What I REALLY Think About Japanese Youtubers Reacting To My Videos

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2021
- A few years ago I made a video called 12 Things Not Do in Japan. In the last few months dozens of Japanese TH-camrs have reacted to it. By popular request, here's my thoughts on it all, as well as my reaction to their reaction of my reaction.
Special thanks to George Japan for taking part!

NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Here we go then. This is it folks. The pinnacle of TH-cam content. A British guy reacting to a Japanese guy reacting to a British guy! I'm not sure how we're ever going to top this. Though I hate to admit it, it was rather fun. Could this be the beginning of a REACT series?! I wouldn't count on it.
A special thanks to George Japan for taking part! I think he did a great job adding his personal experiences and cultural insights in his reaction video and it's worth a watch.

Nice
Do an live

Glad I clicked fast
We have to go deeper.
The madlad actually did it.
absolute chad move tbh
Oh hey, it's the OG man of culture.
What a madlad
I would like this post, but it already has the optimal number of likes. Nice.
i heard u talk about it with him in the Abroad in Japan podcast
Hi Chris! I’m really honored to take part in your video! Thank you so much🙇♂️
Btw, When you said “That’s not how the UK works” , I died😂
And I love the French guy🤣
Thank you again, Chris England😊
The man himself
Can't wait for the collaboration between you and Chris in the future
that cameo was badass dude.
😍😍😍
You seem like a pretty chill and humble guy
I like how one guy was like, "Nah, it's fine. Don't worry about this." And then the lady was like, "Yes. This is terrible. Never do this."
I think it varies on what area you're in. If you're near food stalls/places where you literally can't go and sit to eat like a busy shopping district, look around and see if others are also eating.
Generally, don't buy something from a convience store and then walk while eating.
They call it 'reading the air' but non Japanese struggle with this concept.
@@itsumotanoshimi We do? 😂 How'd you know? I seriously don't know if you're japanese, practicing ignorance without bothering about knowledge, or if you're a pick me weeaboo.
I also don't know which would be worse.
@@lethfuil I know because I've been teaching Japanese language and Culture to foreigners for over 35 years. DOH...How is that foot in mouth disease?
The biggest issue in social interaction and communication in Japan for foreigners is the inability to 'read the air'. Foreigners are always getting into trouble because of this and generally it is their lack of education and understanding of the Japanese culture.
Every culture has a way of 'reading the air' and unless you understand that culture very well...anyone will struggle with 'reading the air'. This is common logical knowledge everywhere in the world, it is hard to comprehend and understand anything when you do not have an education of that subject...
Weebs struggle with the concept, so they indulge further into cultural habits and over elaborate and enhance that habit or feature as they can't grasp the ability to 'read the air', so they compensate.
To attack me without just cause and reason just shows me you are an uneducated, disrespectful person that is one of those weebs that can't 'read the air'.
@@foxjm470 No I am not trying to say that and did not say that...
Don't put words in my mouth and go back and read the third paragraph.
I did not place any value on any culture high or low as this would be discrimination against the people to rate them as a lower culture than other cultures.
I said 'Every culture...' there is 'reading the air/room' it is part of all cultures and to understand how to 'read the air' is having knowledge of the culture...
who needs enemies when you got friends like Ryotoro
So... now... I react to this? 🤔
Yes Norm you should
Yep Norm ... welcome to the Twilight Zone 😱
Noo! You're to good to be doing react videos like everyone else! Lol. This was a one time Chris moment. I prefer to see your new original videos 😉
Please do. ahahahahah
In 480p please...
By day he's abroad in japan, but by night he's Chris England, the queen's 37th best agent

How do you know about this secret organisation
It was kept secret for many years
I'd watch that movie
agent 037
Been following you on TH-cam for few years, love your originality and humor. I do really think your editing and videography skills have gone up a lot over the years to almost a professional level. Keep up the good work 💪 big fan!
Here a year later to say that Yuya and Mrs Eats channels are good channels as well. Both the creators do very well videos.
