We need a new Journey Across Japan! I know it's not easy but we love it. Also please make a video on Japanese Horror stuff. Love your videos. Wish you a best of luck.
Just watched Chris' old video in his small old apartment with the kitchen in the room itself. He sure has grown a lot as a person and a channel both. The new studio looks so good.
Yet I'm 32 and his very first Japanese apartment looks better than my current place lmao, and he was only like 21 or so at the time. Chris got it good.
I watch 20 minutes, then I leave. I come back to this video and watch another 20 minutes and leave to do something else again. This is an ongoing cycle and seeing how this video is 3 hours long I have a long way to go. Enjoying the video Chris!
I love that Chris's "talking Japanese" voice is an anime old man. I remember when I was learning, I was warned to be careful that I don't start talking "too feminine" because the teacher was a woman, so clearly Chris's teacher was Ero-sennin from Naruto.
I think Chris looks good in this video. Also, my parents live about 20 minutes from Zion National Park in Utah. So I have been loads of times. Walking in "the narrows" trail is awesome!
My boyfriend introduced me to you and the whole gang and I absolutely became fascinated with all y’all’s content. You’re by far my favorite though 👀 don’t tell the others (not like they’re bothered) lmao 🤣 Our weekends now constitute of sitting on our couch and making sure we watch any videos we’ve missed throughout the week together. Seen your older stuff and caught up with the newest releases. So hyped for your new studio, congratulations!
the fire effects at 21:35 is all fun and games until the neighbour calls the fire department Then Chris would have to explain how the technology of 2021 got him evicted
Virtually every English teacher/professor believes that they are an amazing author/playwright/film writer ... This English teacher may just actually be the exception ... Have genuine talent ... And be decidedly successful. Blessings!
macarons are actually italian. they were introduced to france by catherine di medici's chef during the renaissance and their popularity blew up in france
Bering makes decent watches. Very affordable. Keeps decent time usually. They use sapphire crystal domes. Quartz is usually used on the interior for keeping timed movement.
Finally there's someone else who doesn't like Asahi but quite likes Sapporo! I get funny looks when I go out for Japanese food and order Sapporo when everyone else orders Asahi. Asahi reminds me of Tennants (if you come to Scotland avoid it, ugh!). Speaking of alcohol though you should bring Natsuki to Scotland do a tour round some of the distilleries, microbreweries etc! BTW I hated my 20s, liking my 30s so far, but maybe that's only because I'm antisocial with a fear of flying and most of my 30s have been during the pandemic!
This is so fun! Can't wait to watch more of these. The studio is beautiful, that light blue color looks really nice on you, and I really want some of those buttery soy chips to go along with my evening beverages. Thanks for hanging out with us!
The fact that I remembered your favorite drink "lemon sour" from the mere fact that you and Connor bought like fifty of them on your hotel adventures explains a lot. I'm a new subscriber btw.
Chris is having too much fun in his new studio and I love it - the set look sleek. Congratulations on reaching this milestone, I hope I can catch the next stream live! 😎
watching Chris watch Abroad in Japan is really fun! It’s like a sneak peak into another dimension of B r o a d . Just love love love your videos!! so clever, even the old ones, I laugh every time. I studied film myself and am mesmerised by how good you’ve gotten. And it’s so exciting to think how much you’ve still got hidden up your sleeves!
Blue is a great color for you, Chris. You look amazing! Your snack/drinks game is sublime btw. I really miss the Japanese snacks, especially pocky with matcha.
Late to the party but congratulations dude! I remember watching your videos years and years ago when I was a fresh little kidlet out of high school and now I'm almost thirty (dear god), can't believe the awesome production quality of your videos from the humble beginnings in your apartment. You're literally the only travel vlogger I'll watch (there's just something about watching Brits travel around that just works, right? An Idiot Abroad, Travels with my Father. I think it's the begrudging pessimism). Already been to Japan a couple years back after being inspired by your vids and loved it. If I ever go again would love to cheers over a G&T.
