The fact that the sleeper train is kept in business entirely because of train nerds is the funniest and most on brand thing possible
WHOSE BRAND?
@@deenzmartin6695 Japans brand
@@8bitgubben hnnnnng
me, an american train nerds who been on a sleeper train here before: yes yes yes i need to do this IMMEDIATELY
@@graymonk5972 I mean compared to sleeper cars in the US, $200 is an absolute bargain. That said, I think I'd rather take the high speed trains to get from point A to point B,
I would watch Connor and Chris do a nature channel on trains, but is it me or is it funny watching two grown men losing sleep on a train a sight to behold🤔
2 grown brits
you're not wrong, it is funny
@@donutchan8114 3 Men on a Boat vibes, except it's 2 men
Agreed. It's like road trip vibes
@Merry Christmas a bot making fun of bots??? we having AI wars now?
i for one fucking love trains lmao. i love sleeping on trains, i actually sleep great regardless of the noise and the movement, the only thing that really pisses me off is the station announcements in the rooms at ass o’clock in the morning. even tho chris suffered, it was fun to watch the scenery and experience the train through you :)
It’s nice when you have a bed. Tried it without, sleep better on a plane ong
@@thetoyodacar2264 I only have a pretty small sample size to compare (like 4 flights and endless train rides), but I've always found trains a bit more comfy. Planes get so weirdly cold, the "scenery" isn't that spectacular after a while and (personally) I've found the sound to be less soothing than the train rattle.
I also love riding trains, and not only trains but also ships and planes and sometimes buses. Yes it can be uncomfortable but to me that experience is part of the adventure
ass oclock is my new favourite phrase to describe ungodly early hours
It's so sweet how Chris says hes not Connor's friend at the start then at 11:35 says he's collectively all of Connor's friends. Just such a loving relationship.
I wonder if Japan's confidence problem is caused by a lack of vitamin C from fruit being too expensive.
@@Giggles4692 this was so unfunny that i think my straight face muscles have cramped up.
I want a lofi loop of Connor looking out the window and having some chill beats.
Oooh, Look at you being all topical and stuff! LOL😄
Seriously though that would be kind of cool! I'm gonna kinda steal your idea, o.k? 😉
@chaduserforreal wtf is this!?
@@bstnk fuck me mate!
@@bstnkit’s stupid how many people actually fall for clicking the link, it’s obvious they’re a bot
*Does he mean **15:26**?*
Gotta love how Chris doesn't waste a single moment of screentime before he starts nagging.
Keep up the good content guys and happy holidays!!
At least he’s consistent
True lol
He is British, right?
I am japanese
I love how Connors accent is that Suave and debonair British accent you find in a James Bond film then Chris is like the classic Soccer hooligan green street accent.
14:49 As a Japanese dude, this right here made me smile. Wasn't ready for the wholesomeness out of nowhere.
Aaand we have conner complaining few minutes later lol
@@sodapop939 - Granted most of it was aimed at the train’s site.
Chris Broad and Cdawg have THE BEST lunch-time viewing content around!
As someone watching this during lunch time 👊
Literally watching during my lunch break, this is true
Not me watching this at 6:00am 💀
Me watching this at midnight 😂
FR! THIS IS SO TRUE! I'm literally having my dinner while watching this
My favorite thing is how much of a cat (tsundere) like personality Chris has in these videos. He gumbles about having to do the thing, but he seems to secretly enjoy it
Especially when it’s with Connor😆
On this particular occasion, he definitely didn't enjoy it. Look at those eyes. That is a very pissed-off person. Agree on some of the other Wacky Weekend vids though!
@@velocitasfortis This is similar to the ferry episode. He was genuinely suffering. But yea, he usually does have fun.
did you just call my man chris a tsundere bruh
@@velocitasfortis he said he was feeling quite sick too from the motion sickness too on top of being sleep deprived I would be too
this is literally that meme about 1 dude being happy on this side and the other not being happy on the other side of the bus
18:44 chris is so accurate here its scary-- theres one specific youtube channel that does these japanese sleeper train videos/travel videos and he's legit so so funny-- solo solo travel. he never talks in videos so make sure to have the captions on to really get the full thing, hes so witty and funny with it i actually subscribed. seriously, if anyone liked sleeper train videos like this i definitely recommend him.
What's the channel name?
@@aprilbaker1264solo solo travel. There's also Solo Travel and Kugas Travel
I have subscribed to that channel. Dude is freaking hilarious. He reviews flights and even US trains too.
He’s the reason I’m watching this, actually!
@@jewelstroud7191 I'm also a Solo Solo travel fan.
connor has a pretty cool voice, maybe he should try out voice acting
I don't know, he might want to use an alias til he's made a name for himself.
