JOURNEY ACROSS JAPAN | Do I Regret Daily Videos? 🍿 PATREON Exclusive Behind the Scenes
Added 2023-12-17 18:44:56 +0000 UTCHey guys!
Hope you’ve all been enjoying the series so far. We're now roughly halfway through our journey across the North of Japan and the first Patreon Exclusive behind the scenes video is finally ready to share with you.
You've seen us survive hypothermia and endless amounts of Ramen, as well two days in the company of Ryotaro and much more, all whilst travelling around in a tiny Kei car. It's been a wild ride. 3 guests down and 3 more to come.
In this video I discuss the highs and lows of the trip so far, the ridiculously complex logistics, and introduce the team. And of course, its packed with bloopers, outtakes, and deleted scenes.
ALSO thanks once again for your support, it's been the highlight of my year and it wouldn't have been possible without you, so a big thanks!
Enjoy the video folks, we'll be back with more behind the scenes later on in the trip.
Chris

2024-01-31 09:18:42 +0000 UTCWould you be willing to upload this on YouTube? I like watching the patron vids on my TV xD

2024-01-10 15:25:18 +0000 UTCI agree. Watching videos in Patreon is very annoying. I can watch YouTube videos on my tv or on the go.

2023-12-25 19:15:11 +0000 UTClove the bts look. but the patreon player looks like 240p

2023-12-20 16:26:14 +0000 UTCDid Connor call you a c*nt at the beginning while you were recording in your tent? Sounded like it...need to wash that Monke's mouth out! I love Natsuki comparing all of your "tent" sizes haha! What is your hair doing in that car? It looks very frazzled, hope you're getting enough sleep! Also that bit at the very end of you "helping" set the tents up...lol, you're so bad.

2023-12-20 04:26:50 +0000 UTCWe love the videos, they are very fun and high quality, and you've also been posting regularly (especially given the production quality). You've also been posting on the other channels (podcast). Just make sure you don't burn out and take care of yourself (sleep deprivation is a bitch)
Mila
2023-12-19 23:00:08 +0000 UTCThank you for the BTS! The series has been amazing. I didn't expect episodes with this high quality, so I am more than happy to wait 48 hours for them. You and the team have really added to the joy of the holiday season. Well done!
Dara
2023-12-19 22:52:07 +0000 UTCditto, every 2-3 days is better, I think daily would be too much to keep up with. This way I also look forward to it. I love the series
Mila
2023-12-19 22:40:39 +0000 UTCCan you keep uploading the Patreon videos to YouTube rather than directly through Patreon? The Patreon video player blows and the video quality is extremely low compared to YouTube.
JB
2023-12-19 19:02:46 +0000 UTCThis was SO GOOD I love BTS and thank you for the quick peek behind the curtain of how this all works logistically!
Alex the Brewmage
2023-12-19 18:35:29 +0000 UTCAre you going to be giving the team time off for Christmas if the series. Isn’t done by then. I know some people will get somewhat blue balled if the series gets paused potentially right before the release of the last few videos, but if it comes to that we will support that.
Jacob Greenbaum
2023-12-19 13:44:52 +0000 UTCProbably the funniest series you've made so far, and it's not even done yet! Can't wait to see what's next
Brandon Galaxy
2023-12-19 02:25:38 +0000 UTCWatching JAJ both helps and hinders the pain of knowing I won’t be back in Japan for a while! クリスさん、ありがとうございました🥹

2023-12-19 01:34:06 +0000 UTCDon't stress yourself too hard, we don't mind if there's some delay between posts, take all the rest you need :)

