What do you think Chris's 12 reasons for hating living in Japan? Let's give it a listen. I miss the angry rats. Sometimes I don't really like all the

dramatic intro and the silly voices Chris does in his videos. Can't he just get to the point? You know he does the 12 things I hate about living in Japan when he doesn't have any ideas. This is like an easy Q&A type of videos you can easily do in your studio. Let's talk about the 5 things I

love about Japanese nightlife.

It's what a YouTuber does when he doesn't have any big content ideas.

You've got to learn what women— you've got to learn to say what women want to hear. I know what they want to hear, it's just I hate having to play the game and say what they want me to say because I just want to say no, love is stupid, people just want to smash.

This— I want to see what Chris says. We love everything about Japan. Can you hear it? Oh, I'm sorry, Chris is too happy and nice now. You want a rant, you get a rant. This is going to be the angriest video I've ever made. Truth is though, I like Japan a lot and I'm still discovering things about

the culture. Case in point, just yesterday I discovered a Japanese hip-hop band called Creepy Nuts. How can you be living in Japan for like 15 years and it's still stuff you're discovering about the culture. Japanese culture is not that deep, really. Yeah, Creepy Nuts! And to be honest, that's one of the better Japanese-English band names. Creepy Nuts

are up. That's not really the culture though, is it? It's just like a band with a funny name. I don't know what that has anything to do with discovering something about the country's culture. There alongside other bands including Mrs. Wiener, Asparagus, Rhythmic Toy World. Yeah, and of course Knockout Monkey. This is making fun of English band names

in Japan. Kicked out of London. And one of the most famous bands in Japan is called Mr. Children, so they're not exactly known for having cool sounding English band names, are they? Gee, anyway, I didn't come here to reel off questionable band names, even though Definitely should. That could be a great video. I came here to be

angry. Maybe I'll steal his video idea. Top 5 questionable band names in Japan. Very angry indeed. So here's 12 things I hate about Japan and why I hate them. Some of them potentially controversial, but feel free to keep a running score out of 12 and see if you're as twisted and as bitter as I am.

Paycheck. Now if you don't know what a hostess club— hostess clubs— known in Japanese is Why does he hate hostess clubs? Has he been to one? Basically a bar where you come in, sit down, sit amongst some girls who pour your drinks, light your cigarettes, flirt with you, and massage your fragile ego. And it's a genius idea

in many ways because every single guy that walks in through that door and blows a few hundred bucks can delude themselves into thinking that they are popular. She said, I think so too. I want to be the lucky one to find that. I said, yeah, that would be nice. I should have said, uh, I already found true

love when I saw you for the first time.

I love you, baby, so much. That's what she wants me to say. I'm not going to say it cuz I will vomit in my mouth.

Wait, the game sound is too loud.

I need to listen to Chris.

The moment you walk in and sit down, the girl always asks if they can drink too, if they can join you. And naturally you have to say yes, so you end up paying for their drink and yours at the same time. And from that point on, their only role is to keep you there as long as possible,

plying you with alcohol and turning your wallet into a supermassive black hole. In many ways it kind of sounds exciting, right? Why do I feel like him complaining about hostess clubs is like a PR move. You think about it, he bashes the hostess club industry and it seems like he's standing up for women's rights. He's against the

objectification of women's bodies and he's against the seediness and the shadiness of having to pay women to give you services. So then all his like SJW lefty viewers going to be like, oh, this is why I love you, Chris, cuz you're against all this shadiness, sexualization of women. I feel like this is a bit of a PR

stunt here. I'm not fooled. And the first few times it is, you know, flirting with someone, singing karaoke, having a drink. It's like I can make a things I hate about Japan video and then say number one, oh, prostitution, those poor women being pushed into selling their bodies. I am so This is so upsetting. Women should have

to— women should never have to use their bodies in such a way, and they should be respected as people, cuz they are people and they're not just bobs and vagina. And then everyone would love me and say, wow, Daniel is so progressive, he stands up for women, that's why we love him.

Whoops, I just pressed the lock screen button. Is it still streaming?

I made a custom shortcut to lock the screen on my computer and I stupidly put it next to my web browser. It's still streaming, is it?

Testing. Oh

yeah, it's streaming.

I should make a response video to this. Why Chris is wrong. If women want to sell their good looks in exchange for money by just having some drinks, then that should be their choice. Fun. And you're kind of made to feel special. And even when you leave the venue, it still carries on. The illusion continues because they'll

take your phone number and message you throughout the day asking, oh, you know, when are you coming back? Let's carry on. And this is all well and good until you realize you're paying Hundreds of dollars for a date that can never ever lead anywhere. You could almost recreate the same experience. Actually, Chris, these dates do sometimes lead

somewhere because the woman can actually go back to the guy, guy's room, or the guy can take the girl to a hotel if the girl agrees to it, and obviously in exchange for more money. So it does lead to sex in a lot of cases where the guy can If he's got enough money, he can meet the

girl after hours outside of the club. And, uh, the club has like a pimp guy who has to manage the girls. I've heard about this somewhere else, I forgot where. Experience sitting alone in a room drinking a bottle of vodka and burning a small pile of money. In fact, that would probably be better. Once you've been to

a hostess club 10 times, you've had the same conversations, you basically realize it's like a very expensive version of Groundhog Day. The only upside is even though your bank balance is gone, you do get some complimentary nuts and snacks. Um, no creepy nuts though, unfortunately. I'll have that one. 10 shekel rule. Worse still, you're doing this while

