Hey guys,
I hope you’ve all had a great week so far!
As you can see from the screen grab above from the all new video “6 Life Lessons I Learned in Japan”, we have an incredible, elaborate premium pyrotechnics display to look forward to. Seemingly no expense was spared....

WE DID IT GUYS!
Almost 6 years to the week the Abroad in Japan channel began, we've hit the jackpot! (Also, in the same week we hit 100m views as well). 2018-08-25 05:50:43 +0000 UTC View Post
AS I WRITE THIS WE STAND ON THE BRINK OF 1M SUBSCRIBERS.
And by this weekend - providing nothing catastrophic occurs - we should be amongst the exclusive 1M club.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about it; I’ve actually been too busy working on this week’s Podc...

Hey guys
I hope you’re all having a great weekend!
So having hit the 6 year mark of living in Japan, I’ve started to feel a tad reflective recently. I guess that’s the reason the next upcoming video is somewhat ominously titled “How Long Will I Stay in ...

This is the first time in recent years that I’ve actually remembered that today is the anniversary of my arrival in Japan.
And so I feel compelled to write something, given that I’ll inevitably forget it again next year and thereafter.
I want to avoid trying to sound pretentious fo...
Hey guys!
I hope you've all had a great week so far.
So this Saturday 28th (10pm Japan time), we'll be holding the live Q&A for July - come along with a drink and bring your questions, stories, comments and criticisms and I'm all ears!
Well that didn’t take long.
My third attempt flying the drone and I crashed it into a tree at 35mph.
It fell 100ft to the ground, landing in a pile of foliage.
Between myself and several friends, it took 15 minutes to locate it - and amusingly whilst we were scourin...

And so it begins!
The new video is finally out, revealing the diabolical upcoming journey across Japan by bicycle (that most of you have known about for three months).
So first off, I feel a mixture of exhilaration and dread; exhilaration that people will n...
Well guys, it’s done.
I finally bought a drone.
I can’t really understand why I gave in after all the time (and complaining about how much I hate drones). Perhaps it was the realisation that unlike most vloggers in Japan who live in Tokyo (and thus c...

The Patreon exclusive video is now up!

Hey guys,
I hope you’ve all had a great week so far.
SO you might have heard that this week we had a bit of an earthquake over here, in the form of a magnitude 6 quake in the Kansai region - the largest to this Osaka since the 1995 earthquake that killed 6,000 people....
Hey guys!
I hope you're all having a fine week so far and are looking forward to the weekend.
This Sunday (24th) we'll be holding the June hangout, where I'll be sitting down with you all to answer your questions and discuss the month's news from across Japan; from this week...
Hey guys,
I hope you’re all having a great weekend!
I write this from a speeding Shinkansen heading from Tokyo to Nagoya, en route to the Japanese Alps, where I’ll be meeting Natsuki tomorrow to film a video about Pachinko.
Long ha...

Hey guys!
So this week we've got a special Ask Abroad Live, on Saturday 2nd June (22:00 Japan time).
Natsuki: The Movie has just dropped finally and instead of doing May's Ask Abroad live stream last weekend, instead I thought it'd be more fun to do it THIS week...
Oh my god, we did it!
I'm free! Freeeeee!
On a serious note guys, a huge thanks for making this happen. At last we can finally give Natsuki the screen time he deserves and see his life behind the scenes (as well as all the crazy stuff in Europe).
At the...
THIS IS IT GUYS!
There's an actual release date for Natsuki: The Movie!

Hey guys,
Hope you're having a cracking weekend!
Just to let you know there's a new video out this weekend and a new podcast.
Daiso is Japan's best loved 100 yen store. But what can you get for your money? We were tasked with turning our friend ...
Hey guys,
So this month's live show will be on Saturday at 22:00 Japan time!
For this edition I thought I'd regale some experiences of my favourite travels around Japan, as typically it's around April a lot of people start planning their trav...
Hey guys,

New Patreon vlog is now up (above)! This time I'm going in depth on how I make the most of my phone when taking photos for social media (particularly Instagram) with tips/advice I hope you'll find useful in getting the mos...
Hey guys!
I hope you're all having a splendid weekend, wherever you may be in the big wide world!
So in this week's vlog we have a celebrity shout out, a depressing tale and a month of unrelenting content.
Rather than talk about it all, pleas...
Hey guys!
So it's time for TAKE 2, following on from the disastrous half hour earlier this month when the internet screwed us in Tokyo.
This month's live show will take place in the usual location (my apartment) so it'll be all good - there won't be any Natsuki, al...
Hey guys!
So "Operation Ridiculous Amounts of Content" is now in full swing!
This week alone we have three videos (two of which have been released), a new Podcast episode on Wednesday discussing about Love Hotels and a Patreon V...
Hey guys,
Very quickly - we've changed the date of the live show by one day, from Monday 5th to Tuesday 6th (same time).
This is because Natsuk and I managed to get into a ridiculous restaurant to film in today for an upcoming video (our next food sequel to the monster...
Hey guys,
It's time for the return of a man who hasn't graced our screens for a couple of months now, but who's making a large scale return next week.
That's right, Natsuki's back! And for one hour he's all yours to question and interrogate relentl...

WHAT A BOLD TITLE. Being "back".
It's not as if I really went away.
Actually that's not true - I was in the UK for a bit.
Hey guys!
I hope you're having a great week so far.
So weekly Patreon vlogs are now back on aft...
Hey guys!
