NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Natsuki and Ryotaro united at last! What more could you want from a video? For the next few weeks Abroad in Japan videos are going old school; which basically means it's just me in a room eating cup noodles. But do any of you share my childhood fear? And do you want to see Natsuki quit smoking?! Let me know in the comments. And don't forget to check out the new Abroad in Japan website and steal some soundbites from the soundboard! Enjoy! (www.abroadinjapan.com/) Stay safe guys

@@YMangaka I have seen much of Japan through various KZreadrs. I would enjoy it for sure, thank you.

I used to smoke for 17 years, and I was addicted to it. That breakfast that Natsuki enjoys is called a "Fisherman's Breakfast", and it is every smoker's breakfast. Smoking suppresses hunger, so it would obviously replace actual food for breakfast. I also used to smoke as much as Natsuki, roughly. But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I just woke up one day and said that I'm done smoking. However, you can't force a person to quit, because they will get pissed off, and they will resist quitting more. I certainly did. It is tough, man, but it's a decision that needs to be made by Natsuki. A couple of things that helped me: - Don't drink coffee or alcohol for about a month (both lead to temptation of smoking) - Replace smoking with another activity (I replaced smoking with exercise) - Keep your hands busy. Half of the anxiety that comes with quitting is that you need something to do with your hands. - Don't make a big deal out of quitting (the more you focus on it, the more you crave). I had actually forgotten how long ago I had quit, but apparently I'm on my 8th month. Woohoo! - Never say "I'll just have one". We all know what that means with booze, so it's obviously the same with smoking. One is never just one. - And, lastly, avoid social gatherings for a while. They generally tempt you into smoking, as well. Natsuki, if you want to quit, these are some things that helped me overcome an addiction that I thought I never would. I know that you can beat it, bud :) (if you want to, of course)

Partnered with exercise, the food did my body good, considering that I was burning a lot of energy. I completely agree! Unfortunately, smoking is an addiction. The amount of times I said "I know that smoking is bad, but I just enjoy it so much". It sucks letting something have that much power over you. Natsuki will make the decision for himself, and he'll have good friends to support him. I hope they're prepared for cranky Natsuki, though. It's unavoidable.

For all those who want to be non-smokers.... I always recommend “Easy Way to Stop Smoking” by Allen Carr. It’s been translated into about 26 languages, I don’t know if Japanese is included. The English audiobook is amazing. I did try to read it once, but I found the material stuck better with audio. It’s only a 6 hour listen. I sometimes go back and listen to specific chapters if I need too. It’s a powerful book, and seriously.... I cannot recommend it enough.

I lived in Shibuya for about three years and totally fell in love with Japan and the Japanese people. I’ve enjoyed binge-watching your witty and entertaining videos, which bring back great memories. Thanks and hope you’re doing well.

A bit late to the posting here, but I just watched this and it hit home! My name is also Chris and I was afraid of ET all of my very early childhood. When I was very young my Mom hung a poster of ET on the wall near the entrance to my room...Every night for 2 years I slept in fear, frozen in place, scared to look away from the wall.. I can still remember it vividly... damn ET. One random beautiful day I came to the realization that I had the power to take the poster down... so I ripped that sucker down and life drastically changed (not even exaggerating!). So, ET is an evil ugly bastard... but I owe his demon-looking ass for helping realize I have the power to make changes in my life lol.

@tiagobsreis

3 жыл бұрын

This kind of mistake is much easier to make for native speakers, because they first learn how to speak and only several years later they learn how to write, essentially as a process of coding the speech into graphical symbols. So it's easy to mix up things that sound the same, even if their meanings are obviously different. Non-native speakers usually learn writing along with speaking and their minds associate foreign words with the words in their native languages, where they probably sound very different, and thus the risk for confusion is minimized. It happens in other languages as well. My native language is Portuguese and we pronounce the words for "plus" and "but" ("mais" and "mas") in the same way, so a lot of people keep mixing those two up when writing. Obviously, for someone whose native language is English, it is impossible to accidentally swap "plus" for "but", so if you think of a sentence in English and translate it word for word to Portuguese in your mind, you won't be making this mistake that a lot of proficient Portuguese speakers make.

The voice box would just never die, there was no visible off button either if I remember, or battery bit.

Ah, but that part was supposed to be horrifying! For me I will give thanks to ET for teaching me the insult "penis breath" at an exceedingly young age for use against my older brothers.

It was that horrifying squeal it did that messed me up. My sister was given a stuffed ET cuddly toy and she used to torment me with it. I'm probably gonna have a nightmare tonight!

