>>166413That’s because they’re all in their thirties and trying to grow up. Back then Youtube was popping off and so was the Jvlogger thing. Now it’s so so common to see Japan this and that videos. Those girls were this circle of drama that people just loved to tune in and watch. We should all be thanking Dakota Rose because Taylor would’ve never botched herself up if Koot hadn’t of become a japanese viral blonde dolly that made it in the news. Taylor just wanted the same opportunities and attention. Yeah she did modelling and was pretty before she got her work done but she’s tall and she looks like a chipmunk now. Then she turned to YouTube, latched off other Jvloggers and Venus Angelic before dumping her and flaunted her rich Chinese husband.
Those were the days sighhhhh

No. 166964
>>166913She tried really hard to get her husband in her videos and she was pushing him to show his face, you can see it in the videos at that time. She even announced she will show her face in the next video (for real not the nails thing) but suddenly he was sick and never happened.
Sharla wanted pretty badly to make couple videos and she managed to make some even if he was not showing his face because he didn't want to.
No. 166968
>>166960I was slightly annoyed by him but since the baby, he’s become insufferable. See vid related, his wife gave birth and a social worker came to do a wellness check, and he has the gall to ask “aren’t you gonna ask about how
i’m doing?” Even jokingly, pushing a baby out of your vag vs losing sleep as a dad is not the same thing.
He also keeps in spats with his wife over the stupidest shit in the vlogs and it’s just gross.
No. 166974
>>166962Tbh I sometimes get the feeling they are well aware the public knows they are dating and that it's all obvious, but are using the secrecy as a publicity thing. Hence for the occasional breadcrumb they leave. People are suddenly more interested and inspecting their (old) videos, that's good for their channels.
Sharla strikes me as a person who would like to show off relationship/couple stuff. Especially when in comparison her other YT girlfriends are open about things and are even starting a family. Chris not so much tho, his online persona where he interacts with people is all about being some sort of Top Gear-esque cynical bro, doing cool stuff for a somewhat more male audience. It's possible he doesn't know how to insert the announcement on his side of YT, because he's such a perfectionist and control freak when it comes about his branding, it would not match his channels and he is afraid of something like that. He doesn't like the image of being a vlogger, he sees himself as a filmmaker.

If he wanted the 'wolfie' nickname, just go with Wolfgang. If the superhero concept is so important, then why not use wolverine's real name "Logan", and even then still you could call the kid "wolfie" as a nod to the character and I think people would get it

anyway I agree with anyone else. I think not going public with it is a smart decision so far… apparently as the relationship progresses it seems to get more difficult but so far the huge public doesn't know yet and therefore don't comment stupid shit on it.

I unironically believe Chris and Sharla make a really cute couple, although part of me is jelly because I've always liked Chris.
Genuinely don't get why you guys are mad about it. Chris seems like one of the few jvloggers who is actually a genuinely moral person, and Sharla just went through an awful divorce.

Seems innocent, but the more you watch, the more fucked it is. They constantly do kujis as a side business, but they also keep a shit ton of merch as well, so their home looks like a hoarder hell. They even record and make their kids do kujis. Often times they buy out 2+ entire kuji sets. They aren't hurting anyone else, but it's been a weird fascination watching hoarding behavior in anime form.

to be fair, chris is trying to travel out to more unique places in japan; compared the jvloggers who barely leave tokyo.

No. 167582
>>167544If the bar was set low like that, of course he would come out as the Anthony Bourdain of Japan. Please, his true competition like anon said would be channels like Only in Japan (John Daub) and Life Where I'm From. Compared to those channels, most of the time his work is superficial, poorly researched, always includes the same scripted people (and I am personally a little tired to see Natsuki try to deliberately fuck up English and be funny), and he rarely includes a Japanese interview that is actually in depth enough to feel refreshing. When I watch Only in Japan of LWIF, those videos radiate more passion and genuinity to me. Even Nobita from Japan (who is not as flashy or films as artistically as Chris) has some real interviews that make me feel like I've actually learned something very interesting. AIJ is like a fast food brand of burgers, flashy advertising, poor burger, but you kinda know what you get and like to eat it anyways. Can't be compared to a homemade, juicy burger or other meal that makes you happy, made with the freshest ingredients and most importantly made with love and passion.
I find it interesting Chris never collaborated with Only in Japan or LWIF to begin with. People have asked before too, his answer seems to be "idk it just never happened, next question". I don't buy that.
No. 167593
>>167589I really love those channels, especially TabiEats. Those guys are so genuine and wholesome, and they show you a lot of different types of Japanese food and small Japanese villages. You kind of get to see Japan through a local's point of view, still interesting and well explained to a foreign public.
I find "Kimono Mom" also watchable from time to time, she shows some nice and easy homecooking, that doesn't require a lot of weird ingredients and are kind of foolproof.

