YMMV / Abroad In Japan

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: "Never play around with business cards or put them in your back pocket, because they're seen as a physical extension of the person themselves, and you don't want to stuff someone's physical extension down your back pocket."
  • Awesome Moments: Doubling both as this and a personal Heartwarming Moment: Chris finally managing to interview Ken Watanabe and documenting his efforts to help Tohoku rehabilitate.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Chris' talk about how Aokigahara has made efforts to distance itself from its reputation as "The Suicide Forest" is all the more depressing, considering his video predates the added unhelpful exposure thanks to the Logan Paul controversy by more than a year (and indeed, Chris was interviewed in the wake of the scandal).
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • Are You Youtuber?Explanation 
    • Chris Broad is IronmouseExplanation 
  • Nightmare Fuel: The entire video on visiting Aokigahara Forest. Not even the Lampshade Hanging of the use of ominous music and washed-out colours helps ease the sense that Nothing Is Scarier.
    • Also a section of one of the "Journey Across Japan - Escape to Fuji" where Natsuki finds an abandoned Love Hotel (which might have actually been a prostitution den) and he, Chris and Joey take a look around as part of their "film a horror movie" challenge. From the creepy messages scrawled on the walls along with drawings (pixelated out) of chopped up women to the fact that parts of the building look like they are about to fall in on them at any moment. Also rats.
