Hey Chris, I love your videos and you've inspired me to make my own YT channel about living abroad. I'm moving to Korea this year and I'd like to name my channel Abroad in Korea. I realize it's not very original, but would you be alright with that? If not I'll come up with a different name :)
Why not sick with what you already have and call it 'Popular in Korea', 'Popular Korea' or even just start uploading under the name your already using, its not bad as it is. Hope that helps.
now I have to watch all of these videos from 2016 haha That's amazing, you appeared on tv and in the news from UK and USA and how many people you reach with the channel. 5 years later is still a great sucess. well done!

I haven't been subscribed to your channel long, about 2 weeks, but during those 2 weeks i've watch all 90+ videos of yours. Your characteristic sarcasm and lack of "over-enthusiasm" (a good thing, like what you mentioned in your Satirical Vlog) gives me, the viewer, a certain feeling that you're a lot more adapted to Japan, compared with other vloggers who seem more like holiday tourists rather than residents. I just wanted to give you my thanks for entertaining me and giving me a beautiful insight into Japan! Going forward into 2017 I would love to see you do some more city life videos :) things like "Nightlife in Japan" and "Rush hour in Tokyo" sort of thing :) it would also be good to see a Geisha video from you, too. Once again, thank you so much, keep up the high quality work! Liam Belgravia, London
I dont like commenting on old videos, especially from 6 ... years ... ago. That said, you've come a long way. Your vids bring me knowledge and happiness simultaneously. I have found i binge on them when im sad, they pull me right out. Thanks Chris!
HUGE thanks to everyone for your support over the year, and for tuning in to enjoy the videos! BUT what was your highlight of the year? AND what do you want to see us cover in the videos in 2017? LET US know in the comments below! (Your ideas may well actually happen)
Just keep doing more of the same shit Chris, you should just do what you want to do. Natsuki is obviously the star of the show, but you're a pretty cool guy too. I wish you all the best in the years to come, I'll keep watching your videos as long as you keep making them!
Thank you for running this channel, every time i feel bad about myself or my life, i just come here and watch your way more boring life, makes me feel much better instantly. Great stuff, thx!
I just love watching you and Natsuki, you two have made 2020 so much less shitty than it would have been otherwise. I call my vacuum a “fu@king cleaner” too, tell Natsuki he nailed it the first time, he’s just precious and so much fun. My dream is to travel to Japan since 1984 when my brother got married to his Japanese wife and my Mom came home and told me how beautiful it was and how much she loved the people. I was a single working Mom at the time and couldn’t make the trip, now they live in San Diego, he retired from the US Navy in case you hadn’t figured that out already. I’m trying to watch all of your videos and having a blast. You’re amazing.
More Ryotaro, please! :D I love how substantial your videos are. Even this recall vid; most would just stitch highlights of the vids, but your added commentary and additional vids of people reacting makes this really worthwhile. Congrats on another year, and may your new year be more awesome! Captain Fuzz, some suggestions: the desert in Japan, bar hopping, weird museums, moar pets (ain't that cat lonely?), and moar food! :D
My favorite find of 2016 was your channel. In a world of samey, mediocre people talking into cameras, you were my favorite. Hope your new year is like a magic Chris.
I found this channel 3 nights ago and I can't cope I'm fucking addicted and I should be studying for my optometry degree but I CANNOT BECAUSE THIS CHANNEL IS INCREDIBLE AND THE SARCASM SPEAKS TO ME ON ANOTHER LEVEL
Maybe do a video where you find a random tourist and introduce him/her to something cultural or a food thing. Like go to the airport and hold up a sign that says "hire a youtuber for an authentic 'like a magic' tour experience". Who wouldn't be stoked to spend a few hours learning and doing fun stuff!?! Love your videos!
It is not a talent you can learn, simply a gift you are burdened with. Can you handle the overbearing weight of such a gift that you must carry everytime you open your mouth?
You should make video about 100 yen sushi vs 100.000 yen sushi kinda stuff, to poke fun at buzzfeed and lastly, i hope you'll gonna have a great fucking 2017
*Hah!* He doesn't need any of that! All he has to get is a portable (or even stationary) bunsen burner and a knife, I think you all know where I'm headed with this. . . _1000 DEGREE KNIFE CUTS _*_insert random object of interest here_*
honestly stumbling upon your channel was pure gold. i am planning a month long trip to Japan, and this channel has been great in introducing me to fun stuff to do and the unique quirkiness of Japanese culture. Thanks and keep the good work!
04:20 "Some people were equally disappointed I didn't try to wander through the forest and find a dead body or an abandoned tent like you're supposed to." ROTFL
I like the fact that you effortlessly covered the hard work you did behind the screen. Those editing, light and monologues are so on point. :) Plus, you seem like a genuinely nice guy.
Love the channel, Chris! I've been having a bit of a rubbish time lately, but discovered Abroad in Japan and every single video makes me smile. Thank you for bringing a little happiness into my life during a rough spot. Cheers mate.
My man, you have my endless admiration for becoming a full time RUclipsr in Japan! I love your channel and I think your videos are all great! Keep up the good work!
Chris, I have really enjoyed the travel-adventure videos the most thus far. I really feel that you produce a good balance between them and the funnier bits. The funny videos started me following your channel, but searching out videos about foreigners living in Japan and experiencing the Japanese culture, is what brought me to those videos in the first place. Hence, my appreciation of the travel-adventure pieces infused with just the right amount of your brand of humor. I think if they were all "funny" videos, or all "travel" videos, it would get a bit stale and stagnate. You remind me of the television personality, Josh Gates, here is the US. I could honestly see you having your own travel-adventure show one day. I really enjoy your creativity, work, and humor.
I don't even remember when I subscribed to you but it's definitely been around the 2-year mark and your channel is definitely one of my favourites. Your channel is really one of a kind and I look forward to more videos this year. 👌👌🎉
Mr Snuggles was one of the first videos of yours that I watched and I stuck around and watched every video since. So it's safe to say it worked flawlessly.
Discovered your channel just today, I absolutely love it! cannot stop going through all your videos and watching them to the last second - awesome work dude.
Your soul crushing sarcasm is heart warming and helps me get a feel for Japan from a perspective i can really resonate with. Thanks for all your hard work in 2016 and best of luck in the new year.
Strangely, out of all of them, what made me stick around and subscribe was your video on Tsukiji fish market. That one was so professionally done and offered pretty cool insights. Well, that and the love hotels.
Great channel Chris, I watch all your videos :) Keep up the good work! Wishlist, from the top of my head: -Something about winter in Japan -Martial arts -Traffic/cars -Anime/gaming -Crime/laws/punishment -Maid cafe's
Absolutely love your sense of humor! Some ppl need to lighten up a bit. And fuckin Natsuki! That dude is comedic gold bruh😂😂😂