Angry comment of the year: "To be honest Chris your face looks better in 480p"
That was quite a great burn XD
Omg burn🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought I was watching george but then I realized it's still Chris's video
Lmao 😂
Lmaooo
We all just want to see Natsuki reacting to your videos. Why can't we have that???
It's always cool when you see that a youtuber you like also watches another youtuber you like, even more when they're so early to the video! Your MTB videos got me through the start of quarantine when all I wanted to do was go out into nature!
Who is that?
Hanae natsuki?
I'd pay to watch him react to "Ryotaro's Japan"
@@AbroadinJapan i had no idea Ryotaro had a channel
It's genuinely interesting to see how different people react to the video. Each person has their own experiences and you've chosen a good range of age and French people.
I spent a year from 2006-2007 in Japan as an exchange student in Nara and wet to an all girls school in Osaka. I say these 12 things are true! And I have never seen someone walk and eat. Never.
Chris can I react to you reacting to this reaction?
I need this
I’d consider it an insult if you didn’t
@@AbroadinJapan I have the blessings of Family Mart Fried Chicken King.
Stop it!!! Till TH-cam did not collapse into reaction singularity!
My two favorite youtubers! I can't believe it!
instead of blowing your nose, you should try inhaling the tissue all the way through your nasal cavities. This way you don't have to worry about finding a trash can for the tissue. It will just disintegrate into your bloodstream.
Happened to me once (fell asleep with a cotton in my nose because of nosebleed), i woke up with a terrible migraine and it's only 5h later, in the plane back to Switzerland that I realized i had a thing stuck in my head... I blew my nose and I could feel the freaking cotton go down my nostril... It was disgusting but god did it feel satisfying.
LMAO
@@rinlila6974 what the- wow
I can't give you more than one thumbs up or I would.
what the fuck did i just read
Damn man, every video I see by you I just appreciate more and more. Your humour, creativity, self deprecating humour, wit, and overall really well written and produces content..thank you. Motivated me to get into studying and learning more about Japan. You offer a lot of well thought out points in your video, without rehashing other people’s points. Thanks for being awesome and approaching things in a positive light :)
What’s funny about this is that George was actually incorrect by telling his audience that you were incorrect about the stuff you said on your video. Perhaps it’s because he’s a native and doesn’t pay attention to those sort of things, but while I was stationed with the Airforce in Japan, I actually encountered all of those things, I got thrown out of a restaurant because I was not native, I was constantly cursed out and told to stop walking and go sit in a bench or a fight of stairs and not eat while walking, and George saying this isn’t true, is a complete lie lol!!! He got tons of replies stating the same thing I just said on his video. In my case it took me about 7 months to be able to read and speak Japanese, and that’s when I realized what I was doing was against their cultural upbringing, so I changed my ways and lived a super dope 2 years over there, and currently am waiting to finish my inactive contract with the Airforce to relocate back to Japan since I loved every second of living there.
I doubt Japanese people have a good image of foreign soldiers.
Meanwhile I’m wondering what your favourite tea is?
@@burkles4456 i don’t think ANYONE has a good image of foreign soldiers especially if they’re from america lol
Man, can I ask how did u learn Japanese in 7months?
That's impressive bro!

@@mekkimaru2365 doing that now but I love Abroad in Japan

@@CharlesVeitch we dont choose our face but yours look like the type who beats people like Chris
I think your inside Fukoshima video was amazing. You approached the subject with care and respect, and the way you talked to survivors was so genuine and personable. As much as I am enjoying the current journey across Japan, I still think your Fukoshima video was the best.
This dude is really good. If he does his own edits, then he's a top notch TH-camr. And he's a great actor as well. And I like the parts where he makes his videos like they're one of those informative like BBC specials about Japan. I'd love to visit Japan. Probably not live there but going is on my bucket list
I have a teacher called Chris England, he's American...
You should call him "Mr. Worldwide" instead
Must tell your teacher to change his second name to Chris Washington 👀lamo
I knew a guy in the Army whose last name was Mormon. He was a Catholic.
