The 2 types of people in the world: Emma: "Personally a bit disappointing" Meanwhile Chris: "SHIT"

"Shinjuku is where I like", seems like the spirit of Natsuki is presenet everywhere

Man, it would be crazy if Chris did a crossover episode with AbroadInJapan sometime I wonder how that would go

This is one of the more "interesting" videos published so far. The questions were great, but the depth of their responses and their detailed discussion was informative as well as entertaining. Even on questions where I already knew their preference, I learned something new. Well done everyone!

"Shinjuku is where I like." Do I sense another shirt design coming?

Chris my boy lookin SLIM

Men and women can be friends without the constant comments that you want them to hook up. Stop being weirdos.

Im surprised nobody's talked about how their skin and the background are the exact same color🤧🤧

I like that Natsuki get credited in the description

Looking good Chris! I'm glad to see you taking the bike trip seriously. Keep going you can do it!

I'm so in love with Emma's shark shirt!!!

7:35 lol chris has beem in japan for so lomg now that he is starting to talk engrish as well lel

the topic of the "magical feeling" really is why i still have trouble deciding to move to japan. japan has always been this place in my mind where its food i'll never get tired of, people that dont treat others like garbage, the amazing culture and "togetherness" that society has. its hard to describe other than "magical feeling", i've vacationed to japan every few years and i always have the same feeling like "it'd be great to live here" but i'm afraid that living in japan would eventually kill off that feeling and it'll just revert to a normal everyday life

5:27 OMG look how Chris writes on the board XD its somehow really satisfying

Comments are as entertaining as the video. 1. “I ship them” 30% 2. “So disrespectful to ship them” 30% 3. “The pink background is.......” 30% 4. Discussion of video content 10%

This was a really cool video. I liked it very much.

Big fan of these with Chris, I feel like you guys answer questions that I never even think about and they are really helpful because I plan to go to Japan next year

I love this combo emma chris and his crew

Wow, I really enjoyed this! This for all your background knowledge and experience, guys!

More Emma/Chris videos, please! They are a great combo.

I love seeing you both interacting with each other.

This was really fun AND informative - yay! (I'm a big fan of both Emma and Chris and it was so nice to listen to them talk about Japan in this way :).

I think they both hit the nail on the head about the Japanese achool system preparing the students for life in Japan. From all the videos I've watched, it seems whenever you ask a japanese person to do something unusual or different from what they're told to do or instructed to do at work, they become anxious or have to ask a lot of supervisors for "help." I'm picking up that many in the Japanese workforce do what they're told and are not to differentiate from it. It's like they're not allowed to think for themselves or "think outside the box." To do so would threaten to disrupt the harmony that is so important to their society. I'm not saying this is bad. This is what works for them. Those of us who have lived elsewhere have grown up in a different environment and want our children to be raised with those same values. The Japanese feel the same way about their culture and their environment. Neither is wrong nor right, just different.

The Chris and Emma combo is 10/10 hilarious. You guys always make boring things funny XD

I love this series, and that start of that music that ends up playing throughout... really make me feel that I'm in for a fun time, and click on the right video. I love America, but I agree Japan did have a magical quality you just can't find the same anywhere else.

It was so nice to hear both your perspectives on these different elements of living in Japan. It got a bit deep there when you were talking about kids (too much adulting!) but sounds like you are loving your lives in Japan. I had that similar "resonance" when I stayed in Kyoto. I'm always on the look out for those rare jobs in Japan in my field 🤞

The editing is really top notch in all of your videos.

I agree with Emma on the Shinkansen, especially if your a tourist with a JR pass. You can fly anywhere but you can only get a Shinkansen in Japan... You should travel on it at least once with your JR pass!

Their chemistry is so good... i can't help but ship them everytime they are in a vid together

Definitely the most interesting video so far

this was a really fun video!!

More quality content and guest! Keep it up! It was nice to get different opinions from different types of people. ^.^

When Chris was surprised at his own scribble drawing in the corner I died lmao 😂

Nice video I really enjoyd it a lot!

Great vid, topped off with perfect outro music. Sounds like Napoleon Dyanamite LOL perfect

Chris got a new do. 😁

I would love to travel around Japan with Chris.

2:06 That's the exact trip I'm doing in April. I can't wait!

Life is like a magic, you had such a wonderful chance to sneak that in toward the end xD

11:45 the magical feeling for me still remains after visiting my son and daughter in-law in Japan in 2016! I want to go back and live there!

Chris was so nice to Emma here in 2018 compared to now in 2021-2022 videos. lmao

usually hate most background music youtubers have but maan do i love this soundtrack - i mean...its short, simple and i've probably heard it a million times on a whole lotta channels already but it never fails to entertain me lol

Great video as always guys. Very informative, entertaining and interesting... almost like a Chris Broad video 🤔

Great video! More of Chris Broad please!

I like the sincerity of your answer in the last question. Most people only talk about the "magical part" but just a few talks about the "reality part".

I panicked for a sec until i realized Chris said there were a lot of “insects” not “incest” in Okinawa lol

You guys have great chemistry.

yaay chris is here

Staying in shinjuku for 10 days (dec 28- jan 8) gonna be my first time and i cant wait! My only issue so far is there's so much i want to do in so little time but im definitely buying a nicely sized piece of wagyu while im there

The magical feeling is where I like to go

I swear, the editing in these videos is hilarious.

