I watched this documentary in 2011, and for 10 years I've been trying to find it, failing in that until yesterday.

The only thing i recalled from it was Naoki's "you gave us capitalism" reply. Which was enough for chatgpt to find it for me to end the itch i wanted to scratch for a decade.

This documentary gave me a scar when i was young, a healthy scar that kept me from forgetting it like most things from that far away time and place in the 2010s.

But I'm glad it shocked that younger version of me, and I'm glad that google was sending me to watch The Princess of the Yen in every time i tried to search for this documentary, because the wait was worth it, it feels good to see something so personal, so real and slow in a time where most content is jumpy and sugar coated.

This will stay with me for the next 10 years as well, that's rare.

i really enjoy listening to documentaries while studying. unfortunately, youtube is only pushing documentaries about serial killers, violent crimes & nuclear disasters, which is not the type of thing i like hearing. i don't mind scandals/drama, i even dip into some stuff about cults, but i just don't like documentaries that are completely focused on people dying incredibly brutally, doing horrible things or being abused/in abusive situations.

for example i recently discovered Paper Will, who makes videos about entertainment, some made by cults, others about the flaws of kid entertainment. i don't really know how to describe their content, but i really enjoy it. i'm hoping to get some recommendations for other less intense stuff, so hopefully youtube gets the memo.

On NATO’s Eastern Flank, low-grade Russian attacks are ramping up. For decades, Lithuania and the Baltic states have issued warnings about the threat of Moscow, long before the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Lithuania, sandwiched between Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave and Belarus, is particularly vulnerable to threats.

As we enter the Christmas season, there is no doubt you will hear familiar holiday anthems like Jingle Bells and White Christmas. And there is no singer best immortalized as the voice of Christmas than Bing Crosby. However, to dismiss him as just “the Christmas guy” is a grave error.

Bing Crosby was without question one of the most beloved and popular entertainers of the 20th century and his contributions to American culture must never be forgotten.

I've begun really enjoying this YouTube channel (Oceanliner Designs). They put out super interesting, high-quality, long-form documentary content about ships and shipwrecks.

This one tackles the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald (whose 50-year anniversary just passed) and analyzes--in-depth--some of the most common theories about her sinking.
