    Was so much fun having you and Pete up! Glad you got to see the studio before the earthquake 😅 I’m confident we can return it to its former glory in no time. I especially enjoyed watching you and Pete have your own mini adventure with the swans, haha.

      The studio set was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw your post about the earthquake. Looking forward to seeing it restored. You and the set designers put a lot of love into it.

      I was very sorry to see the damage to the Abroad in Japan studio in Chris's video this week. I hope he can get it back to its former glory soon. 🙏 xx

    Chris’ sad Manekineko was heartbreaking! Hope Chris can kintsugi it! Wow your earthquake footage would have been hilarious if they’d used it on NBC news like Only in Japan *GO’s footage! So great to see your footage of Sendai before the quake! Happy to hear you’re safe too in Tokyo!! It was a pretty big shake lucky we’re on the second floor so not super high up! Good luck for Mario Kart success no more 7th place!!

    it never ceases to amaze me how great japan is at handling earthquakes and I am old enough to remember watching the Kobe earthquake on TV, Japan really works so much harder at public safety since then they put so many other countries to shame.

  • @rich_in_paradise
    @rich_in_paradise 2 роки тому +46

    It's so weird seeing that Chris's studio is just in an ordinary office space. It's so convincing that I really expected it was in a dingy back-street somewhere lol.

      @TacComControl 2 роки тому +5

      I'm more worried about what sort of repairs that's gonna involve. If a line is broken in between floors or something, that's gonna involve the ceiling needing to be torn out to fix it, then torn out more to replace the water damaged gypsum board.

    It’s really unfortunate what happened to his studio, but I’m so glad that he and everyone was safe during the earthquake! He built such an incredible studio, and while the changes to the studio after the earthquake might not be the same, I’m excited to see any new additions to it as he rebuilds! ✨

    Loved the eye makeup! I was amazed how long the quake was. At first I thought, hmmm, reenactment? Then, realized no, this is it. You are resilient! I was crying when I saw it pop up on John Daub's video and while watching updates on NHK. Earthquakes are my biggest fear! (Texted my son in Osaka right after,he had no idea it happened). Cats are good judges of people! Stay safe!

      Emma it was nice that you posted this video when you did. It was good to see Chris's studio being enjoyed in its former glory. I saw loads of details that I had never spotted previosly in his vids. Fingers crossed Chris can get the studio back up and running soon. Xx

    As an elderly sub with no children, seeing you so frightened when the earth was shaking actually made me cry. I am so sad that you were made fearful and so grateful that you were unharmed. Honestly I am not the hugest fan of Chris but that too is something that I hate to see since he has been so creative and enterprising to get that fabulous studio together. What a good thing Natsuke and Sharla were there to support him upon the horrible discovery.

  • @cailinanne
    @cailinanne 2 роки тому

    I love how Chris is still finding stuff in his own studio. Like, the people who put it together really meant for it to be seen as a bit of an optical illusion art piece- because it looks different from somewhat far away and up close. And striking from both angles. That makes it such a smart filming space because you can do a lot of fun and interesting angles.
    TL;DR: The studio builders put a lot of thought into it, and it shows in a cool edgy-artistic way.
    I truly hope putting it back together comes with more fun surprises than sadness over broken objects. The personality in it will not be changed by a few dings.
    No brave and gregarious human is scarless. I think the same for well loved places.
