I won't lie the video was a nightmare to edit - 360 minutes of footage into 17 minutes! But what an amazing trip it was - enjoy the journey! And let me know if any of you guys have beaten 118 bowls of wankosoba ;-)
5:45 "Who thought this up?" FUN FACT: The Ramune bottle was designed by an English engineer called Hiram Codd, and the drink was introduced by a Scottish man named Alexander Cameron Sim. So we only have the Brits to blame. :)
Being Scottish is also being British, as Scotland, Wales and England are all geographically on the island of Great Britain and they are still together in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland.
What a wonderful world we live in! I shall be forever disappointed that my food isn't brought to me by basket whilst the British national anthem plays. This video was beautiful, well worth all the time spent editing!
Yes, Ryotaro is very good at explaining, knows his stuff, and man his smooth voice! I'd almost say the wrong person was running this channel, but then the sarcasm and satire hit me over and over ^^
@@Aczie042 honestly. Being English myself I have to disagree, because the vast majority of English men do not care about what their stomach looks like, especially those that are as sarcastic as Chris is. We walk around with our shirts off, stomachs sagging over our trousers and we love it. Chris is acting like a teenage girl whos paranoid about never finding a husband.
@@Gulliedoutbigup He's acting like someone who's realized that being overweight is bad for your health and longevity and he's feeling self-conscious about it. A first step to positive change.
@@artsyjames Where I understand what you are saying, he's a tiny bit chubby. He's hardly overweight. I mean, the majority of places that body is considered normal. It's just because in Japan everyone seems to be a god damn twig. That isn't healthy lmao. But the point I'm making is, the persona he puts forward in these videos is an incredibly sarcastic and pessimistic prick who doesn't care about anything, because everythings shit unless it's got alcohol in it etc. And yet he's like 'Oh. I best go with the vertical stripes so I don't look fat !!'. It's a literal 180 on how he's usually acting.
@@ShyguyMM Where I can see where you are coming from, he grew up in the UK and if anything, is only very slightly overweight. Infact, he's probably completely normal compared to the people here. (the UK) It just blows my mind how he doesn't care about a lot 'meaningless' shit like his hair, fashion etc, but for some reason.. the weight is the issue. you know ? He gives the impression he lives how he wishes to live. Does what he wants to do. Eats what he wants to eat and doesn't care... Until the camera catches him sideways and then he suddenly, starts to care about his appareance. Well.. specifically.. his stomachs appareance. It's just a mad contrast that I literally cannot get over, no matter how many years I've been watching his contant.
4:30 just came from the 2023 video of the Non-Stop North series of Abroad in Japan, where I was tickled pink by Chris’s voice over of “A Massive Green Onion!” It’s great that he’s revisiting some of the places he’s been before and being the tour guide this time around.
+H actually it is a joke, by over specifying the compliment it is hardly a comliment any more which my girlfriend and I, both fans of this channel, thought was pretty funny.
Beautiful video. I found myself smiling multiple times. Japanese culture never ceases to amaze and enthrall me. Makes me want to be there right now. Thanks for making this.
Wait a second... he declares his interest in the most cute girl ever shown on this RUclips Channel, and then the girl appears here, shows her gratitude and leaves him her own facebook?. What the hell?, did the planets aligned or the colission with the Andromeda galaxy is more inminent than what NASA told us?. I never expected this kind of result, I don't wanna die D: Exagerated jokes aside, hanna indeed is one of the most delicated and beautifull girls I've ever seen... well... aside from the owner of this channel n.nU
How you guys manage to look fresh and clean in summer is beyond me. I always feel (and look) like I'm melting whenever I step out of the house and into the dreadful Tokyo summer heat. And I'm from a tropical country!
Nerd alert: He used an Incense, an item in the game that increases the spawn rate of Pokemon around you. I don't doubt there were a lot around the resort naturally, but Ryoutarou was definitely tipping the scales in his favour.
Nerd Alert: (lol) Pokemon also spawn naturally in some places even without incense. Its because the spawning is partially based on Niantic's other game ingress POI's. I have noticed that the more people around playing the game the spawn rate also seems higher.
I think that shop owner is a perfect embodiment of Japan. Calm precise and traditional, and then in the flip of a switch eccentric and a bit mad. Love it!
There is no better way to wake up than having a notification of a new video from you!!!! I spent time (not near enough) in Japan a few months ago and watched your videos obsessively beforehand to learn and laugh my ass off in the process. Now I watch to alleviate homesickness (travel-sicknes?) as Japan is clearly where I am supposed to live. I have now depressed myself . . . time for more Abroudin Japan!!! Sincere thanks for all your hard work; you are appreciated.
Sooo, I did a 3 hours research on the song that starts on 7:30 and it seems that the song is called 俵積唄 which means Balthai-Song. So it's a traditional song and I found a few cover versions. The singer seems to be Otsuka Fumio, but with a combined search I found nothing. Somebody might want to help? The terms to search for are 大塚文雄 俵積唄 .
It's been 3 years, but here's the version I found. I would love to know about the meaning and cultural background of the song ruclips.net/video/GZChG6565Ps/видео.html
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that your videos are massively entertaining! I just returned from my first trip to Japan, and watching your videos really helped in preparing me for my trip. Thanks a million, mate! If you are ever in Vancouver, I'll buy you a beer!
you and your fucking videos... showing me all that amazing food and making me crave it. you know what i have? bread. BREAD!! i don't even have anything to go with it... :'(
@@Curiouscrazyi am completely fluent in jp going to japan in october but i also branched out into language learning in general. Japanese was a good launch pad into other countries across the world.
@@yoyochan6668 I love hearing positive updates! Thats super awesome! I just started learning this month, I will be visiting Japan for the 2nd time in October too! Heading to Kyoto! Where will you be going to? That's super inspiring now that you are fluent! I hope that will be me some day. This is super awesome.
+Evan Saltare That's actually exactly what his channel's name is a play on words of. Well, except for the American meaning of "broad". His channel is "A Broad In Japan" since his last name is Broad, but it also means "abroad" as the play on words.
I have always said this to producers when they think people only watch short videos on social. If the video is good and compelling, people will watch long ones, we generally don't flip channels on TV after 5 minutes because the programs are generally well made and hold our interest as viewers.
My life goal is now to pretend to everyone that I'm going to Japan for some illustrious career path to pursue my lifelong dream of bathing myself in Japan's rich culture, amazing people, superb cuisine, and stunning vistas, when secretly I'm actually just going to find this dude and dance with him literally every day and live in a little cave nearby whenever he's not in-shop.

