When you strip away the sarcasm and narrative structure from the latest Abroad in Japan video, you're left with this relaxing, 2 minute cinematic escape, showcasing the stunning beauty of the Japanese countryside. Indulge in it! Escape to it! - And then go and watch the full 20 minute video with the sarcasm and the narrative structure: th-cam.com/video/uQw1SwPo0UA/w-d-xo.html
@@ChrisAbroad my SO is playing that right now. Breathtaking scenery! My favorite part of the game is when he writes haiku. Amid all the bloodshed, those are beautiful moments of serenity.
oh my gosh i absolutely love the view at 1:19 , this cozy little group of houses surrounded by green fields. that's a perspective i don't think i've ever seen before
@@Torirubobbi th-cam.com/video/tVrlL6CpXBA/w-d-xo.html This is the closest thing I could find. It's possible that Chris edited the audio in a specific way for this video only
Japanese summer and its sheer greenery is its own marvel to behold. You sweat like a pig, constanly longing for pool and ice cold drinks, chase after gigantic gokiburi endlessly, but when you rewind the entire experience in different perspective, here is the result. Unlike the summers of elsewhere, which is more about loud beach party, it is rather melancholic, memorable, and subtly beautiful, like a mellow music that you just don't want to ever end. Yet, it is also dramatic, majestic, and elegantly wrapped in endless greenery that will soon turn red and yellow in the oncoming season.
As much as I love the "actual" content of your videos, the scenery shots never fail to steal the show for me, they're always so stunning. More of these montages would be greatly appreciated! And some music credits, too - you find a lot of great tunes!
The aesthetics of Japan in general from its cities to its rural areas feels like it all has been thoroughly arranged and calculated that it's so satisfying to look at.
2 minute masterpiece, of pure appreciation of life, nature, and Japan in particular, the music choice fits perfectly to make this video, a beautiful experience, Thank you Mister Chris.
This is the very sole reason why I keep motivating myself to work hard just to get a chance to move to Japan countryside and continue my photography hobby there
Don’t mind me, just watching this on repeat all day. You could upload videos like that that last for hours and I’d leave them on in the background for most of my work shift. Appreciate the great content, stay safe!
This was so beautiful. The camera work is absolutely perfect, editing is seamless, and the music chosen matches so well it will bring a tear to your eye. Amazing work Chris, job well done.
The immense amount of production quality going into the videos is phenomenal. My favorite shot was the top down of your car with the wind in the fields. Keep up the good work Chris!
Looking forward to seeing some of those hidden spots now you have a car again. Still can't believe Natsuki went and got you non alcoholic beer though lol.
Chris, I've watched your videos for years. I went to Japan in 2018 for 3 weeks. This is the one video you've made that makes me "feel" Japan. Thank you for this one. Love the music!!! Maybe you could make another similar one. Thanks again for your work!!
Certainly an enjoyable vignette of the countryside. Been over 15 years since I've been, but I'd like to be back out there. And that end shot of Natsuki and you is 👌 *chef kiss* 👌
That music seeking 0:36 is really nostalgic for some reason. Great video and simply stunning vistas Thank you for the visual treats and just a wholesome and relaxing 2 mins 😁
Man I just have to say you have inspired me to take two years in japan once I complete uni and make videos like this, I’m truly thankful for giving me inspiration⛩🌄(I’m 16 atm)
Whew ... that was so cool. Thank God for Japan! .. thanks also to you Chris for your skills and effort for bringing this 2-minute montage an awesome reality. Count your blessings. Best regards to Natsuki.
It's like a relaxing dreamscape. It's like the idealized and realistic version of what Japan is, and it reminds me of how I felt being in Japan. Wonderful shots and cinematography Chris! It's like a Makoto Shinkai movie but full circle back to real life images.