Pfftttt
That got me
My doctor's called Dr French and he's English
"Please be kind to me when I come to your country"
"No George thats not how the UK works." This I felt. 1000% true, loved it.
Who were the people he showed? I recognized Gordon Ramsay (Love some of his videos.) but not the other two.

@@kaltaron1284 Simon Cowell is a judge on a talent show (the X Factor, if you're interested) and I'm not really sure what Piers Morgan does but I think it's probably journalism. Both are known for being incredibly blunt and abrasive.
@@BenOlding Thank you.
lol same with US
I was subscribed to both of you guys so this made my entire day! I love it so much! Definitely one of my favorite videos. You guys should definitely collaborate more!
Chris, I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years now, and your 'What not to do...', vid was the first one I saw. I loved it for a number of reasons, including you production values. Your Fukushima doco was incredible. Keep filming in 4k, keep developing your formula, and don't concern yourself with the noise. Your a true British TH-cam gangsta! Much respect.
Having George Japan make a cameo in this was so meta I HAD to like.
I wonder how that conversation went. Mr. Japan can you please react to my video, about you reacting to my video ?
George Japan is a cool guy. Not as cool as Chris of course.
@Abu Dabu do you need a hug
"Chris England" is actually quite a nice sounding name.
Chris England, Abroad in the UK
definitely got to be a Chris Englund out there somewhere, you got Robert Englund, who played Freddie Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series after all.
Dave Kawaii
Name already taken.
true, it sounds authentic
Chris, reaction videos are a great way to share your personality and I would watch just for that. Can't say the same for 99% of other youtubers out there. All your commentary here was hilarious.
Hi chris just wanna let you know your videos are one of the best ive seen in general, like for real the quality comedy, you personality, content just everything you just make everything about your videos interesting every time so thank you for that i think you deserve way more subs ❤️
When George actually replied made me chuckle.
I loved that!
Yeah they actually collabed!
Tbh i didnt expect that!
I lost my shit at that part
I loved it when George said: "Please be kind to me" and Chris said: "Sorry George that is not how the UK works". I love Chris' sense of humor ... or maybe that was just brutal honesty 😆
“To be honest Chris, your face look better in 480p anyway. Ha!”
I died!! 😂😂😂
I wouldn't take that, Chris!
I so disagree - the longer these Corona lockdowns last the more kissable I think Chris looks!
Thug life
Hahaha 🤣
That was a "OOF-level" roast
Your sense of humor and editing is gold. 😂
I watched George Japans reaction and thats how i started watching you again. Its like advertisment for your channel.
In germany the reaction game is strong, but its a win ein for everyone.
Love your honesty and humour, mate. Hope to see more of your content.
Definitely went to go watch the Fukushima video after this one finished. I, for one, appreciate your production values and the fact that your videos are never click-baity wastes of bandwidth.
“No George, that’s not how the UK works” 😂🤣
That was my favorite line in the video XD
We speak only in sarcasm and insults ~
Never been to the UK for long, but meeting people from there online definitely does it justice
That Frenchman did it best tbh
He's not even french lmao (I'm french)
@@qqn4531 most people should know that's actually Pete
Yeah Pete is amazing !
@@SilverReviews Exactly ^^
@@SilverReviews I don't know him
love your attitude and humour. Quality and style will win, so keep going, please
To be honest, I did find you're channel by watching Japanese people react to your "What Not To Do In Japan" video. I'm honestly grateful to them, because without them, I wouldn't have given your videos a chance and ended up subscribing. :)
Also, after bingeing most of your videos, I now find it hilarious that Ryotaro was one of the reactors.
Everybody should go watch Cris’s Fukushima video to make him feel better.
Watch it to make yourself feel the feels 😊😯😧🥺😨😊
And get informed 🤔
Already watched it. Very well done and educational, but I can understand how it gets fewer views because YT is often a break from reality where you just want to be entertained.
I'm already making my Reaction video to the Fukushima vis as we speak. YOU CAN'T STOP PROGRESS!