Hello from NY. I would like to tell you that you're videos have made me extremely excited to visit Japan for the first time. You do an amazing job exposing Japanese culture to the rest of the curious world. I would love to see the country side of Japan as you continually display it's beauty and contrast from the city. I have decided to visit Japan in November for my birthday. I will be staying for four days and am so excited in planning my trip with your videos in mind. I just felt like I needed to tell you this because you have really made me even more excited to experience this country. I will try to walk around a lot and take in the city and sights. I think I will stay in shinjuku capsule hotel for my trip. but I still have to decide on how far out I will travel around before returning home. anyways, thanks a lot. take care.
I love your sense of humour, it has a Jeremy Clarkson-like vibe to it! Also, your videos give me inspiration to get better at learning the language; someday I'd love to visit Japan!
7:20 this is what I love about Japan. In western countries by God I can do pretty much whatever I want and so I do it half assed my entire life. But the Japanese? You often find the type there that gets into something and dedicates his heart to it , come heat, come cold, no matter how unimportant it seems to others. I wish I could be more like that, actually.
sooooo many places to rent traditional japanese clothes in main city hubs! Buying kimonos and yukatas: try small stores at side roads, usually the best offers, or try small towns. You can also wear the yukatas they have at the hotels that you're staying.
I'm going to Japan next year, i'm not interested in the big-city stuff. Would you recommend visiting Ouchijuku as a first time visitor? I don't speak japanese at all.
So when Queen Elizabeth passes on (and a king is crowned afterwards), does that mean the Lyrics change to God save the King? Interesting to think a country's anthem title could change at any time.
Can't believe you have been in japan this long and you only discover Ramune now. The first time i arrive in Japan i have no help to open Ramune take me 20 minutes to figure it.
That shop owner that randomly started dancing with the mask on was awesome, such a cool guy!
I didn't expect him to do that because Japanese people are usually quite reserved I believe. But this shows that even they can suddenly act silly 😆👍.
@Gammy Leddack fuck off
@@Hijiri04 what did he even say
Yea , he's awesome
Time stamp?
"I like to be overweight but give the illusion of being thin. That's the western dream." Truer words have never been spoken.
Spoken like a true idiot. Who would like to be overweight?

FUN FACT: The Ramune bottle was designed by an English engineer called Hiram Codd, and the drink was introduced by a Scottish man named Alexander Cameron Sim. So we only have the Brits to blame. :)
If your blaming him he's Scottish not British.

That's a bit counter-productive, isn't it?
Especially with two relaxos in the area!

For some reason there was ton of them in the hotel resort!

I'm going to Japan next year, i'm not interested in the big-city stuff. Would you recommend visiting Ouchijuku as a first time visitor? I don't speak japanese at all.
Such an amazing experience!!
Watching this with closed caption and chuckling everytime it translates wankasoba as "wanker sober".
I've discovered this channel today and it's already my favorite.
So when Queen Elizabeth passes on (and a king is crowned afterwards), does that mean the Lyrics change to God save the King? Interesting to think a country's anthem title could change at any time.
Yes, that is right, It has been God Save the King in the past and will be again when Charles takes the throne.
We're all hoping it goes to William.
Rnott rnott Definitely
I know nothing about any of these ppl. Im stuck with trump. Rip.
then I guess you can sing.. god save the world
Chris,
I watched all of your videos and FINALLY subscribed... don't give up on us!
All right mate I just popped up in tesco grab some beer and turn on this channel it's hilarious mate 😅
Every second of the video I had a smile on my face or laughed out loud, I love it (Japan and you *nohomo*)!
Can't believe you have been in japan this long and you only discover Ramune now. The first time i arrive in Japan i have no help to open Ramune take me 20 minutes to figure it.
I've tried it, and I've never even been to Japan.
Dmitri Kirichenko I've been drinking it since before I was really interested in Japan
