Hououin Kyouma "Innit" is slang and very informal so don't think about using it with the Queen. 😄 Plus Chris has a posh accent and pronounces his words how they should be said and doesn't shorten them. Example, he says "Something" but the slang is "Summat". And that guy used "Innit" in the wrong way. Because his sentance starts off with "Looks good" he should have used "Doesn't it" instead of "Innit". If you don't know, "Innit" is slang for "Isnt it". So he basically said "Looks good, isn't it?" 😆

baybeehannah19 "innit" originated from the burberry wearing "chavs" ( or "chavvie's" which was a popular term British travellers used to call anyone who did manual labour for them ie, tarmac laying, roofing, etc). Now the term has spread to all classes including the gentry, as has most abbreviations, it's use no longer signifies class as much as it does an off hand remark later regretted or just an unwillingness to construct full sentences ie laziness.

Yeah but to be fair, in the UK, a lot of foreigners and even British people speaking slang do say "innit" a lot so within the right crowds it wouldn't be weird at all. But yeah it is very informal so amongst people who are speaking "proper" English it does sound weird and people may make fun of you for saying it so I would avoid it. But then again I wouldn't really care too much either, so for me it's not a big deal but anyway, don't say innit to your mum like that yeah? haha.

Probably the most fun I've ever had making a video. Despite having to get up at silly o'clock, after downing a coffee I was good to go for a 3 hour stroll around the market. Admittedly it helped that there was so much amazing food, that I forget I was tired - I also forget it was the morning, given I was stuffing myself with fried chicken. I definitely plan to go again later in the year, and I can't recommend it enough if you're looking to explore a decent market in Japan. It's 1000% times better and more memorable than Tsukiji fishmarket (although to be fair, Tsukiji is more of a B2B market, not for tourists).

I have watched your videos on and off for quite a long time and never bothered commenting. Just wanted to say I love them, it's great to get a more honest insight into Japan because when you think about it we see so little of it in the West that everyone thinks they are just a bunch of insane anime loving stereotypes with weird fetishes. It's nice to see it all through the eyes of a fellow cynical brit as well, the videos are so chill and easy to watch that sometimes I throw them on the TV in the early hours when I can't sleep. If I ever end up taking some time to go exploring Japan (Which I want to eventually), your videos will probably be a part of the studying material for planning. Keep up the good work!

I have earned enough frequent flyer miles and hotel nights for a free vacation. So I want to show people how I was able to to that. I want to feature some of the places I visit hence watching your videos and others. This food market is just the type of traveling I love. There's great food and there seems to be a flea market. It seems a great way to get away from the tourist traps and to be immersed in the everyday life of Japanese people. The pony was just charming. It looks like such a great place. I appreciate you doing a video like this.

If i'm not mistaken it is a commercial move by prefectures to get some attention, sell some goods and get a good rep with young people. A few years ago, a yellow blob mascot, while unnoficcial became a country sensation because it was so quirky. The variety tv genre benefits a lot from this, where they can use the character as a point of interest in the talk shows as well. Just some useless knowledge. Recently, Kumamoto had that earthquake and their mascot, a bear-like thing called Kumamon (kuma=bear) worked as an embassador to gather some relief help. It is an all-around capable way of making local propaganda, very interesting in a sense.