Just incredible what you have accomplished!! SUPER CONGRATS to you and living the dream. Your hard work and dedication over all these years has really paid off. YOU DID what so many others have talked about doing but never had the grit or dedication to do it. Wonderfully done 🍻
Its his award for Best Guest in Trash Taste Awardw czcams.com/video/3aM1rVv2T3o/video.html the big w czcams.com/video/jFIKDHetyFw/video.html when he received the award
Hey Chris, it was nice seeing you today. I was working and had to pause every now and again, but it was nice seeing you “almost” live. Have a good morning!
The way to success is basically the opposite of how Chris started. Chris started just making personal vlogs about his personal new experience living in Japan. A very fortunate era to get into youtube vlogging I must say. I sort of wish things had stayed that way. They were much better times imho. At least in my life. It's a comfier time. I remember in his first video or so, he was complaining about the bird outside his apartment lol.
He mentions theres no shower and the kitchen is tiny so I'm assuming it's probably not as pricey as an apartment with full amenities. But that's just my guess!
There's a great New Orleans restaurant close to Shinsaibashi, Osaka. It's called Bistro New Orleans run by CC (see see) who is the friendliest guy ever. You should check it out next time you're down there.
I love your channel, its scary to think that I discovered your channel when I was expecting my eldest boy and he is 7 in 10 days! We both enjoy watching your journey videos with your "mini missions" as he calls them from the catcha pon man. 31 is not such a terrible age our 30ths would have been through lock down and "didn't exist" I say I'm 29 plus 2 haha
Every time as an American I go drinking with Brits in Japan, it never ends well. BE WARNED, hahaha. You'll end up doing karaoke till 6am, have the best time of your life, and then pay the price for several days after 😂
I have just begun to watch your content and seen a good chunk to know your old places. In just a short time am infatuated with your journey just prior and am excited for what's to come with this quality. Thank you.
It's amazing being able to follow your career. Your channel has helped me find the motivation to learn Japanese and move to Japan myself! I love your videos keep it up!
Hey, Chris! I really wish you weren’t so self critical and hard on yourself! You are the one and only person on CZcams who I come on this site for and I’ve listened to your podcasts with Pete since the very start and it’s what I look forward to twice a week as well as your videos. I’m the very worst for self-deprecating myself so I really have no room to tell others not to do the same but I love everything you do and so do many, many other people. So please be kinder towards yourself 🙂 Sending best wishes from Scotland 😊
Watching this a month after the live stream. Have taken to talking to you at the screen. “Melbourne “ “Teal!” “Grape!….Kiwi fruit?!? Idjits! GRAPE!!! “Eat the sandwich!” The reason? World wide audience has probably seen Japanese fruit videos. A lot of us haven’t been to Japan. Explain what I’m missing! And you’ve just opened the cider… this may take me a few sessions to watch…who does 3 hour streams? In all fairness, you’re looking fit, your hair looks great and I’ve watched your 2 studio reveal videos earlier today. I am thrilled that so much hard work over many many CZcamsr years has paid off in such an amazing way. I hope this new stage brings you much happiness, satisfaction and success. I think I might do another comment as I work my way through this video tome. xx Y
Love the new studio, been a long-time fan and a student of your recommended GoGo Nihon. Unfortunate I missed the stream but a hard Japanese phrase I find saying fast is モデルとかやってた. A great pickup line for every situation suggested to me by 神 herself (え。。。かわいい。。。モデルとかやってた [say last part extremely fast]).
I put this on thinking it was just going to be in the background, but this was too entertaining to not pay attention. Should’ve gone with the fire bit Chris 😂
Twisted fire starter at 21:54 🍻
And miss out on the intro? Never!
We need a new Journey Across Japan!
I know it's not easy but we love it. Also please make a video on Japanese Horror stuff.
Love your videos. Wish you a best of luck.
Waiting for a concerned neighbour to phone the fire department
Why the fuck are you still awake?! Lmao
That's an extra 21 minutes 54 seconds that I get to have you talking in my ear while I study like a mad man
as much as this dude deprecates himself, he's legitimately a great host, presenter, and filmmaker. it's great to see this kind of success.
and he doesn't even like the presenting part that much, that's one of the amazing parts
He really is.
