    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Never trust Ryotaro. WHICH way would you rather die? Ski jump, cliff edge or blizzard? CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.

The taxi driver was delighted to have us foreign weirdos and could not have been more attentive, chatting and offering us sweets. Problem was she kept doing it over her shoulder, looking at us, while driving at 40 miles an hour. In the sleet. Over snow. While laughing maniacally.

      Chris is planning to make a movie in the next couple of years (probably in the horror genre). I am hoping he casts some youtube friends in it. It would help increase viewership, and some of them can actually act. Joey and Connor have done voice acting, and Emma actually went to drama school. I think she'd make a great "final girl" in a horror film.

    Chris your cinematography is really becoming next level. It’s quite impressive seeing how far you’ve come since your early days. Even if I sometimes miss the low production days :b

    Wait what! Am I the only one that's fooled by the set? I thought that Chris actually filmed this in an actual alleyway. Did anybody else thought that he actually rented a small abandoned ramen shop? This must have took a long time to build, congratulations on creating such an amazing set!

    I love how there's still a shadow behind you after Ryotaro was exposed as the stalker. Lore building FTW!
    I once got caught in a cloud while skiing. It was probably the scariest experience of my life. Visibility was reduced to barely a few metres and it was really hard to tell if you still were on the track.

    • @mugwump7049
      @mugwump7049 2 года назад

      @ok Maybe, but I don't remember seeing that shadow before and it fits the script perfectly.

    Fucking Legendary. I love this vid Chris. There's so much beings the scenes stuff you should share with your audience. If not in a dedicated video then on stream one day. I think the struggles you encounter while making vids are really entertaining in hindsight. Like how the OG Journey Across Japan was a horrible experience because you worked yourself to the bone trying to edit videos each night. Your embarassment, awkwardness, and pain is our pleasure :)
    Mercy Christmas mate.
