I mentioned the “beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world” meme in the show’s introduction, and you can find the original article in The Onion at https://www.theonion.com/beautiful-cinnamon-roll-too-good-for-this-world-too-pu-1819576048. (And for the record, my favorite “cinnamon roll” character in fiction is probably Haru from Persona 5. I actually dated her in one of my P5 playthroughs because I couldn’t bear to reject her and break her heart.)
While I was talking about Jet Set Radio, I mentioned the extra tracks added to the game for the international version. Here are some links to a couple of them:
