- In preparation for my Japanese friends first trip to the UK, we sat down to discuss British culture, covering everything from Harry Potter to Chavs, Restaurant etiquette to the Queen - complete with "combat training".

England Grandma Is My new Favourite Phrase
Kazuto Kirigaya same :D
ケン カネキ ARE YOU FROM JAPAN?!
Yes I'm from and live in Sendai
へっぉ い あ あうぇっ
Lelouch Vibritannia oh, shut up
Are British people not wizards, because if not then my childhood was a lie.
If I believed my childhood England would be full of Graham Chapmans and John Cleeses.
Are American people not MacGyver's and Texas Rangers? If not...
Fanta711 no no they are fat honey bo bo's
I felt the same when I watched your videos about Japan.
***** Apparently we are. And we're all really fat too.
God save the England Grandma
Long live the England grandmother
Send her victorious happy and glorious
@@motojiro Or how Google Translate stated it: "Happy and burgers."
On her grandmotherness' secret service
Hail to the England Grandma!
Chris: "Oi, oi, oi. What you looking at? "
Natsuki: "You"
Chris: N-No! Okay just say nothing
Natsuki: "Nothing"
Chris: Okay, let's try that again.
Natsuki: "Oi, oi, oi. What you looking at?"
Natsuki: "I TRY--KARATE STYLE"
I FREAKIN LOVE NATSUKI!! 😂😂😂
Is it just me or is Natsuki a person who's presence just triggers laughter and happiness? Lucky you found him Chris!
Samuel R he’s an absolute treasure
Truly a gem
He's a super nice guy. We could all use a Natsuki in our lives.
Late on this but @Samuel R your avatar is great. Love the album.
They're dating?
Nasuki's intinct was right. Rapping is the most dependable way to disarm a chav.
That, or throw a bag of meth on the ground.
@@zeropoint546 giving any wanna be thug a bag of meth,is far from disarming them lmao
Try doing that to a roadman 😂🔪
We need to bring that dude to England. He'd become a Chav-destroying Chuck Norris, and the people would build statues of him in commeration of his visit.
+ShehzaanA Abdulla Closer to Bruce Lee, I'd say.
+ShehzaanA Abdulla Thought that was unfair on 'the underclasses'.
should make a movie out that idea
Chavslayer
Wow, I don't know what I've stumbled on here lol seems to be just rich folks saying to attack poor people because they're poor.
"Oi, I'm fucking Natsuki."
-Natsuki introducing himself to Chris' family
And then instantly shows his karate moves hahahaha
AlertF16 and then raps
IRON1I7 11/10
Oi, I'm fucking Natsuki, mate.
オイ、アイ’マフキン夏木 is probably how it'd sound.
"I'm fuckin' Natsuki" - Nobody has earned the right to introduce themselves that way as much as Natsuki has.
Er ok.
Omg the chav picture hahahaha
There's hot and then there's that guy.
Abroadin Japan Pretty sure that guy is the definition of Hot :P
it's fairly accurate xD
My mate Big Kev seen in the picture says he's 'not 'appy he coloured my beautiful eyes in' and is going to 'do you' when he see's you. Only fair to warn you
aka shithat
ENGLAND GRANDMA!
Mint Mochi
(On a side note, I live in the UK and have hardly ever eaten a fry up! If I do, I have it for lunch.
Strawberry Muffin
OH.
IS THIS YOUR ACCOUNT?
Get an icon u N00B.
+Mint Mochi It's true.
That picture of the queen looks exceptionly evil.
God Save England Grandma
And you must always cheer or go 'wheeyyy' if someone breaks a glass at a pub. I was at a English themed pub in Japan once and a glass smashed... there wasn't a single wheyy...
NeithXD They don't understand our humour :'(
They should have gone to York or something, the North has always been a friendlier place.
I smashed a plate at school once and that happened.
TheSadLittleOne Hell0Bob
I always find it sad though when it's still plated with food and gravy...
+NeithXD As someone who has worked as a bar back and dropped glasses regularly I can confirm this statement. Literally every time. Gotta love our attitude of "wheeyyy you fucked up" :p
+James Wilkes Yeh the north has always been friendlier with all that casual racism
"No Shit, No Fucking" - Natsuki traveling motto
And what a motto it is.
