Nokishita Twitter No Longer Exists

**FozzFoster** · 12-31-2021, 05:45 PM

I hope there is only a glitch and the account comes back online.
But Nokishita Twitter (@nokishita_c) account states it no longer exists...

For those who don't know, Nokishita is a very reliable source for Pentax rumours and new gear on the horizon.

Fingers crossed the account comes back!

The News&Rumors section may have to look for a whole new source of material.

I saw that too. It was deleted around midnight JST.

over, at fred miranda, it's discussed that the twitter account posted a message in the past weeks that they could be closing by end of December.

Nokishita would be closing? Or just the twitter account?

One of those would obviously be more dire than the other

To our Japanese members: do we know what underlies the Twitter account??

The blog stopped in 2019 but the last page is still hiding online https://www.nokishita-camera.com/p/about.html Otherwise the site seems to have changed in just another click harvester to Amazon. There is some speculation on a camera company pushing at them. I find that strange. Companies used Nokishita to leak stuff to create some hype about launches.

The original Nokishita blog was closed at around October 2019 as D1N0 writes and Nokishita has been tweet-only since then. Closure of Nokishita twitter should mean the end of Nokishita, at least for now.

Nokishita has been indicating for a month or so that it might shut down its twitter in December 2021, so this is no real surprise. See e.g. Digital Camera Life's report on this.

As to why, I have no idea.