surrounded by other drunken customers having their cash shoveled from their wallets like coal being stuffed into a fucking furnace. And to keep the customers there longer, they basically force you into doing karaoke in front of everyone, which leads me to point number 2 on my list of things I hate in Japan. It's weird to bring that up

as something to hate because if the guy is fine with paying money for some female company, then what is the harm in it? And if the girl is fine with offering some company in exchange for money, then what's the harm of it? It's not gonna be something Chris is gonna be into, but then he's not the target

audience since he's got a girlfriend and he thinks it's beneath him because he's so good-looking and such a Chad. He would never have to pay money in exchange for female services like some of us do. Oh yeah, uh, kampai. Yeah, you are— take whiskey as well.

Why is his number 2 karaoke? Really? He hates karaoke. I bet he's gonna say, oh, we have to listen to our friend's terrible singing ability. But the food isn't up to scratch, unfortunately. Avoid the food at the karaoke booth. You don't go to karaoke for food, you go there to sing music. Ears had never been invented. When

you finally crack and you seize the microphone and take your moment. Don't take money, don't take fame, don't need no credit card to ride this train. The only problem with karaoke is too much or you can drink, but you've got to do it. You've got to drink. I mean, I guess you have to appreciate the effort he

puts into a video like this. If I was making this video, it would just be me sitting in front of my camera with a white wall behind me for 12 minutes as I list off each point in a really monotone, boring way. At least he actually goes to the karaoke, films himself singing, takes some B-roll, sits next

to a toilet to illustrate his point. I would never go to such effort to make a video like this to get through it. Fortunately, Japanese toilets though aren't The best in the world. I love walking in and being greeted by a toilet opening up as if it desperately wants my custom. The seats are heated, and when you

sit down on it, it plays music like Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Now, I'm not obsessed with Chris, I'm just reacting to his video. Game-changing. But there is one thing about Japanese toilets that I hate, and that is this. He doesn't like the bidet. Oh, he doesn't like bidets. What? I enjoyed it, getting sprayed up the bum hole. It

felt quite nice, actually.

Some people live and die by these damn things, but to any reasonable person using it— although I do prefer using toilet paper, and because you use the bidet, it makes your bum all wet, and then you pull up your trousers and then you've got a wet bum, so you've got to use some toilet paper anyway. To dry

your wet bum, but then the toilet paper gets all wet and then tears up and gets stuck to your bum, and you've got bits of wet tissue stuck to your bum, and then you've got to like pick off the bits of tissue that's stuck to your bum, or you use a towel if you've got a towel, but

then you've got to wipe your wet bum on a towel. So you might as well just use the tissue paper from the beginning. A day can only feel like an invasive surgical procedure using a fucking Super Soaker. When I sit down on a toilet, I don't want it to be a 4D experience, right? And once you've had

one unexpectedly hit you automatically at full pressure with scalding hot water, you'll hate the damn things just as much as I did. The only thing I hate more than these damn things are the people that rave about them so relentlessly as if they're the second coming of Christ. I'm not gonna— I'm not gonna name any names right

now, but— Oh, Connor. Connor likes it a bit. Connor likes it a bit too much. Now unfortunately, the next thing on our list involves food, and for this one we're going undercover.

He seems very energetic in this video, like he's in a great mood. Mic test, test, 1, 2, 3. Oh, this is 27 minutes. Okay, this is tough. We're about to go in somewhere I've actively dreaded for a long time. Should I write in the comments, Chris copying my video again? Typical. Japan's blandest burger restaurant. I should go

back to Japan and copy all of his videos but make them really shit videos. I'm gonna copy all his videos but in a really crap way and make it way worse. Rather anemic patty. The bread's not too bad. I think my problem with Moss Burger is that sort of overhyped nature. People— yeah, I don't like Moss Burger

either. I once had a Moss Burger when I met this Japanese woman on Tinder. She was pretty fat, but 35 years old and down to F. We met at Moss Burger and the burger was so thick, but not in a good way. It had like this massive slice of tomato in it and there was so much sauce.

You pick it up And then the whole thing just explodes with sauce all over your hands. You try and bite into it and the back side of the burger just erupts with sauce. It's, it's too much sauce. They put way too much filling into the Moss Burgers. Oh my God, Moss Burger, it's like this amazing— it's Japan's

native burger brand. It's amazing. It's not. Just because Japan has its own burger brand doesn't mean I need to replace my girlfriend, she said. Does it mean to you? What does that mean?

What do you mean?

Does it mean to you? Oh, why yes, it does. It does mean to me very much.

I should say that it does mean to me. And yes. Look at this cardboard chips. Look at this sloppy messy burger in here, right? Instead of using a cheese— his Moss Burger doesn't look like the Moss Burger I had. Mine looked much better. Slices, they use like a pasty sauce that you'd use to put wallpaper on your

fucking bedroom wall. Calm down, Chris.

Numerous of the times I've been driving in Japan in the middle of nowhere, I would literally eat anything, and the only Anything I see is a Moss burger, and I think, oh, I'll carry on another forty kilometers. I'll hedge my bets. It's not to say Japan can't do good burgers. They can. Freshness Burger, a far better chain.