He could start a CZcams channel or something.
Nah I feel like he would not do it that often
Hmmm you know, your on to something there
@@Piotrek7654321 Maybe he should even start streaming on Twitch
Even if it's not so comfortable to use, I would still try it just for pure adventure and new experience 😂😀
This train is very good in terms of utility because of the schedule. Maximise the time of local's rare holidays.
Having been on sleeper trains in America, I absolutely love 'em. Sure, they can be a bit inconvenient at times, not to mention slow, but if you're just looking to relax or sleep for a while but still get yourself somewhere it really can't be beat. It's a whole vibe. Especially if you're out during the day and get to actually see things.
I can recommend you the Video of Solo Solo Travel (from which the clip was shown) about this train
It's something you gotta get used to, but once you do it can be quite comforting. To me the movement of the train relaxes me.
Just take one in europe they are better
Chris is that grandpa who's always grumpy and angry about everything, while Connor's like the grandkid trying to appease Chris🤣
Just a tip when booking this train, the booking of the train starts at exactly a month ago at 1am GMT (so if you want to travel in June 6th, the room will be avialable to book at May 6th 1am GMT). The best room will be sold out in less than one minute. It's really hard to get one (but it was worth it to me if anyone's curious)
In the beginning of the video, you triggered Chris by tapping him on the shoulder and moving it along. You guys have great chemistry
its called love
I thought the fart would trigger him
Sleep trains in general are really cool.
@@MonographicSingleheaded lmao
Yeah I love sleeper trains. But I haven't been on one for about 15 years so I imagine I would be a lot more discerning 😂
@@sketcharmslong6289 In India, every train is sleeper trains lol except metros obviously.
America has a few routes like that.
@@Manny-uf1hq Imagine Chris sleeping on an train in India. He would go nuts
What’s not to love about a train you get to sleep on, sounds like fun to me, I’ve been on train rides where you just get a seat and you’re on their for hours, my only problem is I might oversleep and miss my stop
"The Pierre de résistance" what a french king Connor is
0:26 Chris: "I'm not really your friend"
11:35 Chris: "I'm your friend!"
Chris being a friend only when it's convenient 😂
0:23 I love that every time Chris comes on screen he just has an aura of “god dammit, I have to spend time with Connor again”
Sleeper Trains are basically like that scottish Hairy Potter train. Nobody actually uses it to use it, but it stays in business by nerds who are just into that sort of thing.
The train or the bus?
@@DZ-1987 I did went onto that Jacobite Steam train XD But I actually needed to do this ride. It's just that instead of taking the normal cheaper train I took this one to have both the transport and the experience.
it's actually a pretty common thing in post soviet countries to ride sleeper trains for locals who want to spend less money and travel long distances, but of cource service is worse
I personally would love to travel on a sleeper train, as long as I had a private cabin. But I prefer old-fashioned modes of transportation. And I like trains. 🤷🏻
it's interesting that he described it as a dying form of transport in Japan as it seems to be an increasing popular option in Europe. I Wonder what could explain the difference.
I just came to the part on the prices, that would explain it.
I came into this video expecting the train to be sorta similar to the long distance and sleeper train Amtrak has here in the US. Was not expecting the train in the video was going to make Amtrak look like a platinum service.
It's definitely the shinkansen. Faster, more quiet and overall more efficient. Meanwhile we can't really get anything like that in the EU because there's tremendous difference between the train tech of different countries. Having a bullet train here would be hard.
@@matthewcron8842 really? I'm quite surprised, considering Japan generally leans more in favor of trains for long distance transport, but I guess that's more bullet trains than sleepers. What are the differences between Amtrak and this one?
@@destituteanddecadent9106 Yeah, this compared to the Amtrak sleeps and the long-distance trains(Which in the US are designated explicitly as trains that go over 750 miles, I don't know what that is in kilometers, and I accidentally deleted this comment the first time I wrote it, so I really don't want to look it up) kinda surprised me. Some differences I've seen are just how cramped and sorta dingy it was compared to Amtrak, which over the past few years has been upgrading everything, from its service to its equipment. They even just put out a thing saying that they are going to be buying a lot of new trainsets over the next few years. But some differences. First, the quality of the service just seems lacking compared to Amtrak. Like the bedrooms felt cramped, old, and uncomfortable, meanwhile, on Amtrak, the largest bedrooms can sleep up to 4 people, usually have a shower and toilet within them(Expect for roomettes), and come with a complementary meal service, and an attendant who will do a number of things, from delivering food, to even setting up the bed, and converting the room from the sorta chair and table setup it starts out with, to the sleeping arrangement. Meanwhile, the worst you can get on a long-distance or sleeper, and which is the standard for most of Amtrak is coach seating(Which depending on the train, can also come with various levels of service, and usually gives you access to the cafe car, which is where you get things like snacks, drinks, and more quickly prepared food). Meanwhile, the worst on this train was a pillow on a soft floor. And I thought that the train not really having a coach section was kinda weird.
