I think it varies on what area you're in. If you're near food stalls/places where you literally can't go and sit to eat like a busy shopping district, look around and see if others are also eating. Generally, don't buy something from a convience store and then walk while eating.

instead of blowing your nose, you should try inhaling the tissue all the way through your nasal cavities. This way you don't have to worry about finding a trash can for the tissue. It will just disintegrate into your bloodstream.
Happened to me once (fell asleep with a cotton in my nose because of nosebleed), i woke up with a terrible migraine and it's only 5h later, in the plane back to Switzerland that I realized i had a thing stuck in my head... I blew my nose and I could feel the freaking cotton go down my nostril... It was disgusting but god did it feel satisfying.
I spent a year from 2006-2007 in Japan as an exchange student in Nara and wet to an all girls school in Osaka. I say these 12 things are true! And I have never seen someone walk and eat. Never.
I loved it when George said: "Please be kind to me" and Chris said: "Sorry George that is not how the UK works". I love Chris' sense of humor ... or maybe that was just brutal honesty 😆
I feel like the important thing to note is that Chris has experienced the stark contrast of life in the UK vs living in Japan. People in Japan reacting might disagree, but life in Japan may be all they’ve ever known. In comparison to life in the UK there might very well be a much greater emphasis on not blowing your nose in public or eating while walking that Chris noticed.
Yeah I came here to say this if it wasn't already said. A perfect example is like when they start saying how plenty of people walk while eating, there's a special term for it, and there's like half a dozen places in the country where people sometimes do it without being judged and young people even drink Starbucks while walking. To someone outside of Japan, that perspective is already culture-shock on its own. This guy just demonstrated the textbook definition of the exception that PROVES THE RULE. Like I appreciate when Japanese RUclipsrs can step out of their own shoes and say things like "oh is that even more acceptable in other places in other places in the world?" rather than the closed-minded view that within their worldview there's already some walking while eating going on in Japan, so this Englishman doesn't know anything.
As a Brit, I'm more embarrassed when I CAN'T blow my nose in public. Someone actually had a pop at me for it once. I think we find the incessant sniffles more rude and inconsiderate than the actual act of blowing the nose once or twice. Doesn't that piss Japanese people off?
I was also thinking people might be more “harsh” towards a foreign person than a native Japanese person who “breaks the rules” . You’re already under a lot of scrutiny and if you do the “wrong thing” then someone who’s already like 👀 might easily get more annoyed.
It's really easy to miss things about your own culture/language just because it's so natural to you you don't notice it and you may not have compared it to something else before. I used to have a roommate who didn't really speak English, but absolutely insisted to me that in English, our questions ended in a falling tone if there was a 'w' question word in there. I said no way, questions have a rising tone in the end. She made me listen to myself ask me a few questions before I realized she was right😅
I watched George Japans reaction and thats how i started watching you again. Its like advertisment for your channel. In germany the reaction game is strong, but its a win ein for everyone.
definitely got to be a Chris Englund out there somewhere, you got Robert Englund, who played Freddie Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series after all.
Don't feel bad Chris, every Japanese RUclipsr is contractually obligated to react to Filthy Frank and Uncle Roger, plus one additional creator of their choice. It's an honor that they picked you!
True, I even tried to recommend them to watch Calebcity videos. Most of them don't even finish the "People who think they can speak Japanese just because they watch anime" series.
I think your inside Fukoshima video was amazing. You approached the subject with care and respect, and the way you talked to survivors was so genuine and personable. As much as I am enjoying the current journey across Japan, I still think your Fukoshima video was the best.
Damn man, every video I see by you I just appreciate more and more. Your humour, creativity, self deprecating humour, wit, and overall really well written and produces content..thank you. Motivated me to get into studying and learning more about Japan. You offer a lot of well thought out points in your video, without rehashing other people’s points. Thanks for being awesome and approaching things in a positive light :)
He should do a video about 12 things not to do in the UK, directed towards Japanese viewers. In English though, so they get a good taste of the general British attitude to foreign languages. :P