If I was trying to say something, I never had Freshness Burger. I had First Kitchen, which I think they shortened that down to fucky, don't they? Because First Kitchen Japanese is Fasto Kitchen. So they take the F A from Fasto. Or first. Yeah, for some reason they change first into fast, faster. So it's F-A and then K-I

from kitchen, and then they shorten it to fucky. The name Moss, right, it means mountains, ocean, and sea, and it's supposed to be about embracing life. But why couldn't they embrace a better— I see where she's going. She's saying, am I the lucky girl? Should I say maybe? Now she's directly asking me if She is the lucky

girl that is my true love. Yes, baby, you are my truest ever love in my holdest, widest world.

Um, what should I say? Is she the lucky girl?

Uh,

yes, and I'm

Your lucky guy,

smiley face.

Weird grammar, doesn't really make sense in proper English, but I think she'll kind of understand what I'm saying even in this weird phrase sentence.

How's my game doing? I am Still alive. The hiding in a corner tactic works pretty well.

See, it doesn't look this anemic. Look at the color. Look at that color. Doesn't like a burger. Even the first burger in 2 years, and I'm someone who eats out every day, so that's telling you something. Oh, I died. I've got a nice interior and the staff. Oh, rude. So tick there. I don't want to eat any

of this, but I'm going to. Out of respect for food, but I'm not coming here again. Take my business to Freshest Burger. So should you. Must Burger should sue him. Negative review. Given Japan is the country that gave us wonders such as Nintendo, Sega— wait.

PlayStation. You might think, what, the biggest game? Maybe it's one of those. Maybe it's arcade games or crane game machines. But no, he's going to complain about pachinko. Is none of these pachinko? It involves balls going around in a circle through a machine, and it is called pachinko. Yeah. But I have the biggest video about pachinko on

the entire YouTube platform. Yeah, it's got 10 million views. And despite that, despite making a video on the subject and going there and watching— pachinko does look really boring. You just sit there, you press a button, a load of metal balls drop down, and then you win more metal balls that you can exchange for prizes. And that

is Japan's answer to gambling because gambling's illegal in Japan. You're not allowed to play any kind of slots or stuff like that. It's kind of weird, isn't it?

Everything's illegal, like drugs, prostitution,

gambling.

Dingnatsky winners various prizes. Not only do I still not really understand the game, I absolutely don't understand the motivation behind people playing it. And yet, 1 in 10 people in Japan play pachinko, and it's worth $200 billion to the Japanese economy. For many, it's not so much a recreation—

I can hear something.

Is it my girlfriend?

I heard keys jangling. Let me check.

Nope, it's nothing. I don't think she would suddenly come home.

No activity as a gambling addiction, right? It is gambling, even though gambling in Japan is technically banned, it's not allowed, they have found ways around it. So when you go into pachinko, you win your ball bearings, you get your literal crate of ball bearings, take them to a person who turns it into a coupon. You take the

coupon, you go to a building that's quite literally around the back of the pachinko parlor, and someone there will buy your ticket for money, and off you go with your winnings. The only problem, of course, is as it's gambling, people are losing their money. The only real winner are the pachinko parlors. Now you might be wondering, why

do I hate it? What is it about pachinko that I despise so much? And there's 2 things really. Number one, when you're out in the countryside, you'll be driving through a decrepit town, everything looks run down, uh, unfortunately population dropping in rural areas around the country, and all of a sudden you'll see like a beam of light,

this sort of big building shining, glimmering like a ray of hope in this decrepit town. And then you'll get closer And you'll think, is it a shopping mall? Is it some sort of great business? No. I've seen him talk about this before. He's complained about pachinko a lot. I don't like it either because it's so loud. When

you walk past them, it's really loud. I can't imagine going inside of it. It would be deafening, wouldn't it? Did he lag? No, I think I just stopped moving my face so it looks like I disconnected like this.

Isn't that what that guy did in that show Man vs. Bee?

No, it's a pachinko parlor filled with cars, filled with people blowing their salary, wasting their time. It's usually, unfortunately, the brightest spot in many towns that you'll find around in rural Japan. And I used to find that so depressing when I was out there driving around. I'd see these buildings, I'd think, wow, that must be something good.

And then I discover it was a pachinko parlor and people were wasting their time blowing their money. And it's wasting time, that's the second thing I hate about pachinko, right? I've watched people play pachinko, right? You can see it in the video. Natsuki's sitting there, he twists this little handle, the balls get launched around, they go in

a circle, and somehow he wins million yen, which is quite a lot of money, about 500. Very good disclaimer saying there's nothing, nothing to do with Nintendo here this time. And they're wisely not selling this as a Mario Kart kind of experience as they were. Why does he hate the Mario Kart thing? For legal reasons. But there's

a company called Street Kart with a very good disclaimer saying there's nothing, nothing to do with Nintendo here this time. And then why doesn't Nintendo actually do this though? Why don't they make like a go-karting thing with actual Nintendo characters? Because I think it would do well because people love this knockoff version of it. Easily not selling

this as Mario Kart kind of experience as they were before. Now, why am I against this? What do I hate so much about Goku? Did I answer your question? Uh, would I have sex with Chihiro again or Tomoko? Probably Chihiro, but now she hates me so much it feels weird because she probably despises me and she'd probably

beat me up or something. I feel like Tomoko hates me less And it would be a hotter fuck, maybe. I feel like there's too much bad blood between me and Chiharu at this point for me to even want to see her again. Well, first off, I have nothing against go-karts. I like Mario Kart, I like go-karts. What