Chris, I've been watching Your videos for years. I spent 3 weeks in Japan in 2018. This, to me, is one of the most accurate depictions so far. Watching this, along with this music, transports me right back!! Thank you!!
need more videos like this Chris, no sarcastic comments or background commentary (not that I don't like it), just the sublime scenery of Japanese countryside
I love how, in your practice of cinematography, you get to share your experiences in Japan. Every time I watch a new work of yours, I can't wait for the next release. Makes me want to visit Japan again.
After getting to your channel because of the Journey Across Japan series and binge watching almost every videos, let me just say I become a big fan of your works! It's really weird because watching this with the perfect music you chose bring tears to my eyes? I hope for more success for you ahead!
The Video really nailed all the screws! Sarcasm, Educational, Funny Edits, Beautiful and Amazing Videotography, and a Heartwarming Ending. Then seeing this peiced together is just aweing
I can honestly say having discovered your channel during quarentine has sparked such a major desire to explore Japan. I follow other vloggers but your videos are the best. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home away from home. ❤️
The drone shot footage, starting at 0:08 reminds me so much of the coast of Oregon. Specifically the Haystacks on Cannon Beach. The cinematography in this whole video is breathtaking. Looking forward to the day you decide to do “Journey Around Oregon” on the new Abroad in America channel. Keep up the amazing work.
To me is mindblowing that with the help of drones and stuff like that, anyone can take such beautiful takes, something a decade ago only a full crew of professionals with a crane or helicopter could have done, either way, such a beautiful video, thank you Chris and friends!
I had never realised just how extraordinaryly beautiful Japan's countryside was until I stumbled across your videos during lock down. I hadn't ever though to visit/travel round Japan but its now in my top 5 places to see in the world. So, thank you Chris.
Chris, I think people would really enjoy a longer form of this if you find the energy / effort to do this. The scenery in Japan really is quite beautiful (all those mountains, valleys, and rivers) and pairing it with your cinematography is a nice treat. Hope you consider it!
Chris, just wanted to say that I'm totally in love with your vids. My wife and I like to hear all about your adventures and how the many other people that we've come to enjoy watching in your videos are doing. Whenever a new vid appears in the subscription feed, we stop what we're doing to watch it. Keep up the great work! From SC, Nate
I love the balance of the audio - the mix of video audio and music was really nice and added a lot of the visual of the video. I especially liked how the water sounds worked with the music. Amazing job!!
Brilliant, Chris. Thanks so much for the beauty you create (including the sarcasm which is beautiful in its own right). This montage brought back so many memories of similar journeys I've enjoyed in more remote areas of Japan--minus the drone's perspective. Gorgeous.
I really enjoyed the most recent video, but I thought the best part was the opening sequence. So to see this being that but even more so was brilliant! The music and the drone shots were really something else, particularly the top down shot, with the shadow of the clouds on the sea of green fields. Amazing work as always Chris!
Chris, thanks for the bright spots in all the youtube gloom. I just finished watching the new video, followed the suggested link to your one about Drifting in North Japan and came back here to this. Really love your work, both here and on the Podcast. Many thanks.
Short and sweet. I've watched this video so many times now and I would just like to congratulate Chris for how far he has come regarding his cinematography and the content he creates. From someone who's been following your work for quite some time now, I look at this and I genuinely feel so much appreciation for the things you have been showing me over the years and how much I've been learning from you whilst still fuelling a burning desire to visit that mystical land. The time and passion you put into your work is worth it and crystal clear for us followers and viewers. Thanks Chris!
I've been in a student exchange to a small city named Tarumizu in Kagoshima prefecture back in highschool. The landscape are similar to what you potray in this video. Traditional houses and rice field in a ratio of 1:10. The difference is there was an abundant volcanic ashes everywhere from mount sakurajima. But then thank you for reminding me how beautiful japanese countryside is Chris.
I just wanted to say thank you Chris. Everytime I'll watch your videos it just fills me with happiness and no matter how my day went you always make it better. Thank you very much!