Do these slower sleepers in Japan have a coach section on them sometimes?
Anyways, I also thought that the shower being something you had to reserver was kinda odd, since, on amtrak, the shower is in your bedroom on the train. And over all Amtrak more sells the experince rather than the transport with its sleepers and long-distance. You get to go where comfortably, with the service and the experience of riding the train with it. (Of the course the government, mainly local governments and representatives like long-distance trains more for connecting rural communities). In fact Amtrak advertises the experince on these trains more than anything else when it comes to long distance and sleepers. you get to see amazing landscapes(Some trains take multiple days to get from one terminus to the other), have a comforable time, and go to a lot of places(connects to many cities, and thruway bus can get you further, to a lot of national parks and cities outside the train's route). So yeah, I guess I was just surprised that Japan's slow sleepers, which are in a country that makes the US's passenger rail look like a model train set, are so dissapointing: old, dingy, not really all that reliable, hard to access, and with kind of poor service. Well Amtrak literally prides the experience and service you get riding on, with it being able to back it up to boot(As long as you are delayed by a freight train, or derail, that actually happened this year), it was just kind of surprising to see that Amtrak's long-distance trains were just so much better compared to this.
Basically Connor was lazy on a train for a day 😭 sounds like a dream
He’s living the dream
Here rewatching this video while i am waiting for the new one
I'm patiently waiting too ;-;
16:57 pov youre 18 in america trying to figure out how healthcare works
4:26 Oh, man, that brought back some nostalgia. I remember riding on a train that took several days to a town my dad was from to visit my grandma. Looking out the window from bed was a really pleasant experience. What wasn't fun was having to share a room with three other people. One of them was my dad, but the other two were strangers.
Yay, solo travel was quietly credited, I love their videos. It's soothing even when you're not watching them. I wonder if I'm starting to become a train otaku because of them, and now this video.
14:12 when I went to visit my family last summer in Japan they had one of those pillows and I love them so much I bought one for myself. They are sobakawa pillows, they have barley husks in them. It’s more comfortable than my memory foam pillow but it takes a while to “break the pillow in” so to speak but after the pillow became less stiff it now is wonderful on my neck
An affable man, that Chris is. He says he is not your friend-- that is because he knows he is EVERYONE'S friend. Ahh truly an all encompassing spirit, a Broad fellow indeed.
I love trains, and specially night trains. I hope they come back. I used them in Austria, germany, thailand , croacia. thanks for the video lol
one of my favourite youtuber from japan is just a guy going on a train and basically silent vlogging his whole experience. best 30 minutes ever.
Love wacky weekends on a Thursday!
thats what i was thinking lmao
I genuinely can’t believe how much I laughed at Chris walking in with that sound effect 0:23
The wacky weekend videos with chris and connor are honestly one of the things i look forward to, it always make me all smiles!
Chris is such an amazing and completely willing friend do be there at times of need with no complaining or whining of any kind. Such an amazing friend of Connor's!
Love it when Chris and Connor’s dates are uploaded to CZcams.
I am a simple man... I see "Ft. Chris"... I click. I like.
I will refer to my 90 year old grandfather as a Train Otaku for now on, thanks Connor 😆
This just makes me realize how much we need a chris and connor tv series…
Looks like an amazing trip. Also, the Chris & Connor OP is 🔥
I love videos of you two, you really bounce off each other quite well! It's fun to watch after a long day at work 🤗 I really miss riding trains. The views are always great
You're JOKING. Not only should we make Connor stripping the most watched moment, but the time stamp is 13:37
The 93%
These 2 have that kind of relationship where you just know, when all the banter is said and done. They will be at each other funerals jumping into the hole and sobbing on the coffin xD
I'd just like to say that I've been watching you since you did that blind folded League of Legends champion impressions video. It's insane to see how far you've come with your content.
This video was sick! You guys are so much fun to watch. Perfect Christmas present. Keep doing more of these. Happy Holidays!
I can't believe CZcams allowed blatant train intercourse, nice
Always love these videos and the positive energy Chris brings to the table!
LMAO
Watching Connor annoy the hell outta Chris is always a barrel of laughs - even better on a train. Wasn't disappointed.
I rate it expensive grapes/10 🍇👌
I hope wacky weekend never ends. Chris and Connor has such amazing synergy and their content is so funny.