I'm a new subber but man I love your videos, kind of humor I like most...but especially when you and Natsuki are hanging out. It's just nice to see two friends taking the piss out of one another and laughing so much.
We visited a tea farm in Shizuoka last year. We picked tea and enjoyed a very warm welcome from the tea ladies and farmers. It would make a fantastic video!!! 🌱
My favourites were your travels throughout Japan with Chris Okano and Kim Dao, Rachel & Jun. Please do more of that. Countryside travelling videos with your friends and your humour make a great combination! Its like the queen of Vlogs. :D I still remember the gorge-ous experience you had once, during a boat ride. :))
But Chris, don't take her to suicide forest.... I mean... personally, I'm down for adventure and even some slightly creepy, mysterious adventures. But if a first date tried to bring me to a place where tons of people have gone to end their lives... lololol😂.... No.😐 Next date maybe try something a little lighter. Bowling perhaps. Maybe an outdoor festival of any kind, a cool cafe. Save Suicide Forest for at least until you've got her heart. ...And the rest of her... not just her heart...😐😐😐😛
Got a question Chris; no worries if you don't wanna answer (might be too personal). But I was wondering what sort of Japanese residential status you have as a full time RUclipsr? I'm thinking some sort of self-employed one? Cos I make RUclips videos full time as well and I'm wondering if moving and living in Japan is at all possible as a full time RUclipsr. Again, sorry if this is too personal. You and your videos kick ass by the way :)
You and Natsuki are the best thing to happen to RUclips
yep
Agreed
Fax😂😂😂you should also check out natsuki on Tokyo creative. His jokes🤣🤣
You mean the best thing to happen to ME!
If Natsuki were to become king, I would call him Natsuking.
Street Skater 66 ??
If someone kills him, you could call him Natsushi.
or Natsukihito
FaKing ?
Natsuki-sama
Make Natsuki the biggest Japanese celebrity since Watanabe!
Who's Watanabe?
Now I want Natsuki to meet Ken!
2016: Wasn't a total disaster
2020: Hold my corona
Just came to make that joke XD
2020 is a lot better when watching these two wouldn’t you agree?
True great binge watch for day who knows of stuck in the house
2020: "Here's a Volcano eruption, earthquakes, and a potential World War too."
oshit
"So he got his chocolate fries..."
- I love a groundbreaking reaction video.
Hey Chris, I love your videos and you've inspired me to make my own YT channel about living abroad. I'm moving to Korea this year and I'd like to name my channel Abroad in Korea. I realize it's not very original, but would you be alright with that? If not I'll come up with a different name :)
You will have to find a Korean Natsuki
Why not sick with what you already have and call it 'Popular in Korea', 'Popular Korea' or even just start uploading under the name your already using, its not bad as it is. Hope that helps.
I'm relieved to know that. All is right with the world.
That awkward moment when Natsuki can say "Fucking" better than any other English word.
Unfortunately I didn't have a 'fucking golf Christmas' this year :(
Hardly even got out of bed, I slept most of the day lmao
I thought he said "goth Christmas" hahaha. Imagining black Christmas trees and shit.
I was really sick and nearly in hospital over Christmas & New years. Talk about shit
I feel you bro
Chris, you should do a "Best of Natsuki" video. Instant video antidepressants right there.
If Natsuki's getting one Ryotaro should get one too
now I have to watch all of these videos from 2016 haha That's amazing, you appeared on tv and in the news from UK and USA and how many people you reach with the channel. 5 years later is still a great sucess. well done!

