Leave me a phrase that you would like to learn in Japanese and I can bring it up in my next videos! Also I would love to hear what your most favorite video is in Abroad in Japan.
I'd like to learn how to say "can you please repeat that more slowly." Also I haven't been watching Chris' videos for that long (although apparently I hadn't subscribed yet, oops XD), but so far I really enjoyed his videos that mention his experience with teaching in Japan as it's something I've been considering doing in the future.
listen here chris...you better make more videos with ryotoro..you 2together are the pinicale of comedy..i know i spelled that wrong but i am too lazy to check.anyway you are both awesome but we need you 2 together i dont give a fuck what you do...sit and drink, brake the law i dont know just do somethinggggg
So, Ryotaro successfully managed to pull off a reverse-weeaboo: watched foreign media portraying high school life and went there to experience it. - the one thing every single starry-eyed kid, who wants to go sit to the back of the class next to the window in Japan, gets sternly discouraged from doing. Respect.
In 10 minutes you've gone from "that guy who drives Chris around and offers funny, sometimes insightful comments" to a well educated, world-traveling polyglot in my mind. You're an impressive man, Ryotaro.
@@mygetawayart yeah this is Ryotaro, pal. Not abroadinjapan. Kind of rude to attach Chris to everything when Ryotaro is trying to put himself out there and create his own content. Don't hang ABiJ over his head like that, man...
Hello Ryotaro, my name is Laurel and I lived in Japan for five and a half years. I laughed when I saw your video because I too experienced Japanes people struggle to pronounce my name. I look forward to more of your videos. Good luck with your channel.
I love how you talk shit with Chris. It’s very humorous. But thats just you being yourself. It’s funny. And he doesn’t seem bummed about it, so he’s a good sport.
I see that Ryotaro has posted a video, I press play. That's how life works. Thank you Chris Broad for introducing me to this fantastically interesting man, not too unlike yourself.
I just subbed to your channel with Akiusha video. I was always impressed with your English. As I'm also A Japanese living in the US for 46 years and while every japanese person I meet (they live in US as well) compliment me on my pronunciation of english as japanese native. So I've been there like you have gone though.. Now I know why you have an impeccable ability to utilize english and with more british accents than any english speaking natives outside of UK. Yes, L, R, TH, F/V all Japanese have trouble with as they don't exist in our language. it took a couple of years for me to get about 80% of what I hear and say 50% of what I want to express. You're my hero with your smarts and ability to communicate so so well . Looking forward to watch more vids from you. Take care & stay safe.
I've actually been to Singapore, beautiful country, loved every minute of it, but for the life of me I could not understand where the 'lah' came from. Mind explaining? You don't have to if it makes you uncomfortable.
@@tigervalley62 It has many nuances, but the two most common is the high, sharp tone which is a declarative similar to Japanese よ or でしょう, and a long low tone which represents a requesting tone (the lower, the more 'pleading' it sounds), similar to 下さい (med-low tone) くれませんか (super low tone). Always glad to spread the culture! If there's one thing Singaporeans are proud of, its Singlish!
Food-wise, Düsseldorf is the best place for a Japanese (now also Korean, West Chinese, Taiwanese...) person to live in Europe. I used to live there too, before moving to Stuttgart, and now I'm hard pressed to find good soba and udon.
What an incredible back story! You TOTALLY have to do another video and share more stories. I would love to hear differences and stories from the 3 English speaking places you have lived. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thank you for making your TH-cam channel Ryotaro love what you do and i hope to Visit Japan myself soon because of You Chris and Natsuki making it extra awesome! best wishes from Me and the UK for your channel to grow bigger keep it up my friend!!
The way you break down language is more logical than any langauge teacher I've ever had. I feel like if you created a Japanese language course I'd acutally be able to learn. You could apply the same idea to any language actually. You're fucking awesome Ryotaro.
First things first, as a Spanish speaker, i would love to hear you speak it! Second, it would be nice (speaking for someones that his Japanese isn't that good) for you to explain the variations of this and that according to who the listener and speaker. Besides that, keep up the good work Risottoro!
Ryotaro's origins: *being an Ameriboo.* Chris Broad: "We're not so different, you and I." Also, that's some good Spanish you got there! I'm enjoying your output so far, so keep it up.