To late been there already as well as anyone with a brain I bet who it not stupid enough to be drawn away by thumbnails with flagrantly fake expressions of shock and red circles and more red circles or red arrows
I watched the Fukushima video when it was published and not just because I subscribe to the channel. I am genuinely interested in content of this type and I actively seek it out on TH-cam.
George in Japan has some great videos. As someone studying Japanese who hopes to go to Japan one day, I love your videos too. Very helpful.
Your videos are great! Very entertaining and have helped me understand a little bit more about Japan. Really appreciate all the work and effort you put into (most of) your videos 😜 👍
Not gonna lie, I'd click on a more things not to do in Japan. Then again, I click on all of your videos.
I loved your videos
He should do a video about 12 things not to do in the UK, directed towards Japanese viewers. In English though, so they get a good taste of the general British attitude to foreign languages. :P
Oh did you change your profile pic it's very subtle but I noticed the difference.
PLEASE REACT TO GEORGE NOZUKA - TALK TO ME
AND I PROMISE YOU, ALL OF CANADA WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOU BECAUSE HE IS JAPANESE HALF WHITE CANADIAN AND MICHAEL JACKSON, THE KING OF POP IS HIS ULTIMATE IDOL 🐷🇯🇵🇨🇦
CZsWorld
Even though he's a foreigner trying to explain other people's countries?
I feel like the important thing to note is that Chris has experienced the stark contrast of life in the UK vs living in Japan. People in Japan reacting might disagree, but life in Japan may be all they’ve ever known. In comparison to life in the UK there might very well be a much greater emphasis on not blowing your nose in public or eating while walking that Chris noticed.
Yeah I came here to say this if it wasn't already said.
A perfect example is like when they start saying how plenty of people walk while eating, there's a special term for it, and there's like half a dozen places in the country where people sometimes do it without being judged and young people even drink Starbucks while walking.
To someone outside of Japan, that perspective is already culture-shock on its own. This guy just demonstrated the textbook definition of the exception that PROVES THE RULE.
Like I appreciate when Japanese TH-camrs can step out of their own shoes and say things like "oh is that even more acceptable in other places in other places in the world?" rather than the closed-minded view that within their worldview there's already some walking while eating going on in Japan, so this Englishman doesn't know anything.
Well stated... 👍👍👍🌋
And No VOLCANO stuck in my head still, thanks Chris..
As a Brit, I'm more embarrassed when I CAN'T blow my nose in public. Someone actually had a pop at me for it once.
I think we find the incessant sniffles more rude and inconsiderate than the actual act of blowing the nose once or twice. Doesn't that piss Japanese people off?
I was also thinking people might be more “harsh” towards a foreign person than a native Japanese person who “breaks the rules” . You’re already under a lot of scrutiny and if you do the “wrong thing” then someone who’s already like 👀 might easily get more annoyed.
It's really easy to miss things about your own culture/language just because it's so natural to you you don't notice it and you may not have compared it to something else before. I used to have a roommate who didn't really speak English, but absolutely insisted to me that in English, our questions ended in a falling tone if there was a 'w' question word in there. I said no way, questions have a rising tone in the end. She made me listen to myself ask me a few questions before I realized she was right😅
One thing is for sure. I cant think of any youtube channel that makes me laugh so hard. Happy I found your channel the other day cause your an icon! Keep up the great work!
Your humour never fails to make my day👍🏻 and i just love the hard work u put in every single vid.
Bdw, love GEORGE, (new generation of Nihon), too 💕💕
OMG that Japanese "mmmm" when they don't approve but they're trying to figure out how to spin it politely LOL. Brings back memories of my time in Japan. And Chris's face while mocking George saying "mmm" killed me, bahahahahaha!!!! And for real... if you have to have a set place to eat and drink while walking in Japan, then, really, you can't eat and drink while walking in Japan lol.
The exception confirms the rule.
In the US you are allowed to drive 60 MPH. So I drive 60 MPH on the sidewalk all the time. have you not seen the signs!?!? it says 60 MPH!
@@thany3 literally explained Chirs's point disagreeing with him lol
@@wweeks 60mph is the minimum
@@wweeks What point are you attempting to make here?