😂 I love grumpy Chris 😂
I love your videos Connor and Chris, and your wacky weekends are pretty legendary. The train journey looks quite enjoyable to me, so I dont really get all the complaining from it. Also, if I get 3 to 4 hours sleep per night, that is quite good for me. There are many nights where I get quite less than that. Be thankful for the sleep you got on that train and in general. I really dont wish anybody to have such a bad sleep as I have.
Chris' face at the "You speak Japanese well" comment 😂 makes more sense after one of his more recent videos
I LOVE train videos and I LOVE travel Japan videos so thank you for suffering through this. If you ever do it again please more detail in the good, the bad, and the maybe okay. Love you both! Great content always
Love your vids Connor always glad to see you with Chris! Gold content! Your wacky weekends are amazing!
Something about all those train enthusiasts makes my heart really warm bc they're just there for a good time, simply enjoying the train and taking photos :')
😆, he asked the wrong person to transportation from one place to another. This is going to be a f**ked up nightmare for Chris.😎❤️❤️❤️
Solo solo travel is great. Good humor and chill relaxing videos focused on jp transportation.
Currently on break at work rn, and sleeping sounds like heaven rn, you really living the live dawg
It was nice to see and hear excited Chris was when he heard that it was travelling with Sleeper train. I actually saw this combining of trains from YT Solo Travel Japan videos. Suddenly, this train trip reminded me of old train travelling with Finnish Lättähattu, which is much older version of train. I visited one cafe, which has used this Lättähattu as cafe restaurant model. It was nice how in the end Chris was happy to visit and travel again with this train!!
Cdawgva living the Japan dream
Been binging on Japanese sleeper train vids as I plan my own trip next year so this is great timing for me
About time you made a new vid mate. Love them all ❤
Classic duo. I need more contentm
15:20 this is making me feel bad as someone who unfortunately regularly wakes up at 6 in the morning (i don’t on breaks/weekends)
Always love these whacky weekend videos 🫶can’t wait for the next one
That's some character development right there: 0:26 --> 11:37
well, one chokedawg video before sleep is not so bad after all
So nice to see Chris and Connor enjoying their time together after Chris’ win in the boxing sphere 😊
Man, just loving the glimpses of Japanese train otaku in their natural habitat in the background. Great underrated low key fandom.
18:40
People want to experience what they don't have access to in their hometown or country. Surely someone like Chris understands this considering his ENTIRE CHANNEL is dedicated to giving us a peak of what it's like living in Japan as an English speaking guy.
Living vicariously through others is essentially the entire premise of watching CZcamsrs 🤷♂
Watching Connor change into PJs in a small space is a fantastic way to start my working day here in Australia 🇦🇺
Connor giggling at “cracker” at 9:16 shows he has truly embraced his Twitch persona
Finally now I get it! I'm well late for the train... sorry but I had to go there. New to all of the connected connected channels and your stuff. Look forward to view more.
I about spit my drink out over the nature channel segment - love these wacky weekends
15:29 lofi conner uwu
never had a very brutal honest review on this train. really appreciate it and it was entertaining too!
Love the train video, you both should do more! 😂
Love your videos, Connor 😁
I would love to see these two start taking the overnight ferries as well!
Loved the video man! Keep it up
This video popping up is so random because I literally started watching Japanese train enthusiasts last week like Solo Solo Travel, Kuga Travel and At Japan and then CDawg brings this up. I'd recommend the ones I said they're actually great and relaxing to watch.
At least Connor and Chris are having fun for doing wacky weekend in this episode already
"What you see here is a fine, matured train, ready for mating season." With that voice, that was hilarious thank you sm Connor
Alight time to make a series about dragging Chris on the other sleeper trains like the Shiki-Shima
The stuff you do Connor 😂 love watching, I hope to meet you when I visit Japan!
Merry Christmas, Connor!!!!!!
Amazing Video Again, ConnorDawgVoiceActor!
Chris is right, I love these train videos, even though the actual experience expensive, bit uncomfortable and worst of all they don't give you enough sleep. But I'll watch them all day.
Amazing video on sleeping on a sleeper train,fantastic job.
I've watched so many sleeper train videos some are better then others but its not bad at all
Seeing the pure duality of Connor and Chris's views is always super entertaining.
In a time where it seems life has gone just downhill for everyone this series or Connors videos on general are a great way to brighten my day and keep myself in Reality. So if your reading thanks for this Connor and chris
love this series so damn much
guys you're making great videos! i loved every single second of it ! :-)
I love how Chris is like "This is a horrible idea" and then Connor gets him to join in anyway. He must have some masochistic streak or he just does it because he loves to complain. 😂
The best duo! Your videos together are always entertaining and never fail to make me laugh! - I "lost it" at 13:50 😂
Such a dope series
I watch wacky weekends before bed, they are surprisingly relaxing!
5:26 Ahh yes. A decent callback to "Meet the Spy". Love it lol
