*THE JOURNEY CONTINUES!*
It's a whodunnit in today's episode as we slowly but surely uncover the mystery of the ruined windscreen. Was it an accident - or something more sinister? (And don't worry, I don't hold it against the culprit).
We're joined by Joey for three episodes and in typical fashion, while Connor gets dragged off to an island to experience the ice age and Sharla is forced to ruin her voice box with impressions of Emma Bunton, Joey gets to eat an apple pie and build a 1980's bar from scratch. Still, our unsettling and weird accommodation cancels out some of the fun.
Myself and the team have spent the week working hard on these last five episodes to release throughout January and bring the series to a close - a preview of which you'll find tucked in at the end of the episode! Thank you for your patience though guys; it was important for everyone working on this to have a Christmas/New Year's holiday, which is why things slowed down. But we've been back editing like mad (and waiting to clear certain 80's songs in this video) and we're excited to wrap up the last leg of the epic journey alongside Joey and Pete. Enjoy the episode!
greg
hey chris
Cannot wait to see them! Congrats!
New video 🎉
100% it's the wellington boot that did the scratches to the windscreen
I love this series "British man driving Fridge with wheels across North of Japan".
😂😂😂
This carn't be unseen XD.
I love that fridge it's great
IT DOES RESEMBLE A REFRIGERATOR! I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. I NEVER THOUGHT VANDALISM HAPPENED THAT MUCH IN JAPAN EITHER. AND FOR OUR HOST AND HIS CUTE LITTLE REFRIGERATOR TO BE KEYED IS SO DISHEARTENING. THE JAPANESE PEOPLE AREN'T AS NICE AS I THOUGHT. NO THANK YOU TO ANY FUTURE VISITS THANKS TO THIS BEHAVIOR AND THAT MEANS NO BOOST TO ANY ECONOMY TO JAPAN THANKS AGAIN TO THESE HOODLUMS.
@@BIANCHI1984 are you trying to say that just because I like to be a Pirate? So you don't mention the other gens?
I love how Joey is treated as the favourite child in these videos
Connor tortured, Joey pampered.
@@elvisg7 garnt:
Lmao and I think Chris just confirmed it by the ❤️ from him
taken for garnted @@Deez834
I wonder if Garnt and Chris don’t get on.
I like the fact that when Connor bought the pig Chris wasn't really into it but now it seems like it became his favorite thing in car, always scarying the new guests.
Character development
that's Cdog effect
Scaring*
What makes me laugh is everyone he shocks with it has never seen these dog toys b4 😅
came to say just this. love it. lol
I love how Mr. Pig was the most nonsensical thing for your car, but now is the cheerful crucible that every passenger has to pass through. I might do something similar 😂
Piggy jump scares for all!
Yeah, Mr. Pig for the win!
They mascot for this season
the pork rindes surpreme
I was about to comment this.
I guess you could safely call it a «key-car» from now on :)
Hello I am happy to inform you, you are officially a dad!
Ingenious
@@AbroadinJapan but hey, if it makes feel any better; someone stole the rear windshield wiper arm from my car last year.
On the same week as my birthday.
I still haven’t replaced it.
Edit: spacing for dramatic effect
@@Jojoen1Films They apparently need it more than you did. Could've left a $10, or something, tho. Jeez 🙄
😂
Badump Tss.
The shot of Chris and Joey outside the van talking. While the van shaking behind them had me dying 😂
lil sus if you ask me
If this Bar-V's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'... Cuz we're passed out drunk and won't hear you...
Timestamp?
@@SJ9511113:10
With the sound of an oinking pig, all a bit David Cameron
Not gonna lie, wasn’t expecting to get rickrolled in an abroad in japan video
Ah, there it is, someone noticed.
11:15 T-SHIRT ALERT! This is perfect for merch. "Abroad in Japan: It's Genuinely Moderately Impressive"
This whole video is just Chris's way on Rickrolling us, godspeed Chris 😂
Love seeing the crew get some attention
They're all so funny!
@@esclave29 fockin fonney!!
Connor is watching Joey and Chris complaining about sleeping in a bed under a thick comforter with a roof, walls, and some semblance of climate control… and is plotting a Journey Across Tasmania, on foot, in July for just those two!
joey is a excellent travel partner ! knowledgeable and he meshes well with you, his evolution as a youtube producer has been a fun ride!