>>167569I watched them for a while and I stopped when I saw that people had payed for orders and 2 years later they still hadn't sent them out because 'insert excuse' They buy an awful lot of stuff for themselves while they're out doing their pick ups which is fine (even if it's hoarder-y) but yeah they sometimes buy entire lotteries out and it's not even for customers..it's for them and they drive around buying whole lotteries out so others must have trouble getting them in time.
What they do is they take the big prizes for themselves and they put the shitty prizes in 'mystery boxes' that they sell to their naive audience. They get alot of superchats whenever they go live so between that and the pick-ups that they take years to mail out/crap mystery boxes they're raking it in and spending their earnings just as quickly on dangerously overfilling their millitary provided apt with hoards of boxes til they can barely move. They take critical comments veery badly too. I saw them basically admit their apt was a fire risk at one point when they were trying to hide it befroe an inspection. They freak out if anyone comments about their constant buying tho.

>>167634Chris does this thing with people he's filming or with Pete on the podcast where they'll say something kind of random or weirdly-phrased, and Chris will repeat it back immediately with his sort of mocking/scornful/cynical voice thing to get a laugh. He does this with everyone, it's his schtick. So of course with Natsuki and Ryotaro it works very well since they flub English words and phrases all the time - it's Chris's whole bread and butter and the core value of his "humor" - it's incredibly tiresome/predictable once you pick up on it. He gets way too much mileage out of it.
It also seems to be the basis for his frienship with Natsuki - just an endless loop of Chris waiting for an opportunity to strike. It's like he's milking Natsuki for catchphrases. Blech

I almost posted them here at the time. I stopped because she puts the kids in front on the camera more than herself (well it varies) and tbh I saw people sepculating about whether or not their youngest kid has autism or whether she's just a brat 'a mini-me of her bossy mother' and I decided not to post. She already loses her shit over 3 bad comments under a video.

Also ppl asking why the hate for Chris - he used to be somewhat funny and chill but in this last series he basically set up all these challenges for his "friends" to do while he sat it out and mocked them - fishing, going in caves or whatever the fuck, he quit horseback riding because he was afraid of the "mean" horsie…. chris sucks

It’s intresting to see who has liked and who has not like Natasha’s post. Wynn, Natasha girlfriend has been very vocal and supportive. Although Emma and Shiori have been silent they sure seem to be supportive of Natasha behind the scenes. Sharla is good friends with Sunny so I am sure she is torn.

>>167834i agree, they 100% have something going on behind the scenes. their mannerisms with each other since going to kyoto in january (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laOC4oxZ5IE) have been increasingly intimate, this is not just "friend behavior". Sarah was featured in a twitch stream from recently where Emma has borrowed Sarah's shirt and also tells viewers that she keeps a tea and milk that Sarah enjoys at her apartment. It seems that Sarah has probably spent the night, is spending many nights, etc. This is gf behavior to me?
additionally, re:kyoto- from 12:09-12:16, there is a small mark on the front of emma's throat that was not visible in the beginning of the video (where she is wearing the same mockneck shirt). i personally think it was a small love bite but i know some people may feel this is a stretch.

>>168417what kind of visa was TC getting for these people anyway? as far is i understood, they don't/didn't sponsor work visas.
it's highly possible that these people who "lost" their visas were on working holiday visas in the first place and never figured out the next step. i don't see TC as a large enough company to be able to participte in employer-sponosred visa program in Japan. not to mention, do you know how complicated the process is for even a large company to fulfill the requirements to sponsor visas? i can't see TC getting their shit together enough to jump through all those hoops for nobody youtubers with barely any followings.
and then also, none of those people are famous or important enough to have been granted a entertainer/cultural visa, so that's out too.
maybe i'm wrong but i've read mulitple places that TC never sponsored work visas for youtubers

If it was a work trip, Sharla would have her own room and Chris and Natsuki would share a room (ESPECIALLY) if it was at a ryokan, just like it always was in the old days before they started dating.
Think about it for like half a second.
Also, if it was a work trip and not a girlfriend tagging along, she would have been in the videos and she would have 100% made her own video about it. they were definitely up to something, trying to hide that she was there.