Australian Friend: "Yeah, why don't you come over? You know, just come to Australia, come to South Hemisphere!" The way you said that made it sound hilariously sketchy, like a stranger offering candy out of their van! ^ _ ^
You've got a really crazy traveling background! I hope I'll get the chance to even see half the places you've been to. On the constructive side though, for your video, be sure to check the sound levels when you're mixing things together, I don't know how in depth you're going with this, or what editing software you use, but there was a moment at 00:48 where the fanfare audio was really loud, and it did drown out your voice. Beyond that I think it was a well put together video! Hope to see your next video soon, Ryotaro, Thanks for sharing a bit of your history with us!
I just discovered this channel and I am so happy I did, and so sad that I did it so late 😅 I moved to Sendai a little bit more than 6 months ago, it is great to know there is such a great person living here and teaching us so many things about Japan! Thank you!
Shooting my shot here. You've always been hot to me before but knowing you're an educated, well-travelled polyglot who still has childlike wonder in everything Japan and the world. You are one great package, Ryotaro. Can't wait to see your new videos now that I've subscribed to be notified everytime!
Damn, I am actually quite jealous of him being able to just move to a different country and getting a job pretty much immediately. Especially in countries on different continent.
i still hear a very english-esque accent when you speak just in front of the camera. Its very much a compliment for a non native speaker to hold an accent and speak so fluid is very desirable. I for one am jealous!
Ryotaro. In Singapore we don’t use “lah” when asking question. The term “lah” come from Malay which is use as polite command, hence pergi lah ! (Just Go!) is translate as ‘go Lah!’ How ever in Singapore it is widely users at the end of sentence for emphasis ‘I don’t know Lah!’ (I just don’t know)
Another great video Ryotaro 👍 I still have a strong Japanese accent and struggle with certain English words. I can write it really good but my tongue just wont work 😅😅 I have picked up a lot of Scottish slang words which really freaks people out when they hear Scottish slang in a strong Japanese accent. Cant wait for more vids from you👍👍
I hear ya, I'm Hungarian, used to work with quite a few people from the West Indies. Apparently, "ya man" and "wha' gwan" sounds really funny from a Hungarian ;)
Yo me gusta la esponal idioma, yo hablar ingles puro querer aprender Japanos tambien, Yo creo que hablar tres idiomas esta muy dificil puro muy bien y vale la pena
Cool video! So ideas for videos: 1- first encounter with Chris 2- your experience with spanish 3- hobbies I follow you and Chris. You guys crack me up with Natsuki lol Keep it up!
Well the important thing is that you make Chris's life a living hell and prank the crap out of him. LOL! I love when you just pull random plans on him with no warning or notice. Always a good laugh! You look like you are having hilarious fun! subbed and liked for you!
It is refreshing to hear from another person who shifts their accent depending on location and who they're talking to...Thank you Ryotaro for making me feel less crazy. 😂 Please keep doing what you're doing! My wife and I are enjoying the your videos so far. Best regards!
I remember reading something that said mnemonics are usually easier to recall when they are bizarre or unusual. Something related to how the brain can more easily recall short vignettes/pictures than it can individual words or concepts
I think its great that you're making videos too now. Chris' videos are what gave me the final push to visit Japan last year. Hopefully going to visit again when the world is back to normal.
Hi Ryotaro! I'm not the Laurel you knew in Seattle, but wanted to send you a shout out from Ohio. There are many English speaking folks who can't pronounce my name either. I used to say "you know, like the comedy team 'Laurel and Hardy'!" Except no one under the age of 40 knows who they are. 😊 So glad you have your own channel...been following Chris for years and never got to know you. Best of luck!
One of the most interesting men in Japan! You've been around so much, it's amazing! I'd love some stories about your time in Germany! :D Grüße aus Düsseldorf!
I loved Canada gets a shout out in your second video yay. Love these. After watching a lot of abroad in japan and seeing you feed him meat and give him alcohol continuously, I had to check these tutorials out. Great job
@Demozo It means I am so gay I have a membership card to the Lesbian Guild 😅😅 Just my way of saying I'm not really fit to judge if Ryo is hot or not. I just enjoy his videos. He is always charming and informative.
Wow! I am from the Caribbean and our English is different as well. I want to learn Japanese from you! I love the cheat sheet. I get the pronunciation now. #MoreJapaneseClasses
I would love tor you to take us on a walk and show us the sights. How you greet people and interact. A phrase I would like to learn is just a greeting as you pass by people on the street. Great video's so far, thank you.
On your own I can hear the Japanese twang but with Chris you bring home the British accent. I recommend that you drink a pint of Ale before recording. Keep up the good work.