I don't like is foreign tourists coming over jet-lagged into Tokyo, getting behind the wheel of a go-kart, and driving through the biggest city on Earth. Now, Driving through Tokyo is not fun. It's very scary. But how do these foreigners just manage to drive a go-kart around the streets of Tokyo? Don't you need a driving license or some

kind of insurance or something? Maybe it's just like riding a bicycle. Even in a car, let alone in a go-kart, of course things are going to go wrong. And if you ask most people, most local Japanese people, they hate this idea of foreign tourists driving around on a go-kart causing chaos. They're very loud, they're very annoying. I

just don't think it's a good idea to let people drive around on go-karts in Tokyo. And as we've seen with the crash into the fish and chip shop, you know, probably a good reason why. I mean, maybe I'm just biased because I was sad that the fish and chip shop got hit. That'll do it. She said she

wants to get, um, Korean fried chicken tonight, and I said after yesterday's disaster food, we need some good food. Yesterday, in case you didn't catch me talk about it, it was so bad because we got takeout yesterday. We got this really disgusting chewy steak that I couldn't even eat. So I decided to try and rescue the, the

evening by cooking, and it was going well. I was making a pork and vegetable stir-fry, and then for seasoning, I decided to empty a whole packet of kimchi into the frying pan, and it was so disgusting. It tasted purely sour, you know, like that sour flavor yogurt has. It was just like really, really sour pork and vegetables

on rice. It was the worst thing I've ever made, and usually my stir-fries are good because I just put some yakiniku sauce or oyster sauce, but we didn't have either of those, and I just emptied a whole packet of kimchi into it, and it was So disgusting. I couldn't— I even— I couldn't eat it. I took a

few bites, had to put it in the bin.

I thought she cooked it. No, I cooked it to try and rescue dinner. But then she tried to save it by— she added some fish sauce and tried to take the kimchi out, but it still tasted really sour and horrible.

So then she made a pancake with strawberries, which was nice. Burger restaurant, I wouldn't have cared, but now it's personal. Now it's very personal indeed. Often the only people you see riding the go-karts are foreign tourists, and actually it propagates this sort of bad image that foreign equals bad. And I think that is part of the reason

I hate it. Yeah. And many foreign residents in Japan do as well as a result. I guess it does give foreigners a bit of a bad image. You get like a bunch of drunken white guys dressed up as Mario racing around Tokyo, just causing chaos and blocking up the traffic. Chris seems very sensitive about, you know, like

the Logan Paul thing when that happened, because he was a YouTuber. Everyone would think that, oh, YouTubers are like Logan Paul, they're disrespectful and obnoxious. And Chris was complaining about it, saying, because he's also a YouTuber, this makes YouTubers look bad. He seems to care a lot about

how other people's actions could affect the way people view him. It seems kind of self- Self-centered though, don't you think? Just because he's a YouTuber that he's worried about how other YouTubers portray what being a YouTuber is about to other people because it might affect him negatively. Always about himself. If you come to Tokyo, don't use them.

Get some bicycles, go-kart in the countryside. He doesn't want foreigners to come to Japan to ride the go-karts because it might make him look bad. Because he's a foreigner. Mr. Boring Shit Rubbish Fun-Killing Dickhead Guy, but I stand by this. I hate Mario Kart in real life, and you should too.

Yeah, well, I love cameras, even old-school Polaroid cameras. Pretty damn cool. I bet you anything, I bet you anything he's going to complain about the photo booths. You know, you go into it, it takes like this really photoshopped picture of you, and then you can draw pictures over it. But he's gonna complain about that. What's that called?

Purikura. I think that's what it's called, right? To have a love of the very thing you use. I can read his mind. And yet there's something in Japan, something unspeakable, that makes me wish cameras had never been invented. I knew it. Now you might be thinking, well, look, Purikura is clearly not aimed at you, a grumpy 32-year-old

man, and you'd be right about that. See, I knew it. I told you he was gonna say Purikura. But the thing is, I don't really understand why anyone likes purikura. The act of taking your face and making it look like an alien trying to transform. Yeah, they do look really dumb. I took a purikura with the single

mother girlfriend, and it makes your eyes really big. It smooths over your skin so you don't even have a nose left. Your nose just becomes like 2 black holes where the nostrils are. It makes you look awful. Into a human, sort of gave up. And it also makes your chin smaller and it makes the top part of

your head bigger. So it's like you've got a light bulb alien-shaped head because for some reason, you know, in Japan they think big eyes and no nose, uh, triangle chin, the anime look is what's attractive. But people look stupid when they look like an anime character because that's not what humans actually look like.

Up along the way and did this. Purikura literally means print club, and, uh, sounds harmless enough. When it came out in 1995, it was basically the front runner to the modern-day filter. You'd go inside a booth, take some photos, process them looking a bit weird, edit them, print them out, and have fun. And back in the '90s,

I could kind of see the appeal of that with photo manipulation. Today it's very outdated. I don't get why it's Popular anymore. Look at this! I had to go down to the arcade and demean myself for this stupid photo. I don't know what I'm gonna do with it. Maybe burn it later. I don't see that. You know,

I still have the purikura pictures I took with the single mother and her daughter. They're in my bedroom. Maybe I should sell them on eBay. Bill, I hate purikura. I don't like those things. $100. Please don't take me there if you ever meet me in person. And that is the end of this section. Stupid purikura. Bit of

shit. Should have stayed in the 90s.

