What is Happening to Japan?

Hey guys,

I hope you've had a pleasant week.

As you may have seen in recent days, I've been caught up in some things online.
People have joked about, trivialised it, but it's a serious matter.

I've barely slept, and been unable to eat. I needed to discuss this publicly.

I apologise for the tone in this video, but I'm sick and tired of the internet.

With the video out now (and having essentially doxxed myself to prove a point), I intend to sleep well tonight before getting up and cycling with Connor on stream tomorrow.

Tomorrow's a new days and I intend to draw a line and put this behind me.

BE sure to tune in tomororw and join us as we stream the cycle across the Shimanami Kaido!

And above all, a huge thank you guys for your support. It means the world.

Best,

Chris

Oh come off of it buddy, why did you even subscribe to the patreon to hate.

Don’t ever doubt the worth of your work. I know for a fact that it brings so much joy to people’s lives. In an age where we can’t trust anything we see online, me and my Japan loving family know we can trust your content. We love your sarcasm and your witty comments just as much as your tasteful documentaries. Been following your work since 2017 (on YouTube and on the Podcast) and will continue to do so for as long as you keep doing it. Thank you for all you do.

Just wanted to say I've been watching Chris's amazing content for close to a decade (and now I can count my wife and two daughters among Chris's fans!), but his dedication to honesty and campaign against misinformation really inspired me to finally join the Patreon. Fun+principled, what more could you ask for? Thanks Chris!

Very well said Chris, you're spot on. I just want you to know that your videos have had a massive positive effect on my life. Not only have you helped me though the dark days of lockdown but you've also Inadvertently helped plan all my trips to Japan. Sure I'm visiting again in a few months with a binder of your tips and recommendations under my arm. I know there's so much negativity online, but this community is always here to support you though it. You're one of the best in the business and I hope you realise the amount of joy you bring to millions across the globe. You're right to speak your mind and that why this community loves you man. Fair play to ya, keep fighting the good fight and all the support from Ireland.

so many supportive and encouraging comments here. Chris, you are much loved ! Standing up for what you believe in is so important in this crazy world we’re living in ! Whenever i want to watch or listen about Japan , the serious and the funnies i always turn to your channel..on days i want British humour and sarcasm, it’s your channel or your podcast with Pete (always learn a thing or two from Pete lols). I’m am proud to be a big fan of yours! The amount of commitment, research, time you put into making videos, writing the books shows just how much you love what you do & that's not an easy thing to do. I rewatched the cycle again with you and Connor, it was so nice seeing you enjoy yourself, you really needed that time with the fresh air, seabreeze, nature, chatting with people to just be yourself ..i got teary at some parts . That boy Connor, he’s a good lad. You can really see and feel that he cares about you. Anyway, chin up & make sure to take little breaks here and there with your mates & Sharla of course (i’m always amused when you try to do her accent, cracks me up each time). Looking forward to the next video / podcast as always :)

I’m new here mate, been watching for over 10 years, and I joined your Patreon because of your latest video - now felt like the time to put my money where my mouth is and support you, cos I could see how tough it was to make that video. Keep up the great work dude, millions of us support you! 🤙🏻
