YouTube has been killing my channel for several months now. It's simply not pushing my videos to the audiences and as a result, they experience a sudden drop in views and overall performance.

Two days ago, I received a message from the YT community technicians saying that this was a known issue amongst thousands of channels and that they had finally fixed it, which means it wasn't a matter of the algorithm simply not liking my videos, but an issue in their system.

However, despite their claims of having it fixed, we're not only still experiencing the same issues, they're getting worse with each upload.

I wanted to let you know that I have been working on many videos, that I'm very happy about and really want to share with all of you, but due to these long-lasting circumstances I'm holding off from posting them until the problem is solved once and for all.

I've grown tired of the results being so disproportionate to my efforts, I believe my videos deserve a chance.

I'm trying not to get too disheartened, so I will continue working on more projects while YouTube keeps trying to fix the issue. Hopefully it will be over sooner than later.

Kitsunes up 🤘🏼

お知らせ: 今後、リアクション動画は投稿しません。

この決断に至った理由はいくつかありますが、その中でも特に、予想以上に多くの不快な出来事が重なり、正直とてもつらく感じています。たとえば、一部の人からの卑猥で不快なコメントが絶えず寄せられ、その都度削除しなければなりません。さらに、私の顔をスクリーンショットして印刷し、不適切な行為をした上でネットに投稿する人まで現れました。

また、「あなたはファンダムを代表しているから」と言われ、私の発言や行動の一つひとつが細かく分析され、批判されることもありました。

私は、このような注目のされ方を望んでいません。著名人の方々がこうした状況にどう向き合っているのか、想像もつかないほどです。

このチャンネルで顔出しをしたことで、ファンの皆さんとの心温まる交流 (ライブ会場で声をかけていただいたり、お話しできたり) もたくさんありました。でも今は、ネガティブな反応の影響が、そうした良い経験を上回り始めていると感じています。

念のためお伝えしますが、今後もBABYMETALに関するコンテンツは続けていきます。ただ、リアクション動画はもう作りません。

この決断を理解していただけたら嬉しいです。そして、このことで悲しい思いをさせてしまった方がいたら、ごめんなさい。

またね 🤘🏼

NOTICE: I won't be making reaction videos anymore.

There are some factors that add up to my decision that I'm very uncomfortable with, like the unexpected amount of perverted people and their disgusting sexual comments about me, that I constantly have to delete. Now there are men screenshotting my face, printing it, cumming on it and posting it online.

I've also had people dissecting and scrutinizing my every word or move online, because "You represent the fandom."

I don't want this kind of attention. I can't even imagine how famous people deal with so much of this.

Showing my face on this channel brought me a lot of sweet moments among fans (like people recognizing me when I attend shows and wanting to interact), but I'm afraid that the impact of the negative response is starting to surpass the good.

I hope you understand, and I'm sorry if I make someone sad because of this.

See you 🤘🏼

EDIT: Just to clarify, I will still make BABYMETAL content. I'm just not gonna make more reactions.

So I just realized there's a feature in the Community section where anyone can write messages on people's channels (?) 🤔

I don't know how long it's been a thing but I think that's pretty cool. I'd love to engage with you guys more, even though I suck at socializing and being consistent, as you've probably noticed 😂

I feel like it would be nice to connect in the endless meantime I'm working on my videos 🤘🏼

I always hear girls talking about how Moa blew them a kiss at a show (and how they die 😆). I realized that I've never heard it coming from a guy. Are there any guys out there who have been blessed? Or does she only do this with fangirls? 🔎

Do you prefer the old or new BABYMETAL logo?

2 days and this video is doing really bad 😅
It's so frustrating when you work on something really hard and having it go unnoticed because of external factors (it feels like school lol). My karma with BABYMETAL always comes down to bad timing, and this is yet another example 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, here's the video for those who haven't seen it:

After 7 years... This is it. It feels like 2018 all over again, except that this time the news wasn't dropped on my birthday.

If you know me, you know I'm a major Yui fan. She's been my favorite member– No, favorite girl! Ever since I discovered BABYMETAL, and I never stopped being vocal about it. I moved on and continued to support Su, Moa and Momo after she was gone. I made peace with the fact that she'd be out of sight for many years to come.

Not a day went by in which I didn't wish her good luck and absolute happiness in whatever she'd choose to do... Even if it meant leaving the spotlight for good. That fear all of us Yui fans felt has finally become a reality (again).

So much speculation arose with her farewell and even more emerged from the unsettling silence, to the point of becoming almost unbearable. I firmly believe things could've been handled differently to avoid so much pain for the fans, Su and Moa, and especially Yui (regarding both her absence-departure from BABYMETAL and the upcoming years of silence).

Deep down, I was still holding on to the hope that one day she would "return to meet us all as Yui Mizuno", as she said in her departure letter. I cheered her on as she was "recovering and preparing for her new activities", as stated at that Amuse shareholders meeting. I cheered even more when Su asked us to "support her in her new dream".

It really sounded like she would eventually come back as a public figure, and I took these words as a gospel. Because, yes, I SO wanted to see her shining once again. I dreamed of seeing how the "Yui Mizuno legacy" would look like outside of YUIMETAL. Nothing about the past official statements gave me a hint that this would be her final choice... None, except one: I supported her in spirit while she was "struggling with her identity", as she wrote in her message for the Sakura Gakuin 10th Anniversary book.

If things didn't unfold differently, it's very likely because those "numerous discussions with her" happened as she was trying to come to terms with who she is. And my God, that's the most difficult journey any of us could possibly embark on. Her courage and perseverance are some of the many things I admire about her. It takes guts to carry on as a star, but so is walking away and putting yourself first.

For the past two years I've been saying that 2025 would be Yui's year. Because in numerology, her "year of life-changing events" turned out to be 2025 (witches and wizards will get it). As a fan, leaving the entertainment industry was certainly my least favorite out of all the possibilities. But as the friend I wish I could be to her, I would give her the biggest hug and hype her up in this life-changing decision.

I'm crying as I'm writing this. It hurts and it's freeing. It 𝙞𝙨 possible to move on and honor the past simultaneously. I will respect her decision, as I always have, and celebrate her legacy with all my might (yes, that includes videos).

7 years of YUIMETAL and 7 years of silence. Now the Yui Mizuno chapter finally begins: an era filled with days and nights out with friends, peach iced tea, home cooking, family time, PJs... And lots and lots of tomatoes, of course 🍅

Yui, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me, without even knowing I exist. It's crazy how much impact an artist can have on you, especially when you resonate with their character so much. I think of you as the type of friend I aspire to be and to find.

I salute you with a kitsune sign and Sakura Gakuin flag, girly ❤️‍🩹
