I must say it's so cool to see Chris just chatting with his sister on camera and just being really relaxed and unscripted. It's awesome to see, like you're seeing the real person. His sister is awesome too, I'm sure you'll have a very prosperous career. I'd edit this into my comment but I don't want to remove the heart
@@frostyblade8842 Thanks for your comment! Yeah it was very chill and good to have a chat, we don't see each other often. Tbh I'm probably a bit too chilled in this video 😂
@@AlwaysAway I thought you're Sharla's sister! You and Sharla look so similar! Until you started speaking British. CHRIS man. He chose someone who looks like his sister. Sus.
I don't know if anyone will get this reference, but it was a very "Kevin Smith" edit like cutting to Jay and Silent Bob moshing in front of the Quick Stop.
You joked “I’m 40” and then the conversation seemed to move on for a while before you came back and corrected it and for that entire duration I was just getting more and more bewildered that maybe it wasn’t actually a joke 🤣🤣
I've been watching Chris for a few years now I had no idea he had a sister but I love that you're a family of travellers and filmmakers I hope you both do more videos together 😊
I love how chill the vibes are until the very end where Natsuki just turns the video into a circus of confusion and laughter, what a great wake up call!
awww so sweet to see u siblings both together, your brother must have been so delighted to have you visit Japan. Hope he has been treating you well and been nice to you during ur visit 😁
Very nice to see Emma and Chris together sharing some memories and experiences. Nice that you have similar interest in videos and Emma is included in editing for Chris. When siblings get along it's a godsend. Thanks for sharing.
As a Swede, I can really recommend a trip to Sweden. But honestly, maybe even more I can recommend a trip to Norway,. It's extremely beautiful! Sweden is also very beautiful, but Norway is honestly amazing. But it has a ton of mountains and fjords, so it can take a while to drive through it all. So if you want to go to the most northern spot in Norway, maybe drive up through Sweden for an easier drive?
The abandoned/untouched villages thing is quite strange to me. I've heard over the years how Japan has been "running out of land" and stories of how they're creating man-made islands, and so on. But then through all of the UA-cam videos I've found out there is plenty of land, that villages and towns used to be on, but people have just left..
25:36 Many people think Nordkapp is the northernmost point of Norway but its actually Knivskjelodden. It's about 1,5 km further north and 4 km vest from Nordkapp. You don't have to pay any fees for visiting it unlike Nordkapp and it supposedly has a pretty nice trail to it. Just putting it out there incase you guys accidentally get it wrong
Chris, each of your Journey Across Japan series IS a short film, as were your Natsuki and Onagawa shorts. They were documentary films, but shoet films none the less.
Lovely to see the sibling connection! I have a similar age gap with my older brother (8 years). We'd get in scraps as kids, but we hang out all the time now and get along pretty well. Awesome that you were somewhat influenced by Chris's video-making. Looking forward to seeing where your adventures keep taking you!
I've seen people say that Chris has been 40 since he was 20, and... if that is framed as a compliment, I have to sort of agree. He definitely has an aura of a person I could see doing a travel documentary for TV channel, being mature but still funny.
Idk why everyone says she looks like sharla aside from the hair. If you look at their facial features, the eyes and smile they look alike. Def makes me miss and appreciate my little sis. Glad you guys did the video.
Pro tip re: petting cats - watch their ears. When they’re overstimulated or had enough of petting, the ears will turn to the sides. Stop petting, do not pass go, let them be. Cats teach us consent! ❤
It's fun to look into a small window of the origins of one of my favorite UA-camrs and content creators, and to discover your content as well 🙂 Awesome video, thank you for taking the time for us 👍 Natsuki, 🫶🤘
I first saw you (Emma) in Sharla 's video and now I'm happily subscribed. I found your brother's (I'm his age) videos during 2020 and it's led me to so many other amazing people and amazing content. Keep up the great work!
I don't know how weird it is, but I know people are usually drawn to those that resemble family. Sharla and Chris kinda look like dopplegangers of Emma and her BF.
@@amara560 Here sister made a video with Sharla with the title "vanlife with my sister" and the top comment is they look like sisters. So they are aware they look alike and a lot of people think so.
