Three things. 1) Yes, I probably put on a little bit of weight over Christmas (happens every year). 2) No hate mail doesn't affect me in anyway - I read it for entertainment purposes. 3) Of course I'm hugely grateful for all the positive comments I receive daily/weekly. I probably wouldn't be making videos if it wasn't for them and I wish I could give a hat or pen to everyone who has left a positive comment over the years. Just don't expect a nice comment reading video in a hurry (limited entertainment value) - that said, I'm looking at doing a monthly comment video responding to comments and questions in general! Could be jolly good fun. And above all, 4) I can't believe it but I recently discovered the secret to an unbelievably amazing source of........ah, wait, I said "three things". I'd better leave it there.

your sarcasm it's so fucking advanced

This was so provocative.

Abroad in japan: "you dont need to be afraid of rabbits" Me: has holy grail flash backs...

If Mexicano Pride is Mexican, then why are they telling others how actual Japanese people feel?

"Natsuki, do you accept me for who I am?" Natsuki (*thinking of next 10000 yen challenge against chicken boy*): "Of course, you're a nice guy..."

Lived in the U.K. for 9 years. Your sarcasm and bitterness are like a little piece of home. Cheers.

The perfume ad speaks volumes about your video making skills and about the crappiness of perfumes at the same time lol. Keep on the good work !

“Yuh mum gives me a biscuit” genius Lol!

The video starts at 09:07.

Gotta love Natsuki. Just hanging in Chris's place drinking a beer.

I love how the people who are most angry about you being white in Japan aren't Japanese

Best response to being called a weaboo: "What's a weaboo?"

I was thinking, wow, chris looks damn good for a 43 year old, and then he finished the sentence

I wasn't scared of clowns ... until now

PATHETIC!

Im a Japanese and I accept you! Almost Japanese would do the same things I think.

“Turn Back Where You From Never Back Here,” coming to a Theater near you.

"Your mom gives me a biscut." I died. You are so funny😂😂😃

I love the “Go fuck yourself” bit from Natsuki that he puts in all the time😭😂😂

This video made me laugh so hard in class. Thanks for letting my crush notice me

I fucking hope you end up like John Lennon. Blessed with an adoring Japanese bride and a family to call your own. 😘

That clip of natsuki is priceless 🤣

I laughed so hard. I don’t care what the haters say; you’re funny as hell.

Natsuki's "Go Fuck Yourself" kills me every time. Unstoppable giggles.

You should consider making a shirt that looks all deep and poetic that says the "turn back where you from never back here" comment. Would be pretty hilarious.

Hey Chris, I only discovered your *informative* and *extremely fun* videos (and podcast!) recently as doing research on Japan. I’ll be visiting (for my first time) Tokyo and Hokkaido in June/July 2019 - 40 years in the making! I absolutely LOVE your videos. I think they’re brilliantly done and I sometimes read comments from others; I say to all those jealous haters out there. Fuck ‘em! Keep doing what your doing and I hope you continue these videos and podcasts as they’re quite entertaining and I’ve learned so much. I feel I’m prepped for Japan, yet, I know I’ll be gobsmacked and probably hit with that “culture shock” everyone keeps warning me about. Cheers mate! From Abbotsford, BC Gregory Ould

Dude, the “you’re provocative” commercial was a hit!! You should try and sell it to Calvin Klein or Armani hahaha Love you mate, you’re the very best!!!

I would buy provocative right now

I personally enjoy his videos and look forward to the uploads. There's disgusting, horrible bullies of people no matter where you go, even if you make phenomenal content. People hate to see the talent they lack in other people.

1:53 Well this has aged excellent Isn't that fishmonger now prime minister? xD

This is still hilarious. I've watched this several times haha the voices Chris puts on for the hate mail is top notch lol

i love the level of savageness and burns ripping on "rabbitphobia" that was awsome!

"go fuck yourself" finisher by Natsuki is on point :D

ああ笑った笑った愉快痛快。 悪口なんか屁とも思わず小馬鹿にしていくスタイル大好きです！ 私には１日の終わりにふと笑うことが必要なので、毎日見つけ次第どんどん過去動画を貪っています。 いつもありがとう！

“Provocative” aftershave ad is fucking amazing!

".... not only are you named after a guy who built a really good boat" I love you so much.

"Turn back where youre from...never back here." Fuuuuck thats deep

Watching all your videos over again and this one has literally made my morning 100% better. Keep doing you, you wonderful human.

