The performance was full of the members' individuality! i☆Ris 3rd Live Tour 2017 "i☆Ris 3rd Live Tour~Fan+6=∞~" Tokyo Performance Report

As the title of the event suggests, "With fans, the possibilities of i☆Ris are endless," the performance was a sweaty and exciting stage where the audience felt a strong bond with each other. The potential of the voice-over idol unit "i☆Ris" and the potential of Saki Yamakita, Yu Serizawa, Himika Akaneya, Yuki Wakai, Miyu Kubota, and Azuki Shibuya were seen in the "i☆Ris 3rd Live Tour 2017 "i☆Ris 3rd Live Tour ~Fan+6=∞~"". We will bring you a report from the Tokyo performance held on May 21 (Sun.), 2017 at Nakano Sun-plaza, where each member showed their potential.

The daytime performance, where each member's individuality shone through in solo parts.

Last November 25, 2016, i☆Ris gave their best performance at the Nippon Budokan, the stage of their dreams. i☆Ris had a strong feeling that this was not the end of the road at that concert, but I personally thought that this tour would determine whether the six members would truly make the Nippon Budokan a passing point. I personally thought that this tour was going to be the real test for the six members. Whether or not it would be a further step forward - in conclusion, they made it a passing point at the moment. It is not easy to keep surprising the audience with new surprises, but the girls are still amazing for not being afraid of change.

The Tokyo show was held with a different setlist for the daytime (part 1) and nighttime (part 2) performances (except for the Gifu show, there were two shows a day for all shows on this tour). The daytime performance featured solo performances by each of the performers!　In the first half of the show, which surprised the audience with a variety of performances, the band performed "Make it!" and "DIVE TO LIVE" to get the audience excited, followed by a solo corner in the middle of the show, where each member performed their own unique live performance. One special thing unique to the Tokyo show was the appearance of the unit "POLKA DOTS," consisting of members Himika Akaneya and Yuki Takao of "Mimime MIMI" fame. In the past, Ms. Akaneya had sung the songs of "POLKA DOTS" by herself, but on this day, Mr. Takao joined in the singing, and Ms. Akaneya said, "It is so reassuring to sing together," and their individuality as a unit was more apparent. Akaneya's boyish vocals were strong and her monotone outfit with polka dots, which is also the name of the unit, was boyishly cool.

Yu Serizawa, who made her solo debut in April, enlivened the audience by singing "Voice for YOU! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!", the second song from her mini-album "YOU&YOU", which she performed for the first time and charmed the audience with her incredibly cute voice. Her mini-album is filled with "cute" songs, and I couldn't wait to see her perform all of them on stage.

The final part of the show featured "Realize! The encore started with "Genshikyoku WONDERLAND," during which the members appeared on a swing floating in the air!　I was surprised that they changed the direction of this impressive song, which was also the first song performed at the Budokan. i☆Ris is a unit that sings, dances well, and talks interestingly, but this scene convinced me that they are a unit that will continue to provide new stimulation.