Abroadin Japan I've been waiting too long for a new video!
Abroadin Japan what's Natsuki's twittee
Abroadin Japan we love you! keep up the good vids
Abroadin Japan I think 2017 needs more Natsuki! and maybe challenge Kinoshita Yuka to an eating challenge;)
Just keep doing more of the same shit Chris, you should just do what you want to do.
Natsuki is obviously the star of the show, but you're a pretty cool guy too.

I am from Canada and happen to appreciate your sarcastic English snooty style. You need to interview the yakuza or something.
Lightwish Light he needs to do that 100%
Justice Kuran - I mean I have seen Vice interview the Yakuza, so why can't our boy interview them also? I think it would be great!
Yeah he totally should , might even make a front page of the news if we're lucky ( well unlucky for him )
best.idea.ever

"have a fucking golf christmas" is now my favorite quote
My favorite find of 2016 was your channel. In a world of samey, mediocre people talking into cameras, you were my favorite.
Hope your new year is like a magic Chris.
This randomly showed up in my recommendations lol. Y'all look so young. How the time flies.
one thing that i havent seen from any japanese youtuber is sports, can you go to a football match, baseball etc?
Man chris broad is the funniest dude ever, thanks for always cheering me up :)
I love your videos, they're a breath of fresh air; keep up the great work! Happy new year!
Natsuki is a LEGEND!
everything natsuki says becomes a catchphrase
I found this channel 3 nights ago and I can't cope I'm fucking addicted and I should be studying for my optometry degree but I CANNOT BECAUSE THIS CHANNEL IS INCREDIBLE AND THE SARCASM SPEAKS TO ME ON ANOTHER LEVEL