It's funny he complains about this. I've often said in videos, it feels like there's a difference between you and Japanese people, like, living here. And in many ways, that is because of the phrases they use in everyday life. These 5 phrases you hear every single day without fail. If you— 5 phrases, probably irasshaimase.

What else? Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

お疲れ。ポイントカードお持ちですか？I bet he's gonna say a few of those. Number one, can you use chopsticks? Yes. Oh yes, of course. I thought he's gonna complain about customer service Japanese phrases. Can use fucking chopsticks. Not again. Number two, your Japanese is good. Nihongo jōzu, which has become. Oh, he's saying annoying things Japanese people say to him.

As a foreigner. Number 3, can you eat Japanese food? Can you do it? Can you eat it? Can you eat the bowl of ramen? Yes, I can eat. Maybe he's gonna say, do you like fish and chips? I can eat all the ramen, just can't eat nothing. Number 4, when are you leaving Japan? When are you going

home? And number 5, in Japan we have 4 seasons. Yes, we have 4 seasons in the UK as well. There might be rain in every single season, literally every day, but the There's still 4 seasons in the UK. Japan isn't special. You can make a whole video about that. It's really not a problem. People— annoying things Japanese

people say to me as a foreigner. That could have been a good video idea.

What would I say? What do I find annoying that Japanese people say to me?

I do feel a bit annoyed when they say Nihongo Jozu when I've barely said a few words.

It would be a good title. Oh, did I die again?

Annoying things about Japanese people. I never really felt annoyed though about what they say to me,

saying, oh, can you use chopsticks? Wow, your Japanese is good. You feel good about yourself, like, yeah, Japanese is good, even though it's shit. It's good. Yeah, yeah, these are the points Ryan Boundless used to complain about, and then people absolutely hated him for pointing out stuff like flaws about Japanese society. And now they're all starting to

jump on this bandwagon, even Anime Man on Trash Taste, all talking about why Japan— life in Japan sucks. But because they're also likable, everyone thinks, oh, you're so funny, Chris. Look at the comments. You got any people complaining saying, oh, shut up, Chris, why don't you go back to England if you don't like it? It's all just

pure brown-nosing in the comment section. Maybe I should write a comment on my second channel.

Nah, I better leave it. Feel great, and then after 6 months or a year or 3 years or 10 years, when people are still saying the same fucking sentences in every small talk, in every conversation, it'll really piss you off. And if you speak to any foreigner who's lived in Japan over a year or 2, Who's endured

this and had these sort of same conversations over and over, you'll find that these microaggressions, these phrases, are one of the greatest sources of frustration. One of the most important things with microaggressions though is the speaker isn't actually trying to piss you off. It's just a bit of unconscious bias they have. Should I write that? I should

put, you people, you people are such brown-nosing hypocrites.

When Ryan Boundless complained about these things, these same things, you all hated on him. But look at you all now.

Um, what's the word? Look at you all now.

What's like a word for pouring water on something?

Look at you all now raining praise upon your hero Chris. Look at you all now raining praise upon your hero Chris.

Do you think I'll get any replies to that? I don't think a lot of Chris Broad's audience even know who Ryan Boundless is.

When, when Ryan Boundless and the amazing Hiding in My Room complained about this stuff,

it'll be awkward if Chris replied to this though. That's the one fear I have. I don't think he knows I've got a second

channel raining praise upon your hero Chris.

If Ryan— if it was Ryan, you'd be all telling him to fuck off. Back to America or something hateful, I bet.

See if that comment actually goes through. I wonder if he's banned me. I think he banned me on my main channel.

It's not like they're inherently trying to piss you off in everyday life. For those of us living here, it can be very, very annoying indeed. It would be like a Japanese person coming to London and being like, wow, do you want— do you want chopsticks every dinner? Do you want to eat your fish and chips with chopsticks?

Is that okay? Do you want chopstick? It would be a bit like that, but maybe not as— not as extreme and in your face. But going back to the hostess club earlier, that small talk, that boring medium— I feel kind of sad because no one ever praises me with my chopstick skill, and I feel like I'm pretty

good at chopsticks. The way I hold it and balance it on my fingers and the way I can pick up very small things elegantly. No one ever notices how good I am with chopsticks. You'll talk— that is the sort of conversation it would be. Why are you here? Can you use chopsticks? We have 4 seasons. Yes, I

know, I've had that conversation. Very frustrating. That's kind of what I said earlier. I said it's really boring talking to Japanese people because the same topics pop up every time, like, uh, fish and chips, famous food in England, or Big Ben. And, uh, can you use chopsticks? What's your favorite Japanese food? Can you eat spicy stuff? It's

always the same really mundane topics. Great. Everyone who's lived in Japan will hopefully back me up there, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. You were brought up

using chopsticks earlier. I was not. My mum doesn't even use chopsticks. I don't think I've ever seen my mum use chopsticks. We had chopsticks in the house, but it's not like she made us use them as a kid. We always used knife and fork. It's just when I became a massive weeb and I was obsessed with anime,

I started getting my own chopsticks and using chopsticks. I became really obsessive with chopsticks around the age of 18 or 17, cuz I kept watching anime and they were all using chopsticks. I used to have my own pair of chopsticks I'd bring to restaurants, and then I'd put it into my little jacket pocket. Every time I went

to a restaurant, pull them out. I must have looked like such a weirdo.

