      Also I haven't been watching Chris' videos for that long (although apparently I hadn't subscribed yet, oops XD), but so far I really enjoyed his videos that mention his experience with teaching in Japan as it's something I've been considering doing in the future.

    So, Ryotaro successfully managed to pull off a reverse-weeaboo: watched foreign media portraying high school life and went there to experience it. - the one thing every single starry-eyed kid, who wants to go sit to the back of the class next to the window in Japan, gets sternly discouraged from doing.

    Another great video Ryotaro 👍
    I still have a strong Japanese accent and struggle with certain English words.
    I can write it really good but my tongue just wont work 😅😅
    I have picked up a lot of Scottish slang words which really freaks people out when they hear Scottish slang in a strong Japanese accent.
    Cant wait for more vids from you👍👍

    You've got a really crazy traveling background! I hope I'll get the chance to even see half the places you've been to.
    On the constructive side though, for your video, be sure to check the sound levels when you're mixing things together, I don't know how in depth you're going with this, or what editing software you use, but there was a moment at 00:48 where the fanfare audio was really loud, and it did drown out your voice. Beyond that I think it was a well put together video!
    Hope to see your next video soon, Ryotaro, Thanks for sharing a bit of your history with us!

Watching videos such as yours and many others helps me feel at home again. Keep up the great work, Ryotaro! Stay safe and healthy!

    Ryotaro. In Singapore we don’t use “lah” when asking question. The term “lah” come from Malay which is use as polite command, hence pergi lah ! (Just Go!) is translate as ‘go Lah!’ How ever in Singapore it is widely users at the end of sentence for emphasis ‘I don’t know Lah!’ (I just don’t know)

    Yo Ryotaro, love the content. If you are looking to grow the channel/Japanese content you should definitely start a patreon etc where you do put out language content.
    I'm Australian and have been learning Japanese seriously for about 18 months and find there's a big lack of native Japanese speakers with good English comprehension especially when it comes to speaking 'natural' Japanese.
    I'm sure there would be a lot of people other than myself who would be interested in paying for this type of content.

    I just subbed to your channel with Akiusha video. I was always impressed with your English.
    As I'm also A Japanese living in the US for 46 years and while every japanese person I meet
    (they live in US as well) compliment me on my pronunciation of english as japanese native.
    So I've been there like you have gone though..
    Now I know why you have an impeccable ability to utilize english and with more british accents
    than any english speaking natives outside of UK.
    Yes, L, R, TH, F/V all Japanese have trouble with as they don't exist in our language. it took a couple
    of years for me to get about 80% of what I hear and say 50% of what I want to express.
    You're my hero with your smarts and ability to communicate so so well .
    Looking forward to watch more vids from you. Take care & stay safe.