If he successfully does both, there can be little doubt it'll be all clear mission.
Please, for the love of all that is good in the world, tell me there will be some videos from the trip to England.
There will!
Abroadin Japan *starts violently tapping toes in anticipation*
Abroadin Japan we are still waiting chris. Hurry up.
Abroadin Japan Still waiting...
Abroadin Japan STILL WAITING
"who is this"
"my friend"
oh my god natsuki is too funny
Alizee fancy seeing you here!
Hello
Natsuki is brilliant. Seems like such a nice happy person.
Their look of disgust at the fry up is priceless.
I nearly gagged at that photo, ngl
Shaun G Beans
I read the Harry Potter books, but I still haven't cleared the whole mission.
Well don't worry - apparently to successfully "all clear mission", you only need to read the first 5 books.
Abroadin Japan Happy new Year Mate ;D
Maybe there is something you can conclude from the first five that alters the meaning of the last two or gives unique insights if understood... Who knows. Maybe it's like the bible code or something.
Abroadin Japan What does "All clear mission" mean anyways?
Chris: "Who is this" (holds up a pic of The Queen)
Natsuki: "England Grandma"
I lost it 😂😂😂😂 lmao!!!!
@@ElZamo92 🤣🤣🤣
I love how Natsuki is so willing to try to express himself in English. You can see his uncertainty at times, but he’s always willing to give it a try. I love his openness to new things.
6:55 That dog on her lap looks really ill.
hahaha, probably the best comment i've ever read
Abroadin Japan hahaha, i cant stop laughing
hahahahahahaha
LMFAO xD
Cheers for my weekly chuckle.
You should add an "All Clear Mission" shirt to your wonderful line of shirts and apparel.
It's definitely the best line I've heard this year so far.
Was Natsuki saying "Korean version'? Or really 'All clear Mission'?, I'd umistakebacally like to know!
i think we should have Natsuki on a shirt tbh, that would really exceed the sky of time
Paul H definitely all clear lol
"Hello, I'm fucking Natsuki" hahaha xD I hope no one introduces themselves like that xD brilliant
His wife can say that 😏
'Maybe I can try friendship' goooooooosh, so sweet
Natsuki used friendship karate style. It's super effective, Chav fainted.
Hooray a new video!
England's grandma hahaha oh god, that was hilarious.
I laughed for about 10 minutes to the point of choking.
(Thank god I cut that out).
I think his wife had absolutely no idea what's going on.
pacific rim- what british people think of japanese people
Code geass- what Japanese people think of British people
Lol CG is brilliant.
+June 06 Anime is brilliant😂
+THE Nab J Yeah anime in general is a good reason for living, lmao.
ALL HAIL BRITTANIA!!!
+Brandon Luong
Did you just say,"Gott strafe England!" ?
"Ridiculous names like Ringo, Dumbledore and James" lol
I had this exact conversation at least 3 times in Japan.
'Where are you from?'
'England'
'Ooohhhh England, The Beatles! Where in England are you from?'
'Manchester'
'Ooohhhh Manchester United! Kagawa! Yeah!'
Beffinee There are many countries unfamiliar to the English, aren't there? Is it surprising that another country is unfamiliar with England?
When im in another country, most people smile and make a smoking gesture when I say im Dutch...
Stefan Voorhout ☺🚬
(I hate emojis for the record)
I miss Kagawa now. He was a great player for us.
seriously we asian only know manchester united
James isn't a ridiculous name! It's a brilliant one!
I deliberately put that in there to make every James watching this video spill their coffee in rage and disgust.
And yet, bizarrely, I have no idea why I chose the name James.
I think maybe it's because I like the name James.
So my relationship with the name 'James' is similar to how guys are often mean to a girl that they secretly fancy.
- Good luck deriving value from that absurd explanation
Abroadin Japan True James' do not drink coffee, we only drink the finest tea available.
Abroadin Japan coffee? I think you meant tea.
***** As another James, I approve this message.
Abroadin Japan
Clearly you were making reference to Harry James Potter.