I think being self critical is what makes some one great, he never lets any of it get to his head, tries to stay humble, and always tries to improve.
@@Tomahawkist_ I guess thats what roughly 10 years of work do with you, even if you don't like it too much you improve a ton :D
@@Tomahawkist_ it's just incredible!!
Just watched Chris' old video in his small old apartment with the kitchen in the room itself. He sure has grown a lot as a person and a channel both. The new studio looks so good.
I thought this was a fat joke
@@yoimsecond lmao🤣🤣💀
Do you know if this new studio also has accommodations for him to live? Or he still has a seperate appartment for living?
Yet I'm 32 and his very first Japanese apartment looks better than my current place lmao, and he was only like 21 or so at the time. Chris got it good.
7
Chris should definitely strap a gopro on that mario kart and drive around the new studio
Haha I’ve always wanted to do this
Honey I Shrunk The Chris
Well done Dave from Japan
I love how Chris’s shirt matches the shirt that much larger Chris is wearing in the background picture 😂👍🏽
What larger Chris? I see no difference.
thats in fact a smaller Chris in the background
Your whole journey is like a light novel "I came to Japan to become a english teacher and then I made videos and became successful"
"And then I became a famous CZcamsr!"
I'll watch the anime
Title checks out
Can't wait for the live action movie
@@Moonastronaut BTC - Big Teacher Chris: Slice of life / School / Comedy / Food / Reverse Harem (Natsuki , Risotoro , Joey , etc...)
I'm glad he is considering streaming on YT instead of twitch, it's a lot nicer to have everything in one single place
I watch 20 minutes, then I leave. I come back to this video and watch another 20 minutes and leave to do something else again. This is an ongoing cycle and seeing how this video is 3 hours long I have a long way to go. Enjoying the video Chris!
Doing the same :D
Same but with 15 mins
thats how i do it too ! :D
I watch an hour, do 10 mins worth of work, another hour of YT, 10 mins of work and so on … and don’t hit any of my targets in life very often
Leaving is fine, so long as you come back ….. that’s the main thing 😁👍
I love that Chris's "talking Japanese" voice is an anime old man. I remember when I was learning, I was warned to be careful that I don't start talking "too feminine" because the teacher was a woman, so clearly Chris's teacher was Ero-sennin from Naruto.
Didn't realize I've been watching for three hours. Time sure flies when you're having fun
Can't believe I watched a man drink and stumble over his words for 3 hours
LMAO, despite knowing this, why am I about to do the same????
I’ve watched 35 minutes and it’s not especially funny, does it get better?!
@@FriedEggsWithChips blasphemy
@@superghoul9323 lol
That'll be this weird thing called Charisma. Dude has bags of it. The lucky bastard.
1:31:55 Chris finding out about furries is the funniest thing ever 😂
That’s when Chris needs Pete Donaldson. He knows everything about internet subcultures.
Yeah, he needs to discover this unique side of the internet
I gotta say Chris really looks fit and healthy. Looks like hes really doing a good job.
I think Chris looks good in this video. Also, my parents live about 20 minutes from Zion National Park in Utah. So I have been loads of times. Walking in "the narrows" trail is awesome!
You lucky rascal
@@ChrisAbroad if you ever make it to the states you could hit up Las Vegas strip and Zion National park. It is about 2 hours away from one another.
I've never seen anyone who enjoys Too much volcano as much as Chris.
I'd love to see Chris learn how to cook. Bless his food selection is literally like an 18 year olds Uni diet...
I would honestly watch Chris chill for hours if he starts streaming regularly.
My boyfriend introduced me to you and the whole gang and I absolutely became fascinated with all y’all’s content.
You’re by far my favorite though 👀 don’t tell the others (not like they’re bothered) lmao 🤣
Our weekends now constitute of sitting on our couch and making sure we watch any videos we’ve missed throughout the week together.
Seen your older stuff and caught up with the newest releases. So hyped for your new studio, congratulations!
