I don’t know if someone has posted this yet, but as I just heard on NHK radio of Venetia Stanley-Smith’s passing and tried to check if anyone mentioned it on Reddit, I found this gem (a rabbit hole of a YouTube channel) that cheered me up a bit despite the sad news.

That’s a shame about her passing. She seemed like a lovely person.

Nice video though! :joy:

Sudden guilty feelings well up, but I guess it’s kind of natural for me to try to avert the inevitable sad news with something more light-hearted.

Here’s an homage to the late Venetia (instead of a Peter Barakan meme), and it’s a short video in Japanese to fit this thread’s topic, at least.
