I don't keep up with the stream stuff but was Garnt a guest in it or something? He wasn't mentioned in the first tweets advertising it?

Youtubers in Japan [OT] Life Experience in Japan

Chris probably could do what he does in any other place of Earth that has "cool" stuff that people are interested in. Could he find partners like he has in Japan, other people to show up in his videos and improve them? Who knows...

March 18th for 9 days, Connor, Chris, and Pete (unsure if Pete is biking too), they are doing another Cyclethon. 850KM (530 Miles) across Kyushu.

JESSEOGN does another of his fashion-in-the-street videos and bumps into
Ansel Elgort
just casually without any idea as to who they really are.
Hey all - Rambalac seems to be going through a tough time right now (https://youtube.com/@Rambalac) if you could lend some warm words, then that would be awesome IMO
Thanks for this. I read the community post thanks to you, I hope he'll be okay. I left him a warm message in the Discord and I definitely encourage anyone else who's enjoyed his videos to do the same. I've watched a lot of walkabout videos and you'd think it'd be a simple thing to recreate, but somehow there's no one who can do them like he can.
I hope he finds the other side of whatever he's going through. He deserves happiness just like anyone else.
Speaking of wacky adventures, Mr. Beast recently rented out the entirety of FujiQ for the day for an upcoming video 🤯
Not sure if posted already but Trash Taste is now planning a Europe tour, and tickets are up now

Nice coverage of the Pride Parade by talking to people about their LGBT+ experiences in Japan.

Connor's second RV trip started tonight. Ludwig and Pete are joining him.

As expected, like last time the RV trip is a ton of fun to watch.
God, I just wish Twitch would finally allow for higher than 1080p and a higher bitrate. Cause fuck it's just destroyed sometimes.
It's an IRL stream on the move, the quality is on the broadcast end.
True, clearly it's the trees that are causing the issues!!
Down with trees!!!
Attack and dethrone!

Bit of a tonal shift in his new Journey Across Japan series, Chris stops by the Fukushima disaster area 4 years after his documentary video to see how recovery is progressing. It's a good follow up video!

OP
OP
So- April 1st, CdawgVA is doing the next Cyclethon, this time being 14 days instead of 9 days and with them doing more stuff on it as well.
The last time it happened we made a thread, which was a lot of fun! Not the most active, but still active enough, doubly so during the big moments during said event.
However, I am... not sure about making another thread on it. So, they announced on stream that there would be guests, namely among those, for 2 days of the 14 day event, PewDiePie, would be on there. Now, I probably don't need to say that they are still a controversial figure, I don't know what they do these days as I don't follow them on any socials, only ever hearing about them from typically TrashTaste folks.
For greater context, everyone's got their blind spots, everyone who has watched Connor knows how he leans on stuff, but clearly PewDiePie is within that blind spot.
Obviously, no one is judging anyone for not watching due to that, however I am wondering if I should still make the thread when the event happens or not this time?

I mean, I'll skip the PewDiePie episodes but I like Connor so I wouldn't skip the whole series for a couple episodes.
Which is fair, I just wonder if the thread could be considered: "platforming him" so to speak.
People could def derail the thread saying it is, but that would depend entirely about how the convo in the thread turns out. As long as it does not end up becoming the sole convo, it could be fine i think.
Yeah. Ultimately, It's not that I don't want to say: "Hey you can't talk about it", I just worry it will become the sole discussion when it is an event supporting a good cause, even if there is one not-so-good element of it that thankfully is only in a small portion of the overall event.
I guess I'll still make it when it's about to begin, mention it in the OP so peeps are at least aware and if we know when they will be showing up on it then have an idea when folks can continue to watch again when they leave.
Made a thread for it! :D
Cyclethon 3 - 14 Day Event of Cycling across Japan for Charity! (March 31st (EST/PST), April 1st (JST) to April 14th)
Made a thread for Cyclethon 2 and it was fun, so thought I would do it again this year! Background: In 2022, Connor aka CdawgVA along with Chris Broad aka Abroad in Japan, did a 500km 'Cyclethon' event on Twitch across Japan that they raised $319,857.87 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation...

So about Tokyo Lens, I had heard he was pretty damn aggressive and awful on his video's comments, but hadn't seen an example until today: https://www.reddit.com/r/cringepics/s/4ePmmmk97Z
Yikes.
Yikes.
I kinda went off him a while ago. These comments are ... weird. Time to unsub I think
Edit: Wow he appears A LOT here:
Big yikes

Wow! That's crazy.
He comes off as extremely inauthentic in his videos. He always sounds like he's acting. It's a shame because I like those tiny apartment videos with the woman who is an architecture grad.
I've watched some video of his in the past, is this a common occurrence? Does he get hate often to make him flip the hell out like this for a very mild and reasonable criticism?
On a personal note, I've strongly fallen off watching all these big "Foreigner living in Japan" Youtubers a few years ago, many of them seem to be living in very isolated groups of English speakers (at least going by their content) and give off a being in a permanent vacation kind of vibe and all their content starts to blur together.
Are we talking about the same Norm? Because he always sounds nice in his videos, and he has responded kindly to several of my comments. He interacts a lot with his viewers, maybe he's just sick of the constant bullshit.
Sadly, yes. Dude has been very prickly to some commenters for a good while now.
Personally for me, unless the topic speaks to something I need info on (for example, TDR Explorer's vids) then I usually stick to walking videos these days (like Rambalac) or just watch Japanese videos instead (for example, this channel, which reviews neighbourhoods in Tokyo - or this channel, which highlights nice date/cafe/lunch spots around Tokyo)
I love Rambalac and Fujiwara Life. I never heard of Tokyo SumuSumu. Thank you for the suggestion!
No problem - happy to help!
Izunushi - has some great "camping & drinking with.." videos.
KataKata Chefs - do some great anime-themed cooking videos.
MonchanLife - whilst not flashy at all, does some great reviews of all the 4 star+ hotels around Japan, with hotel-walking sections, then a long review section.
SoloTravelJapan - does some good videos on (mostly) overnight coach and ferry transportation around Japan.
All the above are great for Japanese listening and reading experience - also all are engaging and informative (at least to me).
Please feel free to share any other similar channels that you may follow!
