HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 | Natsuki: The Movie Finished!

Never mind. I just saw your VLOG of 24 January.

Chris Maddox

Oy Chris. The 26 January has come and gone but I have not seen anything regarding "Natsuki, The Move" having been actually released. Did it happen?

Chris Maddox

Has the mo iem

Hey, i asked once before. The song in the "Where is Tokyo's Greatest View?" episode, that starts out your adventure. Name and artist and if possible, where can i buy it?

Can't wait for the movie to come out!

I watch many videos on YouTube about Japan, especially from foreigner's perspectives. Yours are both entertaining and tasteful. I have heard of Logan Paul briefly before, seen a taste of his style, and felt like puking on my computer screen. Now this disgusting disrespect of Japanese culture and humanity in general comes up in Logan's recent videos, and it's all over the headlines. I can't believe how many people support him. I don't want to think about his actions or his YouTube career ever again, I wish he would be publicly shamed and disappear into the obscurity of horrible people who used to be internet famous. On the bright side, focusing back on a cheeky Brit we've all come to know and love for being humorous but respectful... I am really looking forward to seeing "Natsuki: the Movie" and I hope there is also going to be a behind the scenes video with outtakes and bloopers! <3

Australia Day.... What a day to release the movie. Great Job Mate!

This could literally be a life changing experience. I will have to brace myself for this! Good thing I have my "like a magic" mug to use during the viewing!

Matthew Cirilli

Looking forward to seeing it. Keep up the great work.

Releasing on Australia Day! Great decision :D

I am most excited as it will be releasing on my birthday! Thank you so much for everything you've done and I really do love what ever you do, so the 26th will be extra special as I have this to look forward too!

In other words, money first, integrity somewhere way down the road.

It’s not what paul posted, it’s the double standard YouTube has towards its contributors.

Rick Ole

Yay, thanks for the birthday gift! My birthday is on the 26th. ^^

Nari Kim

ItsHappening.gif Can't wait for Natsuki the movie. It comes out just before my birthday too, thanks for the early present Chris!

If I wanted to watch it, I'd purposely watch it through another channel (Which YouTube would eventually delete.)

Releasing it on Invasion Day (Australia Day) eh? Just kidding, I'm glad that you're releasing it this month! But yeah, that whole Paul thing shook me up a bit (Saw it on Twitter, didn't give him a view, yay!). I tried my very best to not spit out in hate and anger. (He seems to be the person that takes thrill in it.) It was so hard to deal with, I went out for drinks with my friends on that day to see the 'Disaster Artist'. At least James Franco and Tommy Wiseau lifted my spirits that night, my friends too, but they had to listen to my drunken thoughts. Eeek

By the way we need ryotaro the movie and then ryotaro vs natsuki for the finale

An hour!

My YouTube keeps insisting I watch this Paul kid's apology video. Fuck that, I'd rather he never be acknowledged with a "view". Anyway, can't wait for the movie!

I had no clue who that Logan Paul guy was prior to his name being plastered all over the internet in infamy and I'm sad that all the denunciation probably gives him even more free publicity to hawk his trash self brand. But if one awful voice can affect the world around it, one excellent voice can also make the world sing. I'm looking forward to Natsuki the Movie and I wish the best for you and yours this 2018. Let's make it good.

All is not lost, Peder. There is much good in this world if you look for it. Unfortunately sensationalism sells, no matter how repellent it may be. Keep the faith!

Chris Maddox

I am very excited "Natsuki: The Movie" will finally see the light of day. Both you and Natsukisan are people I can get behind and root for. The other person you mention near the conclusion of your post, not so much. Not so much at all...

Chris Maddox

Its scary in it self when a guy like that have that many followers, but my faith for humanity was lost a long time ago so i guess everything is keeping with the times. Its a dark, scary and utterly cold world were living in.

Unbelievable. I cannot believe people can mock a person for committing suicide. The amount of pain that poor guy must've been in to do such a thing. I haven't seen the video, don't know who Paul something is either, and I won't do it either. Thanks for the heads up. On another happier note, congratulations for finishing the movie!! Can't wait to see it. I hope you have a happy new year and you can accomplish what anything you want to do!

