NATSUKI: THE MOVIE | Watch Now! (Yes really!) (Patreon)

Oh my god, we did it!

I'm free! Freeeeee!

On a serious note guys, a huge thanks for making this happen. At last we can finally give Natsuki the screen time he deserves and see his life behind the scenes (as well as all the crazy stuff in Europe).

At the risk of devaluing the documentary, I’ve been suggesting on social media that Natsuki: The Movie should be a drinking game.
- Drink every time Natsuki drinks, smokes or swears (which is on average almost every 10 seconds I think). What better way to spend Thursday or Friday evening. (And of course, it doesn't have to be alcoholic).

Some awesome folks have even organised a streaming event if you do fancy watching it together!

There's so much to talk about but I think it's best saved for video; with that in mind, we've got two Patreon exclusive videos next week.

In the first video, “Natsuki: The Movie | Your Questions Answered” it’ll be your chance to get any question you have about the movie answered, in a Q&A video, where I’ll be sitting down with a beverage whilst answering and discussing anything you guys want to know!

In the second video “10 Things I Learned Making Natsuki: The Movie | From Start to Finish”, I’ll be discussing the various trials and tribulations that came about whilst producing the film. At times it was an utter nightmare to film, but for the most part it was a fun learning process, and I’d love to share with you all a behind the scenes commentary with exclusive clips, and a real in-depth insight into the whole process. It should be entertaining - and dare I say educational to those of you interested in filmmaking!

And for those of you that aren't Natsuki fans (Ryotaro's army) and are looking for other content, we've also had two great Podcast out this past week.

In today's Podcast Pete and I discussed some of the biggest news stories in Japan from this month, including an awkward meal between the Japanese Prime Minister and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu involving a chocolate shoe, and terrifying story involving a criminal on the run in Chiba, who's incident sounds like a character out of a David Lynch film.

In last week’s Podcast “21 Questions” we answered questions sent in by listeners and raced against the clock to answer an obscene amount in a short space of time.

Questions include: What question do you get asked the most? Do viewers visit Natsuki’s salon? What are the best parts of living in rural Japan? How can you meet people while travelling Japan?

► You can have a listen to both here: http://hyperurl.co/nhgr30

It'll be back to normal videos in the next week or so and we'll be hitting the ground running into the next major project: Cycling across Japan for a month! More on that to follow.

Sadly Youtube demonetised Natsuki: The Movie, although I requested a manual review. Good luck to whoever has to sit through the film for an hour and work out if it's family friendly!

Enjoy the film guys and once again a huge super thanks to you all for turning a vague idea into HD reality.

P.S. What was your favourite quote from the film?

Mine was:
"I'm eccentric power. I have eccentric power."
- Whatever the devil that means.