And here I thought I was going to get a cute clown on the screen. Chris: * proceeds to show the scariest clown* Me: 💀

9:50 "no matter what you do or what you say you will always offend someone somewhere in the world for reasons you couldn't possibly comprehend" WORDS OF WISDOM RIGHT THERE!

Have you not seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail!?!?! Rabbits are terrifying!!! Also... if you hadn't seen it hand in your brit card...

6:30 first I went back to check if the plush cat moved when you got up, then I went back several times to see that stop motion of the plush moving. really loved that detail =^-^= Thank you for all the great content over the years!

I wasn't afraid of clowns before this video, but I might be now 😂

is this 'Broad reads hate mail' thing gonna become an annual special?

I just came back to the video to watch the "You are provocative" advert again. Made me lol hard.

This is THE funniest video I've seen on KZfaq. The way you take their own posts and turn them against them is absolutely amazing. Not to mention the amount of sarcasm used is sublime. Thank you, this was the laughter I needed today.

I love your videos, how you present yourself and your drive to keep doing you. Thanks for all the entertaining bits and information you present in all your videos. I hope to fly over to Japan in a few years so I'm soaking up all the information I can get. Thanks for all your time spent and hard work hours to make these videos happen!

Morning coffee? Check. Hate mail video from AbroadinJapan? Check. Its gonna be a lovely morning boys.

here's a sentence i didn't think i'd ever say: listening to you reading hate mail was so incredibly soothing. you have a very nice voice.

Absolutely love these, I’ve watched these on repeat for the humor. Please make this a regular series!

I haven’t laughed out loud in a long time and I literally laughed out loud at the perfume ad. I love your videos and your humor!

The Piano Slam sound effects are my favorite part. 🖑🎹💥

The "provocative" part, was pure gold!

“Every time I pull a bitchy smug face...your mom gives me a biscuit.” I about died laughing

Every few months I come back to these videos. They have a special place in my heart.

"Cow is a good animal" is now in my quote bank and I will use it every day forever.

love how you turn hate mail in something delightful and entertaining

Absolutely love your videos and sense of humor. These Hate Mail ones make me laugh the hardest. The way you handle some of the comments is fantastic.

For all that it’s worth, I find your videos really informative yet amusing. This is why I subscribed to your channel. You and your videos are so inviting after a long day being a nurse, sometimes it’s nice just to kick back and have a giggle whilst learning about another culture.

That 'Mexicano Pride' comment really riled me up, I think almost everyone is extremely self conscious, I'm always worried about the way people think of me. One of the main reasons as to why I'm stopping myself from moving to Japan is because I'm so worried about acceptance. I find that I depend on other people perhaps more than I should and if I moved to Japan I would have nobody to turn to. I would feel really horrible if people would judge me or see me as an outcast. Chris I think you are so brave to speak English in front of all of these Japanese people because if I were you I would worry about them thinking I'm another dumb tourist or somehow thinking I'm inferior to them. I know the majority of Japanese people don't think this way but this is just the way my mind works. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say here.... I believe you are a very brave and confident person (not to mention that your humor is the best thing since sliced bread) so thanks for bringing a bit of Japanese culture into my inevitably mundane British lifestyle. Cheers :)

The worst part about these videos is that some people try to purposely get in them. Yet, I can undoubtedly say, the payoff is the best. Have you thought about becoming a headsman, Chris? 'Cause damn, you *executed* these people. XD

I was literally in tears xD this is one of the best videos in youtube... and I've seen them all

7:25 this was too sarcastic, you might accidentally trick your trolls into thinking it's true

I lost it at "You are provocative", haha. This vid made my hangover slightly less painful, cheers!

As an Australian, your British sense of humour is too entertaining. Never stop haha!

"Its either a cow that learned to speak or a very angry guy somewhere in India" Okay that made me laugh🤣

Chris sarcams cure my depression 🤣😂 I hope for more of this. I ALWAYS WATCH THOSE 3 VIDS ABOUT HATE MAIL WHENEVER I'M UNDER THE WEATHER

i'm so liking the stuff cat in the background :D and how it moves around and stares at the camera XD

"Hey Natsuki." "Yeah?" "Do you accept me? Like as a person." "Yeah." "Really?" "Yeah. You're a nice guy." "Great, thanks." Lmao, that was so simple, yet it had me laughing for like a minute.