My problem with Chris and that particular livestream is his lie. He was most definately not alone, yet he made it look like he was. I watched that livestream, people were giving him money in the form of superchats because they like him but also because he was "alone" on his BIRTHDAY during CORONA stuck in JAPAN. That was not true, he was not alone and I found it pretty unethical he created that impression. He might not need that money compared to his income from ads/patreon, but THAT video is still wrong.
No. 169172
>>16916Well you are making huge assumptions about why people gave him superchats. Unless you took a poll to see if they only gave Chris money because he was alone on his bday, you have no way of knowing that. In any regards on his other live streams that followed that bday stream, with people and without people joining him, many viewers donated a sh*t tone of superchats. People donate for a variety of reasons, but mostly 1) because the like/ appreciate the creator and 2) because they want their comments to be noticed.

At the time I know I did, and I can't imagine I was the only viewer who thought so. In fact there were many who expressed it in the chat. I don't care if Chris produces good content, has a myriad of reasons to be given money to. My only problem is simply that false title, that false impression he created. Even if it means "just" 1 or 2 people felt bad for him and donated while the majority had different reasons to donate money. That's still 1 too many. Saying "Here have one beer from me tonight" and donating money, hoping he's a little happier because he was otherwise so lonely… Yeah nah, facilitating that is just wrong.
I don't watch Only in Japan's streams enough, but that's also shitty if true. What you feel about OIJ's stream, I feel that about this particular birthday stream Chris had.
No. 169207
>>169189I respect your opinion and how your feel. But also you have to consider the intent, the personality and pass behavior if the person making that title. Have Chris even given the I am here for the cash grab behavior that some YouTubers does? No, in fact the opposite, he hardly if ever does sponsorships, turns down a bunch of offers, spread out his videos and not just post for views and $, but quality. Hardly does live streams and has the cheapest Patreon. I am comfortable in saying that his intent was to have a catchy title to get many viewers, and not to garner sypamthy and gain more donations. Also, the “have a beer in me type comments” is par for the course for superchats. If you watch any live stream or twitch live stream- the have a beer/coffee/lunch/dinner on me is like on every donations comments. It’s like a line these people use. I ince donated to quinlan from go north Japan because he mentioned he was going hiking and needs bear spray .. and I wrote (bear spray on me) lol.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Chris announces new studio in Sendai and Sharla announces moving to Sendai and these things are happening at the exact same time. Here's their plan: "Sharla" gets a huge new apartment - if you remember, she showed it off - it's HUGE. Way too big for one person. Chris obviously has moved out of his shit-hole (that he used to go on and on about how much he hated it, but we haven't heard much lately on this topic - this is podcast lore mostly) and into the large spacious "Sharla" apartment in Sendai, with her. This coincides with Chris's rental of the very large studio, where he will do his videos from FROM NOW ON to avoid any possible cross-contamination of domicile-based filming.
It's actually a genius plan. Sharla can film at "Sharla's" apartment, and sometimes use "Chris's" studio, but I guarantee you we will never see another video or live stream from what we came to recognize as "Chris's" apartment, ever again.
Chris will never mention having moved his domicile, because now he will just be focused on the studio and all his videos will be made there.
I'm actually pretty impressed with how seamlessly they pulled it off.

I doubt anyone (else) is attracted to either of them but Youtubers generally do have a history of extra-curricular activity with followers and each other, and keeping their relationship secret certainly makes that a lot smoother if cheating were to happen. They could even fuck other people in their separate rented studio/flat when the other one is away. There's a reason why relationships are normally public and it's exactly for this reason. Not saying this is happening at all, inb4

Taxes can be an issue if you're American and make over a certain amount.