This dude is really good. If he does his own edits, then he's a top notch RUclipsr. And he's a great actor as well. And I like the parts where he makes his videos like they're one of those informative like BBC specials about Japan. I'd love to visit Japan. Probably not live there but going is on my bucket list
OMG that Japanese "mmmm" when they don't approve but they're trying to figure out how to spin it politely LOL. Brings back memories of my time in Japan. And Chris's face while mocking George saying "mmm" killed me, bahahahahaha!!!! And for real... if you have to have a set place to eat and drink while walking in Japan, then, really, you can't eat and drink while walking in Japan lol.
For what it's worth, I watched the original video first, and it is actually the video that introduced me to this channel. That I was introduced to Mrs. Eats through her reaction vid just means I credit yours for getting me into the wonderful world of Japan-based RUclips. I don't usually watch reaction vids TBH, though this is one case where I was actually interested to know what actual Japanese people think. It seems most of them were respectful, in any case.
I agree, though it took me a little while to get around to watch it because I felt I had to get into an better mindset first, but now I'm glad I did and Chris' effort is clearly visible
I'm sure the only reason that Chris's Fukushima documentary didn't get as many views as other videos is that most people use RUclips for light entertainment. The people in the comments who watched it all seem to have been very moved by it. Chris's regular content is always entertaining. That documentary is something special, though, that will stay with you for a long time.
Totally agree I loved that video. It definitely gave me some ideas on where to go when we can travel again. We planned to do a few months travelling Japan. Then the Pandemic happend. Although just makes us more excited to go back there now.
"Don't bother reacting to a video unless you have an original thought, or point, or perspective" This is exactly why I'm not a fan of most reaction videos or channels. There are a handful of great videos that give helpful insight / information that's not discussed in the original video, but most end up going "haha that's funny" or "no that's wrong" but they never bother explaining why or adding anything. This doesn't only apply to Japanese react videos but a lot of general reaction videos. I remember seeing one reaction video on my recommended feed where the two people reacting didn't say anything except "wow that's crazy" once while chuckling maybe 2-3 times, then ended with "thanks for watching our reaction". I'm glad it was a short reaction video because it was a waste of time. That aside, great video as always Chris!
I also feel it's a bit lazy to just take someone else's video they probably spent weeks on just to react without any real input. As Chris stated if you're going to piggyback on someone else's idea at least put a spin on it to make it worthwile...or just make your own video.
With music video reactions you can really get away with it if you have the charisma, the only guy I watch often misses big details, but he’s energetic, makes good jokes and always has a positive attitude no matter the genre.
@@deet917 I get exactly what you say. I Should make an own RUclips Channel called, React to Abroad in Japan and react rewatching all videos without adding anything useful.
Agree, maybe it doesn't reflect in the views, but mostly spending time on youtube (even vids of chris) leave me with a sense of "shit I could've done something more productive in this time", unless the vids show in-depth stuff or informative things. Like the Fukushima ep, so yeah, make more like those please :)
I’ve watch the original, I’ve watched Mrs Eats and George’s reaction, and now I’ve watched his reaction to their reaction of his reacting video. My work here is done.
Been following you on RUclips for few years, love your originality and humor. I do really think your editing and videography skills have gone up a lot over the years to almost a professional level. Keep up the good work 💪 big fan!