What a gem! I like your sense of humour. Please keep the videos on hate mail coming!

I love your videos and your creative spin on them! They are educational while being entertaining and interesting. Thanks to you, I've learned a bit more Japanese than before. Currently I know around 80% of Hiragana which is not bad, but still need to learn Katakana and get started on Elementary Kanji and work my way up. Of course I'm not studying it everyday, but it's nice to learn and absorb the information about culture, places in Japan, footage of personal adventures including with friends and the various breathtaking scenery and landmarks captured. btw Natski is a National Treasure.

I care more about your hate mail than your Japan vlogs nowadays

7:12 maybe some people go to Japan or wherever simply because they want to go to Japan. I wouldn't care if Japanese people don't accept me as JAPANESE, I mean - I'm not. I'm Bulgarian, that's where I'm from, who I am. I wouldn't care if they don't view me as Japanese (since I'm not), I just want to live together nicely. These people are so friendly and hospitable, what more do you want? Seriously people, find your identity in something else and not in nationality. P.S. I'm not resided in Japan. Planning to in a few years. But I've still got an opinion, deal with it.

That lowercase comment had me gasping for air. That was fucking brilliant!

I've really enjoyed your videos. I'm planning of visiting Tokyo in the future and found the various ones on do's and don'ts etc very informative and funny. Thanks.

Never thought anything would make me laugh this hard again. Your whole style is charming, candid, sophisticated, and always relatable. Thanks for all you do! Signed, Grateful American

I just realised that this is the show I've been waiting for. It's about a cynical, sarcastic British guy in Japan burning people for revenge. And, yes, that did sound more medieval than intended.

Hi Chris, I really enjoy watching your videos. They are put together really well. Can't imagine how much effort it must take to edit the footage with all the nice sound effects and very nice narrative! I think that you are really talented!!

I think you are really amazing! You had the courage and went to Japan and started a successful career and mastered the language and the culture! Keep it up you are amazing and you inspire me

"43 year old trapped in a 26 year old's body" how do people come to the conclusion that he's 43 years old out of that comment? Not trying to be mean or anything just don't understand peoples thinking sometimes.

I actually love this type of video *because of* the dumbass comments! 2:35 and the voice he puts on to read them is too funny ^^

Hi Chris my only regret for your videos is I didn't discover you sooner. Your subject material is always fun and I learn something. The chemistry with your guests and regular contributors has really made you a professional production and keeps getting better. It would be easier to recommend you to more people with less swear words though, otherwise your absolutely brilliant keep it up.

Your videos are the best!!!!!! Never been in Japan, good grab on reality, funny, instructive!!! Keep em coming! Gretting From Guayaquil Ecuador!!!

"Dementor with a youtube channel" Instant like

The insult would be to NOT eat the cow meat, from the cow, who was clearly already dead. That would be an insult, because the cow died in vain, and it is wasteful. Eat the cow, Chris. Eat. The. Cow.

I lost it at the after shave advert! It was like something you'd expect from a big name company, really well put together!

The clown part genuinely cured me xD now they serve their purpose, making me laugh my ass off. Thank you, Chris. You are a LeGeNd.

I like your Hate Mail videos, please continue making it in the future. But first you need to get more hate mails. Great day.

Your sarcasm makes hate mail fun.

Always on the right track. Keep up the good work and you're very good at what you do. I enjoy your videos very much!

Lol you are actually hilarious, started out just watching videos about possibly moving to Japan as a foreigner. Nek minnit it's two in the morning and I'm laughing my ass off. Love the British sense of humor as a British immigrant currently in New Zealand.

British comedy at its finest, fucking love it mate.

Mexicano Pride's comment disgusts me.

9:57 I'm deeply touched, Chris-chan.

Love your videos and have been watching you for years! Love your sarcasm. Haters will hate and be turds everytime. Love how you counter the trolls of the internet!

The clown is now art. Thank you ❤ I have been cured

you know Chris i was having a conversation with a friend the other day. your name came up is the reason im posting this here. the conversation topic was on killing 3 famous people without consequence for their impeccable voices . i chose Josh Groban, Morgan Freeman, and you, :D but its all hypothetical, but i thought i would just let you know. lol :D

recently i started learning japanese. you are one of the reasons i genuinly started and enjoying learning the language. Thank you so much

If it makes you feel better, you are one if my favorite KZfaqrs and i always enjoy your videos! ^^
