NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Don't deny it. You wanted to see Ryotaro get run over by the patronisingly slow self-driving cart as much as I did. A MASSIVE thank you to you all for tuning into the Abroad in Japan channel - whether you're new here and are still wondering who the hell we are, or have been watching since the dawn of time (which is 2012). I never thought we'd make it this far and I'm hoping we can do something extra special in 2021! Bring on some serious "pork tactics." (Seriously though, how does Ryotaro invent these phrases?!).

Right... they kill an animal for show and find it remarkable when people don't let it go to waste. Guess that's the saddest part of the video right there.

Ryotaro's taxi driver impersonation just makes it feel more like a cut-scene.

@@paulatreides3214 Haha well I guess it's more of a reminder to myself because I often unnecessarily feel stuck.

[@paulatreides3214]

@@AmeAnimation haha, that's fair enough! As long as you're aware of it. As empowering as these various "you can do whatever you set your mind to" messages can be, they often ignore that different circumstances play an enormous role on what a particular individual can realistically actually do. A lot of people forget that success stories like Chris's are often a result of being "in the right place, at the right time", which is outside of any individual's control.

Ryoto is so animated when tipsy, you need to give him drinks more often.

[@tylerslittlecafe1288]

If I'm picking up on it correctly I think there is a reason he doesn't drink so often, so as funny as that would be I don't think it will happen.

[@BatMan-7777]

Watching your show truly makes me feel like I'm reading a super indepth book that allows me to escape my reality and just enjoy watching pure bliss of You, Natsuki, Royotaro, dr Jelly guy just having fun respectfully, and still have a plethora of educational gains about Japan and its beautiful culture.

[@Axerron]

Man, Ryotaro has such a kind and fun personality. And he always tries his best to be the perfect host to Chris and show him (and us) the top best of Japan. Keep the content with him coming, Chris!

You’re a nice chap Chris! Good hearted and hard working. Thank you for the great videos you’ve done over the years. You manage to communicate what Japan is like well and through your videos it shows how much you’ve loved that country and it’s culture. Keep the good work and I hope to meet you one day.

I’m left handed too and didn’t notice. I wonder if you are left handed you don’t notice because it doesn’t look weird to you? It’s also a little funny because the try guys released a “do everything with your left hand” type video today as well so I’ve been very conscious of my left-handedness all day 😅

[@hinaka]

So, drunk Risottoro can’t stop talking, destroys everything and breaks into musical tunes. 🤣

[@Lunartrek]

Your friends really do add a lot to your videos, by the way. They make Japan seem so much more inviting, socially, than I have always imagined it in my mind.

Two uploads within a week?! Preposterous! Dave, if you're being held hostage by Risottaro, blink twice in the next video.

[@Cirris]

Not going to lie. I was totally thinking, "There was a bear that pissed and shit upsteam from that brook you tasted the water from."

[@Wolfgrand]

Animals that live in the wild don't defecate or generally do their business around the water. Only humans and animals that live with humans go against such a basic instinct.

[@MrDonkeyface2]

Was thinking more about dead sheep, or funky furry local critter.

[@maan7715]

As far as I know the official advice is to not drink from streams of water because there can be a dead rodent or fox etc upstream, not because of them defecating there. But yeah...