I upload in 720p, I think, or I messed up the settings and its lower, oho well you can still see something, who needs 4k anyway, everybody watches RUclips on a damn phone anyway...
One time I requested and hugged a Japanese person who is an idol to me. I was not the only one there who hugged him, but this memory still makes me feel ashamed and keeps me awake at night, even after several years it happened. I just decided that I am better left never ever hugging any humans in my entire life.
I don't think this is an issue, if they have an idol status in foreign countries they are also aware of their habbits, and she they might be uncomfortable but you asked they very much had a chance to deny you. Like george said if they come to us they are also trying to fit in.
I was literally stopped by multiple vendors at Asakusa from walking off eating my cone ice cream and taiyakis. Was asked to finish eating at the stall itself and dispose of all packaging at the bin provided.
George is like the most adorable thing ever. "please be kind to me" "No George that's not how the UK works." I almost passed out laughing, but so true Chris. 😂
@@eyexha yes... hes literally from scotland, yknow, one of the countries in britain. where the fuck did you think he's from, have you never heard him speak?
What’s funny about this is that George was actually incorrect by telling his audience that you were incorrect about the stuff you said on your video. Perhaps it’s because he’s a native and doesn’t pay attention to those sort of things, but while I was stationed with the Airforce in Japan, I actually encountered all of those things, I got thrown out of a restaurant because I was not native, I was constantly cursed out and told to stop walking and go sit in a bench or a fight of stairs and not eat while walking, and George saying this isn’t true, is a complete lie lol!!! He got tons of replies stating the same thing I just said on his video. In my case it took me about 7 months to be able to read and speak Japanese, and that’s when I realized what I was doing was against their cultural upbringing, so I changed my ways and lived a super dope 2 years over there, and currently am waiting to finish my inactive contract with the Airforce to relocate back to Japan since I loved every second of living there.
Definitely went to go watch the Fukushima video after this one finished. I, for one, appreciate your production values and the fact that your videos are never click-baity wastes of bandwidth.
There was a retweet by Neil Gaiman this week: "I love and enjoy good critical writing, but I do like to remind them every now and then that, while we can do our job without them, they can't do theirs without us."
In the quote "their job" = making reaction videos and "our job" = making the videos they are reacting too. Reaction videos are a kind of critical writing.
100% think the Japanese perspective on what not to do in Japan is skewed because it's their country. They don't get looked at like they just crapped in the street if they cross at a red or eat while walking, etc. But foreigners occasionally do because we already stand out and so us not following the standards of politeness sticks out too. Whereas a Japanese not following them just looks like someone not overly concerned with the rules, a foreigner not following them is evidence that we are ignorant or impolite by those who want to judge others. Not all Japanese are so eager to judge foreigners of course, but there are scolds in every society.
I thought the same thing--I bet a local has very different experiences than a foreigner, and probably can get away with more without attracting negative attention. And personally, if I want to know what how I should behave as a foreigner in Japan, I'd probably rather hear from a foreigner in Japan.
@@Omar_Al_Seddik I live in Japan... sure, often foreigners get a pass because Japanese are generally tolerant and understand cultural differences. But that is not always the case, and like I said, since Japanese can immediately see you're foreign, some who are less forgiving of faux paus WILL be *more inclined* to judge you. That's why it's important to know what the general expectation is. You can still disregard it as some Japanese occasionally do, but you should do so knowing that you are likely to attract more attention for it and shouldn't expect not to be judged for it. I've gotten the look before and even comments (usually by older Japanese) and the further out of Tokyo you are, the more likely you are to get looks or comments - whether it's because you're not covered up enough or you're being loud on a train.
Every one has their own experience. Full disclosure, I’m Asian American and blended in physically. When I broke those rules, I’m embarrassed about it but Japanese strangers wouldn’t even care once they know I’m a foreigner. It’s not like there is an ethical or righteousness police to arrest you if you break the rules. My obvious foreign friends who were non-Asians would get the stares and reaction but it never became a scene. I asked my Japanese friends and locals about this and they said foreigners are making it a bigger deal than it needs to be. That’s why more Japanese are making “Reaction” video to tell Chris it’s not a big deal.
I think the fact that every Japanese RUclipsr has a different reaction is just proof that Japan is not some totally homogenous unit with ironclad cultural rules of conduct. Even in Japan, everyone's a little different. (I think Chris' list was solid as a general rule of thumb though.)
@Sir Kyushu I'd assume other people assume that japan is very collectivist and the people there never really stand out. Like china but with less cardboard skyscrapers.
To be honest, I did find you're channel by watching Japanese people react to your "What Not To Do In Japan" video. I'm honestly grateful to them, because without them, I wouldn't have given your videos a chance and ended up subscribing. :) Also, after bingeing most of your videos, I now find it hilarious that Ryotaro was one of the reactors.
@uwu psykoweaz i mean he isn't wrong, sure it sucks that it's the first thing that came to their mind now, but yeah he isn't wrong and that also sucks that it's actually a thing.
After a few minutes in, I had to pause the video and watch George Japan's reaction video. After finishing watching that and this video, I got to go watch your 12 things video so I can thumbs-up that video, too? With your gift of gab, the "I resemble someone in Green Day, just pudgier" looks, the "I wonder what I can stir up in Japan" instinct and research ethics, I think you have found the right button to hit.
yeah, it's like the person above said, many put a thumbnail that makes it look like they're reacting to something awful (not like it's bad, RUclipsrs need that clickbait)
One thing I've come to realized when watch many of this Japanese people react is they don't know how other countries do this "DO Not" things. They always assume that all of this "not to do" are done in the same manner Japanese people do. For example Blow your nose - JP react: It's fine if you blow quietly, What Chris mean: People literally blow the nose off in the west. Walk and eat - JP react: There are places that people don't mind it, What Chris mean: People walk and eat all over the countries in the UK.
...I actually was in awe of your reportage on Fukushima. Beyond the beautiful filming and editing and the respectful storytelling, it conveyed how much you truly love the Japanese people. And you managed all that without any of the typical TV production means. The video has definitely showcased your talent as a documentarist. I'll be happy to see more of that (even on the BBC...). Take care!
I think the issue really is that when it comes to on demand media, if faced with a choice between a documentary on a disaster that is likely filled with sad, if uplifting, stories or a video that is going to be goofy and cheerful... most people will probably prefer the 5 minute "x to (not)do in y" since it's short and digestible and fun over the documentary about one of the biggest nuclear disasters in the world. Why depress yourself with such a thing when you could get a quick and cheap laugh out of a British man unwittingly offend people around him with cheerful Brazilian music.
Alright. I gotta say it. The swearing is fucking brilliant. I did not expect this channel to have ANY profanity. To the point I just commented on the Orginal video not using any curse words because I thought this was a clean channel but nope! The effortless, casual swearing is amazing and I love it. No censors, No stopping yourself or apologizing just pure English swearing and I love it. Cheers from Canada eh!
I'm watching George Japan reacting to Chris England reacting to George Japan reacting to Chris England's 12 Things Not To Do In Japan. When will this madness end?
@@Ludifant I'm currently watching Charles Korea reacting to Snoep Animatie's annoyance at Chris Thornett's comment under Chris England's video predicting George Japan's reaction to Chris England's reaction to George Japan's reaction to Chris England's reaction to George Japan's reaction to Chris England's video, titled "12 Things Not To Do In Japan." So I guess never.
Chris, reaction videos are a great way to share your personality and I would watch just for that. Can't say the same for 99% of other youtubers out there. All your commentary here was hilarious.
I don't mind reaction videos; really have no issue with them, but the RUclips algorithm pushes them waaaaay too much. I see them plastered all over my home page. RUclips sees I watched a thing so it assumes I'm interested in seeing someone's reaction to that same thing. It's basically the modern day of version of reply girls, minus the cleavage on the thumbnail. I'm all for reaction videos as I do get a kick out of watching people react to my own videos, but the RUclips higher ups do need to limit the amount of exposure they get. Push content that has effort put into it! Don't reward people for just sticking a camera in front of their face and reacting to someone else's hard work.
omg you were the first person I ever subscribed to, I remember begging my dad to help me set up a gmail account so I could subscribe after your Harry Potter review
That's true overall. Watch a couple of videos on any subject, and suddenly the algorithm hits you with a wall of all of the same type of videos. Really annoying.
I personally love all of your documentaries about Japan. It's an incredible amount of work and I'm sure a lot of people appreciate it (even if the RUclips algorhithm doesn't). Also, knowing how weird the algorhithm is anyway, maybe they will blow up in views in a couple years. Who knows, maybe the overlords of YT will finally show mercy
It's not surprising to me that easy to digest content does better than hard-hitting sad content. It's not reflective of the quality or importance of Chris' work. For example, it wouldn't matter how good it was, I would never watch a documentary about whaling and dolphin hunting in Japan, it would be too sad for me to handle.
maybe when the next nuclear disaster hits somewhere on earth, the youtube gods will grant him a place in the random suggestions. I mean, that can't take too long right? (I live within 35km of 2 different nuclear plants halp)
I had an English teacher and we always named her after the translation of her name in English 😂 Some people didn't get it and we where like how can you not get it?
How I feel about reaction videos is if someone has something valuable to add to the video. Like more information or a perspective that is different, I think they're perfectly fine because that's transformative. I don't like reactors who just sit there and laugh and add nothing. I sit there and laugh at videos, I don't need to see someone else to do exactly what I did but the only difference is they are recording themselves. We all know the types. So I prefer watching experts in a field reacting to a video. Like historians reacting to history, doctors reacting to medical videos etc because they have insights that expand on the points in the video or call out what is wrong and praise what is correct. If someone has absolutely nothing to add to the video, that's not a reaction in my eyes, that's just trying to make easy money off someone else's hard work. Just my opinion of course.
I actually enjoy just watching people laugh to a video because I’m bad at expressing emotions and it feels weirdly liberating seeing someone express the emotions that I’m feeling. But I also understand that from a creator’s perspective these reactors are making easy cash by using a video they worked hard on.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Here we go then. This is it folks. The pinnacle of RUclips content. A British guy reacting to a Japanese guy reacting to a British guy! I'm not sure how we're ever going to top this. Though I hate to admit it, it was rather fun. Could this be the beginning of a REACT series?! I wouldn't count on it.