It was nice to get to know the man in front of the camera, Ryotaro. Thanks for sharing your life. It would explain why you're confident with English too!いいね！本当に珍しい。ビデオありがとうございます。
Ryotoro, I would like to know what the greeting is when you enter a shop and what the polite response is. We know how Chris LOVES umeboshi! Let's all send him some!
Glad to hear you spent time in Seattle! Dicks IS the best burger place that I've had in the US. No substitutions allowed, no seating, open until 2 AM, always near bars, and only like 5 things on the menu... if you know you know
You are cool Ryotaro. Next time I'm in Japan I'm going up to Akiu to eat in your restaurant. You, Chris and Natsuki are the guys who made me decide to visit Japan for the first time a few years ago. And it became my favourite country.
When I visited Japan and went into a starbucks I tried to order their special, the Goma goma goma drink. I tried to ask how much it was, definitely pronounced Ikura in the way that you said most people mistakenly do. Listening to your tip and how you're saying it, I'm wondering if its a matter of pitch accent, as well as regular accent. To my uneducated ear, it sounds like a high --> low falling down to low on ku and ra. Wish I had Dogen around here to double check me
I guess its like that, but its not quite ick lah, its i (い) ku (く) ra (ら) more like e-ku-la pronounced like e-mail, and then deska, the ka (か) at the end is like a question mark. Just like in english you raise the pitch at the end of the question. In japanese theres equal emphasis on each character so dont hang on the い in いくら(ikura) too long, i think that's what hes getting at with "ick lah". The only problem is that いくら is 3 syllables, and "ick lah" is 2
I am happy that you have been to Australia and that you had a good experience here. You worked very closely to where I live. It is a nice part of Sydney.
Great to share some of your youth memories with us. Funny you went to Düsseldorf for you first job of all places. The Japanese epicentre in Germany! Although we have some Japanese in Hamburg as well. I went to elementary school with a Hideki from Sapporo. Haven't heard of him for a looong time.
@@walterwhite7325 Look mr. White, I don't want you to get mad at me and shoot me but that's the normal way to write it, not the Ryotaro way to say it. Thanks anyway.
Leave me a phrase that you would like to learn in Japanese and I can bring it up in my next videos!
Also I would love to hear what your most favorite video is in Abroad in Japan.
Ryotaro's Japan How about ‘Do you speak English?’. Love your channel Ryotaro I am learning a lot
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. :)
How would you say 'how do you get to (insert name) place?'
How about, "I'm going to get him" as in your going to pick up your friend.
I'd like to learn how to say "can you please repeat that more slowly."
Also I haven't been watching Chris' videos for that long (although apparently I hadn't subscribed yet, oops XD), but so far I really enjoyed his videos that mention his experience with teaching in Japan as it's something I've been considering doing in the future.
Watched for the low budget "spy movie" montage at the start of the video.
Stayed to hear the phrase "Ali Mask On" again.
Abroad in Japan Hi Chris happy 30th!
listen here chris...you better make more videos with ryotoro..you 2together are the pinicale of comedy..i know i spelled that wrong but i am too lazy to check.anyway you are both awesome but we need you 2 together i dont give a fuck what you do...sit and drink, brake the law i dont know just do somethinggggg
Don't know whats better. Risotteros Videos or your shitposting in the comments. looking forward to both
I just love the "totally not stolen thumb nail pictures" in the intro, hahah. Sneaky sneaky!
HAHHAAH MADE ME LAUGH HAHAHAHAHAHA
So it's basically confirmed that Ryotaro is the World's Most Interesting Man.
This is going to be a hard toss between Risotaro and James May
He doesn't always speak English, but when he does, it's in three different accents.
I agree but, I can’t seem to get him to introduce me to any of his “business contacts”.
I think christopher lee still takes the cake but ryotaro is pretty sick too lol
he's kind of good looking as well, amIrite?
Ryotaro. So badass that he learned English by walking into a pub.
And when he walked out, everyone else spoke Japanese.
He apparently also owns Japan now, so that's a bonus.
No Pubbing, No Life
Lol nice
A guy walks into bar...and learns english
So, Ryotaro successfully managed to pull off a reverse-weeaboo: watched foreign media portraying high school life and went there to experience it. - the one thing every single starry-eyed kid, who wants to go sit to the back of the class next to the window in Japan, gets sternly discouraged from doing.
Respect.
Ryotaro should make Chris The
Movie to help him get famous.
アーチボルドピーター Yes, Abroad in Japan is such an obscure channel, a big channel like Ryotaro’s Japan shouting out would be HUGE for him!
