What happened to the Japanese blog Pink Tentacle?

Will Pink Tentacle ever come back?

There's a great blog called Pink Tentacle which covered all sorts of wonderful stuff from Japan. It was running for quite a while. It hasn't been updated for over a year now, since after the Tohoku earthquake. Does anyone know what happened to the author? Is there a chance of it coming back, or has it gone the way of PingMag?

Also, fwiw, their domain WHOIS states that the record was last updated Dec. 27th 2011, but that might not mean much/might just be automated.

A lot of people have been asking this in the comments on their last posting. Checking social media logins via http://checkusernames.com/?username=pinktentacle , this username was created this year - http://www.twitch.tv/pinktentacle/videos . Could it be them?