I loved it when George said: "Please be kind to me" and Chris said: "Sorry George that is not how the UK works". I love Chris' sense of humor ... or maybe that was just brutal honesty 😆
I feel like the important thing to note is that Chris has experienced the stark contrast of life in the UK vs living in Japan. People in Japan reacting might disagree, but life in Japan may be all they’ve ever known. In comparison to life in the UK there might very well be a much greater emphasis on not blowing your nose in public or eating while walking that Chris noticed.
Yeah I came here to say this if it wasn't already said.
A perfect example is like when they start saying how plenty of people walk while eating, there's a special term for it, and there's like half a dozen places in the country where people sometimes do it without being judged and young people even drink Starbucks while walking.
To someone outside of Japan, that perspective is already culture-shock on its own. This guy just demonstrated the textbook definition of the exception that PROVES THE RULE.
Like I appreciate when Japanese RUclipsrs can step out of their own shoes and say things like "oh is that even more acceptable in other places in other places in the world?" rather than the closed-minded view that within their worldview there's already some walking while eating going on in Japan, so this Englishman doesn't know anything.
Well stated... 👍👍👍🌋
And No VOLCANO stuck in my head still, thanks Chris..
As a Brit, I'm more embarrassed when I CAN'T blow my nose in public. Someone actually had a pop at me for it once.
I think we find the incessant sniffles more rude and inconsiderate than the actual act of blowing the nose once or twice. Doesn't that piss Japanese people off?
I was also thinking people might be more “harsh” towards a foreign person than a native Japanese person who “breaks the rules” . You’re already under a lot of scrutiny and if you do the “wrong thing” then someone who’s already like 👀 might easily get more annoyed.
It's really easy to miss things about your own culture/language just because it's so natural to you you don't notice it and you may not have compared it to something else before. I used to have a roommate who didn't really speak English, but absolutely insisted to me that in English, our questions ended in a falling tone if there was a 'w' question word in there. I said no way, questions have a rising tone in the end. She made me listen to myself ask me a few questions before I realized she was right😅
I watched George Japans reaction and thats how i started watching you again. Its like advertisment for your channel.
In germany the reaction game is strong, but its a win ein for everyone.
“Your face looks better in 480p anyways”
Omg the roast 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I burst out laughing
😂😂😂
freaking love George lol
The "heh" at the end
He can travel to the UK... he is prepared !
"Chris England" is actually quite a nice sounding name.
Chris England, Abroad in the UK
definitely got to be a Chris Englund out there somewhere, you got Robert Englund, who played Freddie Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series after all.
Dave Kawaii
Name already taken.
true, it sounds authentic
Don't feel bad Chris, every Japanese RUclipsr is contractually obligated to react to Filthy Frank and Uncle Roger, plus one additional creator of their choice. It's an honor that they picked you!
Is always priceless when they watch content made by Georgie.
True, I even tried to recommend them to watch Calebcity videos. Most of them don't even finish the "People who think they can speak Japanese just because they watch anime" series.
I think your inside Fukoshima video was amazing. You approached the subject with care and respect, and the way you talked to survivors was so genuine and personable. As much as I am enjoying the current journey across Japan, I still think your Fukoshima video was the best.
I love the random George Japan cameo.
Me tooo aaaaa
That got me good also!
Your face looks better in 480p anyway!