Even the audio work on this is fantastic. It's blended together so nicely. Audio from drone shots obviously can't be used, with the loud propellers next to the camera, but what you've done to overcome that and stitch everything together is just amazing. I was blown away seeing this on the main video, really impressive work!

Chris, you should shout this channel out more! So many people would love to see b-roll footage and outtakes on top of the other great content :)
Lovely
Thank you for that.
Justice delicious
This is just ridiculously good, I mean what the hell...Nice job Chris!
1:14 the grass looks like anime grass
Inspired by Ghost of Tsushima
Nah man the anime grass looks like this grass :p
@@ChrisAbroad my SO is playing that right now. Breathtaking scenery! My favorite part of the game is when he writes haiku. Amid all the bloodshed, those are beautiful moments of serenity.
@jernejj5 sounds like grass with extra steps
@jernejj5 I think you'll find rice IS grass
oh my gosh i absolutely love the view at 1:19 , this cozy little group of houses surrounded by green fields. that's a perspective i don't think i've ever seen before
I prefer the shot right before that. I love how the wind plays in the rice fields.
@Jamez Bloxyz Yeah. Life's like that.
@Jamez Bloxyz I hope you and your childhood friend meet again
Seems like Chris is entering the high quality stock footage business.
call them B-rolls.
@@Alphonselle B-roll can be stock footage but stock footage isn't necessarily b-roll, and b-roll doesn't have to be stock footage but it can be. :P
@@UltimatePwnageNL My head hurts.
The quality of these shots though
Hooh.. This is what you called "fan service". Thank you
Exactly
The music fits the scenery beautifully
Yes but WHAT is that music? I need to know! Anyone?
@@shearmanvideos can't find anything under that name.
@@shearmanvideos any links?

Yea I was wondering what the song was
It's Ikebana by taizo audio
it's feels like I've been escaping to japan for 2 minutes
Went to buy a new Honda. Asked where the missile hatch was. Now I’m on a watch list. THANKS CHRIS
0:28 this shot is so well made, good job
Need more of these.
Absolutely
Thank you
That video made my day better, thank you very much Chris
This is so relaxing I dropped my phone because I doze off😩😒🤧
Outstanding
Smashing success!
Right? I started getting sleepy!
Its like a magic!
Loving the music

Can't believe people can actually dislike this kind of beauty. How sad their life must be. What a pity.
Japan♥️
Chris♥️♥️
1:20 anyone else struck with the burning desire to visit that little village?
I'm watching as I am getting ready for work. Thanks for this calming start to the day. :)
Don’t mind me, just watching this on repeat all day. You could upload videos like that that last for hours and I’d leave them on in the background for most of my work shift. Appreciate the great content, stay safe!
I've been thinking about doing something like that on this channel actually. I may shoot it later in August!
Really love those drone shot. Japan is such a beautiful country.
That countryside is so beautiful it hurts.
This was so beautiful. The camera work is absolutely perfect, editing is seamless, and the music chosen matches so well it will bring a tear to your eye. Amazing work Chris, job well done.
I’m going to japan and this music is what I want to listen to when I take off
The immense amount of production quality going into the videos is phenomenal. My favorite shot was the top down of your car with the wind in the fields. Keep up the good work Chris!
Who knew a compilation of drone shots could make you feel alive for 2 minutes
Looking forward to seeing some of those hidden spots now you have a car again. Still can't believe Natsuki went and got you non alcoholic beer though lol.
Natsuki feels the friend we need but not the one we deserve. Such a nice guy!
I can tell how much works was put in this 2 min footage. Crazy beautiful, it's JUSTICE!
1:38 I like how you had to edit the shot to get rid of the bad weather
What are you talking about?
Chris has natural blue hair.
@Gail Breslin It's the Kanji for 9, "Kyu/Ku"
Gail Breslin I just like the way the symbol looks
And the concrete
That shot from above with the wind rippling the rice fields... words fail. So lovely
Chris, I've watched your videos for years.
