To think this would be the last piece of art ever drawn by Sazanami Konami.

In the tweet version of this, they wondered what the next 365 days had in store. I guess they just didn't know it would tragically be cut short, far before it was time.

I can only offer a silent prayer. RIP

    Funnily enough, someone in the Twitter comments pointed out how accurate this is; because of WWII rationing, the U.K. lacked things like spices, cheeses, and butter, and so chefs and cooks had to improvise, resulting in blander food.

    The extremely bland British food actually started a lot earlier than that, primarily in London and other very large cities. Before the invention of the railway, as well as modern preservation techniques, such as canning and later refrigeration, the quality of many foodstuffs could reach, ahem, questionable llevels, before reaching the consumer. Food was also expensive and wages relatively low, so many people could only afford food of extremely poor quality and low nutritional value.

    @luntoer can you provide some for adding this to the two pools?

    I only added this to Current Events a couple years ago. The context is in the translations. At the time, YAMAHA was holding an audition for voice providers for a new voicebank: https://twitter.com/Yamaha_JP_PR/status/1493406999219822594. The results of that audition was ultimately Fuiro.

    @CharleyDodger added this to Hilarious in Hindsight just today because in 2019, Crypton Future Media left the VOCALOID engine to develop their own in-house engine, Piapro Studio. It was big news because it meant that from that point forward, Hatsune Miku was technically no longer a VOCALOID (see Hatsune Miku (NT)). But apparently that project wasn't too successful because just yesterday, August 1st, 2024, they announced that Miku would be returning to the VOCALOID engine with her upcoming new V6 AI voicebank: https://sonicwire.com/news/blog/2024/08/superpack