Hi Tanaka-kun!
Chris getting back at them by reacting to them reacting to him. Big brain move. Wait, what happens if they react back? The Chris Paradox.
Inception.
Then he reacts
we are all waiting for it
They should just keep reacting to each other indefinitely!
2:35 George is already 10 parallel universe ahead of u
I have a teacher called Chris England, he's American...
You should call him "Mr. Worldwide" instead
Must tell your teacher to change his second name to Chris Washington 👀lamo

Damn man, every video I see by you I just appreciate more and more. Your humour, creativity, self deprecating humour, wit, and overall really well written and produces content..thank you. Motivated me to get into studying and learning more about Japan. You offer a lot of well thought out points in your video, without rehashing other people’s points. Thanks for being awesome and approaching things in a positive light :)
Not gonna lie, I'd click on a more things not to do in Japan. Then again, I click on all of your videos.
I loved your videos
He should do a video about 12 things not to do in the UK, directed towards Japanese viewers. In English though, so they get a good taste of the general British attitude to foreign languages. :P
Oh did you change your profile pic it's very subtle but I noticed the difference.

“No George, that’s not how the UK works” 😂🤣
That was my favorite line in the video XD
We speak only in sarcasm and insults ~
Never been to the UK for long, but meeting people from there online definitely does it justice
Me at start: "I hope George Japan doesn't take these jokes the wrong way."
*George cameos in video*
Me: "Oh, alright then cool!"
This dude is really good. If he does his own edits, then he's a top notch RUclipsr. And he's a great actor as well. And I like the parts where he makes his videos like they're one of those informative like BBC specials about Japan. I'd love to visit Japan. Probably not live there but going is on my bucket list
OMG that Japanese "mmmm" when they don't approve but they're trying to figure out how to spin it politely LOL. Brings back memories of my time in Japan. And Chris's face while mocking George saying "mmm" killed me, bahahahahaha!!!! And for real... if you have to have a set place to eat and drink while walking in Japan, then, really, you can't eat and drink while walking in Japan lol.
The exception confirms the rule.

For what it's worth, I watched the original video first, and it is actually the video that introduced me to this channel. That I was introduced to Mrs. Eats through her reaction vid just means I credit yours for getting me into the wonderful world of Japan-based RUclips. I don't usually watch reaction vids TBH, though this is one case where I was actually interested to know what actual Japanese people think. It seems most of them were respectful, in any case.
Your tsunami documentary is one of the finest pieces of cinematography i've seen in a long time.
Agree..
I agree, though it took me a little while to get around to watch it because I felt I had to get into an better mindset first, but now I'm glad I did and Chris' effort is clearly visible
I agree! I was blown away watching the documentary. It clearly showed that it was a passion project.
"Sorry George, that's not how the UK works" - had to pause there to stop laughing :D
same :'D
I'm sure the only reason that Chris's Fukushima documentary didn't get as many views as other videos is that most people use RUclips for light entertainment. The people in the comments who watched it all seem to have been very moved by it. Chris's regular content is always entertaining. That documentary is something special, though, that will stay with you for a long time.
100% agreed. it's a shame he may be inclined not to produce videos like that as often due to the views, but it was such an insightful watch.
I learned a lot after watching that video. There aren't many documentaries that mentions Fukushima as Chris did.
I think it was the title
It is incredible and I'm personally hoping for more such content down the road.
Totally agree I loved that video. It definitely gave me some ideas on where to go when we can travel again. We planned to do a few months travelling Japan. Then the Pandemic happend.
Although just makes us more excited to go back there now.
Here a year later to say that Yuya and Mrs Eats channels are good channels as well. Both the creators do very well videos.
Yea Yuya just oozes coolness, love his stuff. Not really familiar with Mrs Eats but she seems great too
"George is humble he's barely in the frame of his own video" had me chocking on tea 😂 It's okay Chris, they're riding on the tail of your success.
"Don't bother reacting to a video unless you have an original thought, or point, or perspective"
This is exactly why I'm not a fan of most reaction videos or channels. There are a handful of great videos that give helpful insight / information that's not discussed in the original video, but most end up going "haha that's funny" or "no that's wrong" but they never bother explaining why or adding anything. This doesn't only apply to Japanese react videos but a lot of general reaction videos. I remember seeing one reaction video on my recommended feed where the two people reacting didn't say anything except "wow that's crazy" once while chuckling maybe 2-3 times, then ended with "thanks for watching our reaction". I'm glad it was a short reaction video because it was a waste of time.
That aside, great video as always Chris!
i didnt read the whole thing but amen
You might want to check out Blind Wave. They do the most thought commentary in the reactions of all channels I've watched.
I also feel it's a bit lazy to just take someone else's video they probably spent weeks on just to react without any real input. As Chris stated if you're going to piggyback on someone else's idea at least put a spin on it to make it worthwile...or just make your own video.
With music video reactions you can really get away with it if you have the charisma, the only guy I watch often misses big details, but he’s energetic, makes good jokes and always has a positive attitude no matter the genre.
@@deet917 I get exactly what you say. I Should make an own RUclips Channel called, React to Abroad in Japan and react rewatching all videos without adding anything useful.
That Fukushima video was incredible, I’d honestly love to see more in-depth stuff like that
I totally agree
Agree, maybe it doesn't reflect in the views, but mostly spending time on youtube (even vids of chris) leave me with a sense of "shit I could've done something more productive in this time", unless the vids show in-depth stuff or informative things. Like the Fukushima ep, so yeah, make more like those please :)
I’d like to see somebody reacting to it.
Me too. Its rare to see videos of that quality on youtube.
I’ve watch the original, I’ve watched Mrs Eats and George’s reaction, and now I’ve watched his reaction to their reaction of his reacting video.
My work here is done.
"Yeah. To be honest, Chris, your face looks better in 480p anyway."
OMG 😂😂
When he popped up I choked on the water I was drinking cause I was laughing so hard!
He looks better insulting anyway 😆
Now this, right here, is some quality English ribbing.
I died.

