    @CamStLouis 2 года назад +697

    The more I watch these, the more I appreciate how Natsuke is so damn *clever* with the English he knows. Let's review some of Natsuke's greatest one-liners:
    - "Nobody monkey" : a perfectly logical portmanteau of "nobody here" and "no monkeys," upped by the fact he opted to become Somebody Monkey to entertain his friends (and unsuspecting livestream viewers).
    - "Spider trash" : what could better describe the anger we feel at the inconsiderate way spiders string their webs right where we'll walk into them?
    - "Let's cooking!" : the off-kilter syntax and goofy enthusiasm perfectly matches the funny and haphazard guest "perk" of a lone rice cooker in an empty cabin.
    - "Fucking electric!" : succeeds in both cursing the electric sign that burnt him, and a sarcastic British slang response describing something boring or worth missing.
    The most that an average language learner can hope is to get their point across, but Natsuki does it no problem and adds a stroke of genius to boot.

    The studio is soo awesome! I really love that it doesn't look brand new, rather it looks like it's been there for 15-20-30 years. It's got a nostalgic 80/90's Japan feeling. I'm quite annoyed by the fact that I can't go back in time to experience the 80's there.

    Honestly i personally feel a podcast would work really well at this ramen shop. Serving alcohol and just chatting to the shopkeeper (you) about random topics. I understand you have a podcast already with Pete but it would be cool to see even as a one off

    Dear Chris, I have been following you for years. Pausing in the middle of the video to write to you as I am grasping for air. I am so excited and astonished by all the wonderful things you've done. If no one told you this yet, you're a true inspiration and you make people happy.Your studio -even by just watching on my screen- has brought so much nostalgia and joy to me. I hope one day I can visit if that's possible for visitors. Keep up the wonderful work and thank you for bringing happiness to someone who is living the dream through you hehe.