Don't feel bad Chris, every Japanese TH-camr is contractually obligated to react to Filthy Frank and Uncle Roger, plus one additional creator of their choice. It's an honor that they picked you!
Is always priceless when they watch content made by Georgie.
True, I even tried to recommend them to watch Calebcity videos. Most of them don't even finish the "People who think they can speak Japanese just because they watch anime" series.
Yes I watched both George and Mrs. Eats reaction videos but only after having watched your original video 😊 Your original video was so good😜 that you've spawned an entire new video genre (RX to Abroad in Japan). You must be proud 👌
I love your sarcastic acting so much. Please never stop doing it.
Me at start: "I hope George Japan doesn't take these jokes the wrong way."
*George cameos in video*
Me: "Oh, alright then cool!"
Your tsunami documentary is one of the finest pieces of cinematography i've seen in a long time.
Agree..
I agree, though it took me a little while to get around to watch it because I felt I had to get into an better mindset first, but now I'm glad I did and Chris' effort is clearly visible
I agree! I was blown away watching the documentary. It clearly showed that it was a passion project.
Wow, Chris, I love your channel more and more, I laugh a lot, thank you. Starting to find your channel to be one of my favourites.
What a highly entertaining video!😊 thoroughly enjoyed! Also…. I remember watching the original subject mater and loved that as well! Thanks!
The incredible screenshots of you were so not intentional
Lol didnt expect you to be here, im sure ive seen u in his video. Please correct me if im wrong
Not intentional but so funny!!!
I want to see a video of you reacting to his crack about Dalmatians dying for your shirt :)
Hope your chin is safe
Lol
After a few minutes in, I had to pause the video and watch George Japan's reaction video.
After finishing watching that and this video, I got to go watch your 12 things video so I can thumbs-up that video, too?
With your gift of gab, the "I resemble someone in Green Day, just pudgier" looks, the "I wonder what I can stir up in Japan" instinct and research ethics, I think you have found the right button to hit.
I was literally stopped by multiple vendors at Asakusa from walking off eating my cone ice cream and taiyakis. Was asked to finish eating at the stall itself and dispose of all packaging at the bin provided.
"Sorry George, that's not how the UK works" - had to pause there to stop laughing :D
same :'D
"Yeah. To be honest, Chris, your face looks better in 480p anyway."
OMG 😂😂
When he popped up I choked on the water I was drinking cause I was laughing so hard!
He looks better insulting anyway 😆
Now this, right here, is some quality English ribbing.
I died.
I FUCKING LOST IT HAHAHAHAHA
I watched your video first, then I was recommended George Japan's reaction video, and I watched it. Found both of them informative and entertaining. But so far, I've only watched a few of your videos. I would really like to watch your Fukushima documentary. Need to check it out next time.
For what it's worth, I watched the original video first, and it is actually the video that introduced me to this channel. That I was introduced to Mrs. Eats through her reaction vid just means I credit yours for getting me into the wonderful world of Japan-based TH-cam. I don't usually watch reaction vids TBH, though this is one case where I was actually interested to know what actual Japanese people think. It seems most of them were respectful, in any case.
I'm sure the only reason that Chris's Fukushima documentary didn't get as many views as other videos is that most people use TH-cam for light entertainment. The people in the comments who watched it all seem to have been very moved by it. Chris's regular content is always entertaining. That documentary is something special, though, that will stay with you for a long time.
100% agreed. it's a shame he may be inclined not to produce videos like that as often due to the views, but it was such an insightful watch.
I learned a lot after watching that video. There aren't many documentaries that mentions Fukushima as Chris did.
I think it was the title
It is incredible and I'm personally hoping for more such content down the road.
Totally agree I loved that video. It definitely gave me some ideas on where to go when we can travel again. We planned to do a few months travelling Japan. Then the Pandemic happend.
Although just makes us more excited to go back there now.
