My Apology to Chris Broad from Abroad in Japan

Hello and welcome back to a new video. So

today I wanted to make an apology to Chris

Broad from the Abroad in Japan channel.

Uh, recently I found out that Chris was

doing a livestream with this Japanese guy

and apparently he mentions me, so we're

going to watch, have a look at, see what—

bleh. First of all, let's have a look at

what he has to say about me.

Um, crikey.

What's the story behind the supposed beef

and suggested betrayal between Brawn Japan

and a channel called Hiding in My Room?

The story is Hiding in My Room, uh, is a

YouTube channel by a guy called Daniel,

and we went— we both went to the same

school as each other, and we tried to meet

up once in Osaka, but we didn't because I

was very tired and busy filming Journey

Across Japan. And he got angry and made a

video about why he hates me. And that's

the end of that story. I hope Daniel's

doing right though. I wish him well. So

first of all, I just wanted to say it

really touched me when Chris said that he

wished me well and he hoped I was doing

well. I acted so immaturely.

I acted like a stupid little whining

crybaby just because he didn't want to

meet me or he forgot to message me about

meeting up, and I made a stupid video

whining about it, trying to get views by

using his name, which kind of worked. I

have to admit, it did pretty well. I think

it has 100,000 views now. So although I am

a bit ashamed of my behavior and what I

did to get the views, it kind of worked,

and I did make nearly $300. So I'm pretty

pleased with that. Not boasting, but just

saying that it worked out pretty well for

me. What I was trying to say was that I

acted so childishly and I was kind of rude

towards Chris, and I made a whole video

using his name for views, putting Abroad

in Japan in the title and the tags to get

his viewers to watch it because I can't

get my own viewers to watch my stuff these

days. And even after I was a bit of a dick

towards him and whined and cried about it,

To hear him say that he wishes me well,

it just made me think, wow, Chris is so

nice. Such a nice, friendly guy. So

mature. That's what an adult should be.

You think of an adult, you think of what

an adult should be, and that's just Chris.

He's like— you think, wow, Chris is such

an adult. I mean, Chris is just like the

definition of what being an adult should

be. You should look up in the dictionary

adult and then his face should be next to

the word adult. I don't know if it's

because I've been saying it so many times,

but the word adult is starting to sound

really weird now. You just can't even

imagine the level of maturity it must take

to be nice and friendly to someone who

slagged you off for his own personal gain.

I've had my fair share of tantrums on

YouTube whenever I felt like someone did

me wrong or did something that I didn't

like, I, I never shied away from making a

rant video about it, whinging and crying

about how much I didn't like what that

person did to me. And it made me think,

how come I'm not mature and nice and

friendly like Chris is? I think if it was

the reverse situation and it was someone

else having a go at me because I didn't

want to go and meet them. They made a

whole video whinging about how they didn't

like me. I'd be kind of annoyed, to be

honest. I'd be like, screw you too. I

don't owe you anything. I didn't owe you a

drink. I don't think I would have the

maturity to be nice and friendly back to

that guy. I wouldn't be able to say

something like, I hope he's doing well. I

don't think I would hope he was doing

well. I'd hope— I'd probably hope he got

hit by a bus. But to hear Chris say that

he wishes me well, it just Wow, that just

touched my heart in such a warm and

glowing way that it nearly brought a tear

to my eye, and it kind of made me feel bad

and guilty about the way I acted

and the way I treated Chris. And I just

really wanted to say I'm sorry, very

sorry. I'm so sorry I acted childishly,

and I said rude things about you,

towards you. And I'm also sorry if I

caused any damage to your brand. If I

caused you to lose any viewers, then I'm

also sorry for that. And I also wanted to

say that I don't hate you, Chris. I never

hated you. Maybe I exaggerated how upset I

was a little bit, But I was disappointed

that I didn't get to meet you. And maybe

you won't believe this, but I am actually

a big fan of your channel, and I've been

watching your videos— I can't even

remember when I started watching them. I

think I noticed your channel first when

you were on some kind of Skype call with

Victor, GimmeABreakMan, and you were

talking about videos and stuff. You were

really small back then, but I've always

enjoyed your content, and that was why I

was so excited about the idea of being

able to meet you. Even though I don't live

in Japan anymore and I'm not even that

interested in Japan anymore, I still watch

most of your videos whenever I see a new

upload from Abroad in Japan because

they're just— they're really good videos.

I probably said something about how I

think your channel sucks and your videos

suck But I don't really think that. I

think your videos— I think your videos are

great. Probably one of the best videos on

all of YouTube, and the editing's really

good. The filmography is great.

The music's great. Everything's great.

You really can't find anything to complain

about when it comes to Abroad in Japan

videos. You can really tell that he cares

about making videos and he's passionate

about what he's talking about and what

he's doing. You can really see that

shining through in the final result.

I really envy that he cares so much about

Japan and he knows so much about it and

he's always learning new stuff about

Japan. He's not faking it. He's not just

doing it so he can get views. You can

really tell that this is what he's

interested in. This is what he wants to

do. I guess in a way it kind of reminds me

of my younger self when I was also really

into Japan. I loved everything about Japan

and I was always fascinated about learning

new things about Japan. I don't know what

happened, but somewhere along the line,

somewhere along the way, I just became

bitter and jaded when it comes to anything

Japan-related, and I just lost interest.

In pretty much everything I was interested

in when I was younger. So in conclusion,

I guess I wanted to say thanks for

not taking my stupid video that I made

last year about you seriously. Thanks for

not getting all upset about it. And to

hear him say that he wishes me well even

after all of the stuff I did last year—

wow, that just really warmed my heart.

Thank you, Chris. And if anyone here

listening is interested in Japan, life in

Japan, and you don't know Abroad in

Japan's channel for some reason— I don't

know how you would not know about it, but

in case you did not know about his

channel, you should definitely check it

out and subscribe to him because he

makes good stuff.
