On October 24, the popular YouTube channel "Mochimaru Nikki," boasting 1.99 million subscribers, announced that it will conclude its activities on YouTube on December 13, marking the channel's 7th anniversary. The channel itself will remain accessible even after new posts cease.
Mochimaru Nikki is a channel that chronicles the daily lives of two cats, Mochimaru and Hanamaru, along with their owner, who refers to themselves as their "servant." The owner decided to announce the channel's retirement on Mochimaru's 7th birthday and to conclude it on the 7th anniversary of the channel, which also commemorates the day Mochimaru was welcomed into their home.
In a pinned comment on a video, the owner explained that the decision to bring their activities to a close took a considerable amount of time. Expressing concern about potentially disappointing viewers and grappling with how to conclude the broadcasts, they conveyed deep gratitude to the audience who had watched for seven years. They reflected that viewer support also enabled them to engage in rescue cat activities and provide material aid.
The comment section saw an influx of messages expressing sadness, requests to keep the videos and channel available, and posts wishing for the continued health and happiness of the two cats. The owner stated that even after the broadcasts end, they will continue to care for Mochimaru and Hanamaru to ensure they live happily.