He doesn't scratch up my beloved car either!
I miss Connors incessant bitching.
@@RicoImp3 There always has to be the protagonist in every story! lol!!
knowledgeable... idk...
Mr Pig is my favorite new detective - thanks for chauffeuring him around, able assistants!
4:28 I knew I recognized that cafe somewhere. It is the same cafe from the anime Flying Witch, where the ghost girl was serving the witches, the fox and such.
YES! I thought the exact same thing when I saw it! I was like, that house is so familiar. Then when I saw them sitting inside in that sun room dining area, I remembered that anime. Wow. I'm going to have to rewatch it now. 😄
I think Chris was a bit too harsh on the snack bar hotel. I can see why he might of seen it as creepy/sad that all of those snack bars had to end up as hotel rooms, but rooms/beds themselves look very clean and cozy, especially compared to some of the love hotels they've been too.
More importantly, I think it effectively brings into perspective that certain forms of leisure weren't really made to last. Joey even said that he didn't prefer the currently operational snack bars, as they seem "sketchy" and "un-inviting". The hotel is really neat, as it is acting as a sort of livable museum for how people used to enjoy their off time, while simultaneously providing a needed service in current day. It's a rare win-win situation in today's world.
The beds were great! I think if somebody is travelling north Japan and arrives there’s though after a long journey they wouldn’t be too happy. I actually think the place has good potential though! With a few changes the whole concept would be awesome
Might have*
The challenge this episode is awesome cause everyone got to have fun! The car getting scratched also lead to the theme of the bar so... lol. It just makes the second half kinda sad cause you see all of the closed up bars there with no people but you can imagine how lively they must've at least been with the little party in the rv earlier.
The series is about to end! I'm kinda sad about that, too. Watching JaJ had always been something fun to look forward to.
Yeah it was sad to wander the corridor and think of all the good times folks would have had up there. I guess it's great they found a use for it, though it could be better without too much effort!
@@AbroadinJapan it would be great to also rent the space as a film set. If they would then allow them to decorate the rooms with furniture.
Like some could function like a small shop. others back as a bar. yet others with some work could look as a home from the outside.
I like how Joey has taken to Mr Pig 😂
It's honestly his new favourite thing.
4:26 This cafe is shown in manga and anime series Flying Witch by Ishizuka Chihiro. The story takes place in Tsugaru Region. It's a really good and comfy iyashikei series combined with "traditional" magic instead of a flashy ones.
You know what to buy Ryotaro for next Christmas- a 100 yen windscreen ice scrapper from daiso 😂. This journey has been fantastic. Nice to see Buta San adding to the humour.
Ryotoro definitely caused those scratches. I took snow from the side of the road to clean my windshield not thinking that there were tiny rocks in the snow. Drove around with those scratches for about six years.
Yep, absolutely. Hardened glass is actually harder than steel, and definitely more than brass, which is what most keys are made from.
Must have been a sharp pebble of sand that stuck to the boot.
OK Ryotoro was brain dead using a boot! Chris, an auto glass shop can polish those scratches out for a lot less than replacing the windshield. But then again we don't know yet the fate of the Micra....
The snack bar hotel definitely felt like a liminal space. Don't think I'd get much sleep in such a creepy room...
i do think that the snack bar hotel would be a great film location. that hallway just ask to be used as a set.
I think that place was far spookier than the haunted ryokan. It's the emptiness of something that should be busy and the disjointed atmosphere of the rooms that aren't quite right, when put together it's extremely creepy.
Much less creepy if it was full of people using that communal space, presumably. Like a hostel or dorm.
Man, the things people find creepy.
I love seeing these wholesome moments with the whole crew. Even if they are contractually obliged ;)
Seriously though, watching the camaraderie of everyone in the bar-v was such a joy to watch.
Honestly the snack bar hotel would be really rad if they just lit it up with warm lights and not poorly lit white office space lighting. As well as themed the rooms as like different snack bars.
Yeah. Totally. They really could have had fun, especially if they could have saved some of the fittings / objects from the original shops.
Dear god the cut to "this isn't wacky weekend, this is wacky shit" at 5:41 has me in tears. It's so good. The timing, the editing, top tier
When ryotaro replaced your windshield, make sure it's the one with the polarized upper part so it can actually cut down on that sun shine staring in on you while driving
Chris: I don't know if I want people to be bitter, it's supposed to be fun
Also Chris: You could shoot Ryotoro in the face with a bow and arrow
I love that Connor bought that pig and abandoned it in the car, and Joey immediately adopted it the second he got on the show.
Chris sitting idle while the quest and the team are doing all the hard work is so on brand for this journey. Well done Joey for such a great decoration.
For scratches you can use wind shield resin, it would make it look like new. But don't tell that to Ryotora and ask a free weekend getaway package in his vacation house as replacement cost.
The close-up of Mr. Pig in his Santa hat is just wonderful. As, of course, is the entire episode, the entire series. Thanks, everyone, for all of your hard work! But the biggest kudos go to Connor, for bringing Mr. Pig into the series!
That van looks sooo cozy! It could honestly be a good idea for Japan considering they already have pretty compact and cool bars over there.
I honestly didn't realise this series wasn't over! What a nice surprise!
they are kinda very much behind on editing
@@zavtparticles6828 Think the idea was 21 episodes? This was 13 or 14, depending if the shopping for the car counts.
@@zavtparticles6828crazy with him Having like 4 editors
@@Nightykk I thought it was 21 days, 21 episodes, excluding car shopping
@@zavtparticles6828 no theyre not. they decided not to post because the adrevenue in the first half of january sucks. they probably have all the videos finished ages ago
I missed having these videos so much, I’m glad they’re back 😊 also baRV was so clever lol
We call that a Bradford parking ticket where I'm from. Don't know why anyone would do that there though.
EDIT: Ryotaro Terrorism was the culprit
Ryotaro and Wellington boot. In winter time it is usually good to have scrapers in the car 🙂Northern Japan reminds so much about Finland. It is also snow time here.
The vengeful swine plot twist for this episode has to be one of my favourite challenges y'all have fulfilled yet... The Ryotaro target game, omfg. 🎯🤣🤣💀💀
Chris holding that umbrella is the most British thing I've ever seen! Love this fun episode with Joey.😂 Looking forward to the next one!
Don't care how long these episodes take to come out, this channel is one of the last that I don't use the forward arrow or x2 on. Thanks for the videos!
I loved the transformation of the RV to a BarV! 😂
You've made suffering through COVID a bit more bearable.
On December 30th I rushed home from celebrating Christmas with my family for the first time in 5 years (I couldn't get away for so long due to either a snow storm or being unwell) and I was looking forward to spending New Years Eve with a really lovely friend who's from the UK and is very affable. I managed to avoid COVID for so long so I should be thankful that I lost my sense of taste and smell because I lost weight.
Cheers to the JAJ team🎉👏🏼
You have my sympathies. I got it for the first time a few days before Christmas and it stayed for two weeks. So I didn't get to have my Christmas until weeks later. Which was nice, but not the same. I'm still trying to catch up. My symptoms weren't bad thankfully, but the timing could barely have been worse.
With the bar. I feel like there was a missed opportunity to stock it with jelly shots and called it "Dr Jelly's". 😆 Too on the nose perhaps.
Really fun episode.
I get a kind of morbid curiosity when it comes to abandoned Japanese buildings and towns. It has a real sadness to it that really adds to the weird mood surrounding them.
all of you are so creative, starting from the theme of the bar to the design and decoration
Oh wow, I almost thought we had seen the last of this series. But glad it's still on 😊
Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas/New Years break!
After this we've got four more episodes! (Check out the preview at the end)
yeahhh chris sama.
love from the uk@@AbroadinJapan
Easy fix for your back windshield: Spread clear nail polish into the scratch using the polish applicator brush. Allow the polish to dry for a couple of hours in order to fill in any scratches in the glass. Return to the scratch and wipe away any clear nail polish with a lightly dampened microfiber towel dipped in nail polish remover or acetone
100% this. There are other products that will removed scratches from windshields as well. This windshield doesn't need to be replaced at all.
While waiting for the next episode I went and watched bikeride across Japan for the 1st time. I'm glad you aren't falling apart for this drive.
