    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Don't deny it. You wanted to see Ryotaro get run over by the patronisingly slow self-driving cart as much as I did. A MASSIVE thank you to you all for tuning into the Abroad in Japan channel - whether you're new here and are still wondering who the hell we are, or have been watching since the dawn of time (which is 2012). I never thought we'd make it this far and I'm hoping we can do something extra special in 2021! Bring on some serious "pork tactics." (Seriously though, how does Ryotaro invent these phrases?!).

So yeah, thought you would appreciate knowing that happened.

    The best thing is how Ryotaro made Chrisreach 2m subs because of his 1.5m subscriptions 👍

    Ryoto is so animated when tipsy, you need to give him drinks more often.

      If I'm picking up on it correctly I think there is a reason he doesn't drink so often, so as funny as that would be I don't think it will happen.

    Ryotaro only further strengthens the fact that no one will ever understand the Japanese psyche.

    I genuinely enjoy everything Chris puts out!! It's always a good time, makes me feel like I'm present there with him.