"Don't bother reacting to a video unless you have an original thought, or point, or perspective"
This is exactly why I'm not a fan of most reaction videos or channels. There are a handful of great videos that give helpful insight / information that's not discussed in the original video, but most end up going "haha that's funny" or "no that's wrong" but they never bother explaining why or adding anything. This doesn't only apply to Japanese react videos but a lot of general reaction videos. I remember seeing one reaction video on my recommended feed where the two people reacting didn't say anything except "wow that's crazy" once while chuckling maybe 2-3 times, then ended with "thanks for watching our reaction". I'm glad it was a short reaction video because it was a waste of time.
That aside, great video as always Chris!
You might want to check out Blind Wave. They do the most thought commentary in the reactions of all channels I've watched.
I also feel it's a bit lazy to just take someone else's video they probably spent weeks on just to react without any real input. As Chris stated if you're going to piggyback on someone else's idea at least put a spin on it to make it worthwile...or just make your own video.
With music video reactions you can really get away with it if you have the charisma, the only guy I watch often misses big details, but he’s energetic, makes good jokes and always has a positive attitude no matter the genre.
@@deet917 I get exactly what you say. I Should make an own TH-cam Channel called, React to Abroad in Japan and react rewatching all videos without adding anything useful.
I know the feeling. I watch kpop reactions and sometimes they just stare at them, no say anything at all, hardly even blink and then they say " well that was nice, subscribe for more reactions " and I am like " what reaction? "
How I feel about reaction videos is if someone has something valuable to add to the video. Like more information or a perspective that is different, I think they're perfectly fine because that's transformative.
I don't like reactors who just sit there and laugh and add nothing. I sit there and laugh at videos, I don't need to see someone else to do exactly what I did but the only difference is they are recording themselves. We all know the types.
So I prefer watching experts in a field reacting to a video. Like historians reacting to history, doctors reacting to medical videos etc because they have insights that expand on the points in the video or call out what is wrong and praise what is correct.
If someone has absolutely nothing to add to the video, that's not a reaction in my eyes, that's just trying to make easy money off someone else's hard work. Just my opinion of course.
I actually enjoy just watching people laugh to a video because I’m bad at expressing emotions and it feels weirdly liberating seeing someone express the emotions that I’m feeling. But I also understand that from a creator’s perspective these reactors are making easy cash by using a video they worked hard on.
The roasts on this are of epic proportions. Loved every second man, good video!
That Fukushima video was incredible, I’d honestly love to see more in-depth stuff like that
I totally agree
Agree, maybe it doesn't reflect in the views, but mostly spending time on youtube (even vids of chris) leave me with a sense of "shit I could've done something more productive in this time", unless the vids show in-depth stuff or informative things. Like the Fukushima ep, so yeah, make more like those please :)
I’d like to see somebody reacting to it.
Me too. Its rare to see videos of that quality on youtube.
100% think the Japanese perspective on what not to do in Japan is skewed because it's their country. They don't get looked at like they just crapped in the street if they cross at a red or eat while walking, etc. But foreigners occasionally do because we already stand out and so us not following the standards of politeness sticks out too. Whereas a Japanese not following them just looks like someone not overly concerned with the rules, a foreigner not following them is evidence that we are ignorant or impolite by those who want to judge others. Not all Japanese are so eager to judge foreigners of course, but there are scolds in every society.
yeah cant take foreigner opinion
if you cant take other complain, how do you improve your company,your self, country
I thought the same thing--I bet a local has very different experiences than a foreigner, and probably can get away with more without attracting negative attention. And personally, if I want to know what how I should behave as a foreigner in Japan, I'd probably rather hear from a foreigner in Japan.
It actually works the other way around... Foreigners in Japan often receive the "foreigner pass" whenever they do something stupid or unrespectful.
@@Omar_Al_Seddik I live in Japan... sure, often foreigners get a pass because Japanese are generally tolerant and understand cultural differences. But that is not always the case, and like I said, since Japanese can immediately see you're foreign, some who are less forgiving of faux paus WILL be *more inclined* to judge you. That's why it's important to know what the general expectation is. You can still disregard it as some Japanese occasionally do, but you should do so knowing that you are likely to attract more attention for it and shouldn't expect not to be judged for it. I've gotten the look before and even comments (usually by older Japanese) and the further out of Tokyo you are, the more likely you are to get looks or comments - whether it's because you're not covered up enough or you're being loud on a train.