Emma, you want to watch the Ingham family they went to the furthest point of Norway. It was so beautiful. I would love to go myself if I win the lottery. Great Q&A love from Essex UK X
Really enjoyed seeing you two together & answering the questions! I’m really glad I discovered your content through Sharla as I’m a big fan of camping and van life vids. I’d love to know what type of camera Chris gifted as I’m in the market for one. Looking forward to your future adventures! 💖
You know, the parallels between Chris and James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) are oddly kind of notable, as they both seem to have a real lifelong love of and knack for filmmaking that shaped their future careers and made them both into pretty ubiquitous online personalities. I'm not sure how, when, or where it could possibly come to pass, but I'd love to see the two of them meet sometime and collaborate on a video together. I imagine it would be quite fun, and with both of their filmmaking skills and backgrounds working together, it would probably be a real sight to behold, too! Also, this is my first time seeing you, Emma -- I'm not sure I even knew Chris had a sister! But you seem awesome too, and I'm definitely going to be checking out some of your other videos. Already added a bunch into my Watch Later list, and will surely enjoy them over dinner in the coming week or two. Thanks for taking the time to do this Q&A!
I really enjoyed this video. It was kind of like I asked you in a conversation and you sat across from me in a bar 😀 Greetings from German with a wish to visit Japan one day
I think everyone should visit Africa, Ghana is seriously such a hype place and it's never on people's lists for travel. I'm not sure if people still have negative stereotypes of Africa or what because I went there and I felt safer than I did in Canada and everyone was so helpful and friendly
Really enjoyed this; made me think of a lot of sibling memories with my little brother growing up. As an aside, a tip off for Chris for a future video: the island of Sado. It was a place of exile for Japan in centuries past, and in more recent history it’s got an association with people being kidnapped to North Korea. Anyway, thanks again!
Thanks for answering my question about your childhood travels. Coming from Australia, your 4 overseas trips in your childhood sounds like a lot (I first went overseas at age 29) but I guess Spain isn't all that far away from the UK. :) Loving your videos, including the van ones, keep 'em coming.
Yes! When you’ve been flying for 8+ hours and you’re still just over Australia (for me anyway… Tas/Melb). It‘s hard to leave the country for a casual holiday when it takes so dang long (and costs so much) 😅 New Zealand is the only easily attainable “international” destination really haha
Awesome Q & A. I enjoyed every minute. So excited that the Nordic countries are next on the horizon. And that was the funniest version of Happy Birthday I have ever heard. 😂
Excellent vid. I would definitely be down to see vids of Norway or Switzerland. I would love to move over to Europe, but with no degree it would probably be impossible. Question for Chris.... Maybe a short documentary on the state of Japan's rural countryside due to a declining population and people in general moving to Tokyo.
I'm already in Europe and I would want to see that too 🙂 (I have already been to Switzerland though when I was a kid, it's a great place, but my guess is as an adult I'd have a different way of looking at it)
I relate to the part on growing up in a small town with parents that don't really go anywhere for vacations, my urge to just get around is much greater than anyone it being so, well I'm still not of age, gotta make that come true in my times...
Oh it's great to see Chris. We are patiently waiting for at least one of the new videos to be shown. You are truly an inspiration. One day you must visit Spain, it is an interesting and diverse country and I think you would love it.
I'd love to watch you guys travel around Northern Europe, especially in the campervan. My UA-cam channel is so heavy on travel to Japan after following Sharla and Chris 😂
Great video. Thank you for sharing both of your sibling history & insights to your experiences in Japan. Love the ending as well. Take care & keep creating your style of videos.
Ooh, I've switched universes again. This was a video about being an only child and now it's about his sister instead. I like this universe; hope I get to hang out for a bit before it changes again.
I had no idea Chris had a sister, that's awesome. The Abroad Cinematic Uninlverse expands once again

@@frostyblade8842 When you get as popular as Chris has there a point where you want to protect your family from too many cameras?
I had to blink again on the sibling title. I thought she was Sharla 😂
The cut to Pete dancing was perfect. 😆
Had to put him in, it worked too well 😂😂
@@AlwaysAway I was rolling when I saw that XD
So unexpected 🤣
Yes 😂😂😂
I don't know if anyone will get this reference, but it was a very "Kevin Smith" edit like cutting to Jay and Silent Bob moshing in front of the Quick Stop.
If Chris and Sharla have a daughter she's gonna look exactly like Emma. 😂
Lmao. I can see the resemblance
the resemblance is unbelievable
Does Chris have an Oedipus complex?
@@YounusMogul except that's with the mother
@@ninjason57 A child, including a daughter/sister, usually looks like one of their parents. Maybe even their mother...
It's fun to learn that you're actually a regular editor for Chris, explains why the edits on your videos are also so good!
You joked “I’m 40” and then the conversation seemed to move on for a while before you came back and corrected it and for that entire duration I was just getting more and more bewildered that maybe it wasn’t actually a joke 🤣🤣
Hahaha that's amazing 😅
same 🤣🤣
Glad I'm not alone haha. I was starting to have an existential crisis as a fellow 26 year old woman
@@meme-gy5gx right? 27 here, I was like… girl if you’re 40 and ageing like that then I need your secret NOW 🤣
Not enough exposure to dry English humor I guess.