(0_o) Where did you get that picture of Queen Elizabeth II. She looks like an evil ogress about to eat the photographer.
She reminds me of Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.
+Ryan Malcolm McGuinness When he's about to zap somebody's ass with his lightning maybe.
+Ryan Malcolm McGuinness "Goooood. Let the tiffin flow through you."

tiffin?
That's great about raising your hand I the UK when out to eat. In the US your supposed to just give the waiter Bambie eyes until they come to you.
It's okay to raise your hand in the US. Also don't forget to leave a tip. A waiter makes most of his pay from tips. Occasionally you find people who cheer when a waiter breaks something. Many restaurants have switched to unbreakable dishes. It's extremely uncommon for people to say grace before meals at a restaurant.
"Oi, wha u lookin' at?"
"You"
Perfect.
I'm so glad you are starting to post videos again ^^
Haha dont worry I didn't go anywhere (well the UK for a bit..to make more videos!)
that is a creepy photo of the queen
Ryan Hines Unlike the photos where she appears to have normal human emotions.
Ryan Hines Taken by David Icke in one of his most inspired moments.
Reptilians aren't too photogenic! 🐍🐲
That is a ugly face and that is the true.
As a British guy in Japan, I can't wait to see your next videos, and what they think of our 'culture'! xD
Everything went down well!
The only thing that went down abysmally was Wagamamas!
Abroadin Japan you should have taken them to Bone Daddies in Soho, really curious as to how it compares to ramen in Japan
I must say that sushi from Wasabi in London was pretty awesome. Maybe it was because I ate it at the end of my stay for 9 months eating British meals though.
eclairstill Yeah even I was surprised by the sushi at Wasabi - its actually not too bad
I haven't particularly heard of the UK having bad sushi, in fact most of the Japanese people I've talked to said it was
up to par. However... that price... 100 yen sushi for me please!
finally found a decent British youtuber in Japan
U shud b saying EUREKA
Your accidental Japanese noise "weeeeeeh" was hilarious.
"hows your meal?"
"Very good, fuck off"
Brit to brit, fucking love you dude
"No shit, no fucking" LOL
Morals for a good life
DAYUM
Abroadin Japan
And never put the two together! =D
Words of wisdom from Natsuki.
I want a GIF of "All Clear Mission"! Great video Chris!
**Shows a picture of Harry Potter**
"Oh, my friend."
Omg, I love your Japanese friends!! Especially Natsuki, he's the funniest to me.
I love how Nastuki's wife is all business when listening! She looks so focused the whole time...
It's only a new bloody video! I've been waiting foooorrrreveer... or you know, 1 week after finding your channel and watching all your other videos.
Your description of Heathrow Airport is the best I've ever heard.
"A cross between a shitty bus station, a poorly run shopping mall, and a neverending fucking nightmare". So accurate.
BlackManiaGaming so true.
Just came back from Japan...to Heathrow. Everything was suddenly broken or dirty or delayed again. Welcome to the UK. :)
Oh, how I love this video! Lived in the UK for a few years. I wish someone had told me about "are you alright?" Greeting. For the first day I thought something was wrong with me. That night I told my British husband and he very rightly pissed himself laughing. Since then I've adjusted and love it here. It is so good of you to share that with your friend and his wife.
I LOVE NATSUKI. the more videos of him i see the more i love him
Chav culture is a whole thing in itself! Natsuki would have them running though, especially with his karate and secret agent lingo. I know I would run if I spotted him doing that while repeating "All clear mission!" Absolutely brilliant!
Every time I hear about them i'm reminded about clockwork orange.
Natsuke is always very stylish, I am sure it would fit well in the London hipster community.
They look so excited for going to UK. God bless the grandma
Chav: "Oi, wha you lookin at!??"
Natsuki: "you" *smiles*
hahaha innocent naivety at it's best, at least he could use karate if worst came to worst
Natsuki is gold. I hope you have a lifetime of good friendship (even after you leave Japan, which I won't see happening for any fucking reason whatsoever). We will patiently wait for the next vids to come :)
The things I associate with Britain (as a German): Union Jack, British Grenadiers, Buckingham Palace, the Queen, British Empire, British knights (including Robin Hood), British winegums, Winston Churchill, tea, fish and chips, multiculturalism, cricket, rugby, beer and pubs (including Irish coffee), pale and blonde and red-haired people, houses with red bricks, tanks, ships and warplanes.