I'm suspicious of the JVlogger "her.atlas"
I'm generally suspicious of people who suddenly appear on youtube out of nowhere and immediately have 24k views on their very first video. She claims to work in Japan but isn't a JET or english teacher. Something is fishy about this one.
No. 170246
>>170245she posted her first video in jan of 2020 and it got 24k views. that doesn't just happen. she appeared out of nowhere with maximum editing, shooting, and cross-platform promotion. no learning curve. she says she has a job and a husband in japan but never talks details.
sorry but something doesn't check out here.
No. 170335
>>170244I agree. Someone here said she had an established audience prior to moving to Japan, but definitely not the same numbers she's showing now- and that article purported her to be a wellness influencer in SD. Obviously she is no longer a wellness influencer, but attempting to be a J-vlogger/influencer, so much of that initial following probably has dropped off by now. Her numbers are currently: 145 K subs on YT, and 215 k followers but she can't crack above an average of 27k views unless its standard clickbait stuff like "HAUL", "HANAMI", "24 HOURS IN.."
Her sub numbers to viewership conversion doesn't really add up to me- I think she's buying subs on her socials, personally.
If you want to compare her subs to viewership conversion to another J-vlogger, I'd reccomend looking at Emma's sub numbers vs conversion rate or even Jenn's sub numbers vs conversion rate- both are longtime j-vloggers with viewership that climbed steadily and slowly, who still manage to get those viewers to tune in. Her.Atlas sprung to 145 k subs in less than a year and has already spun out on getting views on her average uploads? I agree, kind of bizarre imo. But probably not milky.
No. 170340
>>170335Emma and some other the other jvloggers are all in the same circle and collab etc. Emma had a huge viral video pushed by Ashton Kutcher and Pewdie Pie. Emma and others like her usually reside in Tokyo and that tends to get more clicks. Her atlas lives in South country side Japan. She caters to a different demographic. Most people who move to or who are Intested in Japan do not fit her demographics. Most people who are obssed with japan, anime, are looking for sh8tty appartment, sh8tty teaching job, make next to no money and are obsessed with Japanese pu

No. 170394
>>170244lol ok so I have been watching her for over a year and I was also baffled and did lots of digging back in the day. i'm pretty sure most of the evidence is long deleted at this point as she's curating a very "family friendly perfectly happy all the time" image, which i think is working because she's booking actual TV gigs in japan now
anyway, her youtube channel is several years old and she started vlogging in san diego in 2018, mostly doing fitness/diet content. she got married to a marine, joined tiktok, and moved to japan. tiktok is where she initially blew up, recording some of her moving process in 2019. her content used to be a lot less cozy/aspirational and she would bitch about japan a lot tbh lol. eventually she started that one trend (or at least made it viral), "8 things in my house that Just Make Sense" and that's when her content started growing legs.
her husband is basically middle-management on base in iwakuni. they aren't making huge money, probably because they had to pay extra for a house that would allow their dog.
anyway the TLDR: she's the wife of a marine and had been trying to start an online presence for years and a combination of japan + tiktok let her find SOME success. she's deleted her older youtube videos that had fewer views, so it's not as fishy as it seems.
No. 170399
>>170394well that's actually really interesting and speaks to how people subtractively adjust their personas. She seems to put out this characterization of herself that she's this self-made businesswoman in Japan just a workin girl. But in reality she has a visa because of her Marine husband and she's wiped all the evidence of her origin lore.
Typical.

No. 170658
>>170579I agree, I actually like her atlas quite a lot. I followed all her tiktoks during the pandemic tik tok craze and I also like her energy levels, she’s making the most of having moved to Japan while being a normal not obsessed person.
If I’m not mistaken she used to blog about her life in the US but she said she never had many followers.
She was crazy successful on tik tok and now she’s been filming things for tourism in Japan. She used to teach but from what I remember she was part time in some sort of high school maybe, doing like orientation.. but she left it to be a full time creator. I think she taught just cause she had nothing else to do and no money needs.
Part of her success is I think her audience was not originally Japan-obsessed people, it was random viewers who found it “exotic” and started following her.

I agree Martina isn't as sweet as she seems. She's written a lot of mean, bitter comments about Simon and so has he. They both have had their cutiepie loveydovey masks removed and exposed themselves as weirdos. And quite frankly I always thought Martina seemed a little munchie but I chalked it up to not knowing much about EDS.

