A few days ago, viewers who were listening (and doing their tasks) with Lofi Girl, were a bit surprised when she and her cat disappeared in the middle of an April 10 stream on YouTube. The music still kept playing, but the iconic character was nowhere to be seen. Listeners noticed that some odd clues were left in the empty room. These included a slow zoom on the blinking blue light of a window and a teaser for April 11.
The channel fulfilled its promise when the day rolled in: a new person entered a different room– a purple-themed area. It was a guy getting down to do his work, with his dog climbing on the desk to fall asleep. The stream then revealed the new name: “synthwave radio - beats to chill/game to.”
Listeners can now choose between Synthwave Boy or Lofi Girl for their background music of the day. Note that you don’t need to go to a different channel. They usually stream at the same time, and you can swap between the two characters or streams for the music you would like.