I’m glad you’re trying to forget about it,, it doesn’t deserve more attention than it is already receiving !

Natsuki looks awesome in that shot! Rock Star . . . I'm lovin it ;)

It is scary how easy it is for idiots to reach such a large audience of other idiots - because i watch so many videos about Japan it actually popped up in my recommended but i was watching the recording of the Livestream i missed so didn't open it and I'm so relieved i watched you and Natsuki instead! I work in the field of trauma and mental health and thanks to him hundreds of people have witnessed something potentially traumatizing while he laughs like a moron at it. Unfortunately all this is just making him more famous - hopefully he will shut down his channel and go work as a barista somewhere as punishment.

Brigitte Marie

I’ve never even heard of that Logan guy... what a disgusting thing to do. Don’t do a video about it. He doesn’t deserve the attention. Natsuki the movie on the other hand is a better way to ring in the new year! Can’t wait! 😃✌️

Laura Beaumont

Yes i heard all about that shitheads vid. He is very sorry now and claiming he was 'misguided'. Well he became 'apologetic' because he lost shed loads of revenue as people dumped him. He has removed the vid BTW.

Like the other commenters, I'm excited for Natsuki the movie and really appreciate you commenting on the Paul incident. I also cringed when the evening news blared their "coming up on the news" about the incident and my heart just sank when they mentioned suicide forest...I do wonder about any group of people who think there's ANYTHING funny in suicide. And his disingenuous whine about how he was bringing attention to suicide blah blah blah. Dude, that's NOT how you do it. In my opinion, your video of Aokigahara was more a suicide prevention message than this idiots' was. Which brings me to thanking you. Thank you for making clever, witty, informed content. And thank you for combining your words with beautiful images and music. I appreciate the extra effort you put in. Now if we could all just figure out why Youtube de-monetises you and keeps idiots like Paul up long after that video should have been brought down, but I suppose there's not accounting for corporate stupidity and greed. I'm glad places like Patreon exist, where one person can have a tangible effect. Looking forward to an amazing 2018!

So i’ll Be making a trip to the next town over to the Japanese supermarket there and getting in the beer and snacks. The excitement is unreal! I’m so glad you decided against doing a video on the whole Doyle Paul incident, he really doesn’t need to gain any more attention from this sad and dispicable situation.

I always internally cringed any time streamers or vloggers went to Aokigahara. Even as someone who tends to love grisly murder-porn style shows like Forensic Files it just seemed like everyone was always like "oooo how edgy people die here hueueueueuue", extremely 'weeb'. It's just not a good look. I hope at least the backlash from this stops people from putting it on their itinerary, as you've pointed out before there's not much to do there except for hope to find something awful (and why would anyone want to do this) or go to the ice caves, which is fine - but literally no streamers I've ever seen have done this and only a few vloggers. Not to mention it's not exactly easy to get in and out transport-wise. I also worry that all Youtubers get lumped in with the likes of the Pauls (who are actually already famous in my 'hood for being disruptive assholes). It's at least great to see that all the Youtubers I follow have denounced this - y'all are good people!

Christina Woog

Can't wait! How long is the movie?

I’m personally gonna purchase some Sapporo and flamin’ hot cheetos for the occasion. Haha

Chantal Ward

First I got really excited at the beginning of this post. I immediately created an event in my calendar the day the movie comes out so I won’t forget! And then the rest of the post just made me depressed. Lol I’m not surprised, honestly, as this is fairly normal standards for the world these days. I know that’s sad to say. But it’s still disturbing and awful. I thought about watching the video to see what everyone was talking about (I’ve seen a lot of comments on your What Not to Do in Japan video and I fortunately had no idea what people were talking about). However, after reading what you wrote, it’s not worth it to even give him an extra view for that nonsense. It’s just appalling. Kudos for not making a video on it and giving him any more attention than he deserves.