2023-12-19 00:01:43 +0000 UTCPlease note that your videos have gotten me through tough times
Ps4life
2023-12-18 22:35:58 +0000 UTCWhen I saw how expertly those tents had been drawn up, I knew it must have been because of Chris' invaluable contributions to building the camp :D
Stefan H
2023-12-18 21:40:17 +0000 UTCWell done, enjoying the videos and the high quality footage, editing and sometimes questionable content 😆😀👍🏽
Kate Blood
2023-12-18 18:37:38 +0000 UTCThe editing team needs an Oscar for the amazing work they have accomplished! Thank you to everyone for making this Holiday season extra special!
Tim
2023-12-18 18:23:29 +0000 UTCNatsuki is such a riot he can fill up an entire extra episode. The island episode and the subsequent Connor episode are legit the funniest videos on the channel. Big kudos to the editing team!
pipler
2023-12-18 15:47:09 +0000 UTCIve absolutely loved this series! The natsuki/Connor/you episode reminded me of the grand tour in Mongolia. We had you as clarkson, Connor as James, and natsuki as Hammond 😂 Fantastic work though Chris and the team, the quality is better than half of tv. Thank you all!
Hayley Khan
2023-12-18 15:43:30 +0000 UTCThanks for the video Chris! Watching your shenanigans right after an emergency appendectomy was a balm to the soul.
Marta Fernandes
2023-12-18 15:20:31 +0000 UTCAmazing work! Thank you for all your hard work Chris and of course the team. Even when the production time is so limited the quality of the videos is still amazing :)) I think we can all wait for the videos even if it isn't daily upload, I can't even begin to think how much of a workload that is on everyone, you guys deserve breaks! Can't wait to see what comes next 😆
Alex_Y
2023-12-18 14:11:05 +0000 UTCLoving the series, thanks for the behind the scenes updates! It's awesome having such high quality videos so often
Mim Franklin
2023-12-18 13:30:41 +0000 UTCIs there any chance we can return to the Patreon exclusives being hosted privately on YouTube rather than inside Patreon itself? I ask because I use my TV and Apple TV box to watch everything, and with the Patreon it becomes more awkward for us to watch which often results in us not watching them at all.

2023-12-18 12:41:05 +0000 UTCIt's been a pleasure :)

2023-12-18 11:10:15 +0000 UTCThanks for the kind words Richard - I hope things improve for you as soon as possible mate.
Abroad in Japan
2023-12-18 11:09:52 +0000 UTCI think it's impressive enough to get stuff of this quality even every other day so I'm not complaining at all! Keep up the great work team!
Sam Butcher
2023-12-18 11:03:12 +0000 UTCIt was really nice catching up with Fukishima, and the team, the series has been great and is giving me ideas for my 2025 trip where I want to see more than just Tokyo and Osaka! You're always hard on yourself Chris :D
Steve Cox
2023-12-18 10:54:47 +0000 UTCYou need to stop being so hard on yourself! The videos have been of such awesome quality! I 100% prefer these amazing videos every 2-3 days than daily vlogs.

2023-12-18 10:36:35 +0000 UTCIt’s a great series, we’re loving it
Samuel Clements
2023-12-18 09:06:36 +0000 UTCThanks Chris and the crew, loving this. It is getting me ready for my Feb visit :D

2023-12-18 03:31:07 +0000 UTCthis was a great video and i think this behind the scenes look was much needed.
Saad Ehsan
2023-12-18 01:54:36 +0000 UTCHaha that was a great patreon video Chris. I agree that videos every 2 or 3 days is probably the way to go. I am looking forward to what you all have coming up. Great job, just a few more days to go!
John
2023-12-18 01:41:35 +0000 UTCEven if we don't get daily uploads, it's still a great format with a new video every few days. Quality is as good as ever, guests were great (and we'll have great people coming up), and I love northern Japan. So thanks to everyone involved, you're all doing great!
Donát
2023-12-18 00:30:20 +0000 UTCAwesome videos! Don't change anything team.

