✨jazz is like cigars✨

Time to take some notes! Thanks for the upload as always, boss!

Natsuki "struggling" to turn off the tap when filling Chris' glass was so funny. I love that man

I'm an American that was lucky enough to spend two months in Tokyo for work. Almost every night I ventured out and went from bar to bar up until I knew the trains would stop so I could get back to my hotel. That was over 17 years ago and I still think about it to this day. Some of the best bars could only serve 5-6 people at a time due to capacity. Some just had standing tables with no chairs and served things like chicken neck on skewers (I still remember the man trying to explain to me it was chicken neck). Some were extremely fancy. Some had girls there that would sit and talk to you if you bought them expensive drinks (I learned how to avoid those). Everywhere I went in Tokyo I always felt safe and always felt welcome. I will never forget it.

Chris, Natsuki, alcohol, bars and karaoke- there never has been a combination more perfect!

Natsuki singing Head Cha-La is the absolute peak.

As luck would have it, this video came out while we were in Japan, and we managed to visit La France. An utterly wonderful bar, and the barman was not only extremely kind and an absolute gent, but fantastic at his job to boot. The fruit cocktails were to die for, and his selection of whiskeys was mindblowing. He was very complimentary about 'Chris-san' as well!

After 10 years of wishing and working I finally managed to afford a ten day holiday to Japan with my two teenage boys who are just as obsessed as me about the country ! I finally get to put all these videos to use ! ❤😊

20:47 had to sneak in Too Much Volcano 😂

The amount of insane quality documentaries this channel is pumping out is insane right now.

The fruit cocktail bartender seems really passionate. Its refreshing.

Since leaving Japan in 2022 after eight phenomenal years living and working there, I haven't watched Abroad In Japan. Now back in London, I can't tell you how great it is to see Chris killing it with over 3 million subscribers. I used to love watching Chris's adventures and growth as a man and YouTuber whilst living there. Gotta to admit, missing life there sooooo much. Thanks for the memories, buddy. UK rules in Japan!!!!!

12:06 "Strawberry is die.....thank you forever"

Natsuki has just the right vocal range for Cha-La Head Cha-La. Good to know.

I absolutely love the sociocultural aspects of his videos. It’s not just glamorized for clicks. It’s real and it’s raw.

I've found walking into a tiny little bar to be so intimidating in Japan. There is nowhere to hide. Sometimes there are just four seats.

Natsuki and Chris back at it again. Always love you two together.

Natsuki singing Cha-La Head Cha-La had me in stitches 🤣

Hey Chris, you may not see this but I finally pulled off an epic 11 day journey up north bringing my two elderly parents along. We went Tokyo -> Sendai (Matsushima Bay) -> Geibikei/Hiraizumi -> Aomori/Hirosaki -> Hakodate -> Noboribetsu -> Lake Toya -> Otaru/Sapporo. It was incredible and i personally really loved Aomori City, I would not have even considered a trip across Tohoku if not for your Journey Across Japan
