Hey guys!
I hope you've all had a wonderful week thus far!
I'm going to give you a proper update on everything in this week's upcoming PATREON VLOG.
While you wait, we've got the latest episode of the Abroad in Japan Podcast to keep you company on your morning commutes, afternoon jogs and cold winters nights.
(Unless you live in the southern...
Hey guys!
So here it is, our first pilot episode for the Abroad in Japan Podcast! It was a lot of fun to make and something I've been wanting to do for years now.
The only problem was I didn't know anything about Podcasts, and I needed a decent co-presenter to make it work; with that in mind we've got one of London's top radio DJ's - award winning Podcaster and self ...
Hey guys,
I hope you've all had a great week so far!
I'll be brief as I'm flying in a minute - in a plane, not magically of my own accord (although the superhero research continues...)
In this week's vlog I discuss the upcoming podcasts, being on Japanese TV (along with a clip of the segment), Natsuki: The Movie and an experimental upcoming video.
Hey guys!
So I'm pleased to announce our first live show of 2018 will be on Sunday 21st January at 10pm Japan time!
I'll be answering your questions, talking about the game plan for 2018 and discussing your New Year's resolutions. (Inevitably, we'll probably talk about Logan Paul briefly as well).
You can send in you questions and le...

Hello everyone and welcome to Friday!
I hope your 2018 has been going well so far!
So today, I come to you with the first Patreon vlog of the year (above) - generally filled with good news and even another bonus clip from Natsuki: The Movie, in the form of the opening scene/montage.
I say generally good, because it's not all good - unfortunately, the i...

Hello everyone and welcome to 2018!
First off I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year! May your wildest dreams come true in 2018! (Within reason).
I'm looking forward to making this another year packed full of videos and sarcasm, with larger scale projects and forays into producing documentary style videos, short films, and also experimentin...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
I hope Santa Claus brings you all the toys and chocolate you desire tonight - I'll shortly be heading to bed in state of childlike excitement awaiting his arrival.
In today's Patreon vlog, I discuss Natsuki: The Movie and where things are, as well as share a clip from the film - where Natsuki takes the decision to go to Europe and draws u...
Hey folks!
So here it is! The last live show of the year and this time we're being joined by Natsuki himself, answering your questions and sharing our thoughts on the events of 2017 (whilst probably drinking some form of alcohol along the way no doubt).
It'll be on Wednesday 27th December and before the show, be sure to send in your questi...
Hey folks!
I hope you've all had a great week so far and are enjoying the holiday season. Christmas is almost upon us and the snow has started piling up outside here in north Japan, making it feel like I'm in some kind of Christmas movie (thankfully not Die Hard).
In the UK I don't think I ever enjoyed a white christmas in 27 years, and yet here in n...
Hey folks!
It's time for "THROWBACK FRIDAY", where every week l introduce a video from the Abroad in Japan channel from years ago, that you've probably never heard of, and talk a bit about it from a behind the scenes perspective.
This week: 2014's Japanese thoughts on British Snacks video, where Natsuki made his debut by ...

Hey guys!
I hope you've all had a good start to the week so far, and are enjoying the start of the holiday season!
In today's vlog as well as talking a bit about the recent videos and what to expect later this week, I also look ahead into 2018 and talk about what kind of things I hope the year will bring. (I'd like to say I looked into my crystal ball, but in...
Hey guys!
I hope you're having a great week so far!
Today saw the release of a new video: "Day in My Life | Living in Japan"
After 5 years I finally caved in and made a “Day in my life" video; from waking up and having a shower, to riding a bullet train and being on Japanese TV. Discover my greatest weakness, what I eat for breakfast every m...
It's time for "THROWBACK THURSDAY", where every week l introduce a video from the Abroad in Japan channel from years ago, that you've probably never heard of, and talk a bit about it from a behind the scenes perspective.
This week; 2015's original Hate Mail video! A video that'll always hold a special place in my heart. After all, it's not everyday you're able to monetise ha...