2023-12-18 00:18:45 +0000 UTCIt has the same meaning in Japanese too😁
Satomi Arihara
2023-12-18 00:11:21 +0000 UTCBeen loving the series so far and don't mind at all they're not daily. The quality that's been put out there so fast is amazing and kudos to the whole team for bringing it together!
Yanko
2023-12-18 00:06:57 +0000 UTCI always crie with laugther whenever you’re walking around with Conner. Love the series keep it up and take my money
Frans van der Pol
2023-12-17 23:35:26 +0000 UTCGreat behind the scenes! Any plans on having this patreon excusive video available in youtube format? I like to keep a private playlist of all the AIJ videos for easy viewing.
KaiLi Seekamp
2023-12-17 23:13:51 +0000 UTCFantastic videos so far!
Acrosicious
2023-12-17 23:13:12 +0000 UTCI love your mindset that you see every video as a short documentary rather than a normal vlog. It's a testament as to why we always get so many high quality videos from you and the team.
hachithebachi
2023-12-17 22:57:12 +0000 UTCLoving all the videos and don’t care if we need to wait a day longer! It’s top quality and interesting. So keep up the good work 💪🏼. And thank you for the hard work everybody! 🥹✨👏🏼
Amilie Van Acker
2023-12-17 22:53:22 +0000 UTCWell now I want to see the Willy Wonka of Fried Chicken movie! And yes Chris, always show the food! The scrumdiddlyumtious food...
The Vernes
2023-12-17 22:34:39 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this series just caught up on the last 3 episodes. Completely understand not doing the daily videos, it's a lot of work especially with how fantastic the videos are, I could never get that type of quality out in a month let alone a day. Everyone is doing a fantastic job, keep up the good work and have fun everyone.
Theresa Johnson
2023-12-17 22:34:35 +0000 UTCLife is kinda crappy at the mo, but JAJ is a real escape. Loving the whole series and much prefer quality over quantity. Thanks to Chris and all the team. Justice Delicious!
Richard Johnson
2023-12-17 22:28:22 +0000 UTCThanks for all these videos, I am really enjoying this series :)
Francesco Piredda
2023-12-17 22:17:10 +0000 UTCI did actually help fund the original JAJ as well and I remember how proud I felt. I'm really enjoying this one too!
Nynke de Haas
2023-12-17 21:35:51 +0000 UTCSharla said last week that Ellen always gets a particular type of chocolate whenever she visits Japan so I don't think so!
Nynke de Haas
2023-12-17 21:34:16 +0000 UTCOh, he knows!
Nynke de Haas
2023-12-17 21:33:10 +0000 UTCThanks for all the videos :) take all the time you and the team need!
Sander De Visscher
2023-12-17 21:17:00 +0000 UTCYou and the rest of the team have been doing such a great job on this series! Looking forward til the next episode drop :)
Stephanie R.
2023-12-17 21:08:59 +0000 UTCThank you for making this video for us :) I enjoy every video you create, no matter how often or not :). I think it’s fine about the daily video thing. You don’t know until you try these things, right?
Bethany
2023-12-17 21:01:34 +0000 UTCIt’s great seeing the behind the scenes shots and bloopers Also how well you all get along! Funny thing is while Chris is explaining stuff while driving the Kei car and his hair puffed up like that he looks like that guy from the Ancient Aliens show, all we’d need is him saying “I’m not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens.”
Ed Morrison Jr.
2023-12-17 20:41:26 +0000 UTCThanks for the behind the scenes, fun video! Looking forward to the rest of the series. Merry Christmas to Chris , Sharla and the whole team!

2023-12-17 20:36:43 +0000 UTCDoes Ellen live in Japan now? She's popped up on a few videos recently like the climbing Fuji one, always enjoy her energy!

2023-12-17 20:32:15 +0000 UTCim glad to be apart of this journey :)
Lilian
2023-12-17 20:26:58 +0000 UTCChris says he's doing okay, but his hair is a silent plea for a day off.
Rob
2023-12-17 20:06:35 +0000 UTCI wonder if Natsuki actually knows that "pitch a tent" is a euphemism for having an erection or if that was just a hilarious coincidence 😂
Blex
2023-12-17 19:55:42 +0000 UTC"Chris Helps" will start being a regular segment in these videos xD

Etienne Sharp
2023-12-17 19:39:46 +0000 UTCI'm enjoying this series so much and looking forward to each new episode. The quality and quantity of the episodes is really quite astonishing. This behind the scenes look was very cool. I laughed out loud at Natsuki's "big tent, medium tent, small tent" joke.
Robert Tabb
2023-12-17 19:35:40 +0000 UTCDaily? It is what it is. But I'm glad to be able to see the amazing videos when they do come out. Love the content but daily no... one day lol.
Chris Miller
2023-12-17 19:27:32 +0000 UTCThe series has been great! Thank you to Chris and the entire team for putting out such amazing videos, having a new episode to watch every few days has been a wonderful treat 😄
Jessica
2023-12-17 19:24:29 +0000 UTCThis series makes me glad I signed up to the Patreon Chris 😊 binging your channel got me through some sh*t this year, so to have uploads this regular is much welcome in the run up to a difficult Christmas - keep up the awesome work (you and the team!) and… ありがとうございます 😁

2023-12-17 19:19:16 +0000 UTCI love this video. Amazing work to the whole team!

2023-12-17 19:12:39 +0000 UTCloving the videos! never mind the daily uploads. this is quality over frequency! maybe you should take a day off filming too and just sleep through a day. be safe!!
Peter Varga
2023-12-17 19:11:49 +0000 UTCWell done Chris and the team. Epic work. Love the Chemistry between you and your guests.
Alistair Turner
2023-12-17 19:09:45 +0000 UTCFantastic series so far. I think it's my favourite journey across Japan yet and you'd set an incredibly high bar with those. Tomorrow I have to go and work 10 hrs in a job I hate. So always love watching particularly on a Sunday night. Can't wait to be back in Japan... Only been back in the UK 2 weeks and pissed off with it already.

2023-12-17 18:56:56 +0000 UTCI am 100% enjoying this series.. since I was not around during the OG JAJ this feels special