Chris finally getting the clout he deserves.
Hahahaha
Thanks dad

Not intentional but so funny!!!
I want to see a video of you reacting to his crack about Dalmatians dying for your shirt :)

Been following you on RUclips for few years, love your originality and humor. I do really think your editing and videography skills have gone up a lot over the years to almost a professional level. Keep up the good work 💪 big fan!

One time I requested and hugged a Japanese person who is an idol to me.
I was not the only one there who hugged him, but this memory still makes me feel ashamed and keeps me awake at night, even after several years it happened. I just decided that I am better left never ever hugging any humans in my entire life.
I don't think this is an issue, if they have an idol status in foreign countries they are also aware of their habbits, and she they might be uncomfortable but you asked they very much had a chance to deny you.
Like george said if they come to us they are also trying to fit in.
This is bringing me a level of joy I didn't think was possible.
"Your face looks better in 480p" is going to be my new insult.
Chris: *Ironically reacts to reaction videos*
Also Chris: *Makes an unironically more entertaining reaction video than anyone else*
Right? The editing and curation of amusing moments was so on point!
Rissotoro's reaction is pretty entertaining too, lol.
he actually edits unlike almost all the others
I was literally stopped by multiple vendors at Asakusa from walking off eating my cone ice cream and taiyakis. Was asked to finish eating at the stall itself and dispose of all packaging at the bin provided.
Can't wait to see George Japan react to this. Edit: Oh touché, he is in the goddamn video...
Chris mocking the reaction trend while dressing up as a homeless man is exactly why I love him and his content.
we need more Berry Reaction
What do you mean homeless man ? That was poor Dave, who has been locked up for months and finally let out for a few minutes to help with this video 😉
George is like the most adorable thing ever. "please be kind to me" "No George that's not how the UK works." I almost passed out laughing, but so true Chris. 😂
[shows pictures of Gordon Ramsay, Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan]
@@RealChiliConQueso Wait Gordon Ramsay is british?
@@eyexha yes... hes literally from scotland, yknow, one of the countries in britain. where the fuck did you think he's from, have you never heard him speak?
What’s funny about this is that George was actually incorrect by telling his audience that you were incorrect about the stuff you said on your video. Perhaps it’s because he’s a native and doesn’t pay attention to those sort of things, but while I was stationed with the Airforce in Japan, I actually encountered all of those things, I got thrown out of a restaurant because I was not native, I was constantly cursed out and told to stop walking and go sit in a bench or a fight of stairs and not eat while walking, and George saying this isn’t true, is a complete lie lol!!! He got tons of replies stating the same thing I just said on his video. In my case it took me about 7 months to be able to read and speak Japanese, and that’s when I realized what I was doing was against their cultural upbringing, so I changed my ways and lived a super dope 2 years over there, and currently am waiting to finish my inactive contract with the Airforce to relocate back to Japan since I loved every second of living there.
I doubt Japanese people have a good image of foreign soldiers.
Meanwhile I’m wondering what your favourite tea is?

