ASK ABROAD LIVE | First ever!
Added 2016-08-24 06:20:32 +0000 UTCSo the votes are in and it looks like most of you have voted to see my morning face.
The show will be this Friday at 8am Japan time.
If you're in Europe this'll be around midnight on Thursday and if you're in the US, you win because you'll be able to watch early Thursday evening.
It'll be hosted on the secret second channel and unlisted, so the only way to access it is through this link: https://youtu.be/bM2QA8j9fjI
In the run up to the event please your comments, questions and topics for discussion below!
Questions can be about anything; living in Japan, travel, teaching, Japanese, YouTube, Natsuki, etc. Feel free to ask me anything - either in the box below, or in the chat box on the live show.
I'll also be giving you a round-up of recent and upcoming projects and videos, as well as reading Comment of the week and Most annoying comment of the week from the Abroad in Japan channel.
And for those of you who really can't make it, you can submit your questions here: https://goo.gl/forms/NegLFKYsUSwNicIn1
I'm looking forward to seeing you all there!(And apologies in advance for my morning face).
Best,
Chris

It's not really a question, but I think that you are a good youtuber regardless of not posting videos frequently.
2016-08-26 00:08:19 +0000 UTCMight take Japanese as a class in University - would you recommend it?

2016-08-25 22:51:44 +0000 UTCWhat Japanese textbooks would you recommend? Also are you planning on doing any more learning Japanese tip videos? I like how you're both informative and funny at the same time. It really motivates me to study. I have A.D.D so motivation doesn't always come easy for me.
2016-08-25 22:38:43 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing that, Chris! I've only ever heard it as a sample in this mix before <a href="https://youtu.be/SgjVcea8G2E" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/SgjVcea8G2E</a> The original is ACE! Looking forward to the show later. Enjoy!

2016-08-25 21:18:28 +0000 UTCWould you recommend the 'Black Man' underwear brand? Breathability an issue? :P Oh and top things to do in Tokyo that aren't tourist traps?

2016-08-25 20:55:35 +0000 UTCWhat is the best Japanese toy store you've been to or would like to go to? Also on the subject of Otaku culture: do you read manga?

2016-08-25 20:15:09 +0000 UTCSad I am going to miss it live, but I will catch it on the video link after! My question is - Have you successfully felt like you have fully transitioned to living in Japan, and not as a 'foreigner living in Japan'. Do you feel as if you can claim Japan as your home, and not as just a place where you 'happen to be living'. If that makes any sense at all. B.t.w You are right. September by Earth Wind and Fire might just be the greatest album ever.

2016-08-25 15:55:56 +0000 UTCLoving the playlist Louise! Awesome stuff! I'm going to listen to this on repeat while I'm writing! I'm seriously into Japanese disco stuff at the moment. Here's a song I'm currently hooked to: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unzqfadqtq0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unzqfadqtq0</a>

2016-08-25 15:23:35 +0000 UTCAre you planning on organising meet ups with your viewers? I just moved to Japan and I'd love to meet you in person.

2016-08-25 14:19:06 +0000 UTCDo you cook much? If so, do you still lean towards western foods or have you adopted Japanese recipes and techniques?
2016-08-25 02:38:59 +0000 UTC1) I don't drive. Bearing in mind JET might place you smack bang in a rural town, would living in Japan be super lame without a car? 2) Have you seen any Noh or Kabuki theatre? 3) I'm pleased you love 80s music as much as I do! (Hopefully you like Japan the band, as well as the place!) I'd love to know about any amazing Japanese music you've heard, be it from the past or contemporary. As a thank you for your amazing vids, here are my favorite 80s Japanese songs compiled for thee in a YouTube playlist - <a href="http://bit.ly/2bj4SyT" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2bj4SyT</a> BONUS LEVEL: Here's some Future Funkin' Japanese disco samplin' rad sounds I've compiled for you to body pop to - <a href="https://soundcloud.com/decocode/sets/futurefunk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/decocode/sets/futurefunk</a>

2016-08-24 22:21:21 +0000 UTCHas there been a time during your stay in Japan that you wanted to stop making Youtube content and scrap the channel, and if so, what caused it? Also, would you ever consider doing a video on the wacky world of Japanese professional wrestling, like NJPW?
2016-08-24 19:44:16 +0000 UTCNot Japan related but top 5 favourite albums?
Yvette
2016-08-24 14:46:28 +0000 UTCWhat simple thing was hard to do when you first arrived in Japan?
2016-08-24 14:40:28 +0000 UTCChris, what's your opinion of Akihabara and the Otaku culture?
Preston Farnham
2016-08-24 13:09:47 +0000 UTCWhat is something you believe Japan does the absolute best at with the rest of the world lagging behind?
2016-08-24 13:03:19 +0000 UTCSadly I can't stay awake until 1am, since I have to work from 7.30am the next morning :-/
2016-08-24 12:10:28 +0000 UTCHaha the benefits of being in the same time zone. Coffee and a live stream on a Friday morning what more could i ask for...
Joshua Ives
2016-08-24 07:00:11 +0000 UTCYes and you can expect to see it featured throughout the live video ;-)