I went to Japan in 2018 for 3 weeks.
This is the one video you've made that makes me "feel" Japan. Thank you for this one. Love the music!!! Maybe you could make another similar one. Thanks again for your work!!
Chris you gotta make more of these
Just loved it
Certainly an enjoyable vignette of the countryside. Been over 15 years since I've been, but I'd like to be back out there.
And that end shot of Natsuki and you is 👌 *chef kiss* 👌
noice
4 years later I still think about this video all the time. It’s just so breathtaking.
This is how the Abroad anime starts with out protagonist on his way to start a journey which will see him reach new levels of sarcasm and dry-wit.
I’d watch that. 😎
I want this to happen so badly
Everyone LOVED this clip so much. Glad you made it into a separate video for all of us to just admire it's beauty. The Videography is just amazing 👏
I love how this video has more content than most people put into their 10+ minute vids.
I know right. I almost feel guilty that we get these from him for free. Top notch!
That music seeking 0:36 is really nostalgic for some reason.
Great video and simply stunning vistas
Thank you for the visual treats and just a wholesome and relaxing 2 mins 😁
Amazing views man!
2 minutes of absolute peace, zen and nostalgia. Now I just wish TH-cam had a repeat feature on their videos.
I see that Drone usage in Japan isn't as strict yet :D
Great Shots Chris!
It depends where, there are lots of places with "no drones" signs
Man I just have to say you have inspired me to take two years in japan once I complete uni and make videos like this, I’m truly thankful for giving me inspiration⛩🌄(I’m 16 atm)
Looks amazing so far well done and In love the background music
this th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
And what's the music really?
Mr. Yazero www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/ikebana
It sounds a lot like the theme from Merry Christmas Mr Laurence by Ryuichi Sakamoto
@@yourstruly2205 Reminds me of Taylor Dayne's Tell It to My Heart.
I have to say this. I have got chills watching this even after watching it many times now. This is honestly one of the best trailers I have ever seen.
Love this Chris! What's the background music? I'm loving the chill vibes 😍
Absolutely the best 2ish minutes of TH-cam in existence.
Chris was like: "Oh shit, I haven't featured in this video once yet."
This video left me with a sense of awe on how picturesque the country side of Japan can be, absolutely astonishing.
can you please post the other 12 seconds. I really need it.
I don’t think he’d ruin a masterpiece for an extra 12 seconds
Whew ... that was so cool. Thank God for Japan! .. thanks also to you Chris for your skills and effort for bringing this 2-minute montage an awesome reality. Count your blessings. Best regards to Natsuki.
Mate outstanding job with the footage, would you mind spilling the beans on what song you used in the background it's truly the epitome of relaxing
found someone commening on the main video that its Ikebana by Taizo Audio (on premiumbeat.com)
It's like a relaxing dreamscape. It's like the idealized and realistic version of what Japan is, and it reminds me of how I felt being in Japan. Wonderful shots and cinematography Chris! It's like a Makoto Shinkai movie but full circle back to real life images.

Ok and now the real song?
Sahel Kamhieh i don’t know how i didn’t see that coming

Absolutely gorgeous. I had to rewatch this a few times. I'll be coming back to this video next time I need a 2 minute escape.
Hey Chris, I just want to say that your videos are ridiculously well made. They always make me happy and made quarantine much more bearable.
You truly capture the beauty and essence if this wonderful country. BIG PROPS!!!
Would love a longer version of this to sit and daydream of Japan! So beautiful and relaxing!

The cinematic appreciation is top quality. The shots, the music, the pacing, everything is just so stunning!
That overhead shot of the ricefields, beautiful to see the wind flowing through the grass
That was a nice moment of peace on a day when my anxiety is ramping. I enjoyed the other video but just watching this version was very calming.
It's insane how beautiful Japan is
