Abroad in Japan Merchandise Officially Open! (Early to Patreon)
Added 2017-09-24 15:54:46 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend so far!
AND SO FINALLY, after a million years, the Abroad in Japan merchandise store is officially open, with five exciting and original designs, combining aspects of Japanese culture, with a retro 80's vibe, along with catchphrases from the videos.
It's taken a few months to get here, but we wanted to make sure we had something we'd be proud to sell, and proud to wear, and having spent the last month using the Like a Magic mug, wearing the Fuck Sake t-shirt, relaxing on the Love Hotel pillow and writing in the Natsuki Fucking Cleaner notebook, I can safely say, all of these products look bloody brilliant and are awesome quality (something which I find to be rare with Youtuber merchandise unfortunately).
I'll be talking about it in tomorrow's Patreon Vlog video, but I thought I'd share the store with you now, for those of you who are keen to check it out (and even buy things!).

I'm going to announce the store gradually over the next two weeks - first here on Patreon, then on Twitter and Facebook later in the week, and finally on Youtube next week.
Over the coming days, I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts, so we make sure we get the launch absolutely right, before we announce it to over half a million subscribers (this sounds a lot more impressive than it is, hehe).
With that in mind, let me know what you think of the store and the designs, either in the comments below or over Patreon messenger!
For now though folks, enjoy perusing through the designs and products, and I look forward to tempting you into buying them in the coming days.
- Though hopefully the designs are so glorious, you wont need too much tempting ;)
See you tomorrow!
Chris

Ordered my Fuck Sake shirt 😁
2017-09-29 07:53:26 +0000 UTCI wouldn't think so, from experience it seems RedBubble orders are made and posted near to whereever you are in the world, it seems UK orders are made in and posted within the UK

2017-09-26 18:40:00 +0000 UTCMy one complaint is that as a tall person 2XL's don't cut it. Other then that, fantastic job mate!!!!
2017-09-26 15:01:20 +0000 UTCShould I expect to pay import duty for items delivered to the UK?
2017-09-26 12:10:43 +0000 UTCWhen you want to buy everything but have $7.03 to your name... On payday, guess who's going postal in yo' sto'? I'm IN LOVE with the "Like a Magic" clock! Wish you had Android option for phone cases. Agree the navigation isn't so great but maybe explain how necessary the Filter option is in your video.
2017-09-26 06:30:56 +0000 UTCJust got 2 tops. can't wait to go the gym in my F酒CK SAKE top!
2017-09-25 19:15:58 +0000 UTCFor those who haven't ordered yet, Redbubble sent out a today only sale code with 20% off: Use code STEPRIGHTUP at checkout. Expires September 25, 2017 at 11:59pm PT. So if you buy today, you could get more stuff...
2017-09-25 13:47:07 +0000 UTCFantastic, I'll be sure to buy a throw pillow next month

2017-09-25 08:11:50 +0000 UTCI meant the latter, not the former! This comment interface is hell on my smartphone..

2017-09-25 08:07:24 +0000 UTCSo let's say I want to order a 'like a magic ' T-shirt in blue, which I do! Should I believe the description which says 'black background', or the preview picture which shows the print directly on a blue background? I hope it's the former... (Feels weird that the first thing I ever direct your way is a customer service question, by the way! So let me say I've really been enjoying your videos over the past months!)

2017-09-25 08:03:32 +0000 UTCYeah I completely agree; I had trouble working it out to be honest. It's pretty frustrating as there's not much I can do about it, and yet the navigation is incredibly important.

2017-09-25 00:49:20 +0000 UTCThe navigation is confusing because it doesnt work as you would expect. When you go to a department or product it has 'All Whatever' selected but its not actually displaying all products in that section. You have to select a subcategory, meaning Its easy to miss something that you're looking for. Aside from that I'm definitely going to buy some stuff later, its looks great.
2017-09-25 00:29:09 +0000 UTCTime for some early Christmas shopping. Well, time for some sleep first, then some shopping :)
2017-09-25 00:19:13 +0000 UTCIt's on there! Filter for "Stationary" and it'll come up under Spiral Notebooks

2017-09-25 00:06:25 +0000 UTCIt's doable! The option is on there!

2017-09-25 00:04:57 +0000 UTCI had the same issue actually; they're under "Home Deco" on the products page and you'll find the page for mugs there!

2017-09-25 00:04:08 +0000 UTCDisappointed by the lack of "Like a Magic" notebook.

