Some milk summarized from the previous thread:
>Queen Sharla and King Chris have been secretly dating since at least 2019, clues are all over the place. Currently doing a very shit job of hiding it.
>Norm is creepier than ever. Has a secret sugar-mommy wife and hāfu child, can never be seen with his family and gives the impression of being single. ​Also known for aggressive outbursts and sockpuppet shenanigans.
>Emma is still having monthly breakdowns but is able to make and edit videos about it.
>Tokyo Creative vloggers trying to stay afloat, now with less budget, less consistent quality videos, but maybe most importantly less Okano-backstabbery.
>Mimei, Kim Dao, Bii.. lost and forgotten?

Taylor, Aki and some other Jvloggers may have their own thread, please post your (non-)milk in their corresponding threads!

Please sage your non-milk posts! General rules apply: https://lolcow.farm/rules

Kind of miss when Taylor was still in Japan and everyone had their mean girls arc. All the ex-jvloggers don’t do anything anymore, it’s so boring

No. 166572

It's been 3+ weeks since Sharla posted anything to YT. Very curious about the mental/editing/narrative gymnastics she will now be doing since she will be full-time living with (or at least very close to) Chris. This is the only time I've been interested in her channel in years.

That’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

it strikes me as a bit ridiculous to be honest, the lengths they go to hide it. i sort of get why chris might want to keep things secret but it makes way more sense to just have it as an open secret kind of thing, where they keep things hidden to some degree by not openly addressing their relationship, but they won't outright deny it either. having to scrub every trace of your relationship every time you make a slip up just seems exhausting & it's clearly a problem they've been running into a few times now

sharla just got done going public with her divorce and you can tell it was really hard for her. if she was public with chris then that means if they break up she will have to go through that again. makes sense she would keep it dl just in case.

No. 166893

Yeah people demanding they go public are being massively fucking weird about it. If sharla made fun of YouTube couples or played the “I’m so single gaiz” card I’d see it as milk, but this is literal definition of “mad over nothing”

No. 166913

Right!? Sharla has always been super private about her romantic life. I don’t remember her ever showing her ex husband’s face on her vids, snd she didn’t talk about the divorce until she had moved back to Japan.

Some people don’t want their relationships to be super public, and that is okay. Refreshing, even.

I used to really like his channel. Since the baby, alot of videos on his main channel ended up just being about the baby.. The Day In The Life content is awesome. Baby stuff, eh, wish he would keep it to the tokyo zebra channel.

Maybe Chris & Sharla aren't going public bc they think their relationship won't work out?

What are the odds they last anyway?
He will get bored soon enough and go for someone less lazy, smarter & skinnier.

She 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.

I 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

>>166962
Tbh 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.

I can't believe he gave Wolverine as a part of his kid's name lmao
it's even a hard word for japanese people to pronounce, what a way to fuck your kid
plus the kid has a kirakira first name 'taiga'

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

wow. you sound so bitter.

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.

Chris and Sharla are so boring and basic. It's hilarious how Chris thinks he's this edgy cynic. He's a puffball with like no real edge to him whatsoever. He is so ignorant of most of the things he talks about, his knowledge is so surface level. His last video about architecture actually shocked me because he did actual research.
The two of them together are like the relationship equivalent of a yawn. I just think it's weird that they go to such lengths to hide it from their subs. It's like parents who are afraid for their kids to find out they have sex.

Chris is basically a knock-off Jeremy Clarkson in Japan. But you've got to understand the quality of his competition are mostly women whose "content" still consists of eating whacky flavored Japanese snacks and whose marketing is basically "I have an Asian boyfriend please pay attention to me".

Unrelated to your post but in the same vein, I came across this youtube channel from youtube recs. Tl;dw an american disney fanatic couple(japanese mother, military father) living in Japan and constantly doing weeb shit.

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.