Let us know in the comments section, which answers you chose and why! We would love to know your opinions as well 🤔

Loved the video! Predicting UK band The Streets next release “Shinjuku is where I like”

Sendai almost feels like the countryside after a day or two in tokyo, people are relaxed, everything feels chill. And unlike the actuall countryside, the convenience of modern Japan is still everywhere.

I know this is from 3 years ago but I want Chris's shirt. Holy geez thats awesome.

What I love about Japan is the Dai-Gohonzon, at Nichiren Shoshu Head Temple Taisekiji where we chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo to experience "that magical feeling"

As a discussion video, getting to hear the differing views and reasoning. Well done to a great team!

You two are so good together! :-)

Now I'm waiting for the "Magical Feeling" t-shirt!

🤣 you pair make me chuckle 🤣 As ever another great entertaining factual video

Will becgoing to osaka, kyoto n tokyo next year soring!

I’m crying, not from laughter, but because I live in Hokkaido. I’m also laughing because the vid was funny... thanks Paul.

Japan is a great place to raise kids. I raised two there, granted they went to international schools. Japan has every conceivable climate ranging from the subtropics (Okinawa) to the sub arctic (Hokkaido) to rugged mountains (Nagano). I loved taking the kids out for outings. The best though the peace of mind knowing violence and drugs are a nonissue. Parents have a responsibility to instill values in their children.

Chris, don't you mean you /might/ see Mt Fuji if it isn't in the clouds?

Comparing the education systems was particularly interesting. I think about that a lot. Which place is better for raising kids, for education. Can you make a dedicated video on that topic.

You are my favorite youtubers 😭😭😭😭

"Whats your favorite season?" Chris: "Antnnn"

Seasons in Japan? I'd say late winter to early spring, just as the plum blossoms are popping. Lovely weather, not too crowded since you're in before sakura season, and you manage to avoid golden week.

I really like the combo of you two. You work well together and the videos with Chris and you are always informative and great.

As someone who has lived in Kyoto, it is unbearably hot May - late October. I couldn’t imagine Okinawa in summer. Been to Hokkaido for the snow festival during the middle of winter, even in feet(meters) of snow, it was actually pretty nice. I see you’ve stay away from the hard hitting questions like Kanto vs Kansai.

Great new typeface 👏🏻👍🏻💖

Chris dominated this double interview

Chris is back!

The “go away” song in Japan is called Hotaru no Hikari and has different lyrics. They sing it at graduations a lot and it’s reminiscent of a “closing” of a specific time. :)

studied in japan recently and i can second the shibuya/shinjuku preference. even the shibuya that tourists "want to see" is so overwhelming for me, i probably won't go back to shibuya next time unless i take someone who hasn't gone. eugh.

Another one of Chris' videos is why I decided to leave for Japan late September and return early November for school. Getting a little close though, making me nervous

I agree with most of chris' answers. However, after just getting back from my journey across Japan, through Tokyo, fuji, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Mt. Koya and back to Tokyo over around 9 or 10 days and also staying in tokyo and flying to miyakojima I would say the best way to explore the country if you have the money is by car. I did drive at times for 6 or 7 hours a day but the amount of freedom compared to the train I would do any day. Stopping wherever takes your fancy, and the roads are great. Toll roads weren't even as expensive as I thought. And on a personal note, leaving Japan has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Already looking Into living and working there.

An Australian misses the beach? Noooooooo, wouldn't have guessed :D Shinjuku has Toho and VR. That's all needed by this geek.

Living in Japan is feeling like a magic! Wow, that whole sentence feels like it belongs in that old Japanglish episode...

New quote for the tourism board: Sendai, there's no escape!

Like a magic!

spend more time on your channel Chris....we need a video from time to time ya know

Chris, Tokyo to Kyoto is going west, not east :)

Chris: talking about depression car driving music: haha that's so funny!!

Come to Iwakuni!

Chris, new tee shirt idea. "Magical Feelings". I'd buy one!

Yeeeah Chris is back

But Chris! Yoyogi Park! And Meiji Shrine! Idk I much prefer Shibuya, plus (Shibuya crossing withstanding) I feel Shinjuku is way too busy. As someone with social anxiety, I like to explore the quiet side streets and said side streets + Yoyogi Park allow me to escape the hustle and bustle.

The whole time I was focused on Chris flipping that pen. Lol I want to be able to do that

good job cameraman! Chris looks slimmer on this video!

Live and breathe Japan since the first day I stepped in the country, coming from the outskirts of Saitama..

more chris video!!! 🤣🤣🤣

You are lucky Chris is on your Channel. He is #1.

I adore Okinawa (it's definitely a different world compared to the rest of Japan) but if I had to choose: Hokkaido all the way. I grew up in the Rocky Mountains and Hokkaido has that same feeling (atmosphere or whatever you want to call it). It feels (to me) like a piece of "home" without having to go back home. Also...winter, winter, winter! Summer can go jump off a cliff!

Chris is looking good today!

i kinda feel like this episode is like knowing each others likes and dislikes.. but in fairness they look good together and i think they are a good team..

Like a magic. 10/10.

The education system in UK is English system. The difference is that UK exported their system to other place of the world because, as everyone know, their have many territories around the world.

I never understood why Chris never suggests the rail pass for visitors. It's only $250ish and allows unlimited shinkansen travel. I feel like that would be cheaper than taking the train all the way down and then flying back lol

I love the moment when Emma said water with T in the middle.