In 10 minutes you've gone from "that guy who drives Chris around and offers funny, sometimes insightful comments" to a well educated, world-traveling polyglot in my mind. You're an impressive man, Ryotaro.
you actually needed a video to understand that?
Risottro can you please stop logging into different made up accounts in order to give yourself praise and not appear vain? Thanks.
@@TheSm1thers yep risottro
Hello Risottoro.
#camp for re educate
Ah yes
The fact that you know how to use "whom" correctly means your English skills are better than most native speakers
I was thinking the same here 😅😅
@@Madhattersinjeans 🤣🤣 Or Ross in Friends 😅😅 Yeah, its use actually depends on the context but I wouldn't say it's necessarily "archaic"
@@adrianamendesporcellato No. Only dumbasses and idiots would say that. Whom is an object, who is a subject. It's pretty simple.
I always wondered why so many native English speakers have a hard time with the easiest language in the world. Don't you learn it in school ? :)
@@sydurgraham7760 I don't quite get the definition of it... can you perhaps simplify it for me?
Chris starves us with breadcrumbs of content, luckily we finally have Ryotaro to expand the Broadverse.
I am keeping him busy by me asking questions every 10mins

Ryotaro at 15: Went to study abroad,making friends,living life
Me at 15: Watching anime 24/7
its ok man it would be hard to do that right now
@@Madhattersinjeans definitely. Being able to study and work in several countries is a huge sign of privilege
I enjoyed hearing about your life and would enjoy to hear more!
I see Ryotaro, I subscribe.
Who Ryotaro is:
- Part time Assassin.
- Part time Gentleman Spy.
- Part time English.
You forgot freelance peasant.
Failed Assassin unfortunately
Full time badass
@@DK-dc8sl I suppose, in the assassination game, you are only as good as your last failed attempt...
don't forget British Accent Thief
Chris: I'm not making a "Ryotaro the Movie"
Ryotaro: Fine, I'll do it myself
I love how you talk shit with Chris. It’s very humorous. But thats just you being yourself. It’s funny. And he doesn’t seem bummed about it, so he’s a good sport.
Its really nice just watching ryotoro talking about his life. Really interesting life. Ryotoro really has a lot of different experiences.
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. I always thought your accent is more Australian than British. It's excellent!
I see that Ryotaro has posted a video, I press play. That's how life works. Thank you Chris Broad for introducing me to this fantastically interesting man, not too unlike yourself.

Yes, L, R, TH, F/V all Japanese have trouble with as they don't exist in our language. it took a couple
of years for me to get about 80% of what I hear and say 50% of what I want to express.
You're my hero with your smarts and ability to communicate so so well .
Looking forward to watch more vids from you. Take care & stay safe.
Greetings from Singapore! Great to know our "lahs" are are gaining international prominence! :)
Though used awkwardly in a question haha. Good try anyways!
Except, he used it wrongly. Should get him the "how to use -lah" shirt LOL...
I've actually been to Singapore, beautiful country, loved every minute of it, but for the life of me I could not understand where the 'lah' came from. Mind explaining? You don't have to if it makes you uncomfortable.
@@tigervalley62 It has many nuances, but the two most common is the high, sharp tone which is a declarative similar to Japanese よ or でしょう, and a long low tone which represents a requesting tone (the lower, the more 'pleading' it sounds), similar to 下さい (med-low tone) くれませんか (super low tone).
Always glad to spread the culture! If there's one thing Singaporeans are proud of, its Singlish!
Singlish is the best form of English. I learned my Singlish from PCK and the aunty who ran the warung kopi.
I wanted to hear more Spanish from Ryotaro , i'm surprised and very happy that you can also speak Spanish
0 dislikes with 1000 likes is an achievement Chris couldn’t even make!
Suppose he is still asleep
Well there's 5 dislikes now..
Fatima Khan We don’t talk about those; that’s just Chris and his various clone accounts.
*Chris starts logging in with his 28 YT accounts*
You do realize you are going to be in the next hate-comment review right?
Food-wise, Düsseldorf is the best place for a Japanese (now also Korean, West Chinese, Taiwanese...) person to live in Europe. I used to live there too, before moving to Stuttgart, and now I'm hard pressed to find good soba and udon.
Ryotaro took 2 years to pronounce the letters: *L* & *R*
Me, who remembers that one specific Chris's video: *bLuNcH*
Too be honest, even have trouble with it from time to time.
He's so sweet when he's not being the super villain of The Chris universe
"Let's not debate about their sausages."
Yeah, I agree, German sausages are the wurst.
