TOO MUCH VOLCANO Becomes Frightening Reality as MOUNT ASO ERUPTS 🌋 | Wacky Weekend Ft. CDawgVA & Natsuki Filming COMPLETE! (Patreon)

Not long after our Cessna flight over Sakurajima volcano in April for Journey Across Japan, Kagoshima's explosive centrepiece violently erupted and surprised the local meteorological agencies. It was terrifying to think what might have happened had we flown over it that day and been swatted from the sky.
This week in similar fashion, for the second time this decade Mount Aso erupted causing a gigantic mushroom cloud of ash that rained down on the locals of Kumamoto and left half of Kyushu wondering if this was the big one.
Fortunately, no-one was injured during the eruption, which I find bloody astonishing given that just several months ago we were peering straight into the crater along with dozens of other curious onlookers.
It makes me wonder if they'd closed access to the crater that day having detected activity, as the cloud of ash swept straight over the location we shot the music video for Too Much Volcano!
Here's one of the better reports on the eruption:

On a more lighthearted note, I got absolutely bombarded with folks shouting Too Much Volcano and it renewed interest in our ridiculous iTunes chart topping hit! 😂
(How utterly disgraceful of us to capitalise on the destructive power of a volcano).

WACKY WEEKEND X NATSUKI
Yesterday two worlds collided when CDawgVA met his hero Natsuki for the first time ever. - Although looking at the photo above, it appears Natsuki has sat on a knife.
The episode took us to two frightening locations, which will be coming out next week just in time for Halloween! We also had a disaster when we had to abandon one filming location entirely, which I'll explain the Patreon exclusive BTS video next week.
Suffice to say, I think the Patreon BTS video for the next Wacky Weekend with Natsuki will be a good one!
AND speaking of Patreon exclusive videos, here's the outtakes and deleted scenes from last week's 21 Must Try Japanese Convenience Store Foods video.
It's hugely embarrassing, as it's mostly just me sitting in a chair screwing up presenting simple sentences over and over. You'll quickly realise that I'm the world's worst presenter and I don't deserve to be in front of a camera. (It may give hope to those of you wanting to do Youtube, when you realise you don't need to present well. You just need to edit out all your mistakes!)

In other news, the brand new Abroad in Japan set is being fitted and built into the studio next week FINALLY. The production team who are building it have done a f*cking amazing job and I can't wait to share it with you all.
And I can also finally reveal the super secret awesome project(s) I've been working on behind the scenes next week. Your patience is about to be rewarded.
I'll be back in the next few days with all that and more, but for now enjoy your weekend, check out the Patreon BTS video and the video of Mount Aso in action.
Honestly, thank god it didn't erupt while were up there.
(Even if it would've made an epic final scene for our music video).
