Hey folks!
I hope you've all had a great week, wherever you are in the world!
So, to say it's been a crazy and eventful week would be an understatement.
First of all, the Tokyo Capsule Hotel went super viral and ended up with 1,000,000 views in its first week, smashing all previous records on the channel (before that the Love Hotel video held the previous record).

Then a few days ago we released the Learning Japanese with Natsuki video, on the Abroad Perspective channel, which got featured on Reddit, thanks to Natsuki's infectious laughter.

I've just released this week's Abroad in Japan video '4 Ways Living in Japan Changed Me', which is off to a great start so far. It's also the 100th video to be released on the channel, which is an awesome milestone, that I can't quite believe!

And I'm now just putting the final touches to the Learning Japanese video. In the meantime, there's a little bonus video for you guys.
This week Ryotaro and I went to Sado Island in the sea of Japan and filmed a new video, which will be out next week. It was an amazing trip - the scenery, the food, the people - it was fantastic. Above there's an exlusive little trailer for you guys I put together today, with one of my favourite Japanese 80's songs. (I'm really into 80's Japanese funk at the moment. I listen to it all day).

If you have any questions or anything I can help you with, as always let me know.
Also, I just want to say a huge thanks for your support - all of the things I've just written above are thanks to you guys for giving the channel the means to grow and expand. If Patreon hadn't been successful last year, there's no doubt in my mind the channel would probably have been wound down gradually.
Thanks to you all, we've gone the complete opposite direction and the last 6 months have seen tons of amazing videos, including some of the best ever videos released on the channel so far.
And with Natsuki the movie filming in just two months in London, there's certainly plenty more to look forward to.