Senpai, teach me how to act sarcastically charming.
It is not a talent you can learn, simply a gift you are burdened with. Can you handle the overbearing weight of such a gift that you must carry everytime you open your mouth?
Will Natsuki cut your hair this year Chris?! He is a hairdresser right?! Would make a good video!
I appreciate the commentary alongside the videos. A lot of youtubers just lazily slap together a video as a list of clips and call it a day.
You should make video about 100 yen sushi vs 100.000 yen sushi kinda stuff, to poke fun at buzzfeed
and lastly, i hope you'll gonna have a great fucking 2017
He'd have to win 10 bets before he can afford 100,000 yen sushi. And we all know how his track record is.
*Hah!* He doesn't need any of that! All he has to get is a portable (or even stationary) bunsen burner and a knife, I think you all know where I'm headed with this. . .
_1000 DEGREE KNIFE CUTS _*_insert random object of interest here_*
bobbywrtm does JPY 100k even exist? i know 3 michelin stars sushi is about 30K.
I think you are a natural comedian. The way you talk along with your English accent makes your video even more pleasing to watch.
I really did love your over the top vlog though! It was so funny how you parodied so much vlogging tropes !
honestly stumbling upon your channel was pure gold. i am planning a month long trip to Japan, and this channel has been great in introducing me to fun stuff to do and the unique quirkiness of Japanese culture. Thanks and keep the good work!
"Overexcited people in a room in America" That's just everyone over there.
ScottishCunt so true have you seen ellen degeneres show they all scream and jump . like why ??
I'm American and I can say that's pretty accurate. Honestly I don't know why though. 😅
~:~
Don’t forget the fact that we also overreact to everything if we are on some sort of reality tv show
A Girl don’t forget when middle aged american men scream at the tv like its going to make a football team play better
@@jimbones3378 You have very clearly never seen anyone of any other race watch sports lol
Nice videos Chris. I enjoy watching your channel and I am happy every time a new video comes out. Keep up the good work, the effort and the optimism.
Please never stop uploading. I'm actually in tears laughing right now
04:20 "Some people were equally disappointed I didn't try to wander through the forest and find a dead body or an abandoned tent like you're supposed to."
ROTFL
Holy SHIT did this age perfectly
For an English lesson, take Natsuki to see some Engrish signs/merchandise and ask him what he thinks it means.
I like the fact that you effortlessly covered the hard work you did behind the screen. Those editing, light and monologues are so on point. :) Plus, you seem like a genuinely nice guy.
When is Natsuki starting his youtube career?
What is your profile picture from? Or who is the artist?
Character is Momiji Inubashiri from Touhou. Taken form this image cdn.awwni.me/o54s.jpg
kazumo1 Thanks!
Love the channel, Chris! I've been having a bit of a rubbish time lately, but discovered Abroad in Japan and every single video makes me smile. Thank you for bringing a little happiness into my life during a rough spot. Cheers mate.
I actually like your humor. :) Pretty ssarcastic. Not sure if that's a common attribute of the British but yeah. Love your experience/living in Japan.
Love the channel. Not only are the videos funny but I'm enjoying learning about Japan. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I'm excited about you starting youtube full time :) Good job Chris!
I think you are a doing a brilliant job, and this is easily one if my favorite channels! Thanks for doing what you do.
Mr snuggles was the best I need to see more of him
My man, you have my endless admiration for becoming a full time RUclipsr in Japan! I love your channel and I think your videos are all great! Keep up the good work!
is natsuki your boyfriend
Elisabet Roa he's a chicken boy with two boyfriends. Natsu chan and ryo chan lol
Yes

They are in open relationship

More Natsuki!!
I came back to watch this after watching more recent videos with Natsuki and his English has improved so much!! Well done Natsuki!
"fucking golf" is gotta be a thing
Love this channel - what I would love to see more of are videos on the rich culture in Japan like their movies, books, music and theater.
I love Ms. Snuggles
All I wanna see is you and Natsuki pissing about while drunk lol
Avant Pepe his second channel! Check it out!
Yeah I've seen that lol, it's only 1 vid. We need more
I don't even remember when I subscribed to you but it's definitely been around the 2-year mark and your channel is definitely one of my favourites. Your channel is really one of a kind and I look forward to more videos this year. 👌👌🎉
do reviews on expensive fruits I heard Japan have special expansive fruits

