The music video for "Nanmo Nee ~Residents' Grand Chorus ver.~" passed 10 million views on YouTube on October 8, according to the anime's official X account, which posted the milestone with a message of thanks. The video was released on September 25 to mark the broadcast of the final episode of the TV anime Yani Neko, putting the run at just under two weeks. The track is a special version of the anime's opening theme, sung by the main cast billed as the Yani Neko All Stars, including Yuko Natsuyoshi as Yani Neko and Toru Inada as the Landlord, with interjections and lines tied to the characters they played. At the time of writing the video has drawn more than 10,000 comments, among them jokes about aiming next for 33.01 million views. The official X account has also posted comment videos from cast members filmed right after recording, including Yuko Natsuyoshi on October 6 and Misato Matsuoka as Yaku Neko on October 7.
The video is the second Yani Neko upload to clear the 10 million mark in under a month. The original "Nanmo Nee" music video, sung by Wasureranneyo, crossed 10 million views at the end of September and has since passed 12 million, so the cast version has closed most of that gap in roughly two weeks rather than the longer run the first video had.
The chorus version is built around the Yani Neko All Stars, the billing for the show's main voice cast, and leans on the performers' individual singing styles plus spoken interjections and lines that echo the characters they voiced. That structure has pulled in comment-section comparisons to charity singles and posts about daily listening, alongside lyric jokes about the next target being 33.01 million views. The rollout ran on the official X account, which confirmed the milestone on October 8 with a thank-you, and which has been posting short comment videos recorded by cast members immediately after their sessions, starting with Yuko Natsuyoshi and then Misato Matsuoka.