I never realized Chris uploads so late for people watching from Japan. Hello from Sapporo Chris ⭐️
Isn’t it like 1 am in Japan?
@@SchwarzNatsumi Yes. But I work late! 😅
"I'm contractually obliged to say" killed me. Turning an RV into a bar. Brilliant. The snack bar is better than a tent. Connor deserves better.
And we can see Joey's lucky fortune smile upon him once again with the fun quest and the apple pie! The accomodation is not that bad actually so I think he is still pretty lucky ! I'm sure Connor is still quite jealous . The logo for the Ye Olde Vengeful Swine is brillant! lol, could see this for a real little pub ! By the way Chris, I just finished reading your book and I enjoyed it through and through. I didn't realize until then that I almost catch your channel from the beginning! how amazing is this! I'm really happy to have followed you since your little 1 room appartment , you made some brilliant videos and great documentaries. Thank you for sharing your passion with all of us. And wishing you a Happy New Year full of adventures and friends!
Finally 🙏
A new video.
Happy New Year Chris and Sharla and the whole crew ❤
At last! Feel my life has been on hold waiting for the continuation of this immensely important cultural event. Such a relief.
Oh you went to Fujita Garden's cafe! Ever since it showed up in my favorite manga/anime, "Flying Witch", I've always wanted to go there!
It's a beautiful place! Wish we had more time to wander the gardens. Hirosaki is super underrated.
@@AbroadinJapan I really want to go to this area for sure, Aomori seems like such a nice place to visit.
Glad to see the videos are back. Hope to see more like this series in the future!
Bought your book the other day almost finished it - been a great read so far!
I definitely need to visit Japan myself!
i must say this one is one of my favorite videos you have done it is full of fun, witty humor, and overall fricken hilarious thank you for this one man XD
I love how Japan finds a way to repurpose unused building space instead of abandoning it or tearing it down. It's a little creepy but yet interesting. I would stay there . If you're in a place that has snow maybe an ice/snow scraper for the car would be a good idea. Cool mobile bar but you need loud music with a lot of bass. If the RV's a rocking don't come a knocking.
Thank you Chris! Your videos are always a delight to watch
it's actually a lot of fun getting to see the rest of the crew do stuff during these. it can sometimes feel a bit cold knowing there's just an unseen off-camera team in the trenches while everyone else is seemingly having all the fun. im sure they have a good time too regardless of if they're on camera or not it's just yeah fun to see the whole crew having fun sometimes. great video as always!
Welcome Joey! You can always expect the show to somehow get even better when Joey is on
The rock is just more proof of the adage "never assume malice where incompetence will do."
18:46 it's weird, I keep hearing that song in truck commercials now
11:47 I love how a Tesco bag for life made it all the way to Northern Japan 😁
My car got keyed too a month ago. Idk what people think to gain from that 😅 its absolutely disgusting behaviour
Damn man that sucks! I hope it wasn't a trusted friend with a wellington boot for you either.
Jealous pricks.
The anime man is always good with cameras. Such a treat. Also the editing durring the creepy hotel was spot on.
I can’t get enough of you and abroad in Japan. Love this and can’t wait to be back in Japan in September
I LOVE this Series and the Channel So much!!
"I don't want any Johnny Somalli's in my bar" made me laugh harder than it should have lol
If you don't at one point call it a BAR-V I'ma be really disappointed at the missed opportunity!
EDIT: YES! _Somebody_ said it!
Your videos are always so fun to watch great job Chris and Joey best wishes to you both
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Joey always being pampered while Conner is always getting the short end of the stick is what makes these videos even better than they already are 😂❤
Geez I was just worried something happened to you guys because of the earthquake I’m just so glad you guys are okay
What a great pleasure watching your channel, Chris! I love Japan, I read and watch about it a lot, and one day I hope I'll be able to go there! Your channel definitely gives me a lot of great ideas about what to do AND NOT DO there. Thank you for all your hard work! Now I'll go and binge-watch some more of your videos hehe
YAAAAY FINALLY A NEW VIDEO, loved the video, thank you for todays video
I might have to join pete in importing a car, i actually love the look of a kei car and i can imagine the looks my car obsessed neighbours would give me 😂😂
Love how chris thought connor's pig was a terrible idea only for everyone else and even chris end up loving it 😂😂
Oh yessss we're back! Your videos are my favorite way to relax after a hard day
“Bratapfel” (backed Appel) is a German Christmas dish. It has a filling where the seeds used to be. And it is also comes straight out of the oven and is served with vanilla sauce or ice like seen in the video.
Ryotaro's a menace, Chris has to do something about that guy
Ah! Yes, Jerry the Animation Man. So good for him to come back in his roll as Joey the Anime Man. So good to see him in this episode.
Edit: It was the boot that scratched the window. 😆
This was the most fun episode so far, couldn't stop smiling the whole way through. Great work to everyone working on getting this series out!
"This is genuinely moderately impressive" is amazing. I will use this whenever i have an average experience in the future
The crew is so funny lol
Chris that looks like an apple dumpling that my wife's family makes. They also make a brandy sauce that goes along with it that is a family secret. Delicious when served warm with vanilla ice creak or lots of whipped cream.
I completely missed the "that" on a first read and thought you were going for a specific dig on Chris that the rest of us didn't have context for.
I think you can have them scratches polished out of the glass. There are compounds for that. Should be an easy fix. :)
no wonder Chris loves this ca: it´s nice and snug and you can come close to your passengers - only cuddling would bring them even closer to you. but at least you can keep each other warm while driving in this winter "wonderland".
4:38 In Germany those baked apples are commonly filled with a mix of jam, brown sugar, sultanas, and sometimes marzipan.
They’re so good!
Im glad that everyone working on this got a good christmas and new years without having to worry about work.
That being said i still find it funny how the promise of daily uploads never comes to reality haha, but im not complaining, thanks for the high quality videos 🤙🏼
Genuinely curious: What did Connor do to you to always get the "shit"/"struggling" Abroad In Japan episodes? (I.E. the recent island where you, Natsuki, & Connor nearly froze to death on a private island)
Whereas Joey always gets the "Luxurious" episodes 🤣.
Not to say that both people haven't been in really incredible projects; Connor has seen some princess treatment too so to speak (five star hotels, incredible foods, exclusive travel, etc.)
Is it just the "Angry British man despises treatment that isn't posh" humor effect, or like an inside joke kinda situation as really close friends?
Connor loves to complain, so we give him the tools to unleash his inner Welshman.
That being said the camping was a ton of fun! Crappy sleeping bags aside, we all had a blast off camera.
When doesn't Connor complain?@@AbroadinJapan
@@AbroadinJapan I think that if Joey was put in the sort of situations Connor is put in , it wouldn't be half as much fun because it seems to me that Joey just adapts.
@AbroadinJapan please treat your boyfriend better
@@AbroadinJapan Is that the English in you tormenting the Welsh in Connor?
The Bar-V scene filled me with actual joy lol. That was so fun to watch and im high-key jealous
Thank you for another educational/entertaining video.
Neat to see how Hirosaki has changed since 2009 when I was a student at Hirosaki Daigaku. Wish you had stopped off at Hirosaki-Jo, and the Shrine near Iwaki-san. It’s so truly beautiful in the snow. Thanks for showcasing Aomori, there are so many hidden gems in the prefecture, especially the Snow festival and Nebuta, Neputa, and Tachineputa.
I hate having to wait for the episodes to come out but when they do, I always know that they’ll be bangers 🎉🍻
Looks like you guys are having an incredible journey. The "Ye Old Vengeful Swine" transformation was oddly impressive!
LMAO the van rocking as soon as they close the rear door. That was subtle but great. Well done team if that was improvised.
Excellent video!!!! That room doesn't look too bad tbh, but that's probably the depression talkin 😂
you know its a nice relaxing trip when its joey and not connor
Have to say that the soundmix is absolutely brilliant!
Ryotaro up to his old tricks again. Great episode, one of my favourites of the series so far.
To be fair Joey did have to stay overnight on the floor of a haunted prison. I think that balances things out quite a bit.
I knew it was Ryotaro ever since I read the title!
Yes! New video! Been waiting for this lesss goooooo
You can tell he really loves sharla. That voice crack when talking about her in the beginning ❤
