My two favourite Japan-tubers. Optimistic-Emma and Life-is-a-waste-of-time-Chris. Honestly, these two bring happiness to anyone who watches them. Both individually and together. Pure joy.
I feel like having Chris in Australia would lower the real estate values. So it's a great idea! Let's have him over, and maybe a few people will be able to buy a house in Sydney.
When you’re ‘unattached’ (unmarried, no kids) living in Japan, it seems like people just assume you’re here to play for a bit and that you’re going to go back to ‘your country’ and resume a respectable life at some point. Hence the “when are you leaving?“ question. BUT if you start a family, join the neighborhood committee, take part in PTA etc, no one asks that anymore. Then, at least in my experience, people just accept that your here to stay. (20 years and counting!)
I think people ask because it's not easy being in a foreign country away from your own family and childhood friends…regardless if you are married with kids or not…
Depends on the person. Obviously those who care will ask but most won’t hence you feel like it’s a common question when it’s not. And it popular anywhere, people usually don’t assume people move forever somewhere and most don’t understand moving to a different country isn’t any different than moving towns to most people
There needs to be a video with Chris, Emma, and Connor. I feel like the tables would turn and Emma and Connor would team up to bully Chris, and I 'd be so here for that 🤣
Journey Across Japan has just turned into a lads weekend, hasn't it? I'd love to see a season of JAJ where Chris is accompanied by the girls of TC. That would really refresh the format.
@@anapro579 Yeah, I'd call it barely restrained contempt. In this case, Chris's abrasiveness doesn't seem to be an act -he's been offended somehow, and this is the result.
Chris promising Emma that *one day* she will be on a Journey Across Japan as the "One Last Journey" thumbnail appears on screen crushed all my dreams of seeing the chaotic duo on a road trip somewhere.
As a Spaniard that watches Chris' videos, I'd love to have Abroad in Spain, I'm sure that I would even learn new things about the country I don't know with the research that Chris does for his videos
I love how Emma tweeted that there was a video with Chris coming out soon... like a month ago... lmao I've been on edge for literally a month. Thank you.
it's a shame about the current state of the DMCA laws because it would be a dope if Chris could make a mini series where he fix's movie trailers and makes his own improved version.
But it’s sad that this channel has a collective of creators and a fraction of them follow this channel. I feel like it’s on the creators on their main channels to promote Tokyo creative
Subs don't really mean anything these days. Some people have millions of subs but only a few hundred views on their videos. Look at Tokyo creative, 225,000 subs but some videos get 25,000 views, what happened to the other 200,000 subscribers? Add to that some of the 25,000 views aren't even subs so the amount of loss from subs is even higher.
It's been 20+-years since I lived in Japan. While there, I discovered GENMAICHA GREEN TEA with Roasted Rice and it became my favorite. That I recall, I returned to the US with 3-boxes of it. Thankfully, I managed to restock it thereafter exhausting my supply, as a couple of local markets in San Francisco's Japan-town carried it.
I feel like these two have cemented their time in Japan so much that it's the only thing a lot of the audience will see them as, Japan-centric TH-camrs, so I believe that they will probably stay in Japan for quite the long time.
I’ve seen J or k bloggers quit a country and rebrand and do just fine. I know before the divorce, Simon and Martina rebranded from eat your kimchi to eat your sushi and it was pretty fun to follow.
I am mostly interested in Japan, but Chris I would watch in any country, he is just an awesome filmmaker and I have no doubt that albeit I'd miss the Japan aspect a bit, he would make awesome videos everywhere
Oh Emma, yes yes YES to the animal crossing/rain sounds playlist! I also listen to that as a beautiful lofi background when I’m hard at work 😊 so relaxing and light!
I love how even though I guessed fried chicken was Chris’s convenience store meal, I still feel that I got it wrong simply because I didn’t guess which KIND of fried chicken was his go to meal. >.
Karaage kun from Lawson was my go to thing too. Used to get it after school everyday when I lived in Tokyo in the 80s and 90s. I heard they just recently increased the price them for the first time ever.
