The story
Talent Suzu Yamanouchi (25) posted on her X (formerly Twitter) account on the night of the 21st, writing, “My head’s a mess so I was going to ban myself from Twitter today, but I’m back on it again!!!!” — hinting that she intends to quit using X. Right after that, she posted “I’m not looking anymore!! Bye-bye!”, and once a sports newspaper reported on it, it became a topic on 5ch’s Geinou Sports Breaking News+ board too. On the thread, many responses assumed she’d be back, with comments like “She’ll be back before the year’s out” and “She should’ve just deleted the account instead of announcing it,” and users brought up examples of celebrities who made similar declarations before quickly returning.

What people said
Apparently it's standard to leave the account up without posting, just as a measure against impersonators.
Sounds like a "nicotine cat" (slang for someone who swears off smoking and immediately relapses)
Just look at me instead
and more and more racy stuff keeps popping up lol
Anyone know?
If she'd said "I won't post anymore," that'd make sense as a notice to her fans, but "I won't look anymore" doesn't really add up.
Total waste of time.
The place has just turned into a den of annoying idiots.
I also hate the brainwashing algorithm, so I only check it once in a while.
If you're running a hobby account and only follow one specific niche, that's all that'll show up in your feed anyway.

Feels like I know her.
If this were the Heisei era, she's got the vibe of a variety talent who'd end up hosting something like "Uta no Dai Jiten" (a classic song countdown show).
Since you're anonymous, you get away with saying anything.
As a celebrity, don't you ever feel like saying "It's me!" and putting your name on it?
And her job's in entertainment, so it's basically mission impossible anyway.
Given who follows her, ditching X is zero loss
That place has the worst manners of any SNS and the oldest user base to boot
X is just mutual insults and people venting
A dumping ground for morons who only want to broadcast their own opinions and have zero interest in listening to anyone else
Insults aside, venting without expecting a reply seems fine though?
I mean, it's just a tweet
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
It’s hardly unusual for celebrities to publicly “declare” they’re taking a break from X (formerly Twitter), and the thread even brought up the old anecdote of Shintaro Katsu announcing at a press conference that he’d quit smoking, only to light up a cigarette right there — reinforcing the rule of thumb that “the more loudly someone declares it, the sooner they come back.” The real point of debate was why she’d bother announcing it publicly at all instead of just quietly deleting the account if she truly wanted to quit. Some read it as an implicit notice to her fans, while others argued that realistically giving up X altogether is tough when your job is in entertainment. Yamanouchi’s post never specifies whether “not looking anymore” means she’ll stop posting or stop browsing, so there’s no way to tell from the text alone just how far she intends to go.