The whole living in Japan dream is kinda over with now compared to like a decade before. People are more interested in other countries, or most girls are now into korea because of kpop.
Jvloggers have constantly rehashed the same content for a decade

to be fair, chris is trying to travel out to more unique places in japan; compared the jvloggers who barely leave tokyo. But I think Chris is running out of ideas because according to Trash Taste, it's now coming down to Chris going to google map and zooming in into random places trying to find something and anything interesting lol

If 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.

I 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 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.

Yeah that’s another peeve of mine, they’re living the weeb dream off of military money. Out of curiosity I looked into the tuition for their kid’s school and it was like 10k USD a year.

Chris 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

Never thought I would see them here. Not very milky. So what if they buy out lotteries if it’s really busy they will buy what they can and go back in line. These lotteries typically have an extra item included if you buy out the lottery so this type of stuff is encouraged in Japan. Nancy has her moments on camera, but collectors are typically hoarders. Not trying to WK I just think this is reaching.

Nta but I remember some moments where nancy was getting the husband to stick up for her when she got a few negative comments and there was some milk but that's a while back. I suspect she has some undiagnosed mood thing going on and that's why the hubby has been a saint through some of her episodes. She's freaked out on a few livestreams that I've seen.

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.

chris likes to call himself a film maker but he seems to be very amateurish in that domain. Compare his work to actual film makers like Danny Gervitz, Peter Mckinnon, (or any other film maker with a yt presence) to see what I mean.
Its a classic case of a big fish in a small pond and the localised success is feeding his ego.
When he released his last passion project he got a bunch of constructive criticism which he didn't handle well (alluded to it in his last trash taste appearance).
Hoping he drops the attitude and arrogance to genuinely improve his craft but I don't see him having much success beyond his amateurish j tourism vids.

Something I've noticed too, actually any type of criticism. Especially in the YT comment sections. If you dare post something you don't like about a video, you are ridiculed either by Chris personally in a "reading hate mail" video, or by his fans. He's been using the "from subs to unsubs" line for a long time for example.

Yes this is correct, he's like their pet, it's disgusting, they exploit him.

When Chris pushed him into the waterfall and laughed at him and he lost his pants is when I realized what a douche Chris is. They surely planned it in advance, fine, but it still shows Chris character and relationship to Natsuki.

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

That is probably the most unlikely reason ever. She is decorating the house and Chris is decorating the "studio".

I waa convinced that she was pregnant a lil while back when I noticed her clearly hiding her stomach in videos. Noticed it on both her channel and when she appeared on a couple of TC ones aswell as Chris and joeys noodle challenge. She was holding items in front of her in the way actresses do to hide a bump while filming. I think her weight in that area fluctuates and she's self conscious. She's even addressed pregnancy rumours before because people kept either seeing a bump or attributing her behaviour to that.

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.

i 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.

sharla was a bit heavier while living in korea (i think she's on the taller side?), but then lost weight after/during her divorce by intermittent fasting… but i don't know where she's at now.

One thing that always bothers me about Sharla’s lie of “hey I got a second apartment for “work”.

Another lie - she lies on her channel about just getting the appartment in April. But on the trash taste podcast Aki described going up to visit Sharla in morioka where Sharla surprised her with a birthday cake.

Sunny apparently lied about his stepdads passing being the reason she didn't post. She allegedly said her stepdad had passed away August 9th, but then uploaded on Tiktok the very next day. Her comment section is ripping her a new one, even though they were deleting the comments that didn't do them a favour. I guess it was a failed sympathy attempt.

A lot of people lost their visas because of Chris O's stunt. I believe Sharla was also going through an uncertain visa period because she was employed at TC as well. May this year she got her 3 year visa.

Sunny and Chris also faked the whole fasting during Ramadan thing (they were caught drinking somewhere else), and that with a massive Muslim audience. Chris Okano mentions stuff is being taken out of context, but I don't think anyone believes him.

what 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

It’s probably the other way around, they work for super low rates in exchange for the possibility of a work visa

I think it was posted in the older threads, but an old employee said the company was deep into the red. Probably from expenses and expenditures of flying/sending all the youtubers on vacations to record content.

When you get hired for a job, you get paid. Unless it was salaried(which they're obviously not), even as talent, they were probably being paid on a hourly rate. The amount these youtubers were paid for their jobs, was probably low because of the promise of a visa on the table. Also Chris Okano is scummy, and probably asked them to take a lower "friend discount" for their work.

>>168515
anon from >>168432 implies they allowed TC to take income from their personal channels, which makes no fucking sense.

Lol so tc does not take a cut of any of the YouTubers Adsense revenues. But when they ask the you tubers job offers for sponsor like the ‘host town projects’ or Santory project, they take a cut of that sponsor money. Also they ask some of the YouTubers to appear on the tc channel for free, tc keeps all the ad revenues for the tc channel. They will also field & negotiate sponsorships for their influencers, taking a cut of it. They also make money from the Japanese government for travel contents.

They should have, but they don’t. That’s was one of Chris O bad business decision, by not asking for at least a small percentage. Per Chris B on Radrey podcast “why come Japan” not only is he not under contract with TC buy also they get 0% of his ad revenues. That’s why he joined them and helps them out whenever he feels like it by appearing on their videos.

TC was suppose to work on this pay for a class service like skillshare. It was called TClearn or something like it. It was the brain child of Chris O where the top influencers would teach a class on a specific subject that they are “expert” on. And after all tithe hard work into it for free, the new leadership that fired Chris O decided to not go through with the project… the other creators were pissed. If you notice there is a period of time for about a year where Chris did nothing with TC on their channel, that’s why.

No. 168537

Yep! 0 incentive for him. He does use some of the staff for camera work if he is in Tokyo for example. Shiori helped him film the train video, which was suppose to be a santory sponsorship negotiate by TC, but fell through. Alex Lee the Malaysian girl who works for TC helped him film that capsule tower video and Ian who works for TC helps him produce JAJ. He pays them for the work I would imagine.

TC's youtube channels don't make squat from ad revenue. Their website claims they provide all these services (it's a bizarre laundry list of everything from " influencer promotions" whatever that means to providing translation services and yes the TC Learn garbage shitshow as well. Vague "project management" and "social media management" - There's no way the company (pre or post Okano) brings in enough money to pay the rather large staff they still maintain even after shedding people plus expenses on their office/studio plus however they compensate their "influencers". This "company" is still investor funded, someone somewhere has some deep ass pockets and eventually they'll get tired of flushing money down the toire.

Yes of course Chris and Sharla "work together" but if it was a work trip then why would Natsuki have his own room while Sharla and Chris shared a room? 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.

Could not agree more. I have always disliked how Chris and especially Connor give the impression how their wallets are hurt all the time. Meanwhile both of them spend their money frivolously on Chinese crap, mega 8k cameras that don't show on your tiny phone screen and eating wagyu every night. That "spending my 30th birthday alone" livestream Chris did in Sharla's apartment (=closet room, go check out the previous thread before you disagree) last year (he was NOT alone since they are 100% dating and travel was banned) made him get so many sympathy donations and superchats… that is just LYING for money if you think about it.

First of all you misunderstand the point of my post it was a celebration of how well they are doing. Second the spending his birthday alone was not to garner sympathy it’s a title, it wasn’t a fundraiser geesh. Third of all if Chris was really money hungry he would produce way more videos and do way more live streams, and he doesn’t. I would not put him in a category of money hungry. People are allowed to earn money, Relax!! It was just a discussion on how well they are doing. Making money or being successful is a good thing, we should celebrate when others do well.

I understood your post, I agree they make a lot of money and you may celebrate that. I was actually agreeing with anon who posted >how they pretend they're not making nearly as much money as they do. Especially Connor.

