Hey folks!
So, it's bloody good to be back in Japan in the full swing of things! I was blown away by the positive reaction to the most recent video (Why I've Not Made Videos Recently) and the trailer. The video got over 10,000 likes on its first day, which was very encouraging.
I'd love to give you the run down on the various videos we've got out this week, so you've got plenty to look forward to throughout the week!
26 Things To Do When You Arrive in Japan | Abroad in Japan
So last week I made a post on FB & Twitter, asking people what they did or what they plan to do, when arriving in Japan. There were over 500 awesome responses, and we're going to go through the best and rank them from 1 to 10, throwing in my own experiences along the way. For anyone coming to Japan, it should be a great resource for ideas and inspiration (some of the responses were fairly entertaining as well).
Japanese Guy Prepares to Visit Europe | Abroad in Japan
Similar to the video back in March where Natsuki had his first English lesson, we follow Natsuki one last time in his quest to learn English before filming in Europe. The one in March is one of my favourite videos we've had this year (for sheer comedic value due to Natsuki's wackiness), and this one is even more hilarious than the last. As per usual, Natsuki comes out with absolute gold.
Lunch with Natsuki | Abroad Perspective
Tomorrow Natsuki and I hanging out for the day and catching up - I plan to vlog our lunch together and some arcade games thereafter. Join us on our stroll around town!
ALSO Next month's Patreon exclusive video is 'How I Produce Videos: From Start to Finish', where I'll be detailing the creative process for how these videos get made. From conception and writing, to filming, editing and marketing. It'll be invaluable to anyone considering going into the wacky world vlogging, but also interesting in general I hope - particularly to those working in creative fields!
If you've missed the exclusives 'Why I Moved to Japan' or 'How I Learned Japanese', be sure to check them out at the links below:

I'll leave you with the craziest thing I saw this weekend - something I didn't even know existed; high-speed Japanese sumo robots.
I'm dangerously tempted to go and film them first hand - but LOOK at this madness. Our terrifying robotic future awaits: https://goo.gl/ps6W52