And what it means is, in my case, I try and avoid small talk altogether. I just sort of go, oh yeah, I'm going over here now. And it's led me to be really just not good at small talk in Japan. And whilst for me it's only a daily annoyance, for people who actually born and raised in Japan

but don't necessarily look Japanese, for example, a Japanese national who is raised by 2 American parents, it can make life very difficult for them, right? When people are constantly like, wow, Nihongo jōzu, you can speak Japanese. Like, yes, I've lived here my whole life. I'm fluent. I am Japanese. Japanese. I just don't look at— so if I

ever had kids in Japan, I don't think I'd put them into a Japanese school for that reason. They would constantly feel like an outsider. If Chris and Charlotte had a kid in Japan, that would be interesting. Their kid would be so messed up because they would have like these self-identity problems. They're born in Japan but they're not

Japanese and they're white.

And then are they gonna grow up with English as their first language when they live in Japan and they're technically a Japanese citizen because they were born in Japan. But then they're going to suck at Japanese, aren't they? Unless— I don't know, it's going to be weird. They won't have a Japanese parent, and then Chris just said

he's going to send his kid to an international school, so they're going to grow up in Japan. They won't even be able to speak Japanese, won't they?

It doesn't sound great because then this kid is going to grow up in this English bubble and probably only make friends with other international school kids and then feel like a foreigner or a tourist in their own country that they were born in and not feel like they belong anywhere. It sounds like it's going to be a

massive mindfuck if Chris and Charlotte had kids. What are they gonna do? Because if they send the kid to a Japanese school, it's gonna be like the only white kid in a completely Japanese class.

It'll be a weird existence, won't it?

Ah, fuck.

Progressions, not so much aggression as— I bet there's no one in the comments saying, oh, Chris, please don't have kids, he's going to be traumatized, he's going to be bullied, he'll grow up in Japan not having any kind of identity. A fucking annoyance and One of the things I hate about living in Japan. I'll never forget the

first time I arrived in Tokyo. I drove down a highway and this was the first building I saw, the iconic Tokyo Tower. It stood here since 19— Tokyo Tower! Why does he speak like that? Overshadowing the Zoroji Temple down below. And my first memory— I wonder if he's going to complain about these incredibly unique buildings like the

Nakagin Capsule Tower or the Fujiテレビ building over in Odaiba. Now something's been going on over the last decade, something unspeakably disappointing, and that is Tokyo skyline is starting to all look the same. Go to Marunouchi over by Tokyo Station, all shiny new glass skyscrapers that could be copied and pasted from any other place on Earth. Then you've

got behind me in Azabu Juban, all just boring generic skyscrapers except maybe that green one over. Japan does copy a lot of buildings from Europe. Even that Stenkaku Tower in Osaka was modeled off of the Eiffel Tower. And then you got Tokyo Tower, which is also modeled off of Eiffel Tower. And then you got a bunch of

European copycat towns.

Testing. The stupid USB hub did that thing again. My USB hub keeps disconnecting itself, and then the mouse glitches, and the mic stops working. I definitely need a new USB hub, maybe.

Testing.

Is it working?

Testing,

testing. Yes, working. Really weird, I don't know why my USB hub is breaking.

Over there, which looks like a Lego block building. I like that one. All culminating in the tallest skyscraper in all of Tokyo and Japan, just over here. It actually dwarfs Tokyo Tower, which I never thought would happen in my lifetime. And with that in mind, the next thing on my list is I hate modern Japanese architecture. Now

you might be thinking, well, you're just bitter, Chris. You're bitter because they tore down your beloved Nakagin Capsule Tower. And they did. Last year we went in, had a look around this iconic building. This year it's finally gone. They dismantled the capsules, and where once stood the iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower is now just a hole of nothing,

soon to be filled with another— Nakagin Tower is really ugly. Though. It just looks like a load of shoeboxes stacked on top of each other. The generic apartment building, like the many ones that surround it now. And while I get that Tokyo is always about modernizing, changing, adapting, the dichotomy between old and new, I think if you're

gonna tear down an amazing building, replace it with something good. Don't just build another boring building. And that's been the case with places like Harajuku Station. Harajuku Station has an iconic design built in the Meiji era, and it was never fun going through Harajuku Station. Station. It was always an absolute shit show. It was small, it was

crowded, it wasn't fun. So they replaced it and built a brand new building, and yet it's just another shiny glass boring building that could be any— that's kind of like the Twitter thing I saw recently. You know how in the past buildings like the McDonald's buildings look very fancy with very elegant design, and now modern McDonald's is

like just a glass and metal box with a big M on it instead of the big golden arches. It's like a big white M in a plain font, and it seems like design is going that way. In the past, you had like Gothic architecture and really intricate details, and now architecture is just trying to make things really

simple and flat and plain, like a square box. Station in Japan, utilitarian, characterless, and boring. I don't understand why they didn't think, well, why don't we borrow something from that old design? Why don't we take something and make something new? No, let's just build a brand new train station that could have been in any other place in

Japan. And I worry we're going to see more of these dreary glass buildings going up, making Tokyo skyline look like it could be anywhere else on Earth. And look, I get it, you know, architecture is completely subjective. I understand that many people didn't like the Nakagin Castle Tower. The problem is people don't really care about architecture anymore.