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

>>16916
Well 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.
While we are that topic of superchats a person that I have an issue with is only in Japan- his live streams certainly feels like a fundreaiser, but than again no one is twisting his viewers arms lol

No. 169173

Also I thought Connor did a pretty good job explaining his thought process or approach to how he speaks about money. He explained that making this much money on YouTube is new to him, but also that YouTube income can go up and down significantly from month to month. And it took him a while to adjust to his new income range and to see how consistent it would be. Sudden success can be pretty jaring

There is a 3rd reason to add to your list: because some of the people actually did feel bad for him for being alone on his birthday. 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

>>169189
I 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. PS He is the only one I have donated to because he was struggling financially, and seem like a genuine nice guy, the rest I would never.

I've been thinking about this because there's so many convoluted ideas going around. They lived together in Morioka, they lived together in Sendai, they're dating since 2018, they're dating since 2020… whatever. Who CARES. But: I have thought about it and I have a theory.
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.

The weird thing about it all is hiding relationships is cheater behavior. 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 where's the evidence, but it certainly could with this setup.

Officially, Japan does have dual citizenship until 22 years old for those with a Japanese parent and there's also a loophole that allows dual citizens who obtained their other citizenship by birth/blood to keep their Japanese citizenship even after they turn 22 if the other country allows dual citizenship, so many hafu continue to keep their Japanese citizenship even if they don't or never live in Japan.

Daniel is half-Malaysian/Chinese, not Japanese, and was only in Japan on a work then marriage visa and I think not there long enough to apply for permanent residency.

>>169451
Japanese law is very strict that after age 22 you must pick a nationality regardless of where you were born, if one of your parents is a native born japanese. If your non-Japanese parent is, say, American, you must renounce your Japanese citizenship should you decide to retain American citizenship. It's always been this way. Similarly, if a Japanese marries a foreign national after the age of 20, they have 2 years to maintain their Japanese nationality before they must renounce one of the citizenships.

No. 169475

>>169466
No, you can maintain your Japanese citizenship as long as you don't renounce it or attempt to acquire another citizenship after 22. This is because Japan can't force you to renounce the citizenship of another country and they have never revoked Japanese citizenship of an adult dual national by blood/birth in such cases. It's a very well-known secret among half-Japanese and Japanese embassies and consulates have also advised dual nationals about it. However, it means you'll be treated as Japanese in Japan so if you commit a crime, you'll be punished as a Japanese and not deported as a foreigner. If you're skeptical, just google it.

If he or she fails to choose his or her nationalities, he or she may lose Japanese nationality."

The Japanese gov has never forced a dual national who obtained foreign citizenship through a parent to relinquish their Japanese citizenship. This is why many adult half-Japanese still maintain multiple nationalities and having dual nationality is very beneficial when it comes to business, work and family since you don't need to worry about visas. Taxes can be an issue if you're American and make over a certain amount.
"In April, the Justice Ministry confirmed to The Japan Times that the justice minister had never issued a warning to a dual citizen by birth to decide upon one nationality, meaning that no such dual national has ever been stripped of their Japanese citizenship under Article 15 of the Nationality Act." https://www.citinavi.net/single-post/japan-what-does-japan-s-nationality-act-really-mean-for-its-dual-citizens

They might be shitty at managing money or they have a lot of debt to pay off or both. Before Youtube Paolo had a start up company that developed an app called "eikaiwa now". It didn't go anywhere and he shutdown the app in 2019. He talked about it in one of his videos and said he put all of his money into it but it's safe to assume he also took out loans. Although it wasn't a complete loss for him since he was able to meet his wife Maiko because she was one of his employees.

In an old video (one of the moving process, now deleted videos), she mentioned he worked for the government. I think it may have been at the US embassy in law or a related field. The husbands work paid for all the relocation including moving the dogs I think so he must do something quite important. Kind of shocked me cause they seemed maybe early 30s at the time, and that seems quite young to be in such a well compensated position. But I have been watching her since then and enjoy her videos.