Hey guys,
I hope you're having a great week so far!
So the results are in and the most popular date and time (by a reasonable margin) was this Saturday 2nd December at 22:00 JST.
Given that this is technically November's live show, it won't be the last of the year; we'll be having another one in December and I'm currently trying to get Natsuki on boa...
Hey guys!
I hope you've all had a great week so far!
In this week's vlog I discuss the recent trip to film a couple of videos, the outcome of last week's speech to the high school students, whether or not I'll get a drone, and a weird turn of events that may or may not be a big deal later this week!
As well as th...
What a disastrous evening.
Hey guys!
So I planned on hosting our second live show of the month tonight, but it seems the bad weather has brought down (or greatly reduced) the capability of the internet where I'm staying; I'm currently filming in Hokkaido for another video and the hotel internet is just a disaster.
For example, I made a two minute vi...

Hey folks!
The new Patreon vlog is here available to watch or to listen to (via audio download)!
I have to apologise in advance as the audio quality isn't up to scratch at some points in the video - I'm still familiarising myself with the new camera, but it shouldn't happen again now that I know what I'm doing.
So below you'll find a list of the vario...

Hey guys!
I hope you've all had a great start to the week so far!
So while I've already talked to you all about what's been going on with Natsuki: the Movie for quite a few weeks now, I felt the need to let everyone on Youtube know what was going on! It was also the perfect opportunity to announce the merchandise store finally - which again, you've all known about for quite a...
Hey guys,
I hope you've all had a great week so far!
I apologise for the radio silence over the last few days; I went down to Tokyo to film this latest video and I've been frantically editing it ever since. I've actually been planning on making this video for 3 years and somehow something has always stopped me.
Last year I filmed up all the observ...
Hey folks!
Just a quick reminder for tomorrow's live show at 22:00 Japan time!
As I mentioned before this will be the first of two live shows this month and I'm looking forward to sitting down, catching up with you all and answering any questions you might have that I can help with!
You can send in your questions here before the show: ...
Hey guys,
Hope you're having a good start to the week so far!
Just a quick tip I wanted to mention for those of you studying and practicing your Japanese.
Nearly all Abroad in Japan videos over the last 18 months actually have Japanese subtitles on (done professionally by a native Japanese speaker). As a result, surprisingly, it means the videos are really great way...

Hey guys!
So I'd hoped to do this month's live show (October edition) this weekend; however I'm currently on the road filming and the hotel I'm staying in doesn't have good enough internet to live stream. There's a serious risk the quality wouldn't be up to scratch and the last thing I want is to let a bad quality stream ruin our monthly get together. We've had a go...
Well hello there everyone!
First off, I hope you've all had a great weekend wherever you may be in the world.
So last week you sent in your questions to Natsuki and you can now check out his response in the vlog, complete with a surprise Backstreet Boys rendition that undeniably steals the show! (Video above and podcast audio version below)

Hey guys,

There's a new vlog/podcast out tomorrow for you all, but before then, over the next few days I'd like to submit your questions to Natsuki for another Q&A style session (like we did with Ryotaro last week).
Send your questions and requests at the form below and I'll interrogate him when I s...
Hey guys!
I hope you've all had a great week so far.
SO I'd literally just finished filming the new Patreon vlog (above) a couple of hours ago, and the new video about demonetisation was doing fine - AND THEN one hour it got demonetised AGAIN, making it the third video in a row to get demonetised.

Hey guys,
I hope you've all had a fantastic week so far!
So for this week's Patreon vlog, we had a Q&A with Ryotaro, with questions sent in by you all, enabling us to shed some light on the mysterious character with a British accent, who frequently pops up in the videos!
Also! This week for the first time, as well as being able to watch the...
Hey folks,
I hope you all had a spectacular weekend!
So the new Sapporo video is finally up - apologies for this video being a few days late. It took a bit longer to edit than I'd anticipated and I spent an extra day stabilizing a lot of the footage, which helped boost the production quality of the video overall! (Hopefully you'll see the differen...
