TOKYO — TV personality Yukina Kinoshita, 23, announced on April 25 that she is to close her popular blog. Kinoshita had been blogging about everyday life since Jan 21 this year on a web page titled “Cinderella Story.”

It is believed that Kinoshita plans to continue to update a weblog that is accessible only to paying fan club members. In a blog post titled “To Everyone,” Kinoshita announced the end of her public blog and uploaded two pictures of herself alongside her comedian husband Toshifumi Fujimoto, 40, half of comedy duo Fujiwara, to whom she was married in February of this year.

In response to fan comments asking her to continue, she replied, “I always planned to blog for a limited period and I have written with that in mind, so I will be quitting.” When another commenter accused her of failing to satisfy her fans, she replied, “I’m sorry and I’m very grateful to my fans.”

She left her readers with the message, “Being nice is the most important thing. Take care not to hurt anyone, even if you think you are not doing so.