No. 170335

I 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

Emma 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*y. She offers none of that weeb crap. She is clearly well off, not working a shtty job, is well travelled and well rounded.

lol 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

well 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. 170416

I like her.atlas and was recommended her moving to Japan video like over a year ago? I think the algorithm helped her out too. My main conspiracy with her is that she is no WAY just in her 20s. I don’t remember the exact age she claims to be but everything about her says 30s. Her appearance, but moreso her attitude, her humor, her other friends (her friends are graying), her interests (pottery and crafts). I also don’t think she teaches or anything, but claims to do it for relatability. I do like her videos though. She’s not too weeby and she’s not a vegan, dairy free, or obsessed with cats. IMO she’s one of the few ‘normal’ female jvloggers. Her and the one who moved to Taiwan were my favorites.

I 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.

Ive been following her since her japan moving vlogs went up. She had a few videos prior to that but none of them had more than a few thousand views. the japan moving vlogs (I think there were atleast 3-4 videos) hit big numbers, and thats where her subscribers came from.

ehlers danlos syndrome. it's a connective tissue disorder that has a massive range of severity. Some people just have extra bendy joints, some people are wheelchair bound by the time they're in their 40's. It's become a very popular online muchie diagnosis, but it's definitely very real and can be debilitating in it's more severe forms.

I imagine Martina is going to stay in Japan as long as she can before she has to use a wheelchair, I think she just uses a cane sometimes now. I vaguely remember the (controversial) reason for them leaving Korea when they did is because Martina's condition is getting worse and it was their (or her) dream to live in Japan before she's immobile.
And damn I feel bad for her, I think no one really realized how toxic (or crazy) Simon is lol if he was always like this or his midlife crisis is making it worse.

Land is expensive in japan so most homes have 2 floors, it's cheaper to build up. Also, seems like to simon/martina had the need to live in a trendy hipster area like Kichioji. Even in Korea they lived and worked in Hongdae which is super expensive and probably why they had to do a gofundme

Japan is difficult for those with mobility issues. There’s lots of stairs and elevators can be really out of the way. I’ve seen elevators that you have to walk up stairs to use.

Life Where I'm From has done some videos about living with a disability in Japan (Tokyo) a way back. His Traveling With A Physical Disability in Japan video is also informative. But Martina's first problem is that she doesn't know much Japanese and it isn't easy to get a visa to enter Japan right now. It seems kinda premature to be announcing a move.

No. 171520

The fanbase despises Simon because he vacationed in Hawaii during the pandemic, but nobody seems to be saying shit about Martina thinking she's going to move to Japan during a pandemic. Granted maybe she doesn't mean anytime soon, but tbh, this pandemic doesn't seem like it's ending anytime this year so talking about moving to another country period seems irresponsible IF you care about that.

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. At the very least I think she plays up her frailty a bit so her audience thinks she's such a strong girlboss for overcoming a painful hip.

Plus martina has hinted he has narcissistic personality disorder and stated 'he was not a wonderful husband' or w/e, some are questioning if there may have been abuse, and his gaslighting has became apparent whenever he does his mental gymnastics reasoning for something (like sneaking into martina's discord).

Yea 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.

He has to turn everyone around him into a "character" like "Natsuki the clown" or "Ryotaro the villian" or "Pete the bizarre Japanophile" because he's so immature he can't just accept people for who they are and conduct himself like an adult relatinship.

As far as Paolo is concerned. I am fascinated about his views. 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. And most of all, the nerve of that Sam guy to put himself in Paiolo category, Paolo worst performing video number wise is Sam best. So crawl back to that sh8t box, you call home Sam.

It's hard to explain because it's probably not something you'd learn in a Japanese class. 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.

Just so we're clear, we're talking about じゃねぇ?which comes from じゃない?じゃないの? but even more casual, not じゃあね bye. It's OK to use with your close friends and people your age, but Natsuki is older and not a close friend, just a friend. It doesn't mean Sharla has to use keigo with him and she can still speak casually, but notice how Natsuki speaks to her.

Honestly, stop it with the Chris is mean bit. If you follow Chris long enough you would know, that this is the banter that they do, t’s nothing new and it’s not mean spirited, it’s called scarcasm. You can question if it’s funny ( it’s not IMO) but ryotoro doesn’t need Chris, he is a successful business man. If he was being bullied by Chris, he wouldn’t work with him.

