Nijisanji's Sasaki Saku Reaches 1 Million YouTube Subscribers
Nijisanji livers Sasaki Saku reached 1 million YouTube subscribers on August 12, 2026. The milestone was confirmed during a livestream that began at 7:00 PM JST, where Sasaki watched the count cross the threshold with viewers. Upon reaching the number, she shouted "Kitaaa" and thanked fans, saying "Thank you for 1 million." The achievement came after a false alarm on August 10, when the subscriber count briefly displayed 1 million before dropping back to the 990,000 range. Sasaki, who was away visiting family at the time, posted on X that the count had not actually reached the milestone, describing the jump from 990,000 to 1.02 million as suspicious behavior. She debuted on July 6, 2018, as part of the former Nijisanji Gamers, and briefly graduated in November 2018 before returning in January 2019. In June 2026, she updated her official visual from a student appearance to an adult look, and in July she marked her eighth anniversary. During the milestone stream, she announced a new costume reveal and a cover of the song "39" by sasakure.UK and DECO*27, scheduled for 9:00 PM that day.