YamatoClass Interesting.
The things I would stereotypically (not seriously) associate with Germany (As a Briton): Sausage, Beer, Bierocks, Accordions, BMW, Volkswagen, Lederhosen, Seductive voices, Receding hairlines, ruddy faces, Beer, Steins, gotta get some of that Schwartzwalder kirschtorte, Oktoberfest, Amazing medieval weaponry, Bavarian ham, Beer, and (please don't slap me for this) i dunno, the Wehrmacht?
:) xxx
James Wilkes Hahahahahha...wwwooooowwww! Awesome! You really think that we have seductive voices?
Yeah, the Wehrmacht. No, I think no German would get angry about that; I think there is still a lot of sympathy for them, especially among the youth. Of course not because of the crimes of the national socialist regime but because of the men who served in the W. were simply soldiers and because of German military technics from WW2 of course.
YamatoClass
You're absolutely right, despite being on opposing sides, we were still all human, and with most white citizens of the UK having Germanic ancestry, it makes it even more strange and stupid. WW1 and 2 were both stupid wastes of lives and resources, and a lot of people here still like to boast of it as "A great success for Britain" but it wasn't, we got into great debt, and hundreds of thousands of young lives were lost on both sides. War is never a success, at all.
On a more positive note (I should stop being so grumpy) I really like Wine Gums too, we should share some one day when I manage to visit Germany, and we can drink plenty of wonderful Bier :D
And by the way, what are the best comercially available beers from Germany, I might order some online and stick them in the refridgerator. We Brits pride ourselves on "Real ales" you should check some of them out, they can have really funny names!
James Wilkes You're welcome, buddy^^. Yeah, here in Germany factories usally print the Union Jack on everything that is "typical British"; maybe thats why young people like associate wine gums with British food, hahahaha...
We do have a pretty positive attitude toward Britain here. I think I've never heard anyone saying something negative about Britain. We just love your culture, your country and your landscape: beautiful, medieval castles, witches, vampires, ghosts, Harry Potter, Macbeth, Mary Stuart, tradition are also things we associate with Britain. I mean, there a so many positive things people talk about when they mention England or Britain that I dont think we have any negative stereotype at all, to be honest.
I must confess that I dont drink beer generally :P . I'm a physics student and I dont have much time for going out and stuff, and to be very honest, I dont like the taste of beer. I like "Fassbrause" by Krombacher. Thats a beer I definately could suggest. It tastes fruity.I live in Frankfurt on Maine, by te way.
Hmmm, I've always found beer to be a strange taste too, but I always find the local stuff is alway better, and sometimes cheaper! I always go for a brand called "Desperados" but Hollows& Fentiman's Ginger Ale is the nectar of the gods...
But cheers man, it's nice to know all that positive stuff, I guess it's only the football hooligans and the grumpy old fogeys who complain about anything like that!
We need more of this guy reacting to things. He's awesome.
My god, Natsuki is the best. Just the banter both Chris and Natsuki come up with is just the best.
Wow, Natsuki's English has gotten quite good! I'm impressed!
its definitely come a fair way in the last 18 months! It'll be eerily strange when he becomes fluent sometime this year or the next!
Never knew I needed natsuki to do an impression of snape, but now I sure do ❤️
OMG ... my belly hurts.. to much laughter... greetings from sweden!
Ramyam greetings from Canada!
Great video! Editing was fantastic. Lost my shit at the "all clear mission" part. Looking forward to the next instalment.
The Brit stereotype is that we are all wizards? I can live with that... xD
Harry Potter All Cleared Misson my favourite anime series
"No shit, no fucking" - Natsuki
Man you sense of humor combined with Natsuki is just great combo. Anyway wanted to congratulate you this TH-cam channel you have made is under appreciated & more people should be subscribing/watching. I rarely comment on TH-cam, but I felt compelled to.
I think you did a good job preparing him. "alright, mate?" is enough to get you through any night in Britain. haha
Every time, England Grandma gets me. Also Natsuki calling Harry Potter his friend is too funny.