Emma - GO SWEDEN!!! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 I'm an Aussie and lived in Sweden for 2 years when I was in my 20's - Absolutely LOVED IT! I've also been to Japan and can guarantee you're in for a *very different* cultural experience. Recommendation if you do live in Sweden: Learn the Language. It's all to easy to speak English there as most people do, but you'll never really understand the culture until you learn the language...
How long ago was this? Im born and raised in Sweden, and I have to say that Sweden has really gone down the shitter since 2015. With high crime running rampant every day, economy is really bad, everything gets more and more expensive and more stuff that i dont wanna write here. I long for the day when i can leave this country behind
@@alaner1383 i am not wrong about this , even The most leftist newpapers like Aftonbladet reports every day of shootings, murder, rape,, drugs, abuse, stabbings and more,and then there were the riots that was over 4 days on the easter weekend. Again this was reported on the leftist newpapers, ALOT dont get included there.
White Wedding and City Pop from the 80s?! Count me in Chris! Its really hard to collect old japanese vinyls overseas. When the time comes and I ever visit japan, nobody gets a gift, because my luggage is going to be filled with city pop music from the 80s. :D
They will never leave, this is their bread and butter, anywhere else they would struggle to get the content and would be forced to take an average job.
Great video! Love both channels, love these two working together. 🙂 Keep up the good work, TC! Constructive feedback: The level on Chris's mic was INSANE. Could hear every sigh and mouth noise, haha.
Changes over time. Today when you ride public transit everyone is isolated with their phone. What did we do on public transit in the 60's and 70's. Creepy as it sounds, you just stared straight ahead. No one cared of you stared at them for the full ride, they know both of you are in your own mind and did not really see the person in front of you. Superpower. To understand every culture I am visiting.
Loved the Q&A, and was surprised to see my question used as well! Thank you for answering, and look forward to seeing what the both of you come up with next here and on your channels :)
Tatsuro Yamashita documentary would be awesome, but he'd probably have to cover his own songs or not have them played at all because labels won't allow use
I don't understand why people are always so curious about when someone is going to leave the foreign country they're staying in... I just can't relate to the mindset of thinking that's important or believing someone belongs in one place over another.
I remember going back to Canada from Japan and watching this great video, called "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by some group called Nirvana. I told my friends they should watch it and they just looked at me.
This is the first video I've seen with the two of you where I didn't think you guys disliked each other lol any video I've seen with you two in it I always felt like you guys didn't get along too well lol glad to see I was wrong
I went up mount etna and it erupted 2wks before we went and 2wks after we had been..... And we climbed half way up. So that was a scary thought. Just smoldering buildings and wreckage..... Everywhere. Love the questions and answers. Great video

Does the code add extra salami?🙃
You guys should try switching Emma's microphone on for these videos. Might be better... Just a thought
My two favourite Japan-tubers. Optimistic-Emma and Life-is-a-waste-of-time-Chris. Honestly, these two bring happiness to anyone who watches them. Both individually and together. Pure joy.
My two favourite J-vloggers, with Chris's boyfriend third on the list.
@name you mean josh the anime guy?
@name do you mean Joseph Josh the Japanese Animated Cartoon Adult Male?
Hmm, don't you really mean Joey the no anime animore?
Anyone else want to see Abroad in Australia? Chris spends the week with Emma and her family seeing the local sites...
Why not with his boyfriend Connor at Joey's house?
Nah
I feel like having Chris in Australia would lower the real estate values. So it's a great idea! Let's have him over, and maybe a few people will be able to buy a house in Sydney.
No. He needs to be really uncomfortable. Maky and Matt will be his hosts.
It would be more entertaining if he spent it somewhere in the outback part of Northern Territory where there are lots of snakes, bugs, and crocs.
When you’re ‘unattached’ (unmarried, no kids) living in Japan, it seems like people just assume you’re here to play for a bit and that you’re going to go back to ‘your country’ and resume a respectable life at some point. Hence the “when are you leaving?“ question.