They just want to make a cheap and efficient building that looks modern. And all that Gothic architecture with all the details and like the Roman pillars and stuff, although it looked nice, it must have taken ages to make and expensive. They thought it was hideous, but I think we can all agree that to destroy and demolish a

building that was iconic, original, different, and then replace it with just nothing, just another boring copy-paste building, that is a tragedy, and I worry that a lot of Tokyo skyline is gonna look like that in the not-too-distant future. I mean, it already is right now. That is why I hate modern Japanese architecture and cities, and I think

it's a real shame. Sad, innit?

Yeah. Put your hands up if you like train stations. Yes! Oh my god, I love a train! I'm gonna knock this sack down. Excellent. Now put your hands up if you like bentos. Yes! Oh my god, I like food in a box! What are we waiting for? Ekiben train station bento. Put it together, what do you get?

Disappointment. On a scale of 1 to overrated thing, Ekiben are just everywhere. People rant and rave about how much they love the damn things, and I'm not gonna deny there are some good Ekiben. I ride the bullet train, uh, once every week, twice a week, and I get an Ekiben every time. And there are some fantastic options

with some Oh, it's 4 o'clock already. I said I'd end the stream at 4, but I haven't even really focused on playing the game. Just been AFK most of the time. It's funny, you can actually get further in Warzone 2 by just being AFK. You might as well just go hide in a toilet. It'd get further, it

would last longer.

I love it, but for every good— I love it— there are 3 very bad Ekiben where the rice is like excavating. Why would you get Ekiben though? I just get a McDonald's, get a Big Whopper or Big Mac. Of gravel out of a box where the food is cold and dry and shit. And even though Connor and

I disagree on pretty much everything, the one thing we agree on is that Ekiben are Overrated and we hate them. And that is almost certainly making me hungry now. Once upon a time, I only had a bag of peanuts today. This is my lunch for the entire day. Japanese train station, it's chaotic, it's rushed. You've got to

get the train. You pick up the first bento you see. It's still got a stupid fat belly. I think this wagyu bento was like beef. It was very expensive, ¥2,000 a box, and we needed that bento. It's a 4-hour train ride, we needed some good food, and we cracked the bentos open on the train, distraught. Hungry, fed

up, put the chopsticks in and they got stuck in the fucking rice because the rice was so cold and hard and horrible. His plastic fork snapped when he was trying to dig out the rice. He took a bite of the beef and it was stringy and tough. And for that price point, ¥2,000, when you're on a train

for 4 hours with no other food at your disposal, we were very angry and we swore that day never to sing the praises of Ekiben ever again. He probably got a cheap one. Get the luxury one. He can afford it. He makes 50K a month. I don't understand Chris. He makes like 50K a month from Patreon and

YouTube, but then he always cheaps out and gets cheap crappy stuff and then complains why it sucks. Why don't you just get the expensive stuff? Why are you trying so hard to save money when he makes like a million every 2 years?

Of toasted bread, and all of a sudden you have a delicious dish in a convenient form factor. The sandwich was born. British engineering at its finest. And today, in America alone, 300 million sandwiches are consumed every single day. An astonishing figure given the American population is 331 million people. Simply put, Britain branded it, America ate it, and

Japan— oh my God. You get a new weapon, he doesn't put it out. It's just like an invisible weapon. Who does this to a sandwich? Oh, my friend's dying. Cream and some bread. Oh my God, get up! I not only hate fruit sandwiches, I hate— people associate the fruit sandwich with Japanese culture. I do hate the fruit

sandwich. I used to complain about it as well back in 2018 about how they have these cream strawberry sandwiches. Actually, didn't I say this in one of my videos? He just copied me. Look, I'll pull up my video. I think I said the person who invented the strawberry cream sandwich should be shot. Why I hate living in

Japan, hiding in my room. Look, Chris copied me.

They don't sell baked beans here, you have to buy them on Amazon.

Or sales.

Electronics store, they have maybe 4 or 3 people standing at the entrance yelling it. That's their only job. There's 2 extremes to this situation. You either get this really depressed guy who just walks past you and then mutters, irasshaimase, who looks like he's gonna kill himself the next day because he hates his life, and they don't say

anything back. There's no response. The customer doesn't say anything. If you try and understand what's funny about it, I just, I don't get it. I just feel very angry inside and My voice sounded funny back then. It's not funny, it's just stupid. You're stupid, 2018 Daniel. Shut up. Oh, that looks— what was that? The cooking bit's funny.