>>171881Yea he snuck in lol, I guess he doesn't know much about discord, because your name pops when you enter a server so martina's discord admin caught him and kicked him out and posted the screenshot on the subreddit. He got asked about it on instagram and attempted a mental gymnastics explanation that he was looking for something and accidentally clicked martina's server. Of course no one believes him because you can't 'accidentally' enter a server. So that's why some are calling him
abusive, he's trying to keep tabs on her or have some sort of menacing control over martina.
Martina also posted on her own ig that Simon keeps a list of banned words on their shared ig like hawaii, travel, reddit, delete, block, etc. She said she clears it (along with the blocked people list) when she logs in, but of course he just goes back and reupdates the ban list.

People are not interested in him, because he puts up a fake happy teethy go lucky persona, his audience don’t seem to connect with him. I say that because, whenever he post any video about himself, his family etc the views drops significantly. The videos that do extremely well are the “days in the life of a Japanese ___”. So paolo is not the draw, yes his wife does an good job with the edits, and the series is well done and popular. But his viewers are no loyal. Chris viewers are very loyal to him, he consistently gets very high views, no matter the subject.

Since they're friends, it's fine to use casual language but from the way she speaks, it's more like she's from above/older than Natsuki and her style of speech is really only appropriate if they were close friends of the same age or if she was his senpai. ～じゃね？～いいじゃん？っていう～？～だった～？ ありがとうね～ Natsuki speaks casually to her but at the same level, not as if he's above her.
Chris' Japanese is also kind of rude but I don't think he's ever taken Japanese language classes before and only taught English. Why Sharla speaks the way she does is a mystery since she's worked as an interpreter and was exposed to Japanese in the workplace but I don't think it's intentional.

No. 172504
>>172316>>172326Relax. I didn’t make fun of anyone’s accent and all I said was that she's unintentionally "kind of rude" which is surprising given her background in Japanese. I was asked to explain and it’s hard to convey because it's not one thing and it’s not something you have in English, so I provided some examples to make it easier for people to understand. How Sharla and Chris talk in Japanese speaks to how much/little they interact with natives and use Japanese in their daily lives off camera, and gives us some idea into why they don’t use much Japanese and sound awkward when they do on camera. People here nitpick things they say in English allll the f-ing time. People before have pointed out how Sharla’s Japanese doesn’t match her life on paper and Sharla’s not a teenager or some fresh off the boat English teacher.
>>172321Eat it. Also, a lot of people have a koseki and have barely lived in Japan or speak Japanese.
>>172366You’re probably thinking of ～じゃねー, ～じゃねーか？ which is a different word.じゃね？ is a rougher version of じゃない？じゃないの？じゃないかな？だね、だよね which are already casual, but mainly a kanto thing that a lot of young people use right now among friends of the same age or below. The problem isn’t that Sharla uses casual language, but that she speaks from above Natsuki while speaking casually, while Natsuki speaks to her as if they’re the same. If you’re skeptical, just ask your Japanese friends if they would ever say ありがとね (not ありがとう), ～じゃね？ and ～じゃん to an
adult friend who’s older than them and have them explain to you what the problem is.
Like I said, I doubt it’s intentional and I’m sure Natsuki just brushes it off as her being a foreigner, but it’s not about a few words or even language only, Sharla is a 30-something year old who’s gone to a Japanese university and lived in Japan for over a decade now. People are setting the bar really low by using Chris as some kind of standard and praising Sharla for speaking some Japanese on camera with Natsuki, when she’s showing how little she actually speaks to Japanese in real life and maybe even to Natsuki off camera. Look at how Kemushi speaks to and treats her Japanese friends in Japanese if you want to make a fair comparison. She's done the same translation/interpreter work, also studied at a Japanese university (grad school) but hasn't spent as much time in Japan as Sharla.
Now if you want an example of someone speaking Japanese at a native level but coming off as rude, watch theanimeman and his interview with a yakuza. He actually pisses off the yakuza.

She used to make a big fuss about it but she ate some marshmallows recently without mentioning gelatin and ice cream from a stall that probably had dairy.

>>172915Chris somehow got a working holiday visa when he ended his JET time, and after that, he would have had to have some kind of visa to stay working in Japan. Those last 6 mo, with potential 2 renewals, so 1.5 years at the most. He got his first one at end of 2015, so by mid 2017 at the very latest he would have had to have a media/influencer visa set up somehow. If you remember at this time he was doing a TON of Tohoku sponsored videos. Ryotaro was running a business that involved this toursim board and this is how they met. I think anon was right about Ryotaro helping secure his visa through them, as a means of promoting tourism to Tohoku. In 2017 TC wasn't really much of a thing (they didnt start on youtube till 2018). So it's doubtful they set up Chris with a visa.
No. 172946
>>172915Some facts-
1) Chris does not get his Visa via Tokyo Creative- he gets it through Tōhoku tourism board.

