for the next AA video!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Fara hmm not sure I think the aa watermark is automatic. But yes me too! Soon!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Fara hmm not sure I think the aa watermark is automatic. But yes me too! Soon!

[@Capex567]

“That is a Japanese baby” lol!!

[@SolARLightBeam]

Love watching your adventures! The music you guys make is always bomb really good to listen to. Is your music streaming anywhere? I would love listening on Spotify while creating. Anyways thanks for sharing your adventures with us ✨🌸💗🌸✨

[@citylies1576]

Hey Robby. Loved your last Tokyo blog. Hopefully you find more sweet boxed Super Famicom games. :)

[@santinlarissa]

Awesome!! Enjoy!!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Larissa Santin thanks!

[@EeeZeeFilms]

EYY! Exploring with Josh is a great channel!

[@kjcantgame]

So cool!!

[@jediprime01]

Great Video

[@AdventureArchives]

+Jedi Prime thank you! Great name

[@ropblu3]

I love ur music !!

[@dlhoskin]

what happens when someone needs to leave in those narrow tables in the restaurant alleys... they all have to get up to let you leave. Thank you for sharing....... :)

[@janmir99]

Winter climb! so exciting stuff :D

[@AdventureArchives]

+Jan Miranda indeed!

[@rodyinjapan]

24:35 which camera are you using?

[@AdventureArchives]

+Rodi in Japan ah pretty much the whole thing was the a7s ii with the 16-35mm lens. Some shots were on an iPhone 7 Plus

[@chantall7285]

I love that Bryan and Andrew joined! While watching Day 1 I was actually thinking "too bad the other guys didn't go with Robby". :-D Robby, whatever you were eating at 4 mins in looked nasty! Good on you for trying lol.

[@mehapl2318]

this is the second video of yours I watched. Looks like I found a good YT channel.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks!

[@PaleoHikerMD]

Excellent :)

[@primo9746]

YEEEAAASSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@mbikesrulee]

i was so gonna say you were going backpacking in Japan or you had a ceremony where you became the littke boys godfather :-)

[@mbikesrulee]

great LOST reference!

[@sawdust6968]

YES!!!cant wait to see the Japanese countryside:-D

[@AdventureArchives]

+sawdust 69 it was greatttttt

[@JoePesty]

Robby, Merrissa has the hots for you, go for it!

[@ok92computer]

was pretty surprised when i saw bryan and andrew, the whole time i thought i was watching robby's channel. also didnt remember he put up his japan trip last year on here.

[@AdventureArchives]

+NatSherman nice, I was hoping I could make it a surprise

[@thevideostump46239]

I bet he'd eat it after eating Pickled Bolognie!! Lol...

[@diddyzzz]

安全な旅

[@Drownedinblood]

24:07, I think those things they are carrying around are bows, 弓, unstrung.

[@rafael661kc]

holy crap remember on saw part 1 when the guy got up from the floor and he was the killer the whole time thats how surprised i was when i realized this isnt Robbys channel lol

[@AdventureArchives]

+rafael661kc lolol

[@yerbasa1]

If it is at all possible can you tell me where the food districts is that you guys were at at 19min40sec?

[@DrNagi]

This episode feels very chaotic

[@phoxx87]

Surprise made me :D

[@Drownedinblood]

Lol your experience of Natto is totally different than myself or anyone else I've met, usually they hate the smell but think it tastes great/ok. Idk how you got bitter, but hey your tastebuds.

[@edibleknowledge4716]

You guys deserve more views than Brave Wilderness.. Because honestly, I think they used your alls profile of music on their last video of the Narrows.. not sure what narrows.. could be the alcohol.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Edible Knowledge thanks for kind words! You mean they used our music?

[@edibleknowledge4716]

Not your music, but the same kind of game-esque melody for a journey or on walks videoing the scenery. It could just be the best kinda music for videos capturing nature. Apologies for making your hackles stand I probably could have worded that statement better, but i covered myself pretty damn good.. "It could be the alcohol." Lol, Cheers and be safe in these cold icy times..

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, good to know, thanks man! That channel is really well done!

[@jacktoney1855]

When I saw Brian and Andrew with Robby and Michael I new this would be good

[@AdventureArchives]

Can't wait to edit the episode!

[@sanimgurung87]

where do guys get your music playlist from....?????????? they sound so cooooool guys

[@AdventureArchives]

For these particular vlogs, most of it is music that we've written for our main episodes. Some of it is from KZbins royalty free music selections.

[@ellisgurung]

AdventureArchives especially the ending, i've been searching for it but no luck, any chance you could help me find that tune?

[@sudhan_gee]

I second my friend Ellis. Specially that music played from minute 26, could you guys please help us find that tune please?????

[@christopherhart189]

@@ellisgurung The song at the end was No Rome's song Blue Jeans.

[@aryaldatama243]

please make something like minisode in japan

[@AdventureArchives]

+Ary Aldatama it'll be a full episode actually.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Where's Thomas?

[@AdventureArchives]

Great question! -Thomas

[@chikamichi]

I am dying.

[@TheMessijack]

He look a lot like Criken

[@wontondestructxn]

I could be wrong, but I believe new-half refers to transgenders. The original hafu would be biracial Japanese.

[@vince2nd]

Duece Bagalalow male jagalow lol

[@AdventureArchives]

lolol

[@mehapl2318]

Hot drinks in a plastic bottle. i don't thinks is healthy. (plastic and hot. not the drink itself)

[@AdventureArchives]

Yeah, I've heard that heating plastic isn't good too, hadn't even thought of those bottles being heated though. Well, probably not good to drink too much of it then. -Robby