As a good British person should do. LOL
'a fraud in japan: destoryed with words and logic' made me cackle
Definitely went to go watch the Fukushima video after this one finished. I, for one, appreciate your production values and the fact that your videos are never click-baity wastes of bandwidth.
There was a retweet by Neil Gaiman this week: "I love and enjoy good critical writing, but I do like to remind them every now and then that, while we can do our job without them, they can't do theirs without us."
what does it have to do with this video?
@Mog X yup
In the quote "their job" = making reaction videos and "our job" = making the videos they are reacting too.
Reaction videos are a kind of critical writing.
After watching that Trash Taste episode with Chris, I can only say:
"He actually did it. The absolute mad lad!"
He’s running out of ideas
100% think the Japanese perspective on what not to do in Japan is skewed because it's their country. They don't get looked at like they just crapped in the street if they cross at a red or eat while walking, etc. But foreigners occasionally do because we already stand out and so us not following the standards of politeness sticks out too. Whereas a Japanese not following them just looks like someone not overly concerned with the rules, a foreigner not following them is evidence that we are ignorant or impolite by those who want to judge others. Not all Japanese are so eager to judge foreigners of course, but there are scolds in every society.
yeah cant take foreigner opinion
if you cant take other complain, how do you improve your company,your self, country
I thought the same thing--I bet a local has very different experiences than a foreigner, and probably can get away with more without attracting negative attention. And personally, if I want to know what how I should behave as a foreigner in Japan, I'd probably rather hear from a foreigner in Japan.
It actually works the other way around... Foreigners in Japan often receive the "foreigner pass" whenever they do something stupid or unrespectful.
@@Omar_Al_Seddik I live in Japan... sure, often foreigners get a pass because Japanese are generally tolerant and understand cultural differences. But that is not always the case, and like I said, since Japanese can immediately see you're foreign, some who are less forgiving of faux paus WILL be *more inclined* to judge you. That's why it's important to know what the general expectation is. You can still disregard it as some Japanese occasionally do, but you should do so knowing that you are likely to attract more attention for it and shouldn't expect not to be judged for it. I've gotten the look before and even comments (usually by older Japanese) and the further out of Tokyo you are, the more likely you are to get looks or comments - whether it's because you're not covered up enough or you're being loud on a train.
Every one has their own experience. Full disclosure, I’m Asian American and blended in physically. When I broke those rules, I’m embarrassed about it but Japanese strangers wouldn’t even care once they know I’m a foreigner. It’s not like there is an ethical or righteousness police to arrest you if you break the rules. My obvious foreign friends who were non-Asians would get the stares and reaction but it never became a scene. I asked my Japanese friends and locals about this and they said foreigners are making it a bigger deal than it needs to be. That’s why more Japanese are making “Reaction” video to tell Chris it’s not a big deal.
Your sense of humor and editing is gold. 😂
Japanese RUclipsrs: What we think about Abroad in Japan reacting to us reacting to him

Ô gaúcha! 💓 Vai visitar o Japão um dia?
shush you
I think the fact that every Japanese RUclipsr has a different reaction is just proof that Japan is not some totally homogenous unit with ironclad cultural rules of conduct. Even in Japan, everyone's a little different. (I think Chris' list was solid as a general rule of thumb though.)
At the point that they’re doing RUclips those people are already outside of the “Japanese norm”
6dm Good point haha
@Sir Kyushu I think you're assuming this is an ethnic thing? And not just meaning homogenous in a more general way?
@Sir Kyushu I'd assume other people assume that japan is very collectivist and the people there never really stand out. Like china but with less cardboard skyscrapers.
@@cooldud7071 if you actually look into China though and its people, they’re not really homogenous
To be honest, I did find you're channel by watching Japanese people react to your "What Not To Do In Japan" video. I'm honestly grateful to them, because without them, I wouldn't have given your videos a chance and ended up subscribing. :)
Also, after bingeing most of your videos, I now find it hilarious that Ryotaro was one of the reactors.

“Your face looks better in 480p anyway” is probably the best joke on this channel and it isnt even Chris’
That is obviously a Brit joke. Chris gave George that joke 100%
Reaction videos may get millions of views, but your production quality is what makes me keep coming back for every new video
After a few minutes in, I had to pause the video and watch George Japan's reaction video.
After finishing watching that and this video, I got to go watch your 12 things video so I can thumbs-up that video, too?
With your gift of gab, the "I resemble someone in Green Day, just pudgier" looks, the "I wonder what I can stir up in Japan" instinct and research ethics, I think you have found the right button to hit.
HAHAHA “To be honest your video looks better in 480p!” OMG I almost pissed myself that was hysterical!
I actually watched a few of these and they seemed to mostly agree with Chris.
Yes but a lot of them had a title that suggested they wouldn't. Or at least the one I saw and got recommended.🤔
yeah, it's like the person above said, many put a thumbnail that makes it look like they're reacting to something awful (not like it's bad, RUclipsrs need that clickbait)
One thing I've come to realized when watch many of this Japanese people react is they don't know how other countries do this "DO Not" things. They always assume that all of this "not to do" are done in the same manner Japanese people do.
For example
Blow your nose - JP react: It's fine if you blow quietly, What Chris mean: People literally blow the nose off in the west.
Walk and eat - JP react: There are places that people don't mind it, What Chris mean: People walk and eat all over the countries in the UK.
Then you are part of the problem..
He is so British he roasts himself at the end
your humour is actually hilarious LMAOOO idk if its just a brit thing but I have been laughing nonstop
Don't be discouraged. Your production value doesn't go unappreciated.
...I actually was in awe of your reportage on Fukushima. Beyond the beautiful filming and editing and the respectful storytelling, it conveyed how much you truly love the Japanese people. And you managed all that without any of the typical TV production means. The video has definitely showcased your talent as a documentarist. I'll be happy to see more of that (even on the BBC...). Take care!
So agreed, it was brilliant and powerful.
I came here to say the same. Cheers.
I think the issue really is that when it comes to on demand media, if faced with a choice between a documentary on a disaster that is likely filled with sad, if uplifting, stories or a video that is going to be goofy and cheerful... most people will probably prefer the 5 minute "x to (not)do in y" since it's short and digestible and fun over the documentary about one of the biggest nuclear disasters in the world. Why depress yourself with such a thing when you could get a quick and cheap laugh out of a British man unwittingly offend people around him with cheerful Brazilian music.
"A Fraud in Japan" has had me crackin' up all afternoon.
I just commented the same before I saw this...he saved the best till last 😂
Alright. I gotta say it. The swearing is fucking brilliant. I did not expect this channel to have ANY profanity. To the point I just commented on the Orginal video not using any curse words because I thought this was a clean channel but nope! The effortless, casual swearing is amazing and I love it. No censors, No stopping yourself or apologizing just pure English swearing and I love it. Cheers from Canada eh!