Wow. I've just learned that Natsuki is a kind and likable person...who could totally KICK A HOOLIGAN'S ASS.
*Extends hand* "I'm fucking Natsuki"
I nearly spat out my tea.
I think Natsuki may be the greatest human being in existence
Next time you are in the UK, come to Birmingham and let me meet him
If you can cope coming to Birmingham
He can cope anywhere if he tries karate style or friendship, all clear mission.
@J M Na Birmingham is alright ya know. Some mint restaurants and bars.
That is the creepiest picture of the queen ever taken....and she has a lot of creepy pictures.

That's EXACTLY how I feel when a waitress asks me how my meal is. "Go away, I'm trying to eat!"
Another line for your T-shirt: All clear mission.
Now that's a shirt I would buy
Abroadin Japan I will buy too *wink* but after I get rid the student loan.
xxMapSyrxx keep the loan, you might be able to join the Margarines 2! ;D
I love your videos and your British sense of humor!
As a Japanese guy who lived in Bristol for 9 months last year, I'm looking forward to seeing your next video so much!
I didn't try Wagamama cuz it didn't look like a real Japanese restaurant... but I should've tried it so that I can talk about how good/bad the restaurant was.
The trick is to go in thinking its more of an "Asian Fusion Restaurant" (whatever that really means). Then you won't be too disappointed ;-)
Abroadin Japan Thank you for your reply ;) Yes I get your point!
Anyway, I cracked up at the "rap" part. :D
You're very lucky to have met someone like Natsuki, he seems like such a genuine, good person.
I've literally seen like three videos with Natsuki in and he's just the best 😂 he's got so much personality.
I went to Japan for the first time in March and I've basically been depressed about being back in the UK ever since. This channel is an absolute god send.
"No shit, no fuck" -Natsuki
I liked her "ahh shit hat" comment haha
What a lovely couple your friends are! Hope the UK holiday was great for everyone.
Can't wait to see the whole trip in video.
So I'm dozing off while watching a documentary about the gardens at Buckingham Palace, and they're showing flowers planted for special occasions like the Queen's 70th bday. One of them has a plaque naming the flower "London Calling ". Do I think of the Queen? Do I even think of The Clash, who accompanied many of my more obnoxious times when I thought I was invincible? No! I can only picture Natsuki!!! You are a terrible influence, Chris!!!!
hahah outstanding. And what a fabulous sounding documentary!
Whenever I heard London Calling I think of Natsuki, as it was the first song we ever did at karaoke together! (on the same night I met him)
Why are there so damn many accents from such a small island nation? It is even crazier that just London has like 4 or 5... that's just 1 city. I guess you can sort of run into the same thing in the Northeast of America.
Same in every traditional countries exceps except for immigrant countries like america australia...
***** Yes Aussies have normal Aussie and a bogan accent.
I played WoW with Aussies for years, and they as English speakers have the most distinct ability to turn off and on accents from other places. The ones I played with could be in game chat sound just like an American/Canadian. When they talked to someone out of game, while their mic was still on, they would speak with a full on Aussy accents. Never heard anyone do that as well on command from anywhere else. I'd imagine it has something to do with being online gamers for so many years, growing up communicating with people outside their local dialects for hours a day. Online games on English speaking servers are almost totally dominated in numbers by Americans.
The U.S has plenty of different accents, this is due to their beginning mixed origins (some parts would have Spanish mixed with other things instead of a British accent mixed with other things). Australia doesn't really have too many official different accents though, it's really just 3 versions of the same accent. This is due to having a single origin, regardless of the mixing that occurred later it doesn't have a strong effect on the main accent, as it is already a stable throughout the entire country and is hard to change.
I think the different accents in the U.K can be attributed to things far back in history. It used to be (most of Europe was really) a collection of tribes. I assume these tribes had different accents to each other, later others immigrated and invaded(like the Normans) bringing new accents which would have mixed.
Oh and one final pandering, some of the "higher-class" people at some point pushed for their accent to sound more "posh" more, sophisticated. To set themselves apart from the common folk. This could have created more accents too.
There are heaps in Australia. Based on location, and there cultural background.
