Missing Wacky Weekend?

I was doing a binge of rewatching Wacky Weekends the other day and I noticed that I couldn't find one my old favourite ones. It was the one where they went to the abandoned theme park and Connor met Natsuki for the first time.
I noticed that after digging for an old link somewhere that the video got privated? Did Chris ever address it that something happened? Also would there be any place that might have it archived?

We did the same wacky weekend trip 2 years ago, we even stayed at the exact same Onsen hotel as the boys, but during a typhoon

What are some of the books on stoicism and philosophy chris has mentioned before?

I remember over the years Chris has spoken about some of the books he read early on about different philosophies, I'd love to find out what those books were so I can look into them.

Videos covering northern Honshu

Can anyone recall a short series of sponsored videos that Chris did some years back, focusing on northern Honshu?

I recall they featured Ryotaro and that perhaps were a little more serious in tone, focusing quite a bit on local destination highlights.. anyway, I can't find them anywhere within Abroad in Japan's various playlists, and so I'm turning to the Reddit community!

Reason being is that I've just booked flights for a Japan trip this Oct/Nov with our focus being on northern Honshu, Hokkaido and then Kyushu (it's a 2 week trip with a domestic flight from one end to the other).

I remember finding these videos really insightful, and I'm keen to rewatch them (if possible).

I'm also aware of Chris's more recent 'Journey Across Japan: Non-Stop-North series, which I think is very entertaining but less useful for actually learning about the region, etc.