3) Aki did get her Visa via Tokyo creative
4) Joey does not get his visa Tokyo creative, for he is no longer part of them.
5) joey gets his visa and is represented by Book walker.
6) chris per his own words in his Patreon - he is not under contract with Tokyo creative, but they do help him out with the couple of brand deals that he does, and he in turn will do a video here and there with them. But no contract.
6) Sharla is under contract with Tokyo creative

2) Sharla equally said it recently on her Patreon- she told a story about how during her last visa renewal at first the people at Tokyo creative filled out the wrong forms for her visa and she was nervous about it, because she only noticed while she was in the immigration office. The guy at the immigration was nice and allowed he to come back with the correct form. She than was very happy because when it was all said and done she got a 3 years visa for the first time ever.
3) I am assuming about aki since
In her moving to japan video- she lmentioned she got her visa via the company that reps her in japan - and that’s TC
5) I guessed on Joey
No. 172959
>>172931No one is spinning it as Chris taking advantage of Ryotaro. The point is that their relationship isn't comparable to Chris' with Natsuki because Ryotaro doesn't just appear in Chris' videos but is responsible for a lot of Chris' content through his own company and relationship with the tourism boards, and speaks fluent English.

No. 172963
>>172960I'd like to see proof too.
But I would point out, not that it matters, but every time Chris does a very Tohoku-promoting video, often Ryotaro is involved, and they go somewhere that Ryotaro has set up. Ryotaro is like what professional travel show producers (think Anthony Bourdain RIP) call a "fixer" - someone who creates the itinerary and arrangements for a travel show, who has local connects, etc. Chris is NOT paying Ryotaro for this. (Fixers ususally get paid well by production crews.)
Ryotaro and Chris have a really cool symbiotic relationship where they each benefit, and they have developed a funny repartee. Chris benefits from the content for his channel, and a VISA, and Ryotaro benefits because he has a contract with Tohoku to work with people like Chris to promote the region on social media. Tohoku Tourism pays Ryotaro, Chris gets a visa and views and clicks, everyone wins. TC has nothing to do with it. TC sets up other deals for Chris (like being the fixer for the whole original JAJ) and providing camera work etc. They benefit because Chris is so high profile.
I think people here are trying to make way too much out of this and not really understanding how brands/influencers/agencies actually function.

One hundred and one percent.
Chris is a pathetic hack. He fixates on one or two things and thinks it makes him edgy and cultured. He clearly just saw Brazil for the first time. Before that it was Blade Runner, referenced ENDLESSLY.
He gets the question "what's some cool Japanese music I should check out" on the podcast or via other social media and the only thing he has to offer is Tatsuro Yamashita who he brings up over and over and over because all he knows and thinks is cool is city pop.
He knows nothing about Happy End, Harumi Hosono, YMO, Ryuichi Sakamoto, etc. He doesn't know UA, Hikaru Utada, Bonnie Pink, SMAP, Mr Children, etc etc etc
I'm not going to go listing tons of classic Japanese pop artists but you get my drift.
He's so basic and ignorant it's horrible.
I agree with you that it's fucking embarassing to see someone in public flaunting this idea that they're a "filmmaker" and know shit about film and talk endlessly about how they're going to make short films, have all the time and money and resources to do so, and then NEVER do it. Just keep making Top Gear wannabe bullshit youtube content.
He's so full of himself it's pathetic.
A great example of his idiocy is that he did a whole video about the Tottori Sand Dunes (documented on this board with images proving he shared cabin with Sharla) and not ONCE does he mention the most ICONIC film to ever be inspired by and set in the Tottori Sand Dunes, called Woman in the Dunes which is a masterpiece of the Japanese New Wave of cinema in the 1960s and based on the incredibly important Japanese existential novel Woman in the Dunes by Kobo Abe.
Chris claims to be this "auteur" who is super into film and yet he's so fucking ignorant that he doesn't even make the connection to this groundbreaking piece of Japanese cinema when he goes to Tottori because showing his clown Natsuki on a camel is clearly the priority.
Chris is horrible and beyond

