Whenever I hit a milestone on Youtube I’m always reluctant to post about it at first as it seems to good to be true. You half expect to lose a ton of subscribers all of a sudden and send the numbers back the wrong way.

Hence when we hit 3 million subscribers a few days ago, I decided to wait until it seemed ABSOLUTELY SURE we’d got there.

And we have!

Thank you so much guys for being a part of this wild journey to get here; for me, milestones are less about going forward and more about looking back and reflecting on the lessons learned and the experiences you had along the way.

It’s a fitting time for us to hit the milestone, as I prepare to embark on another crazy Cyclethon with Connor across Honshu.

More on that in a moment!

But in celebration of hitting 3 Million Subscribers, I’ll be filming a Q&A tomorrow on Abroad in Japan - send me your questions below about ANYTHING and as always, we’ll prioritise your questions and feature as many as we can in the final episode!

I won’t lie it’s been a hectic month trying to wrap up shooting in Hiroshima and Tokyo, while also producing several videos in the run up to the Cyclotron.

Over this weekend alone we have two huge videos being released…


The first is a long awaited Wacky Weekend, where in repentance to Connor for the horror show camping trip, I take him to a rather unique Japanese inn!

Back on JAJ in December, while researching the route I came across what might be the most isolated place in the country - an inn without both electricity and wifi, powered exclusively by oil lamps and gas heaters (a disaster waiting to happen).

To some people it may sound like torture (included Connor), but I thought it might be a wonderful opportunity for him to get away from the internet for a short while, as the world’s most phone addicted man.

Unsurprisingly he wasn’t too pleased, but at least I had a whale of a time! The inn was borderline magical and I can’t wait to share it with you in the episode.

The episode will be accompanied by a great, big Patreon Exclusive Behind the Scenes episode full of Wacky Weekend mayhem so keep an eye out for it this weekend too.

THEN we have the even more long awaited Cyclethon 2 video releasing on the Chris Abroad channel, almost one year since we undertook the cycle.


I explain why it took so long at the start of the episode, but it seemed like a fitting time to release it on the cusp of the massive, epic Cyclethon 3, as a reminder of what to expect.


As for Cyclethon 3 I’ll provide more details in a follow up post (we have a promo video out in the next day as well), but it kicks off Monday 1st April at 9am Japan time and will run until - GOD FORBID - April 14th.

This time we have a few guests joining the cycle as well including Garnt (Taken for Granted at last), Pewdiepie, Pete Premier Two and even, unbelievably, Natsuki himself.

And if you can’t make the streams, fear not. This time we’re aiming to release the Cyclethon video on Abroad in Japan just a couple of weeks after it ends. We’re not screwing about this time.

So buckle up, as April will be a genuinely massive month.

And keep an eye out for the Wacky Weekend Patreon BTS video that will also be dropping this weekend!

For now though guys, have a wonderful end to your week.
And wish me luck in my last minute bike training, hehe.

Best,

Chris

P.S. SEND ME THOSE QUESTIONS!!!

Also, what are the chances of finding the AIJ book in Japan and getting a signature during the cyclethon? :D

If you could tell your past self the most important lessons you've learned to grow the channel to 3 million subscribers, what would they be, and what would you love to learn from your future self about the channel? (also, congratulations, Chris. :) )

Chris!!!! Firstly - Congratulations on 3 million, you should be super proud and your journey is so inspiring. It's really taught me to plunge into life and do the things I really want to do. Q&A #question - Natsuki loves music, as do I, and so I would like to know, have you heard of a kawaii band called BABYMETAL????

Patricia

Where does the motivation to embark in these kind of adventures come from?