Dear full time youtube person , I'd love to see a video about idol culture in Japan.
I love eating late night suppers while watching your videos. The best.
Never forget vacuum cleaner and "good sink"
Discovered your channel just today, I absolutely love it! cannot stop going through all your videos and watching them to the last second - awesome work dude.
'chicken boy' classic :) keep up the good work
I don't think I will ever need a Christmas or new years or whatever present again in my entire life as long as I get a video like this each year😂😂😂
Natsuki!!!!
Your soul crushing sarcasm is heart warming and helps me get a feel for Japan from a perspective i can really resonate with. Thanks for all your hard work in 2016 and best of luck in the new year.
10:00 PREACH! That was some of the best *satire* I've seen on RUclips ^^
Hello from Australia! good to see the first video of 2017. Hoping to see more of Natsuki in the future!!
Natsuki is my favorite human being ever.
Strangely, out of all of them, what made me stick around and subscribe was your video on Tsukiji fish market. That one was so professionally done and offered pretty cool insights.
Well, that and the love hotels.
I miss Mr. Snuggles.
Dude, keep showing your humour. Been a fan for years!!! Love it
facuu cleaner 😂
It's a trap! Fac- fuck-you. Fucking- creaner?!

Really good news to hear that you can do RUclips full time. Really looking forward to your videos in 2017!
Mr snuggles is definitely the best part of 2016
Thank you for entertaining us. Love your channel from the start! Greatings from Sweden!
Natsuki saved 2016, obviously - that's what I've inferred from the title and Natsuki's subsequent appearance in the first few seconds of this video.
Great channel Chris, I watch all your videos :) Keep up the good work!
Wishlist, from the top of my head:
-Something about winter in Japan
-Martial arts
-Traffic/cars
-Anime/gaming
-Crime/laws/punishment
-Maid cafe's
My new years resolution is still 1920x1200 and 1680x1050, I really want to upgrade but only if I get a hdr monitor ;)
THIS is one of my favorite videos of the year so far and past.
Absolutely love your sense of humor! Some ppl need to lighten up a bit. And fuckin Natsuki! That dude is comedic gold bruh😂😂😂
I'm a new subber but man I love your videos, kind of humor I like most...but especially when you and Natsuki are hanging out. It's just nice to see two friends taking the piss out of one another and laughing so much.
Abroad in North Korea.
Been loving the channels for a long time now Chris! Can't wait to see how the new year works out for you. All the best!
I love your channel, you make me laugh so hard lol
Natsuki is the best ahaha that vacuum cleaner joke killed me
We visited a tea farm in Shizuoka last year. We picked tea and enjoyed a very warm welcome from the tea ladies and farmers. It would make a fantastic video!!! 🌱
Are we expecting an updated video of how 2020 isn't a total disaster too?
thank you so much for putting me in your video.
Also the duo of you and natsuki is comedy gold, i swear. you two are so hilarious
Natsuki being fluent in cussing is the most relatable thing ever

Rent a girl for a date and record the experience. And obviously not the "happy ending" date.
u're right, why not :D
I'm not sure his girlfriend would appreciate it...
But Chris, don't take her to suicide forest....
I mean... personally, I'm down for adventure and even some slightly creepy, mysterious adventures. But if a first date tried to bring me to a place where tons of people have gone to end their lives... lololol😂.... No.😐 Next date maybe try something a little lighter. Bowling perhaps. Maybe an outdoor festival of any kind, a cool cafe. Save Suicide Forest for at least until you've got her heart.
...And the rest of her... not just her heart...😐😐😐😛
"Rent a girl for a date"
At least you sidestep that plaintive, "When will I see you again?"
