    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Which of today's 21 items would YOU pick if you could have just one?
    Welcome to the brand new Abroad in Japan studio! I didn't do a job pointing out that's where this was shot until about 22:05 into the video.
    Looking forward to giving you the grand tour in a few weeks time when it's finally finished!

    What I like about Chris in Abroad in Japan is that he isn't just talking about an interesting subject, he's really very clever and sly about his topics, and he is both smart and well-read in general. Many other RUclipsrs in general don't match up, with a lack of insight, wit, or just plain research that really shows. Well done.

      Usually the way it works is the more frequently you upload, the lower the amount of views compared to your subscriber count. Someone who is uploading daily should expect to have 10% of views compared to subscribers. Chris uploads less frequently so he should expect a higher percentage.

    Japan really is so varied with their snacks. They will combine the weirdest things.
    Also given how much drinking alcohol is part of the culture it doesn't surprise me that they have hangover cure stuff. Also the energy drinks are probably cause so many people work late hours.

      A lot of languages have grammatical gender systems (with a lot of differences). For example, "bird" is masculine in French (so you would refer to it as "he" instead of "it), but feminine in Russian (="she").