DEFINITELY one of the nicest comments I've ever read on CZcams!! 🙇
the fire effects at 21:35 is all fun and games until the neighbour calls the fire department
Then Chris would have to explain how the technology of 2021 got him evicted

I've literally followed this guy since I was in high school now he is relatable af. Cheers to you Chris!
As an Australian. Hundreds and Thousands (Sprinkles) in/on bread is an acceptable sweet sandwich which shall never be criticised.
Chris getting hyped about his own video is so adorable 2:07:50
Do you know what the name of the song is?
@@TheDragonaf1 Shin Suzuma - Ikebana
Abroad in a Pan should be you emerging from a giant loaf of bread! Because Pan is Japanese for bread!
There is something adorable about that... This is just the kind of thing you'd see on Japanese TV, too. 😆
Bering makes decent watches. Very affordable. Keeps decent time usually. They use sapphire crystal domes. Quartz is usually used on the interior for keeping timed movement.
Finally there's someone else who doesn't like Asahi but quite likes Sapporo! I get funny looks when I go out for Japanese food and order Sapporo when everyone else orders Asahi. Asahi reminds me of Tennants (if you come to Scotland avoid it, ugh!). Speaking of alcohol though you should bring Natsuki to Scotland do a tour round some of the distilleries, microbreweries etc! BTW I hated my 20s, liking my 30s so far, but maybe that's only because I'm antisocial with a fear of flying and most of my 30s have been during the pandemic!
Sapporo over Asahi any day!
Both are brewed with adjuncts, so I avoid them. Kirin Ichiban is 100% malts. Just so you know.
Early 20's and currently feel like I'm going through a mid-life crisis 20 years too early.
You are funny and if you are Scottish I already like you! Never met a Scottish person I didn’t like! 😁
I always find it ironic that homeless Scots drink Tennants.
This is so fun! Can't wait to watch more of these. The studio is beautiful, that light blue color looks really nice on you, and I really want some of those buttery soy chips to go along with my evening beverages. Thanks for hanging out with us!
The new studio looks great ,congratulations. You went from the Harry Potter broom closet to a much deserved and well earned studio. Cheers
The fact that I remembered your favorite drink "lemon sour" from the mere fact that you and Connor bought like fifty of them on your hotel adventures explains a lot. I'm a new subscriber btw.
The fact that chris thinks that tokyo fury community is about people who likes foxes tho 😭 never change, mr chad in japan.
24:53 that 8 bit cover version is too damn good!
At 0:16 , the bottle cap opening sound perfectly complements the music
Here from the future, the studio never burns down, but it does get shaken like a baby
Different studio , same humour. As a fellow Brit I enjoy your channel and glad to see fame hasn't changed you.
Chris is having too much fun in his new studio and I love it - the set look sleek.
Congratulations on reaching this milestone, I hope I can catch the next stream live! 😎

Chris my man glad to see you healthy and kickin!
Your studio looks great Chris. Hope to see more of it in future videos.
You're so handsome Chris!!! Congrats on the new studio : D
Outside of the whole "youtube personality" you really seems to be a cool guy to hang around. Love the humor too. Cheers to you... with a Dr. jelly.
Blue is a great color for you, Chris. You look amazing!
Your snack/drinks game is sublime btw. I really miss the Japanese snacks, especially pocky with matcha.
The new space is so cool! Nice lighting, really cool. My husband and I love your channel thank you so much for all the work you put into the videos!

Here from Colorado USA, the studio looks amazing! I've been enjoying watching your videos and growth Chris!
Thank u Chris for taking the time to listen to my remix :) Have a wonderful day!
How could I miss my favorite youtubers new podcast. Keep up the good work, Chris Broad
I'm Russian and watch your videos largely for your sense of humour :)
Glad you figured everything since yesterday Chris, top notch as always
Studio space is airy and serene btw
Is always fun to watch Chris downfall to alcoholism in the stream upload.
"Is it 8 grams of protein, no its 8 grams of sugar."
A moment that defines Chris
Wait.... he framed the comic strip with the fat Chris in the elevator?! :'D I can't stop laughing. Well played :'D

Hey Chris, it was nice seeing you today. I was working and had to pause every now and again, but it was nice seeing you “almost” live. Have a good morning!