Not much different vocab but we have a big problem with potato scallops/potato cakes and potato fritters.
You are my favourite Jvlogger on TH-cam - teaching them what a chav is, indeed!
Plz videos from your trip to the U.K. !!!! Love the videos and you have really assured me in wanting to learn Japanese. Keep the videos coming!
It's okay Natsuki, my heart is Barney too . Excited to see what shenanigans you guys get up to in the UK.
In Brazil people usually associate the British accent with "the Queen's English". As if everyone was posh and spoke slowly and very clearly. It was then quite an adaptation when I spent four months in London and had to try and understand all those different accents. I really miss that city!
Brilliant video mate. Im well envious, i'd love to live in Japan, they seem like such great down to earth people. I think Britain and Japan share a good relationship. I mean like, we're both islands, both have monarchies have similar tastes in humour and similar sort of rules and respect for etiquett. You've gained a subscriber here
You should do more of these videos Chris. Bring Japanese to England , and do a reverse of your entire channel. It’s utterly fascinating. Great to watch. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Natsuki makes me laugh so much. Awesome video
Where can i get a friend like natsuki!? I need someone whos that damn positive
Natsuki's wife seems very nice. She didn't even need words to speak. Her eyes said everything.
Just finished watching all videos on the channel! It's a very entertaining channel and just wanted to say thank you very much for sharing all these magnificent videos.
Hope you upload the Natsuki in the UK videos sometime; they seem like they'd be hilarious. Well, whatever you upload next, I'll be there to watch it! Keep up the great work!
Natsuki is hilarious xD can't wait to see him in the UK, Good video Chris :D
Wow, Natsuki has clear insight into British culture and traditions.
In the UK, when you eat dinner, the waiter always comes to your table. "Is everthing okay?"
[in Japanese] "Sounds busy."
Omg natsuke is so young xD
YOW GUYS YOU SHOULD DO A SERIES. WILL DEFINITELY WATCHED EVERY EFFING EPISODE
It's good to see that you're teaching the Japanese such important lessons! ;)
Oh btw.. Maybe I missed a video or maybe my memory is just shit, but where/how did you meet Natsuki?
Drunkenly stumbled into each other down town one night! Spent all evening singing 80's rock music at karaoke. Became very good friends thereafter!
Abroadin Japan Ah, I thought he might be a coworker or something. The actual story was much better though. ;)
Abroadin Japan hiya you and your friend are hilarious btw but have you taught him about queuing lots? what about how often you say sorry in England?
Abroadin Japan Obviously the makings of a beautiful friendship.
Scarlett Dimeloe "Queuing' the japanese are experts at patiently queuing!
Your description of Heathrow is brilliant! :D
I’m watching your videos in a random order, lovin’ it
This is wholesome, like it generally just puts a smile on my face. It was interesting to see how your friends reacted and honestly I hope London was as nice to them as they are to you. Thanks for the video Chris 👍
Chris,
Your videos are truly amazing! I find your positivity and creativity and smart-assery (making up words now to describe your awesomeness) to be mesmerizing and inspiring. I've watched your 'learning Japanese' videos several times in order to get over the fear I've had of not being able to learn another language. Still haven't made it past chapter 10 in Heisig's 'Learning the Kanji', but I'm working on it. I hope that Natsuki and his wife enjoy their time in the UK and wish all of you safe travels! Perhaps one day you all could come visit the US. In fear of sounding like a gushing fan-boy, I'll stop here and just say; thank you, and please keep the videos coming!
who marked this wonderful comment as spam?? >:C
Thanks man, I'm really glad the videos have been useful/entertaining in some way!
Also, its funny you should mention chapter 10 in Heisig, as I think thats where I gave up for a few weeks as well (by that point you're starting to get in the thick of it afterall).
But persevere and the rewards will be great I can assure you! :-)
Best of luck mate
Abroadin Japan Thanks, man. I'll do what I can to persevere. Good luck on the bet, by the way!
querinnalove Thanks! Not sure what happened myself, but I guess it all worked out:)
Abroadin Japan Oh yeah! The 9 kilograms of chocolate! That's the requirement I'm forgetting. Gotta go to the store now...