Yeah I agree his schtick with ryotaro is just hamming up the 'british' humour. But as a britfag I find it really cringe, and it does come off as rude sometimes.

But IME the only people who find that kind of thing funny are insecure middle class blokes and girls trying to impress them.

Worst part is he makes fun of slapstick Japanese humour, he finds it low hanging fruit and easy. Meanwhile he contributes to only one form of overdone rude humour that people seem to mistake as British. His proper Brit humour was funny and novel at start and in appropriate dosage.

Relax. 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.
>>172321
Eat it. Also, a lot of people have a koseki and have barely lived in Japan or speak Japanese.

>>172366
You’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.

career wise jvlogging is a trap. Take away the japan and all you're left with is a mediocre personality, mediocre filming and editing and the need to start from scratch for any other career.

The dude has helped build entire brands for Natsuki and Ryotaro.

He’s always vocal on podcasts about how he wants to support him, how he pays Natsuki and even gave half the merchandize sales to him. His actions speak louder than words.

That’s my definition of a true friend… you need to find a reason to hate on Chris sure have at it, but just because you say it doesn’t make it true.

Where did this information come from that Ryotaro is the one who set Chris up with a visa, because an anon said it? Literally where is that information aside from anons wishing it were true because they want to spin it as Chris 'taking advantage' of Ryotaro?

But she has a visa because of Tokyo Creative. He's one of the 'experts', but she's one of the influencers on the site. Unless they marry, her visa has nothing to do with him.

Chris 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. 172944

I thought the Japanese tourism board gave him a media visa because of his youtube channel and then because of the Korean missle video he had that went on trending nationally in Japan in 2017, and that's when TC picked him up.

Some facts-
1) Chris does not get his Visa via Tokyo Creative- he gets it through Tōhoku tourism board.
2) Chris does not get visa from Ryotaro- although he did help Chris get his working holiday visa.
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

Anon where is anything you are saying to back any of this up? This is as bad as the anons in the Mikan thread arguing which visa she actually has.

All these people apparently don't have visas even though they all work for the same company. Make that make sense, retard. Why hasn't any anons posted this patreon post from Chris that exists, where does Joey ever say any of this? I just want to know where anons are getting these visa facts when no one has posted anything about it besides saying we should take anons words for it.

Tokyo creative is not a top tier rich company, do you really think that they throwing tones of money at Natsuki? I Am sure he gets some money from them, when he apears is their video, but it’s nothing to write home about. But ummm ask yourself, who do you think got Natsuki that small job at Tokyo creative?

He's not hurting for cash, anon. Why does it matter at all if Chris got him a job? He wasn't homeless to begin with, he was traveling Europe for fucks sake.

1) Chris said so his Patreon live stream - someone mentioned something about him hardly apearing in TC videos he laughed and said I am not represented by TC, someone asked about visa and he said I get it from tohoku Tourism
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

No 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.

Chris paid for his trip to travel Europe- well more like Chris Patreon did. Because they were filming the natsuki movie. That’s another reason why natsuki wants to do another movie, because he wants Chris to take him to the USA Texas especially. Per the podcast natsuki is struggling financially because his business is in the countryside and because of the shrinking population there. Thus why Chris set up the cameo for him.

I'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.

A lot of Japanese people like the mundane, just go with it, life too which Natsuki absolutely always repeats in any videos about how much he loves just relaxing. He isn't the type of dude to care about having a massive house and stuff and anons need to realize, that most places in Japan don't sell anymore than a 1 bedroom to residents. Even CDawg had a massively hard time getting a 2 bedroom during his last move, because it just confuses the fuck out of Japanese people that a single person needs any more than a single room.

