Voice Actor Idol Unit i☆Ris Cancels Live Photo Time After Inappropriate Posts, Considers Legal Action

The official website of the popular voice actor idol unit i☆Ris was updated, announcing that posts using photos taken by fans during permitted live photo time had been found to contain content that violated moral standards.

In response, the group said it is considering strict action, including legal measures, and announced that the photo time currently included in its ongoing tour, i☆Ris 11th Live Tour 2026, will be canceled for future performances.

The official website stated, “We have confirmed acts on social media in which photos taken by fans during the permitted live photo time were reused and posted together with content that violates moral standards.”

It continued, “Even when photography is permitted, use in combination with morally inappropriate or insulting expressions is not allowed under any circumstances. Such acts seriously infringe upon the artists’ personal rights and portrait rights, and we cannot tolerate them. We are requesting the immediate deletion of the posts in question and will consider strict action, including legal measures, depending on the situation.”

The site also announced, “Regarding the photo time currently set during the ongoing tour, we deeply regret to inform you that it will be canceled for upcoming performances.”

The statement concluded by asking for understanding from those planning to attend, while also thanking fans for their continued support of i☆Ris.

i☆Ris debuted in 2012 as both a voice actor and idol unit. Its current members are Saki Yamakita, Himika Akaneya, Yu Serizawa, Yuki Wakai, and Miyu Kubota. The group has performed many anime theme songs and became a popular voice actor unit, including holding a solo concert at Nippon Budokan in 2016.
