    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Where'd you want to see Natsuki and I travel to next?! We're hoping to do more of these excursions throughout 2021!
    And a special thanks to Sharla & Shiori from Tokyo Creative who came along on short notice to help us film our journey. They're lurking in the background throughout the video.
    I have to say the Tottori sand dunes exceeded my expectations, and I'd love to re-visit the region if not to explore, then certainly to shoot NATSUKI OF ARABIA. (ALSO stick around the for the outtakes right at the end of the video 😂).

      Natsuki has perfect english. He then raises the bar higher, by communicating entirely in avant-garde poetry.

    Natsuki is so funny and interesting whenever I see him in these videos, because when he's speaking japanese he's seemingly just a normal nice dude, but when he's speaking english which I get the feeling isn't a super strong suit, him probably thinking ''man it'd be fun to shoot golfballs off this dune into the water'' in japanese, in english instead becomes this super charismatic ''LET'S GOLF!'' along with a showy charade of shooting a golf ball, I love it so much.

    I think Natsuki has a very gentle, fragile soul and Chris knows that, that's why he's always very kind with him, like an older brother. It's a different kind of energy as with Ryotaro, which I love - Chris & he are more on the same emotional strength level and therefore like two superenergetic school boys, double trouble 🤭

      And the whole getting woken by the announcements thing? TAKE EARPLUGS. Put your phone under your pillow with an alarm on vibrate - boom, problem solved! I do it all the time. Japanese trains run like precision clockwork, so you can use that method for any stop along the line. These sleeper trains are a beautiful thing - sleep AND travel at the same time! Bullet trains are faster, but they take a slice out of your day in a way that sleeper trains don't. I'm surprised Chris didn't ruminate on this in his usual thoughtful manner...
