I like how Chris uses Pete as an excuse to go to all those goofy places while he himself gets to retain the attitude of an intellectual. Very clever. :P
I think it's actually deliberate. It helps give a theme n color to the channel. Brandifying with same fonts, color themes, sounds. Pretty smart, or wicked as they say in Britain. 🙂
@@AbroadinJapan Let me guess: You cut the comment about pink bottoms from your visit to the red light district way later that night to make it appear "kinda ok"!? ;)
@@AbroadinJapan Nice Absolute radio pun. Well, "Nice" is the wrong word, I think Pete's dad issues have rubbed off on you to the point your dad jokes are worse than usual.
Just watched the video again and noticed your comment XD I'm wondering if you saw my comment from earlier since I made the comment on the nails, you have replied to me a couple of times so it's a possibility It's a really nice video, and I just keep on repeating the part where Chris says bye and pops Pete's monster then laughs. I thought he's cute :3 (Just so you guys know, I'm a girl who uses her father's old phone. Name's AJ)
Having now caught up with the podcast and re-watching Journey Across Japan, Pete definitely needs to feature in more stuff with you Chris; you're a hugely entertaining pairing. Perhaps in "Journey Across Japan 2: Hot Air Balloon Edition".
The style of the monster creation shots reminded me of "art attack", where he would first collect seemingly random stuff and make something great out of it.
It took me until 8 minutes in to realize that I am watching some grown men doing arts and crafts, and genuinely enjoying it. Chris, you seem to have a way of making what could be mundane highly entertaining. You're an excellent travel ambassador for Japan.
Alex wilson I know right?! I’ve been watching these videos for ages and lived in Kyoto over a year but it never clicked that he might be blogging in area I’ve been/live 😂
Pete is hands down Chris’s most interesting friend. Who says things like “I’m gonna upset you with the things in my brain” while simultaneously smiling like he does WITHOUT it being sinister?
The look on Chris' eyes right before he murdered Ballooney (yes I named it, you're welcome) is priceless, you guys were meant for each other... cue Kiss' "I was made for lovin' you"
As someone who is fascinated by Japanese culture and always wanted to visit that country, these have been some of the most entertaining videos I’ve watched in quite some time. It’s such a great idea; the videos are very funny, strangely educational, mildly sensual, terribly wacky, and I can’t wait for the next one.
I have yet ANOTHER assignment to write that's due on Thursday but Chris just uploaded so yeah that's not happening for at least another 11:23. My day has been made!
hehe, you and pete are a great duo! I've been listening to the Abroad in japan podcast since it came out, can't get enough of it. You guys are awesome, keep up the good work! Oh and BTW Pete's Yokai won.
So Chris, I receive a notification that you gave my comment a heart, and whilst I understand it's youtube's default, I can't picture you giving away hearts with your hands left and right, so I'm going to imagine instead of a heart you gave me a solid smirk, and give you back a smugly confident smile (I think I've seen too many of your vids and I'm slowly becoming a 30 year old british man)
Japanese Bystanders : Look at that two foreigners playing with their foods and sitting in a parking space that was disturbing Chris:*pop the balloon* PETE:*Screaming*
Hey CHRIS, AND PETE. Wow 5 Years later and I still watch this entire series. Everyone has made me laugh so much and so great moments till now, but when Pete joined. Ive been crying in laughter the time with him. Chris I truly love your channel. I rewatch all the time. PLEASE HURRY BACK WITH VIDEOS.
Thank you. I took a trip to Japan for a week late November (started planning 6 months in advance). I was nervous and looked up a bunch of videos on Japan and found your channel. Alot of your tips and lessons helped so much to make the experience amazing. Out of all the RUclips channels and other sources, you helped me be prepared the most. Thanks for doing this channel so much. Sorry for the long comment... PS. I love all your jokes in your videos
I live in Kyoto for 3 month already but thanks to you I discovered a lot of new things, how could I never heard of the best attraction of Kyoto, buying random things in a konbini to create monsters !
Pete is a great addition to your show Chris. I have been enjoying your banter back and forth in the Abroad in Japan Podcast. I'm totally going for Pete's monster, it has hands after all.
Yet another adventure featuring my favourite RUclipsr and favourite 37-year-old, happy I could start my day with this. As for the monsters, yours was the sweetest and Petes was the Dadest.
My vote goes to Pete’s monster! Simple, but terrifying. ❤️ I love the AiJ podcast and you two are even more enjoyable in video. Such a complementary duo! And despite all the self-depreciating jokes, I find Pete hilarious and adorable. ❤️
Just wanted to say Chris, that I recently visited Japan for 3 weeks and you brought me there. You’re amazing content prepared and helped me understand the culture a lot before going and your tips and content came in handy many times. I will definitely go back every year. Thanks Chris, keep making awesome videos ❤️
Wait, you said the monsters in folklore were to scare children to doing their chores but all I got from the story was not to clean my room and not to throw stuff away
theworldsoutside.com/2020/05/01/last-september/ Stuck at home during the COVID-19 crisis? Well, me too. Here's a fleeting, mono no aware reminiscence of a moment in Kyoto last September. I visited for the second towards the end of a long journey, after living in Hiroshima for a year and spending my summer working at a summer camp in the mountains. Go to my blog to check it out!
Pete Donaldson may be my favourite guest of yours yet. You are like two peas in a pod. You play off each other perfectly. And he's funny in his own right. More Pete!
I really enjoy Pete's delivery of his eagerness and excitement. There's a childlike quality to it that seems genuine. And then there's Chris Broad. : )
Gah, we're going to Kyoto for the holidays and I'm so excited. Hoping it snows so we can get some good footage. Loving the latest videos you're putting out.
I love seeing the locals just staring at these two abroad goofballs messing about with various arts & crafts in, presumedly, a corner-store's parking lot.
It's on my bucket list to visit Japan, I'm currently studying the language and Kyoto is my number one destination because that's where Nintendo's primary HQ is. This video has increased my desire to go there.
the first time i watched journey across japan when it came out, i didnt know who pete was. i recently discovered the podcast and am back to rewatch his episodes! amazing dude
Another awesome video as usual Chris. Your videos inspired us (wife & I ) to Make Japan our first international vacation. Cant wait to go back again next year. keep up the good work. BTW my vote is for Pete
@@AbroadinJapan Oh i forgot that trekking episode. Regardless, i'm happy to hear that he's coming soon. I was hoping him to be one of the guests but wasnt sure if the old man can ride a bike.
I like how Chris uses Pete as an excuse to go to all those goofy places while he himself gets to retain the attitude of an intellectual. Very clever. :P
Haha, you've pretty much summed up why we brought Pete along.
RocketJew ingenious.
@@AbroadinJapan Yeah. But we've seen you drunk couple of times m8. That boat has sailed ... Like WAY of the edge off the world
Real clever he is.
Many many many many monkeys….
I love that Chris has a library of about 10 sound effects that he's been using for years now
The *baduuuuum* became iconic on this channel! I harldy can imagen how Abroad in Japan would be without this effect. 😂
Yeah I feel like it’s more a “braaaaaahhhhh.” But it’s the best.