Chantal Ward

Very excited for the movie! Thank you for giving your views on the Logan Paul incident... I was so shocked hearing about it that I realised that there really are people out there who don't so much scrape the barrel, as dig through the bottom of the barrel and just keep on going.... just appalling in every sense. I have been directly involved in bringing someone back who had to be cut down and my immediate thought was: had they acted quickly was there a chance they could have been saved? Perhaps, perhaps not, but anyone in this situation should not hesitate to at least try... however harrowing. Everyone should learn basic CPR, because it really can save lives!

I can't wait to watch the movie! What is the ideal snack and drink combo to watch it with? Biscuits and tea? Beer and pretzels? Popcorn and coke?

Zac Kelsey

Thanks for this post. One thing which worries me about the possible fallout from that Logan Paul idiot is whether it will foster more resentment of westerners in Japan, from Japanese people. So it's good to see vloggers condemning his actions in no uncertain words. Also, maybe we'll see Adpocalypse 2: Electric Boogaloo? Anyway, fuck that guy, and woohoo about the movie!

Sheepless

I was actually dreading watching your forest video a few weeks back only to find it very tastefully made, I liked how you treated it like a local would. It’s quite sad that such sensationalism towards topics in Japan are exploited by idiots, I’ve been to Japan and I don’t get why these foreign Youtubers flock to negativity. Also, these people are not kids. They are in their 20s and are adults, they are readily exploiting kids. I’m really disappointed with how YouTube is responding to this, and how they are degrading their own platform. But, I would like to thank you for your positivity and always making my (and many others) day whenever you post something. I hope you have a wonderful 2018.

Lyn Dee

Bless you for making this post. I heard about that mess yesterday and was really curious to see if you'd respond to it at all, as it would have been completely understandable if you refused to give him any attention. Your response is great in that it absolutely tears him a new one, but in a very serious and calm way. I'm sure if he saw what you said he'd tell you to piss off because it struck a nerve. ANYWAY. I'm so freaking excited for Natsuki: The Movie and I'm putting the date on my calendar right now. Have a great new year, good sir, and thank you so much for your great work!

That's one nice Firebird.

Round of applause at this post

Super excited for the movie. I hadn’t heard about Logan Paul, but from what you’ve said you’ve shown more decency and humanity in this one post than he’s clearly ever been capable of. If I needed faith in humanity restored, then you’ve already done that with your response.

Cant wait for the movie, and i hope you had a happy new year.

So excited for the movie. (^.^)

Since the whole crap with Logan Paul sent down I've suggested your Aokigahara video to multiple people as an example of a video that treats the place with the respect it deserves. It isn't a place you go for "just a good time"

Ben C Brown

Happy New Year to you and the others! Hope you had a nice time with friends during christmas and new year. I already read about that disgusting person all over my timeline... I'm glad you commented it here and found harsh words for this behavior. I hope he loose lots of followers... but as you wrote I'm sad that he received many likes and comments for his video and most likely many people will take a look at his videos and generate clicks just because they are curious now that the read about him :( but lets see what karma has planned for him now. And now enough of it and just focus on looking forward to Natsuki The Movie and many other great videos this year from you! <3

Thanks for adressing the paul fuckery, also fuck that guy. Hope for 2018, natsuki save us all

Trust me, it was worth delaying an extra few weeks for the snazzy footage in the above screen grab alone!

Abroad in Japan

So happy about the movie. Good job on completion. I know you worked hard on it. Send my best to Natsuki. Well said Chris about the disgusting behavior of an idiot on youtube. This is why I sponsor you because of your great content! Thanks

I had my hopes for early january, but as long as it's eventually coming out I'm happy

That's the most eloquent response I've read anywhere about the Logan Paul video. I'd never heard of the guy before. Now I know to stay away.

I was surprised at first that you didn't make a video response but i'm glad you didn't; i put up a youtube video explaining that if we feed the drama it grows to more than what it needs to be! Also I can't wait to see Natsuki the Movie! I'll try to hesitate remixing the song at the end just this once ;) haha! Here's to 2018!
