The YouTube channel "Yonino Channel," led by Kazunari Ninomiya and featuring Yuichi Nakamaru, Ryosuke Yamada, and Fuma Kikuchi, reached 5 million subscribers on June 19. The milestone came about 5 years and 2 months after the channel's launch in April 2021, making it the first STARTO ENTERTAINMENT-related YouTube channel to do so.
Kazunari Ninomiya's "Yonino Channel" crossed 5 million subscribers on June 19, about five years and two months after its April 2021 launch. The channel, which also features Yuichi Nakamaru, Ryosuke Yamada, and Fuma Kikuchi, is the first STARTO ENTERTAINMENT-related YouTube channel to reach that subscriber count. Ninomiya left the former Johnny & Associates in 2023 and now operates under his own office, Office Nino. The channel is known for its handmade, private feel and relaxed atmosphere, a contrast to the members' TV and stage appearances.
On June 18, Ninomiya, Yamada, and Kikuchi held a live stream where they announced that Kikuchi, who had been resting for about a month due to throat issues, would officially return starting with a video posted on June 21.