>>177986Tbh I had thought that Chris and sharla probably were dating but seeing as she travelled alone with what she was told was 95 percent likely to be an advanced cancerous tumour in her neck.. I think even with covid complicating things (or a cat that surely someone like Mark could mind) you'd accompany a partner facing that diagnosis and treatment. He was making videos eating junk foods from Japan as normal during all this. So I don't know now.
Shes at an age where you certainly expect your partner to be alongside you when faced with a life threatening health crisis and not to just leave that up to your parents. Whether she's currently single or whether she's seeing him secretly.. it at least appears she doesn't have that serious support there in Japan. I hope she is single, because if she's not that's bleak or should be an eye opening experience.

No. 178316
>>178250I've never known anyone facing what they thought was almost certain to be cancer.. and both partners agreed to be apart and let her go alone with just her family on the other end stepping in and him doing essentially nothing during the diagnosis, the surgery, the recovery. Nothing.
I don't know if she has a pattern now in her relationships where she sacrificed for the husband too and I never got the vibe he'd be one to return the favor. She moved and tried to adjust but was miserable, stuck it out for a while, the end. He wasn't about to move for her then. She's so private about things it's hard to tell but watching the video I was wondering does she just sell herself short when she's choosing partners or setting acceptable expectations? Because who would get a solo flight to go face likely cancer and honestly feel okay with that.

If you want to provide proof they are together just do it already, the speculation now is just plain delulu

normally (in past chris/TC videos) the guys would room together and the girls would. But we know that Natsuki was given his own train cabin and hotel room. So why would Chris be sharing a room with someone if it wasn't Sharla?

A podcast mentioning "you live with a canadian" doesn't even prove shit either considering everyone in YC moves like once every year and Chris and Sharla have lived in different parts of the country so many times, AWAY from each other, that the whole dating thing is complete bullshit.

No. 179145
>>179023Since I'm probably the only one here who was actually at the last TC orgy in Tokyo, I can break a few things down.
1. Connor tops
2. Sharla and Chris are definitely a couple and definitely have other partners
3. Emma is out of her element but she comes to the orgies anyway and doesn't seem to have much fun but it's like she's just doing it to fit in
4. Honestly the less said about Joey and Aki the better… but they are into some really crazy shit
5. Sydney is way more kinky in real life than the persona she puts forward, which is supposedly pretty kinky
6. At every orgy (finally had a new one earlier this month after almost two years of not having them thanks to covid) there USED to be new JETs who just got to Japan, and the orgy was kind of like a rehearsal to see if they would be accepted by the Jvlogger community. At the last one, there were no new faces, which kind of changed the dynamic.
7. John Daub, Paolo, LWIF, Rachel & Jun, Simon/Martina, were never involved in these.
8. Tkyosam found out about them just before Covid and tried to get invited but was shut out. Not sure what the status of his application is. Probably shut out for life.
9. The majority of particpants are behind the scenes people at TC
10. Ryotaro has only been twice, and the second time he came he brought an antique lacquer box, it was really nice. He opened it up and it was literally full of cocaine. Nobody knows where he has his connections but he's kind of lived all over the world so who knows. He wasn't at the one earlier this month.
11. Next one is scheduled for New Years but we don't expect Japanese people to be there, they're all home with their families at new years, so it will likely just be gaijin.

People keep bringing up the two livestream slip ups and there is no proof for either one, I don't believe the personal pictures in the background one, I think people are making some stuff up for shits and giggles.

How do you know if they cheated on their partners? It seems that Sharla and her husbands relationship ended before she went on that trip, she started spending less time in Korea during that summer and in her vid about moving back to Japan she said that they hadn't been together for quite a while. Also I doubt she would have gone on an almost 2 month long trip to Japan if everything was fine between them seeing as she was exited about living in Korea and having new experiences.

>>181165So it looks like Sharla was on the rebound, hooked up with Chris while he was still with Lily (most likely on the bike trip).
No wonder they want to keep it under wraps, if it got out it'd make them both look like shitty people. And the foundation of their relationship has trust undermined right from day 1, at least from Sharla as she'd never be able to trust Chris. Could be why she always tags along to his work trips now.
