To briefly summarize, Nickelodeon Japan underwent a shutdown in 2009. This topic was particularly popular around summer 2016.
Around July 2016, a video began to circulate Lost Media Wiki chat rooms, a 5 and a half minute version of which was uploaded to YouTube, preserved by someone else before its takedown, and can now be seen here, known as the "Bull and Red" shutdown or as known on the wiki, the Third shutdown.
The lost part begins here: this is a shortened cut that I made so I could upload the video to YouTube on an alt account. The original cut ran upwards of ten to fifteen minutes and is not in my possession anymore and doesn't seem to be widely circulated online. So, I screwed up and created lost media. Anyway, two points. 1: I found the video through a Lost Media Wiki chat room, the one that was right there on the wiki's home page at the time. Someone else is likely to have downloaded the original cut. 2: Through all of this I have come to the conclusion that it's definitely real.
Included on the longer version is "Those Scurvy Rascals" and Bull and Red. Bull and Red was itself considered lost media until recent years, even though it was right here in the longer version. Actually, this footage spurred on the search for Bull and Red. Simply put, given this along with Japanese blogs contemporaneously describing a shutdown exactly like it make me sure that the video was not edited (well, besides by me), I have to conclude that the footage is real.
Here is the given list of final shows on the channel from this video's description:
Aaah! Real Monsters!
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Those Scurvy Rascals
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Those Scurvy Rascals
Bull and Red
Stuff the longer version definitely includes: Those Scurvy Rascals and Bull and Red, some small interstitial between shorts
Stuff the longer version probably includes, based on my memory: everything aired after MLAATR. I think the recording given may have began in the last seconds of that show, ran through the credits then the shorts.
Conclusion:
Third shutdown video -- consider it real
Third shutdown video -- consider it to be a cut from a longer video. Most likely 10-15~ minutes long
And for the record I feel as though the first shutdown video with SpongeBob is most likely real footage as well, but I'm not so connected to that video so I won't say anything definitive (

)Quick edit(s)
Q: Why does the screenshot say that the video is a hoax?
A: I edited it that way after some nobody on Twitter convinced me that they made it and can't edit it since it was taken down. Obviously I changed my view
Q: Can multiple shutdown videos be real?
A: Yes, different cable services will have different shutdown footage and one channel can have multiple videos depicting its end on broadcast