2017-09-25 00:03:31 +0000 UTCHaha that's pretty lucky - I think I paid twice that for shipping to Japan!
Abroad in Japan
2017-09-25 00:02:14 +0000 UTCThat seems pricey? Did you choose express shipping? (As I know that's far pricier than regular shipping)

2017-09-24 23:55:47 +0000 UTCYou could make this into an actual sake' brand drink "for fuck sake' "
2017-09-24 23:52:49 +0000 UTCI would love to buy the Love Hotel design on a shirt instead of a pillow. I, personally would get more use out of that. Totally understand if it's not doable.
2017-09-24 23:31:45 +0000 UTCI cannot wait for payday next week to order the for fucks sake vest in black! I love it!!! I just hope you have them in stock!! My birthday is coming up so I've dropped some hints for the hoodie, bag and whatever else anyone sees fit! ❤️ Haha. The merchandise looks incredible, love designs and love the product and I'm so happy the prices aren't extortionate either!! Very reasonable!
2017-09-24 22:32:00 +0000 UTCI woke up at 6am for Uni... I checked my emails.. and I saw this. Never have I ever jumped out of bed so fast to get to my laptop to order this merchandise. BUT NOW YOU HAVE MY MONEY AND IM SO HAPPY
2017-09-24 21:16:15 +0000 UTCtime to spend money...
2017-09-24 20:33:41 +0000 UTCDid not see mugs? I must have a magic mug and tee
2017-09-24 20:17:11 +0000 UTCI really love the designs....the Like A Magic and the Fucking Cleaner are my favorite ones. At least a couple of these have to belong to me soon.

2017-09-24 18:33:03 +0000 UTCI am actually surprised of the shipping price. It costs like 3.70 dollars to deliver it to my tiny god forgotten Estonia. More likely I will get the sake one next month
saiko
2017-09-24 18:17:49 +0000 UTCI want that rad 80's "Like A Magic" design on everything. Just so happens I need some sofa pillows! Love the designs! I'm going shopping right now!! 😃✌️

2017-09-24 18:15:53 +0000 UTCordered*
2017-09-24 18:08:51 +0000 UTCI just order my "For Fuck's Sake" shirt!! I'm so excited!!
2017-09-24 18:08:21 +0000 UTCJust ordered 2 tshirts and the pillow! Justice good! ;)
2017-09-24 17:39:32 +0000 UTCJob well fucking done... Enough said
2017-09-24 17:32:57 +0000 UTCJust got the sake shirt and hotel shirt. I'm so excited the designs were available for the shirts, too. I thought I was going to have to order a pillow for the hotel design. And best of all, they should be here before my trip so I can wear them while I'm there.
2017-09-24 17:01:47 +0000 UTCYay, it's finally here!! Your fan/designer gets two big thumbs up. I hope you guys are able to come up with even more merch in the future. :) As for Redbubble, I've ordered clothes from there numerous times and I can vouch for the quality. (Ladies, if you're on a budget and just looking for something basic, the unisex t-shirt is really comfy and cheaper than many of the women's cuts.)
2017-09-24 17:01:43 +0000 UTCI got my FFS racerback and some stickers! Cannot wait.
2017-09-24 16:51:41 +0000 UTCwohoo! click! aaand bought! Can´t wait for my shirts!
2017-09-24 16:50:55 +0000 UTCCan't wait for my For Fuck's Sake shirt!
Romano Basabas
2017-09-24 16:49:10 +0000 UTCYeah I noticed this also, the font doesn't change on the white shirt base and the writing is still white and needs to be inverted to black but other than that looks amazing!
2017-09-24 16:45:38 +0000 UTCOrder placed! Such a pity the women's clothes don't come in plus sizes, have contented myself with ordering from the men's section instead. Can't wait for my package now! :D
2017-09-24 16:34:15 +0000 UTCjust bought a shirt and a pillow! Cost $82 after shipping :O Hope the quality is as good as the designs :)
2017-09-24 16:19:33 +0000 UTCThe shirts look great! Can't wait to order 😁

2017-09-24 16:19:30 +0000 UTCThat's great! Will definitely get a Sake shirt and maybe a pillow for my couch :D
2017-09-24 16:15:32 +0000 UTCDefinitely going to order the Fuck sake shirt tomorrow!
2017-09-24 16:13:57 +0000 UTCThe shirts look really good! Just bought two :)
2017-09-24 16:12:57 +0000 UTCwill order in 60mins! :)
2017-09-24 16:12:55 +0000 UTCFucking cleaner shirt and hoodie are already up on his store :)
2017-09-24 16:10:46 +0000 UTCStoked for my FFS shirt. You might turn off some of the shirt colors that don’t work so people actually have less choice in color. White text on a white shirt for example doesn’t make sense. Are you going to make a Natsuki The Movie special shirt when you release it?
2017-09-24 16:09:37 +0000 UTCThose look amazing! I think im gonna buy that like a magic shirt! 😁 if youre gonna add more please consider making a fucking cleaner shirt/hoodie!
2017-09-24 16:05:44 +0000 UTCI think the Sake tees are the best. I'll order one now! Do you still have a PO Box? I want to send some stuff before I leave Japan.
2017-09-24 16:05:43 +0000 UTCGoing to get a hoodie and shirt I think, just need to stare at the calendar till payday arrives. Nice variety of items though Chris.
2017-09-24 16:04:11 +0000 UTCWill take a nose now. Husband heard me mention I was going to look and he asked if you had a "Are you aware of your own defect" shirt. Will have to get him a Sake one instead :)
2017-09-24 16:00:17 +0000 UTCJust bought two, I was waiting for the site to go live. Thank you! 😊