Every one has their own experience. Full disclosure, I’m Asian American and blended in physically. When I broke those rules, I’m embarrassed about it but Japanese strangers wouldn’t even care once they know I’m a foreigner. It’s not like there is an ethical or righteousness police to arrest you if you break the rules. My obvious foreign friends who were non-Asians would get the stares and reaction but it never became a scene. I asked my Japanese friends and locals about this and they said foreigners are making it a bigger deal than it needs to be. That’s why more Japanese are making “Reaction” video to tell Chris it’s not a big deal.
I’ve watch the original, I’ve watched Mrs Eats and George’s reaction, and now I’ve watched his reaction to their reaction of his reacting video.
My work here is done.
This was really good as it shows just how heavily the social norms change depending on which parts of Japan you are in. Really helps to show how different some of the Japanese areas and their culture is.
Chris finally getting the clout he deserves.
Hahahaha
Thanks dad
hello young gojo satoru
It has always been Chris' dream to become an influencer 😉
Should probably check in with a doctor about that. Uric acid innit
This is bringing me a level of joy I didn't think was possible.
One time I requested and hugged a Japanese person who is an idol to me.
I was not the only one there who hugged him, but this memory still makes me feel ashamed and keeps me awake at night, even after several years it happened. I just decided that I am better left never ever hugging any humans in my entire life.
I don't think this is an issue, if they have an idol status in foreign countries they are also aware of their habbits, and she they might be uncomfortable but you asked they very much had a chance to deny you.
Like george said if they come to us they are also trying to fit in.
Hey, I really want to be honest, MrsEats actually did good by you. Her channel is part of the reason I got introduced to your channel. And I have loved your channel. I literally binged your videos recently, including ones I had already watched!
Same actually! I was just watching her videos about why you might hate living in Japan and it recommended Abroad in Japan.
I really enjoy Mrs Eats channel too!
I love Mrs. Eats channel, and would be very interested to see a collab between Chris and her someday. Doubt he'd do it, but I'd be down for it.
She's a sweetheart, & I love her humor. She was so funny when she explained what kancho was, lmao
they didn't roast him so he roasted himself
As a good British person should do. LOL
"George is humble he's barely in the frame of his own video" had me chocking on tea 😂 It's okay Chris, they're riding on the tail of your success.
I originally watched George Japans reaction video and wandered over to your channel and been here ever since, I also watched the original but can't lie George is just so cute that I can't not watch him 😍
This was honestly the most enjoyable reaction video I've ever seen.
"Your face looks better in 480p" is going to be my new insult.
1:14 Linus explaining why he needs 16K cameras and then this person does 480p uploads 🤣
Hey Iron, could you please stop following me around the internet? XD
What's up Haigs, a fellow War Thunder weeb
Why is iron suddenly everywhere
@@supakritpulmanausahakul1650 because I enjoy leaving comments
I upload in 720p, I think, or I messed up the settings and its lower, oho well you can still see something, who needs 4k anyway, everybody watches TH-cam on a damn phone anyway...
I laughed my ass off watching your videos and they’re also very interesting! keep up the good work ❤️
'a fraud in japan: destoryed with words and logic' made me cackle
Freaking brilliant! What a lad!
I used watch your video few year ago
Gaijin Goombah! Love your work, dude!
Hey GG! 👋
PLEASE REACT TO GEORGE NOZUKA - TALK TO ME
AND I PROMISE YOU, ALL OF CANADA WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOU BECAUSE HE IS JAPANESE HALF WHITE CANADIAN AND MICHAEL JACKSON, THE KING OF POP IS HIS ULTIMATE IDOL 🐷🇯🇵🇨🇦
Lad? More like thad
Aww I love George
I watched the original video, saw George’s reaction a while later, and am now watching this 😂
10:37 😂😂😂😂😂 your reaction when she said that xD
I like British sarcasm. They put truth to the dark aspects of things whilst making it entertaining.