Emma and Sharla are curiously similar in looks 🤔
I thought they were sisters! Was so confused
Not really. They just have long blonde hair. Emma looks like Chris.
I thought that was Sharla in the thumbnail at first…
@@SuperSPatrick she looks soooo much like chris!
That's what I thought. And Sharla also mentioned that Chris liked it when she dyed her hair blonde...😏
You and Sharla look like you could be sisters, you look very similar.
Chris is Japanese at heart too with the inseki lol
I guess all blond hair women look the same to you.
@@Ritsu362 Bro 💀
@@Ritsu362wtf😂
I was thinking the same thing, honestly
I've been watching Chris for a few years now I had no idea he had a sister but I love that you're a family of travellers and filmmakers I hope you both do more videos together 😊
Gotta love Natsuki 🤣 - sometimes you have no idea what he’s saying or even doing… and yet it’s hilarious all the same 😂
Yup, not a clue what was going on, he thought we were live at the time too for some reason 😂 gotta love him!
And no idea why he's saying what he's saying 😂 He just comes out with the most random stuff
With Natsuki you´re always guaranteed to experience some great vibes. 😊
To roughly quote Chris from the recent livestream: Natsuki speaks quite good English but he has fk all knowledge of grammar
😂😂😂
It was the awkward mild panic in Emma and Dom's eyes for me 🤣🤣
Like more Sharla's twin with a lil Chris 😊
I love how chill the vibes are until the very end where Natsuki just turns the video into a circus of confusion and laughter, what a great wake up call!
Natsuki never fails to make me smile
Chris is looking very good with his health journey
awww so sweet to see u siblings both together, your brother must have been so delighted to have you visit Japan. Hope he has been treating you well and been nice to you during ur visit 😁
He has! He's a very good brother nowadays 😅
Strong emphasis on nowadays 😂
She looks more like sharla’s sibling than Chris’.
Natsuki's looking so smart and hip!
He's getting some grey and it looks so good on him! He's so adorable, I wish we could see him more often.
As the video progresses, you really begin to see the resemblace. Thanks for the exclusive!
Very nice to see Emma and Chris together sharing some memories and experiences. Nice that you have similar interest in videos and Emma is included in editing for Chris. When siblings get along it's a godsend. Thanks for sharing.
As a Swede, I can really recommend a trip to Sweden. But honestly, maybe even more I can recommend a trip to Norway,. It's extremely beautiful!

After the drastic change thanks to your "cultural enrichment", I, and many others, will never set foot in Sweden even if you guys pay us to.
Agreed, living in Sweden for 19 years at the moment.
Chris and Sharla should do a van summer somewhere outside of Japan 🖤
Gotta convince them to come meet us in Norway this summer!
The crossover we were all waiting for 💜
18:15 that thunderbirds island chris :') most stuff we had as kids is damn alot worth now
Two Broads In Japan! Loved it.
The graphics you did are pretty iconic to the whole of Abroad in Japan.
Natsuki!!! Never fails to make me laugh, that guy is a national treasure 🤣
Awww, sweet video! Good questions, well edited. It would be fun to hear more about you and Dom’s adventures in the next Q&A 😊
Thank you! Will definitely do one after this trip 🥰
i never comment but i have to say i adore the editing on this, it looks great
@@emily777_ ah thank you 🥰🥰
I could see Chris chasing neighborhood cats with the robot from robot wars.
Dom is hilarious honestly. He should do some "TV presenter" style videos like Chris did initially where his humour/charm can shine through.
He's so great at randomly coming out with stuff! He's always rhyming stuff too, it's his east London roots haha. That'd be cool to try out!
If Chris starts traveling, he should start a new channel called 'abroad with chris' where he just vlogs his trips. Would be great
A broad with Chris?
The abandoned/untouched villages thing is quite strange to me. I've heard over the years how Japan has been "running out of land" and stories of how they're creating man-made islands, and so on.

Awh thanks!! Hopefully this time round we don't have so many van problems 😅
I don't like saying I found this channel thanks to Chris but I did. I fell in love with your style and video composition, keep it up!
Hahaha, thank you! 💖

When youve exhausted exploring Japan try Australia for a while.
Pro tip re: petting cats - watch their ears. When they’re overstimulated or had enough of petting, the ears will turn to the sides. Stop petting, do not pass go, let them be. Cats teach us consent! ❤