So I guess never.
"Sorry George, that's not how the UK works". Truth.
"A Fraud in Japan" - had me laughing for a solid minute.
That was a better pun that I gave credit at first.
Chris, reaction videos are a great way to share your personality and I would watch just for that. Can't say the same for 99% of other youtubers out there. All your commentary here was hilarious.
I don't mind reaction videos; really have no issue with them, but the RUclips algorithm pushes them waaaaay too much. I see them plastered all over my home page. RUclips sees I watched a thing so it assumes I'm interested in seeing someone's reaction to that same thing. It's basically the modern day of version of reply girls, minus the cleavage on the thumbnail.
I'm all for reaction videos as I do get a kick out of watching people react to my own videos, but the RUclips higher ups do need to limit the amount of exposure they get. Push content that has effort put into it! Don't reward people for just sticking a camera in front of their face and reacting to someone else's hard work.
omg you were the first person I ever subscribed to, I remember begging my dad to help me set up a gmail account so I could subscribe after your Harry Potter review
I'm getting bombarded with them over the last week, they all have the same reactions really nothing controversial or critical.
FBE react: 👁️👄👁️

That's true overall. Watch a couple of videos on any subject, and suddenly the algorithm hits you with a wall of all of the same type of videos. Really annoying.
This just the beginning of Abroad in Japan extended universe.
Soon, Chris will also make his own podcast named "A Broad Taste" consisting Chris, Natsuki and Ryotaro
I personally love all of your documentaries about Japan. It's an incredible amount of work and I'm sure a lot of people appreciate it (even if the RUclips algorhithm doesn't). Also, knowing how weird the algorhithm is anyway, maybe they will blow up in views in a couple years. Who knows, maybe the overlords of YT will finally show mercy
I really loved the Fukushima one, it was so well made and documentary-like.
It's not surprising to me that easy to digest content does better than hard-hitting sad content. It's not reflective of the quality or importance of Chris' work. For example, it wouldn't matter how good it was, I would never watch a documentary about whaling and dolphin hunting in Japan, it would be too sad for me to handle.
His documentary style videos are easily netflix level of quality.
maybe when the next nuclear disaster hits somewhere on earth, the youtube gods will grant him a place in the random suggestions. I mean, that can't take too long right? (I live within 35km of 2 different nuclear plants halp)
Blue Agreed. But I don’t think the RUclips algorithm is hurting him TOO much. (2 million subs) 😆
Hes not lying. I switched up to 1080p and I did feel like I could touch his face. Don't stop it, keep it up
Japan TV News reporter: "Are you RUclipsr?"
Chris "Yes, I watch RUclips videos of people watching me on RUclips"
My chemistry teacher was called Chris England. We used to call him Mr Scotland to annoy him. Trolling before the internet was tough...
I had an English teacher and we always named her after the translation of her name in English 😂 Some people didn't get it and we where like how can you not get it?
Is his grandpa name John Great Britain?
Plot twist: he was actually Welsh.
Chris became a real Japanese person, after all I didn't understand whether he's angry or pleased that others make reactions to his videos 😂🤣
Starting as a British guy kind of helped on that front, didn't it?
How I feel about reaction videos is if someone has something valuable to add to the video. Like more information or a perspective that is different, I think they're perfectly fine because that's transformative.
I don't like reactors who just sit there and laugh and add nothing. I sit there and laugh at videos, I don't need to see someone else to do exactly what I did but the only difference is they are recording themselves. We all know the types.
So I prefer watching experts in a field reacting to a video. Like historians reacting to history, doctors reacting to medical videos etc because they have insights that expand on the points in the video or call out what is wrong and praise what is correct.
If someone has absolutely nothing to add to the video, that's not a reaction in my eyes, that's just trying to make easy money off someone else's hard work. Just my opinion of course.
I actually enjoy just watching people laugh to a video because I’m bad at expressing emotions and it feels weirdly liberating seeing someone express the emotions that I’m feeling. But I also understand that from a creator’s perspective these reactors are making easy cash by using a video they worked hard on.