Brits are good and funny also they good
@@user-ri5oc5rw5b Too bad they have to live in Britain
@@cooldud7071 yes, rain bad
Yeah their country is a shithole where it rains every day and the only beer they get served at the pub is guinness. Can't blame em
Careless memories?
There was a retweet by Neil Gaiman this week: "I love and enjoy good critical writing, but I do like to remind them every now and then that, while we can do our job without them, they can't do theirs without us."
what does it have to do with this video?
@Mog X yup
In the quote "their job" = making reaction videos and "our job" = making the videos they are reacting too.
Reaction videos are a kind of critical writing.
your humour is actually hilarious LMAOOO idk if its just a brit thing but I have been laughing nonstop
Laughed so loud watching this . Your brilliant mate . Love from London
Haha...glad to see "George Japan" had a good sense of humor about it and was willing to do an appearance!
Chris be like "Is no one gonna roast the hell outta me Gordon Ramsey style? Fine I'll do it myself then!"
This has to be one of my favourite Chris Abroad videos xD. “A FRAUD in Japan” 😂😂, that got me rolling, along with the rest of the gold in the video
This was hella fun to watch, thanks for the upload mate.
I don't mind reaction videos; really have no issue with them, but the TH-cam algorithm pushes them waaaaay too much. I see them plastered all over my home page. TH-cam sees I watched a thing so it assumes I'm interested in seeing someone's reaction to that same thing. It's basically the modern day of version of reply girls, minus the cleavage on the thumbnail.
I'm all for reaction videos as I do get a kick out of watching people react to my own videos, but the TH-cam higher ups do need to limit the amount of exposure they get. Push content that has effort put into it! Don't reward people for just sticking a camera in front of their face and reacting to someone else's hard work.
omg you were the first person I ever subscribed to, I remember begging my dad to help me set up a gmail account so I could subscribe after your Harry Potter review
I'm getting bombarded with them over the last week, they all have the same reactions really nothing controversial or critical.
FBE react: 👁️👄👁️
this
That's true overall. Watch a couple of videos on any subject, and suddenly the algorithm hits you with a wall of all of the same type of videos. Really annoying.
I think the fact that every Japanese TH-camr has a different reaction is just proof that Japan is not some totally homogenous unit with ironclad cultural rules of conduct. Even in Japan, everyone's a little different. (I think Chris' list was solid as a general rule of thumb though.)
At the point that they’re doing TH-cam those people are already outside of the “Japanese norm”
6dm Good point haha
@Sir Kyushu I think you're assuming this is an ethnic thing? And not just meaning homogenous in a more general way?
@Sir Kyushu I'd assume other people assume that japan is very collectivist and the people there never really stand out. Like china but with less cardboard skyscrapers.
@@cooldud7071 if you actually look into China though and its people, they’re not really homogenous
Hilarious. Bit of an inception getting here. Saw the original some time ago, George's reaction was recommended, and as I watched that, scrolled under to see this one recommended, and here I am, full circle.
The documentary on Fukushima was one of my favorite videos you made at the time I watched it.
George is like the most adorable thing ever. "please be kind to me" "No George that's not how the UK works." I almost passed out laughing, but so true Chris. 😂
[shows pictures of Gordon Ramsay, Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan]
@@CeruleanFilms Wait Gordon Ramsay is british?
@@eyexha yes... hes literally from scotland, yknow, one of the countries in britain. where the fuck did you think he's from, have you never heard him speak?
Chris mocking the reaction trend while dressing up as a homeless man is exactly why I love him and his content.
we need more Berry Reaction
What do you mean homeless man ? That was poor Dave, who has been locked up for months and finally let out for a few minutes to help with this video 😉
Very funny, Chris!
I'm from Texas. Your British accent is nice...very authentically British.
I hope you continue to get more subs and more views.
Mrs Eats' videos keep getting better and better. My two favourite youtubers, you and Mrs Eats.
Agreed. Mrs Eats is great. Really nice, funny, and informative.