I think people ask because it's not easy being in a foreign country away from your own family and childhood friends…regardless if you are married with kids or not…
@@020untitled Everyone’s different. Hence asking
Depends on the person. Obviously those who care will ask but most won’t hence you feel like it’s a common question when it’s not.
And it popular anywhere, people usually don’t assume people move forever somewhere and most don’t understand moving to a different country isn’t any different than moving towns to most people
99% of people going 100% dedication in Japan do it for fortune and escapism.
It's great to see how excited Crhis is. So affable.
He is indeed affable
he is strangely reserved here isnt he...
@@gtrrohit5078 I honestly think he’s just pretty tired considerin’ he just finished a video in Okinawa which he’s gettin’ ready (As he said)
@Skelethor you may have forgotten the /s at the end of your statement -people don't seem to be twigging to what's happening in this video.
Why does everyone seem to be misspelling effable?
There needs to be a video with Chris, Emma, and Connor. I feel like the tables would turn and Emma and Connor would team up to bully Chris, and I 'd be so here for that 🤣
Honestly, i dont think bully is quite right, it doesnt seem to convey how far they would go...
Add in Ryotaro and Sharla as well, and it'd be an unmitigated slaughter
I feel like you need at least 10 of them to out bully Chris.
Emma Chris and Conner are definitely Main Characters
@@deletedwaffles the entire Tokyo Creative crew, you reakon?
Journey Across Japan has just turned into a lads weekend, hasn't it? I'd love to see a season of JAJ where Chris is accompanied by the girls of TC. That would really refresh the format.
This is a great idea
Now it has 69 likes you have to do it Chris 😝
Chiaki from the Sapporo episode long time ago is joining the next jaj (it’s a start)
As a female I say keep JAJ as it is. Chris already has videos with female youtubers
The new series literally has a girl in it lmao
I love watching Chris and Emma together! They have great chemistry 😀
I thought he had chemistry with sharla. 🤔
@@1908oceanworld with Emma seems kind of forced…but I don’t know. I’m just a follower.
@@anapro579 Yeah, I'd call it barely restrained contempt. In this case, Chris's abrasiveness doesn't seem to be an act -he's been offended somehow, and this is the result.
Aussie and Brits seem to have good chemistry
Since Sharla moved close to Chris, he has stopped making the puppy dog eyes at Emma.
I love how enthusiastic Chris is in this video
Free snacks will do that.
VERY affable 😌
He's a ray of sunshine
legendary duo, we need more of Chris and Emma
Chris promising Emma that *one day* she will be on a Journey Across Japan as the "One Last Journey" thumbnail appears on screen crushed all my dreams of seeing the chaotic duo on a road trip somewhere.
He still owes her a JAJ appearance.
I laughed so hard when Emma said she loves Cold Ones 😂 My worlds collided for a bit just then. Aussies stick together I suppose lol
Will we ever see Emma's footage from Journey Across Japan?
Highly unlikely he scrapped it because he was sick and felt embarrassed and thought the vids were just awkward to watch
We just like to see emma!
Like watching a sarcastic uncle and his bubbly niece.
As a Spaniard that watches Chris' videos, I'd love to have Abroad in Spain, I'm sure that I would even learn new things about the country I don't know with the research that Chris does for his videos
I love how Emma tweeted that there was a video with Chris coming out soon... like a month ago... lmao I've been on edge for literally a month. Thank you.
it's a shame about the current state of the DMCA laws because it would be a dope if Chris could make a mini series where he fix's movie trailers and makes his own improved version.
Journey Across Japan Commonwealth edition? Would love to see Emma, Joey and Chris on an adventure together.
Sharla and Connor could be added too if i'm correct or does Canada not count?
@@rapthor666 Canada is also a commonwealth nation.
Yea, the old British empire is a bit confusing for a non-brit sometimes. (Netherlands too btw with Saba, Aruba,etc)
It's great to see how far this chanel has come. It feels like yesterday TokyoCreative had 30k subs. they're growing at a great pace
SO agree with you! Rooting for them so hard!
But it’s sad that this channel has a collective of creators and a fraction of them follow this channel. I feel like it’s on the creators on their main channels to promote Tokyo creative
Yes , add Chris Broad, get views . Chris has that something I don't know...
Subs don't really mean anything these days. Some people have millions of subs but only a few hundred views on their videos. Look at Tokyo creative, 225,000 subs but some videos get 25,000 views, what happened to the other 200,000 subscribers? Add to that some of the 25,000 views aren't even subs so the amount of loss from subs is even higher.
@@rainyday2315 Chris' middle name isn't Affable without a reason.
Emma's notion of "music to get you pumped in the morning" is positively adorable! 😂
The background, the music, the presenters....This feels like begining of a beautiful morning TV show!
It's been 20+-years since I lived in Japan. While there, I discovered GENMAICHA GREEN TEA with Roasted Rice and it became my favorite. That I recall, I returned to the US with 3-boxes of it. Thankfully, I managed to restock it thereafter exhausting my supply, as a couple of local markets in San Francisco's Japan-town carried it.
Chris looks like a tsundere teddy bear 🫰🏼
I feel like these two have cemented their time in Japan so much that it's the only thing a lot of the audience will see them as, Japan-centric TH-camrs, so I believe that they will probably stay in Japan for quite the long time.
I’ve seen J or k bloggers quit a country and rebrand and do just fine. I know before the divorce, Simon and Martina rebranded from eat your kimchi to eat your sushi and it was pretty fun to follow.
Chris literally went to be an educator and then he became a TH-camr
What we need is ABROAD IN SPACE!!! Go for it Chris....
Seriously, these two have such great chemistry and it's obvious they care for each other quite a bit, which is lovely.
I am mostly interested in Japan, but Chris I would watch in any country, he is just an awesome filmmaker and I have no doubt that albeit I'd miss the Japan aspect a bit, he would make awesome videos everywhere
Emma and Chris are great together.
Chris need to film Taken for Garnted this year!
Oh Emma, yes yes YES to the animal crossing/rain sounds playlist! I also listen to that as a beautiful lofi background when I’m hard at work 😊 so relaxing and light!
I love how even though I guessed fried chicken was Chris’s convenience store meal, I still feel that I got it wrong simply because I didn’t guess which KIND of fried chicken was his go to meal. >.
Big sibling vibes from Chris and Emma lol Really enjoyed this video!
"My first impression was terrible, And now it's unchanged" love his brutal honesty jokes
You can't go wrong when these two do something together.
I don't know why.. they just... work xD
Release the tokidoki emma cut 1:35
Chris doing his utmost to look excited for this video 😂
Emma is absolutely glowing !
Chris got an affable aura.
i don't get how Emma's only at 325k she's so genuinely entertaining and full of LIFE!! anyways this was such a chill video, I'm still smiling!! :D
Anything with Chris I watch.
Emma's Animal Crossing answer was a vibe
And Chris' reaction tells me he needs a lil bit of that music in his life
I so hope that the new Journey Across Japan in Okinawa includes visiting Nago.
It's such an adorable place!
Emma's earrings are adorable! 🌼
Karaage kun from Lawson was my go to thing too. Used to get it after school everyday when I lived in Tokyo in the 80s and 90s. I heard they just recently increased the price them for the first time ever.

Chris said he would leave Japan after meeting Ken Watanabe!!! He must keep his word!
2 of my favorite youtubers =)
These are always super fun videos to watch!
Seeing both of them is always refreshing, thank you for the video
Great stuff!
Please read the questions out loud for those of us who are listening to the videos!
White Wedding and City Pop from the 80s?! Count me in Chris! Its really hard to collect old japanese vinyls overseas. When the time comes and I ever visit japan, nobody gets a gift, because my luggage is going to be filled with city pop music from the 80s. :D
What is the name of the artist he mentions in 21:26? I can't quite catch it. Also, rec me anything Japanese!
@@Szili0 it is Tatsuro Yamashita. He is known as the king of City Pop.