I've just found myself singing 'A.S.O. Too much volcano' whilst getting ready for night shift. Bloody ear worms. Congratulations.
Awesome new crib! Look forward to seeing more content from you all the way in South Africa ❤️😇
Results of hard work 😇👍🏾
humblest and hardest working person on CZcams!!!
So excited for you and your crew, and for us who watch your channel, too. The new Abroad in Japan studio is a gift for all of us!
After many years you're still my favorite CZcamsr I will continue following whatever you do as long as I can.
Of all the Chris in entertainment, Broad is probably my favourite Chris. Love the personality and content!
The way to success is basically the opposite of how Chris started. Chris started just making personal vlogs about his personal new experience living in Japan.

I remember in his first video or so, he was complaining about the bird outside his apartment lol.
So glad that you're not filming in a bin bag in a cupboard in your wardrobe in a pile of socks! This looks infinitely better!
Say, did Chris rent a studio that is actually bigger and nicer than his own appartment? XD
I wonder how much having such a nice studio would cost
I wonder if he could just live in the studio
Its a tax write off at least
A pile of socks
He mentions theres no shower and the kitchen is tiny so I'm assuming it's probably not as pricey as an apartment with full amenities. But that's just my guess!
I love your nervous energy in this live stream. You're clearly excited about the new space. It looks great. Looking forward to future vids here 👏.
I do enjoy watching Chris get drunk and ramble on about random shit. Good stuff!
love how everybody just wants to drink with Chris, i can relate
What's up . Congrats to moving to Tokyo and your new book I'm gonna read soon.have a awesome summer
Been a fan since 2016. I'm so happy to see how far your channel has come. You've invested so much into your work and it really shows. Congrats to you!
Podcast really is a perfect match for your somewhat improvisational style.
Missed out on the stream , just binge watching it now >congrats on the studio , looks better than trash tastes set honestly
There's a great New Orleans restaurant close to Shinsaibashi, Osaka. It's called Bistro New Orleans run by CC (see see) who is the friendliest guy ever.
You should check it out next time you're down there.
A great new image.cant get back to Japan at the moment so you make it easy for me.
New studio's looking mint from what we've seen so far. Hyped to see what new opportunities this'll bring in the future.
I love your channel, its scary to think that I discovered your channel when I was expecting my eldest boy and he is 7 in 10 days! We both enjoy watching your journey videos with your "mini missions" as he calls them from the catcha pon man. 31 is not such a terrible age our 30ths would have been through lock down and "didn't exist" I say I'm 29 plus 2 haha
Congratulations Chris! The new place is doing wonders! Hope to see more of Japan through your lens
couldn't watch this live but I wouldn't miss it! love your content Chris! You and Connor seem like you'd be fun people to go to a pub with!
Every time as an American I go drinking with Brits in Japan, it never ends well. BE WARNED, hahaha. You'll end up doing karaoke till 6am, have the best time of your life, and then pay the price for several days after 😂
I would recommend adding a noise gate and compressor in the future unless you already have future Chris
missed the live show but watching from New York USA. very fancy...you've made it!!
I'm 100% expecting him to pan the camera over and show us Joey and the boys filming an episode of Trash Taste in the other part of the studio.
I have just begun to watch your content and seen a good chunk to know your old places. In just a short time am infatuated with your journey just prior and am excited for what's to come with this quality. Thank you.
Normally watching from Norway, but today from OXFORD UK!! 😊
Sadly I was still at work when the stream started. Now I have to watch it after it ended ffs. Well time for a drink, Whiskey
It's amazing being able to follow your career. Your channel has helped me find the motivation to learn Japanese and move to Japan myself! I love your videos keep it up!

this man is one my of inspiration for hard work, consistency and never giving up.

Watching this a month after the live stream. Have taken to talking to you at the screen.
“Melbourne “
“Teal!”
“Grape!….Kiwi fruit?!? Idjits! GRAPE!!!
“Eat the sandwich!” The reason? World wide audience has probably seen Japanese fruit videos. A lot of us haven’t been to Japan. Explain what I’m missing!
