I agree. This is due to shimbun-rss-blogs-groups being defvar'ed. Adding
(luna-define-method shimbun-groups ((shimbun shimbun-rss-blogs))
(mapcar 'car shimbun-rss-blogs-group-url-regexp))
to sb-rss-blogs.el (after the 'defvar' of shimbun-rss-blogs-groups)
should fix this. Please let me know if this works for you.

I'm guessing you only tried to 'kill' the group? The verb is misleading
here; in Gnus, 'killing' only means 'unsubscribing'. You can actually
*delete* a group from the shimbun server by using 'C-u G DEL' on the
group. Alternatively, you can delete the remaining overview/marks files
manually in ~/News/shimbun/rss-blogs/FEEDNAME and restart Gnus.

The shimbun library uses w3m instead of mm-url for retrieving the feeds,
so this approach will not work.
If you have atom feeds with fully published content, you can use the
atom-hash shimbun. For atom feeds without full content, I think
implementing a atom-blogs shimbun based on the rss-blogs code should be
straightforward. I'll eventually do that, but I'm currently pretty busy.