Now that's a high quality comment right there
Official Aveq nice one, but I seem to remember that he actually favours German sausages ;)

What an incredible back story! You TOTALLY have to do another video and share more stories. I would love to hear differences and stories from the 3 English speaking places you have lived. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Chris: "You fool! I have 28 alternative accounts!"
Ryotaro was the reason I started watching abroad in Japan 🤪
Ryotaro is the type of guy to be on the worlds most wanted list for british accent smuggling
Real gem across the globe. Really enjoy watching your Own TH-cam channel and Chris’s abroad in Japan.
Thank you for making your TH-cam channel Ryotaro love what you do and i hope to Visit Japan myself soon because of You Chris and Natsuki making it extra awesome! best wishes from Me and the UK for your channel to grow bigger keep it up my friend!!

After Chris has been riding on your coattails for so long, it's Ryotaro's time to shine!
Most convoluted way to remember a sentence ever, but then again that's the way to do it.

It's official, Ryotaro is definitely cooler than Chris.
Seriously, was there any doubt?
What a low bar to set :P
Chris rules!
That’s harsh. Snap
I thought we were all watching his videos for Ryotarou anyway? ;)
Very keen for a Ryotaro channel, can't wait to see more videos!
On your own I can hear the Japanese twang but with Chris you bring home the British accent. I recommend that you drink a pint of Ale before recording. Keep up the good work.
It was nice to get to know the man in front of the camera, Ryotaro. Thanks for sharing your life. It would explain why you're confident with English too!いいね！本当に珍しい。ビデオありがとうございます。
Ryotoro, I would like to know what the greeting is when you enter a shop and what the polite response is.
We know how Chris LOVES umeboshi! Let's all send him some!
Glad to hear you spent time in Seattle! Dicks IS the best burger place that I've had in the US. No substitutions allowed, no seating, open until 2 AM, always near bars, and only like 5 things on the menu... if you know you know
Hearing Ryotaro speak Spanish brings a Mexican tear to my eye. =')
You are cool Ryotaro. Next time I'm in Japan I'm going up to Akiu to eat in your restaurant. You, Chris and Natsuki are the guys who made me decide to visit Japan for the first time a few years ago. And it became my favourite country.
Nunca me imaginé que tú pudieras hablar español. Que interesante.
It's the Ryooo-maaan!!! Lova ya dude you always crack me up in Chris' videos
No way, I work in Hornsby at the moment. Crazy that you used to work there
It was a company called Support Solutions. Just googled it. God, it is still there!
Enjoyed your video, looking forward to being entertained during your upcoming adventures! Arigatoo!
When I visited Japan and went into a starbucks I tried to order their special, the Goma goma goma drink. I tried to ask how much it was, definitely pronounced Ikura in the way that you said most people mistakenly do. Listening to your tip and how you're saying it, I'm wondering if its a matter of pitch accent, as well as regular accent. To my uneducated ear, it sounds like a high --> low falling down to low on ku and ra. Wish I had Dogen around here to double check me
I think its also important to emphasise "ik", rather than "ura".
I guess its like that, but its not quite ick lah, its i (い) ku (く) ra (ら) more like e-ku-la pronounced like e-mail, and then deska, the ka (か) at the end is like a question mark. Just like in english you raise the pitch at the end of the question.
In japanese theres equal emphasis on each character so dont hang on the い in いくら(ikura) too long, i think that's what hes getting at with "ick lah". The only problem is that いくら is 3 syllables, and "ick lah" is 2
I am happy that you have been to Australia and that you had a good experience here. You worked very closely to where I live. It is a nice part of Sydney.
I’ve always wondered for a while who Ryotaro is after seeing you in Chris’s videos. Mystery solved.
Great to share some of your youth memories with us. Funny you went to Düsseldorf for you first job of all places. The Japanese epicentre in Germany! Although we have some Japanese in Hamburg as well. I went to elementary school with a Hideki from Sapporo. Haven't heard of him for a looong time.
A good phrase to know would be: "I'm lost, where is...?"
Start with the place, for example, convenience store/konbini/コンビニ and then add wa doko desu ka / はどこですか which is how you ask where something is
@@walterwhite7325 Look mr. White, I don't want you to get mad at me and shoot me but that's the normal way to write it, not the Ryotaro way to say it. Thanks anyway.
Walter White doko* desu ka isn’t it?
@@XTingler yes こ is ko, くwould be ku, my error, nice spot
As I can tell from experience: The problematic part is not the question itself. It's understanding the answer!
Awesomme ... thanks Ryotaro san for starting this channel ...keep it going ...cheers