I feel like because of the tension between Chris and Emma gets sometimes that Drunk Chris and Hangry Emma would get along just nicely. =P
Yes... Back then I always call Emma, "That Tiny Apartment Girl"... Wasn't able to remember her name at first
They will never leave, this is their bread and butter, anywhere else they would struggle to get the content and would be forced to take an average job.
Emma is right cold ones are top tier entertainment
Yay, thanks for answering my question!
after looking into the youtube recommendation of chris i will never see him in the same light ever again
Great video! Love both channels, love these two working together. 🙂 Keep up the good work, TC!
Constructive feedback: The level on Chris's mic was INSANE. Could hear every sigh and mouth noise, haha.
She called the most affable person on the internet intimidating. Preposterous!
I love that Chris loves Meat Canyon!!
Cold Ones is great too omg I wasn't expecting these choices.
I love the old videos you did. Tiny apartment ✨️ 💕
chris make a short film with all your friends in japan
OMG I love that Emma listens to Animal Crossing music in the morning 😂❤️ tbh can relate

I agree Chris, White Wedding is a GREAT song to wakeup to!
Loved the video! We just moved back to the States after 8 years in Japan and it’s been an adjustment for sure.
Loved the Q&A, and was surprised to see my question used as well! Thank you for answering, and look forward to seeing what the both of you come up with next here and on your channels :)
Chris is very affable in this video
Tokidoki is awesome, literally two of the best "tubers, next to Sharla, of course.. 😀😁😇
Great video Emma and Chris! I don't know if it's the lighting or your auras, but you have a glow together! Wishing you all the best!
Can never quite work out when you two are together if you like each other or hate each other , but it works well whatever it is LOL
Two of my favorite youtubers.
With them at a wooden desk, I feel like I am in a parent-teacher meeting haha xD
Abroad in America Has a ring to it.
Emma, you've come so far since the tiny apartment videos! Enjoyed this Q&A.
I like to see emma in the next journey across japan!
i came for chris. i enjoyed my time.
Chris, do a video on City Pop god damn. Interview an old City Pop artist or something.
I second this
Dealing with Japanese record labels is a nightmare, so it's not going to happen.
Tatsuro Yamashita documentary would be awesome, but he'd probably have to cover his own songs or not have them played at all because labels won't allow use
Now expecting you in Madrid!
Emma reminds me of my Auntie back in the 90's, old school vibe aura.
I don't understand why people are always so curious about when someone is going to leave the foreign country they're staying in... I just can't relate to the mindset of thinking that's important or believing someone belongs in one place over another.
Of we ever get another huge Journey Across Japan she needs to be one again
I’m from Spain and I would love to watch a video of Chris in Spain!
And us Swedes would welcome you Emma!
I remember going back to Canada from Japan and watching this great video, called "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by some group called Nirvana. I told my friends they should watch it and they just looked at me.
nice to see these two answering some good some weird questions
No kidding, the country is a true island. I was in Japan for a year in 2000-2001 and missed the ENTIRE phenomenon that was "Who Let The Dogs Out."
Loved the JAJ 4 news, thank you I'm already excited
This was a fun one to watch guys!
Another great video, love the hair colour change Emma
Ahh loved this so much! ✨💕
"Chris does Benidorm" has a nice ring to it. Just hitch up a static caravan and you're all set!
This is the first video I've seen with the two of you where I didn't think you guys disliked each other lol any video I've seen with you two in it I always felt like you guys didn't get along too well lol glad to see I was wrong
Same here.
Usually just a bit of banter init
The denial of sexual tension is over
As a video game music fan, I'm glad to hear Emma plays Animal Crossing music in the morning 😄
I went up mount etna and it erupted 2wks before we went and 2wks after we had been..... And we climbed half way up. So that was a scary thought. Just smoldering buildings and wreckage..... Everywhere.
Love the questions and answers. Great video
my cultural shock as a citizen of india would be the cleaniness and respect to law and rules
CLASSIC PAIRING!!!
Honestly if Chris carried on the way he always had, I would be utterly satisfied.
Hey look! There goes Chris Broad... The Book Stroker!