Things I don't understand why she doesn't do: she could pluck the brow hairs on her glabella so it would give the illusion of her eyes being further apart. Same effect if she only applied eyeliner in the outer corners of her eyes. Also her constant lipfillers call attention to the fact how wide her mouth is which throws the proportions off in her face. Also I just don't understand…how her nose works. In profile, it looks small and fits her face, but from the front, it looks like it's too large for her face

the shape of her nose from the front is not great, because it's so bottom-heavy. she didn't let the doctors change it when she got a nose job, she just made them try to make it more symmetrical. because her nose goes from very thin at the top to very wide at the bottom, it makes it look like she's perpetually in a fish eye lens. she should have let the korean docs give her the standard pixie ass nose tbh

Chris is such a fuckin basic bitch. This is exactly why he says year after year that he wants to make a short film but never has ideas. He can only replicate what he sees instead of creating something new. Yet, he thinks of himself as some auteur.

I agree with you anon
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 problematic.

It's not an obscure film and the novel is considered one of the most famous Japanese novels of all time outside Japan. I agree anon went a little overboard on Chris mentioning Brazil, but not bringing up the film when he was at the Dunes is kind of unthinkable, even if he hadn't seen it. They have the novel on display at the museum-visitors center, its mentioned in most English language travel guides and one of the main reasons why foreign tourists visit the place. But in his Journey Across series, he missed a lot of the main or most important sites (which would have made his videos look better cinematography-wise too) when he visited each city and spent more time on antics, so it's not just a film thing and a pattern.

No. 174957

He probably just didn't think his audience would be interested. Maybe he's never seen the movie and is a pleb with no taste in film, but if it's such a prominent aspect of tourism in the area it sounds like he would at least be aware of it and made a choice not to bring it up.

Just a driveby comment from someone who doesn't watch Chris, but wouldn't this problem arise from the fact he has a location manager who actually decides on locations and researches them? So he doesn't actually do the research himself and if his manager doesn't mention something beforehand it will not be mentioned in the video. (I'm probably using the wrong words, but someone wrote above that Chris has a guy who scouts out + researches locations so I'm just extrapolating on the information here)

If you're thinking of Ryotaro, I think he's mainly responsible for the locations in Northern Japan and it looks like Chris was sponsored by the Sunrise Express train for the Tottori Dunes video.

There's a limit to how many hours you can work per week if you're on a student visa and everyone has to report their earnings and pay taxes if they live in Japan.

There is no way that Sharla was able to afford surgery in a US hospital, and all the travel expense on her own. She most certainly got help, from a certain more successful, richer YouTube jvlogger. Without insurance her hospital bill alone will be around an eye watering $15000 to $25000. Especially if it was a specialty hospital. US healthcare system is no joke, and they would have not have touched her without a large deposit either.

Tbh 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. 178250

>>178236
I 100% agree that he should have been there. But perhaps they made the decision that he would not go together. Mark lives hours away in Fukuoka, he has a job he would not be able to watch her cat. Chris had a major interview lined up in October. Corona travel restriction must’ve factor into their decision as well. Other than Chris possibly being a shitty boyfriend, they are a very very serious long term couple.

I'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.

No. 178319

>>178316
Well, it could be that they're more interested in continuing to keep the relationship under wraps than anything else, like that takes precedence. They knew that if Chris accompanied her to Canada they'd pretty much have to let the cat out of the bag at that point.

Samefag cos I forgot to add -
Let’s state some actual facts:
Chris and Sharla work together and have a close circle of friends, they are obviously very good friends.
They (now) both live in Sendai.
They do have chemistry on camera (which tbh is the only thing that would convince me they’re fucking).
Here are your made up ‘facts’:
Sharla and Chris are dating because they have the same mug.
Because they have the same mug that means they live together.
Sharla had a chair in her appt that looked the same as Chris’
During a livestream someone apparently saw a picture frame with Sharla and Chris in an embrace but no one on the internet thought to screen shot it
Someone said something on a livestream about Sharla and Chris’s place but quickly changed the subject.
Chris took Sharla to the airport so that must mean they are together.

you forgot to add how sharla was with chris and natsuki in the video about the train and the dunes/camel stuff. we saw a bed in chris's cabin that was obviously used by another person, and we saw a futon next to chris's in his room. we also know the only people on the trip was chris, natsuki, sharla and shiori.

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?