Where's the bit about the strawberry sandwich? I go to Japan and I'll suddenly become some kind of sex god, and I'm sorry to tell you this, but the only sex you'll be having is with fat, ugly, middle-aged women. Who are very desperate and probably mentally ill. And if you're happy with that, then by all means, buy your

ticket and come as fast as you can. You'll be drowning in pussy. One thing that really irritates me about Japanese women is for some reason they think it's attractive or cute to talk in this really irritating high-pitched nasal voice. Is that cute? I don't think it's cute. It's just annoying. Why do the garbage trucks play that stupid

song every time? Yeah, I used to say stupid in a different way. I used to say stupid like an American. They come. Don't even get me started on sandwiches. Japan couldn't make a decent sandwich to save its life. The sandwiches you can find in convenience stores are just utter trash. Yeah, this— how was that? Did you seriously

just put strawberries and cream into a sandwich? Anyone who puts strawberries and cream into a sandwich is just They deserve to be shot. I'm sorry, it's just wrong. It's like having your cousin stay over your house and then one night she sneaks into your room and crawls into your bed. It's just weird. Where's the bacon, lettuce, and

tomato sandwich? Where's the sausage and scrambled egg sandwich? Where's the ploughman's sandwich? What did I say? Having your cousin stay over your house and then one night she sneaks into your room and crawls into your bed. Yeah, I wonder which cousin I was talking about. Definitely not one of my sick fantasies of having a cousin stay over

and then sneak into my bed.

It's weird. Where's the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich? Where's the sausage and scrambled egg sandwich? Where's the ploughman's sandwich? Nowhere. Not here. You can't find those here. They look so sad. Go home, back to England. Where they sell decent food. Okay, that's enough about food. Let's talk about sex. So let's say you are a 30-year-old virgin, you've

never had sex before, and you're thinking, hey, why don't— yeah, my videos were much better back then when I actually cared.

It sounds so boring to listen to these days. Listen to me now.

Hello, welcome back to a new Video. So a few days ago, I made a video talking about reasons why I don't regret leaving my ex-wife, and as you can imagine, she wasn't very happy about this. And surprisingly, she actually messaged me before I released the video because I was discussing making this video when I was brainstorming video

ideas on my Discord server.

Audio good.

Completely and utterly fucked it. What is this fruit sandwich atrocity? Who does this? Who does this to a sandwich? Strawberries and cream in some bread? Why? Why? I not only hate fruit sandwiches, I hate what they've become. People associate the fruit sandwich with Japanese culture as if it's a unique creation to be proud of. There's a reason

they don't do this outside of Japan, because it tastes awful. Sandwiches should be savory. They shouldn't taste And look like this. The only thing in Japan's defense is the sandwiches that aren't riddled with strawberries, oranges, and cream are actually pretty damn good. Egg sandwiches, perfection. Pork cutlet— no, I don't agree. I think Japanese sandwiches suck. The egg

sandwiches taste disgusting, and they always put way too much filling in the middle of the sandwich, and then the corners of the sandwich don't have any filling.

The filling distribution is really bad. When it comes to Japanese sandos.

Copied my video. I said

strawberry sandwiches suck back in 2018.

Cutlet, count me in. Ham and cheese, not so much. They use cheap cuts of ham. It doesn't, it doesn't work. But fruit sandwiches, look at this sloppy creamy mess. Honestly, the cruel irony is there's no food in the studio today and I haven't eaten lunch, so I'm gonna have to eat it. But suffice to say, I hate

it, and the Earl of Sandwich is turning in his grave. All right, this one's not that bad because it's more cream than sandwich. Look at it, honestly. God,

I guess my videos from 4 years ago were better because, I don't know, I sounded like I was— I had more passion about my rants back then. The last thing on this list is an amalgamation of all 11 points we've seen. My Why I Hate Living in Japan video was pretty good. Somehow she found out what I

was discussing. I have to say that Chihiro did make the videos a lot more entertaining compared to my videos where it's just me by myself, but it seems like she doesn't want to be. My videos are so boring now compared to what they used to be.

They don't sell baked beans here. You have to buy them on Amazon for like $20 for 2 tins. And they don't sell proper bacon. This isn't bacon.

This is just like some kind of fake imitation ham pretending to be bacon. Bacon isn't supposed to be sweet. It isn't supposed to be like ham. It's supposed to taste like bacon. But I feel like I was being way too overdramatic. Trying to exaggerate how angry I was when I— I didn't really care that much, to be

honest. It was just a minor annoyance.

Why don't you understand what the concept of bacon is, Japan? It's not difficult. This is proper British bacon.

This is how you make bacon. It's supposed to be thick and salty and smoky, and it needs to have a nice fat layer of fat on the side. I've been to every single supermarket in my area and none of them sell proper bacon. They just— but I feel like this version of me was just a massive act.

It was me trying really hard to be charismatic,

I guess, trying to be like a charismatic commentator who seems really angry and upset over nothing.

I feel like as I got older, doing that act became harder and harder. It's boring. Where's pot noodle? I want chicken and mushroom. I want beef and tomato. I want chicken chow mein. I want Bombay bad boy.

Bombay bad boy.

And heard until now, all presented into one convenient format that I call Japanese television. I remember before I went on Japanese TV, it was something I always wanted to do. You know, it was kind of like the dream, and many foreigners have it. They're like, oh yeah, my dream: go Japan, be on TV, have fun. I went

on TV Maybe three or four times, and each and every time was absolutely shit. Whether it was asking me to hold a camera in my hand in every shot to prove that I was a YouTuber. Are you YouTuber? I am. Or whether it was propagating the myth that foreigners spread the virus more because they announced the P

sound. As you might remember, "これはペンです." This is a pen. This was an actual thing on Japanese TV, and it still blows my mind. But I've made a whole video on why I hate Japanese. TV, and to talk about it here would be to do it a disservice. Go and check out the whole video, and I feel very

lucky to be here. Make another, man. Hmm, I guess okay video. I rate it 4.2 out of 10.