Finding out you had that sound board and spamming as many as I could quickly was great fun lol

I totally understand about E.T.! Thought about it and you said it, hahah, your not the only one.

I am now going to do something here, that I have always hated when other people did 🤣 Dear Natsuki. I am an old smoker. I smoked 40 cigarets a day for 20 years, and before that I smoked between 20 and 30 a day for 23 years. I started smoking at the tender age of 12. Last year on Christmas eve I decided enough is enough. I put out my cigaret and threw away the rest of the packet. I have not smoked since. Still get these pangs where I look for a cigaret and it is HARD. But most of the time I do not think about it. In my life I have tried many, many times to stop. But I never succeeded. I believe you need to be ready for it to work. It does not matter if your friends and familie are ready for you to stop, If YOU are not. How do you know, you are ready then? I do not have the faintest idea. All I can say is this, if and when you think. "I want to stop". Go for it. Maybe you are ready, maybe not. But at least your body will benefit from the days you succeeded in not smoking, or smoking less. It wont hurt. And one day, you may just hit the right moment like I did. And then you are a former smoker. Good luck and stay safe

I was 2 packs a day for 30 years; I finally quit by tapering off nicotine using e-cigs for a few years ( in the time between when they were silly and when they became ridiculous). It probably won't work unless he is seriously ready to quit.

I would heartily agree with what you are saying. Being a pack a day currently for the last thirteen years, it takes a sea change to get up the gumption to quit, and believe me, I have tried.

When you started talking about the children’s character that used to scare you I immediately thought “ET, please say ET” and then you did and I lost it. I was terrified of ET as a child. I used to lie in bed afraid that his head would appear from around the door frame. I don’t know what I was afraid of him doing, but goddamn he was terrifying. And I truly never understood why none of my friends were terrified of him too.

As someone who lost their mother a almost 2 months ago to lung cancer from being a smoker of 47 years, if we it could get Natsuki to quit smoking, that would be wondrous.

As someone that started smoking from 12 to 27 years old and has quit for over a year now I can tell you that him quitting successfully will have nothing to do with us. It will be up to him. I don't mean to sound contrary though I do agree and I hope for everyone to be able to quit smoking as soon as they can. I'm sorry for your loss, I hope you can find it in yourself to have a nice day and are able to spend time with someone you care about.

I don't want to speak for Natsuki, but I don't think he really is interested in stopping to smoke. I think he doesn't care about death, nor life. He often seems to be trapped, with no real goal in life. It's not like he can't enjoy things, but he takes life as it comes, I doubt he really has sth like a bucket list. So I just wish him to find his place in life, to be happy, and if that is reached, healthy without smoking, to make that life enjoyable as long as possible.

Only just got around to watching this video (new fan) and I just wanted to say that I am also terrified of E.T. So much in fact that the images of E.T in this video legitimately scared the shit out of me. So thanks for that 😂

Glad to finally see Risottoro and Natsuki in the same video, sadly it had to be a fight where evil wins

"Bucket of dried sodium" is likely the most accurate thing I've ever heard. Nothing like a flavour-style sachet of monosodium glutamate to boost morale.

Natsuki's too much of a cinnamon roll to ever win in a duel versus Ryotaro, who we all know is still planning Chris's untimely demise as we all speak.

You're not alone. E.T. scared the piss out of me for a long time!

I've been afraid of ET forever also! I never thought anybody else was afraid of him either. I am so glad that you had the courage to admit that thank you Chris!!!

My Dad found the perfect apartment in Tokyo, but they would not rent it to him because he was a foreigner. We ended up living in another one that worked out well.

"No one could ever bring himself to kill Natsuki" Agreed. He's like a big brother we all need.

Watching your channel brings up such a strange mix of emotions for me. I love your channel, the quality is fantastic, your humour is on point, and you teach me about a place that I have always been curious about. However, it's bittersweet because you remind me of one of the best friends I've ever had, a British dude from London, who now lives in Singapore and for the most part we have lost touch. Maybe this series will inspire me to make my way to Asia and reunite with my long lost friend. Love from Canada, Zach

Hi Chris! Love watching your videos from Montreal Canada! Planning to go in Japan with my 10 years old in April 2022.. how is the weather?

"I don't think anyone could bring themselves to kill Natsuki." ... Sees that last clip. Uhhh, except for Ryotaro, apparently.

I think he was trying to say "Just Delicious" but added an "is" unnecessarily. A pretty understandable mistake imo since he's not a native speaker

I still contend that he's saying "Just is delicious". Describe it in one word,,, that one word is 'delicious'. It JUST IS DELICIOUS.