Off the absolute charts.

Imagine Pete and Natsuki in the same room...good lord the hijinks.
I used to think that Chris was pretty eccentric. But after seeing the people he hangs out with I think he's the more rational one.
Well being eccentric has nothing to do with being rational or not, it is just a matter of perspective.
Ahahah

Is it just me or next to Pete does even Natsuki seem sane & well adjusted??
Pff, all of them three are in a good way bonkers! :D
Come to think of it, Pete is like the British Natsuki

My vote goes to pete for the nightmare factor
don't you mean "DAD"
Pete is out of control but his monster still gets my vote
Chris killed the competition...literally, but pepperoni lips gets my vote. May you rest in pieces.
Rest in pepperoni
Mock him for being 37 now, Chris. But remember, as you watch that man, you are glimpsing into your future.
Slowly going down a slide humming the jurassic park theme tune.
Abroad in Japan : Yeah, it’s a rather succinct, albeit slightly depressing parable for most. Yay.
It's the future we all strive for.
Life, uh, finds a way.
Chris doesn't have NEARLY that much energy now, he won't have it when he's 37.
Lol I died when Pete turned around and said "Marmaduke"
Same xD
Yeah, me too. 😂
Bear Grylls actually did name his son that...

Thank you Chris for slowly pushing out videos! Keep up with the good work and take your time! The production quality of your videos are superb.
Just realised pete’s hair looks like Pidgeotto
At least it is created in Japan! :D
pidgeoooo
Just realised Pete is Pidgeotto
Nope, it’s a Peaky Blinders haircut. If you have never seen the show, highly recommend you check it out, it’s brilliant.

Lol!! Brilliant
Could it be that all of us are siblings!??? Omg
Looks like dad got around

“Hes 37 years old ladies and gentlemen”.... yup and he’s having more fun than all of us.
Life lived right
I know right? What the hell have the rest of us been doing with ourselves?! 😆😭
This is weird to watch... you literally walk down the street I live on... Those monsters brighten my journey back from University 😂
Wow, that is crazy but cool !
or in pete's world, a street full of dads
Alex wilson I know right?! I’ve been watching these videos for ages and lived in Kyoto over a year but it never clicked that he might be blogging in area I’ve been/live 😂
Man, imagine being Japanese and walking down the streets seeing two foreigners doing arts & crafts near a convenience store.
Especially the people just standing around watching em like "What are these two doing? He's blowing up a balloon? That guy's stabbing a cup?"
You could switch Pete with a 7-year old and there wouldn't be any difference! Can't wait to find out if you made that 80's music video in Osaka yet.
I think in a video or the podcast he said he went to, but all the lights were out because it was late at night. I hope he magically still did tho
This is the kind of cultural enrichment I hope for every time I tune into your channel.
I vote for Pete.
Pete is hands down Chris’s most interesting friend. Who says things like “I’m gonna upset you with the things in my brain” while simultaneously smiling like he does WITHOUT it being sinister?
Pete has such chaotic energy
lets go stretch some monkeys!
yaaaas the man is back!!!! best series ever !
Its like chris and sharla coordinated their videos litterally came right after each other :)
These videos are fantastic. Keep up the great work.
The look on Chris' eyes right before he murdered Ballooney (yes I named it, you're welcome) is priceless, you guys were meant for each other... cue Kiss' "I was made for lovin' you"
You've had good guests on this trip, all of them were likeable if not lovely, but Pete is in a category of his own. What a man.

The most terrifying thing is the stares of the people who watch you guys while you build your creations. Also, Pete wins because of the creativity.
