Patreon Vlog | Where have I been filming this week?
Added 2017-11-28 18:13:05 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I hope you've all had a great week so far!
In this week's vlog I discuss the recent trip to film a couple of videos, the outcome of last week's speech to the high school students, whether or not I'll get a drone, and a weird turn of events that may or may not be a big deal later this week!
As well as the vlog, I've also attached the presentation to this post, in all its glory, containing the 33 reasons to learn English; a collective effort and one which I'm grateful for! Many thanks for your help on putting it all together!
For now though, enjoy this week's vlog guys (in glorious 60fps) and I'll chat to you in the next few days!

Four years later and most of us have facemasks stitched to our faces, all across the world. Who'd have thunk it? And you met Watanabe San. Woop!
2021-12-23 10:47:10 +0000 UTCNice and funny PowerPoint presentation. However, why did you rise the kids' expectation that English may help them travel also to France by including that Eiffel tower image? Admitted, you will still get better reactions than speaking German to the Frensh, but that does not make it a good idea.

2021-07-13 12:57:38 +0000 UTCWatching this almost 3 year later, wonder how the feeling about masks are today compared to then.

2017-12-19 19:11:29 +0000 UTCHere in North America people don't give a shit about who they cough on. I mean, I've been on public transportation where I would literally feel the cough on my neck. As a result, I don't go outside anymore. I have a disease which can flare up when I contract a virus, and when it does, it gives me brain lesions. So to me, the Japanese people's face mask habit is horribly rare common sense. Face masks restrict the quantity of microdroplets which sprays in the air, carrying virus, when you cough (or even talk).
2017-12-07 13:56:35 +0000 UTCPuts Natsuki to shame with Coolness? I'll believe it when I see it.
2017-12-05 01:10:49 +0000 UTCJust wanted to point out to everyone that MY REASON IS #4 in Chris' "Reasons to Learn English" presentation. And #17. Haha, suck it ;-) #ImHarry #AlsoJanet #AlsoLulu #MultiplePersonalitiesMuch
2017-12-04 21:28:09 +0000 UTCThe hate mail videos are some of my favorites to re-watch. Really, you're the only channel (that isn't cooking) that I rewatch the videos from.

2017-12-03 03:33:00 +0000 UTCI wish those face masks were the norm here in the States. People come to work sick ALL THE TIME and it inevitably spreads throughout the department. YOU HAVE SICK TIME, PEOPLE, FREAKIN USE IT ALREADY.
2017-12-02 02:47:51 +0000 UTCRe rewatching videos, my fav of yours is the Crime in Japan/Cat Shit One video because it is so hilarious. I also like the crazy English ones, the videos about stores, fast food like McDonaldβs and KFC. Do an Xmas in Japan vid please.
2017-11-30 06:30:07 +0000 UTCi do miss those commentary videos!!!
2017-11-30 05:48:33 +0000 UTCCongrats on the award! Wonder if it's for the doco you did with NHK World. We saw that here in Australia and it was brilliant!!
2017-11-30 02:36:28 +0000 UTCOT - wondering if you've seen the 'sponsor' option (button) that YouTube has started rolling out in Beta. I guess it's in response to the whole 'demonetisation' fiasco. I just saw it on Simon and Martina's latest video and it looks interesting but possibly not as flexible for supporters as Patreon.
2017-11-30 01:50:04 +0000 UTCYeah, travel videos are cool and all, but I'm really starting to miss the good old scripted videos :) looking forward to that :)

2017-11-29 19:06:43 +0000 UTCIt looks like a workstation laptop, Sherry. They're large, but powerful. Likely used for heavy duty editing of his videos.

2017-11-29 17:45:44 +0000 UTCApparently you have TWICE the amount of subscribers as Simply Red. Achievement unlocked.
2017-11-29 16:16:20 +0000 UTCHopefully Ken Watanabe will be there ;=)
2017-11-29 15:37:33 +0000 UTCDelighted to hear about the award, I mention you a lot to my clients, and hopefully some of them will now realise that you are the person that their instructor AndMac keeps encouraging them to watch as an insight into how British people view Japanese people and culture.
2017-11-29 15:07:21 +0000 UTCHuge thumbs up for 60 fps! I smiled when you said that you would like to go back to doing comedy and commentary-oriented videos again. You're a great cinematographer and you have a sense of style in your editing that sets you apart from the rest, but I miss one-liners like "this coconut-mango-milk shake will make your skin three times less flammable" , and your parody of trendy and crowdpleasing YouTubers. I shall be looking forward to your futures. And congratulations on the award!

2017-11-29 13:08:24 +0000 UTCI'm so excited for you, congratulations :)
2017-11-29 13:06:53 +0000 UTCOh hmm, good point. This may be part of another Ryotoro-is-trying-to-kill-Chris plot...
2017-11-29 09:02:42 +0000 UTCI understand wanting to get back to your original style videos but please keep doing some of the travel style as well-they are great and helpful.
2017-11-29 08:28:41 +0000 UTCNo Christmas decorations?

2017-11-29 07:31:51 +0000 UTCSweet! Excited!! Love the 60 FPS too!

2017-11-29 02:45:53 +0000 UTCHey mate, I'm excited to hear about the plan for next year! All the best and get well soon!
2017-11-29 02:45:42 +0000 UTCCongratulations on the award (although the cynic on me fears that Ryotaro is luring you to some elaborate Japanese game show)! Looking forward to you making more of the content you love next year. Your earlier videos inspired me and my family to take our first trip to Japan last year, and you continue to assist us in our understanding and love of Japanese culture. In fact, I visited beautiful Kamakura and ventured into Shinjuku on your recommendation a couple of weeks ago, and we will be visiting the Tohoku region next autumn as part of a longer family trip. Thanks so much.
2017-11-29 00:28:37 +0000 UTCIf you ever need a cameraman in Japan again just let me know. Iβd be happy to help. Congratulations on the award.
2017-11-29 00:07:00 +0000 UTCAlright, I guess Iβm looking forward to next year then. I really love your older content and would to see more in that style. Traveling too much takes away a bit of the magic.

2017-11-28 23:09:16 +0000 UTCWhat kind of computer is that behind you? Looks a cross between a desk top and a laptop.
2017-11-28 22:48:04 +0000 UTCCongrats on the golden diamond award! It will be interesting to hear what exactly it details. I like the upcoming year plan as well. I do miss the videos where youβre complaining about a hawk outside or reading out the hilarious hate commentary. Going back to your roots sounds fun!
Laura Beaumont
2017-11-28 22:42:45 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the travel videos and also next year. And have a nice time at the TV show :)
2017-11-28 20:39:11 +0000 UTCOMG I just kind of understood what Natsuki was saying in Japanese in the video at the end of the PowerPoint! Context helped, but that's never happened before! Awesome. And a fun presentation by the looks of it!

2017-11-28 20:16:22 +0000 UTCWow, that's Chris Okano's drone shots in two other YouTubers' videos in one day! (he was also in Life Where I'm From today) I hope he got something out of it too :). Looking forward to the next few videos and news about that award!
Nynke de Haas
2017-11-28 20:01:16 +0000 UTCYou have one of those fan bases where you could make a video of you sitting there watching paint dry and it would somehow entertain us
2017-11-28 19:52:32 +0000 UTCOh man the Powerpoint is bloody brilliant
