The stage was nonstop with 11 songs! And the members cried at the surprise announcement of the 7th year live! Report from the Chikyuu-rakura of "i☆Ris 5th Live Tour 2019~FEVER

Popular voice-over unit "i☆Ris" held the final performance of their fifth live tour "i☆Ris 5th Live Tour 2019~FEVER~" at Nakano Sunplaza on June 1, 2019.

This tour was a very well-crafted stage, with the members themselves deeply involved in the composition of the tour, as well as changing the setlist for each venue. The finale of the tour was filled with enthusiasm and power, and could be described as the culmination of the tour.

The enthusiasm of the six members could be felt from the very beginning of the show. The i☆Ris members appeared on the gorgeous stage, which was designed to look like the streets of Las M. Bisons with shining neon signs. They appeared on stage wearing bunny ears, and tapes were suddenly shot from the stage to the audience! The first song "Arien Boku Fever" started with a climax-like performance from the beginning.

As the mirror ball twinkled in the background, the audience naturally clapped their hands to the rhythm of the disco sound. As the title suggests, the curtain rose on the Chikyubaku performance.

The next song was "Happy New World☆," another live favorite! Many fans were surprised to hear this as the second song! Many fans must have been surprised to hear this as the second song!

Here, Miyu Kubota called out to the audience, "Let's have fun in the final days of the concert! and "DIVE TO LIVE" followed with "Don't you love i☆Ris? and Yu Serizawa stirred up the floor.

The six members sang with a lot of composure and sometimes included fakes in their songs. The six sang with a lot of confidence and skill that they have built up over the years. Personally, I found Yuki Wakai's performance of "DIVE TO LIVE," in which she sang and jumped around with full of energy, to be the most emo and cute.



The stage was breathless with 11 songs in a row!

After running nonstop from the opening of the show, the six members took a break to talk on stage.

Saki Yamakita confessed that she was almost heartbroken in the backstage before the show started. We've worked that hard on this tour, so I want to do my best like the 120% Toguro brothers! Serizawa commented, "I have been nervous since the first tour.

The girls, who have been together for seven years this year and have been together for a good number of shows, were ready to take on the challenge of this tour. The live performance was to be a nonstop 11-song show.

The live performance was a powerful reminder of the six members' message to convey their feelings through their on-stage performance.

The first song was "§Rainbow," a song that has been sung for many years. The bouncing beat perfectly matched the atmosphere of the stage and their costumes. I am sure I was not the only one who fainted in agony when Serizawa gave a throwaway kiss between songs!

After each song, a slot machine image appeared on the screen on the stage. After each song, a slot machine image appeared on the screen on the stage, where the next performer was announced.

The first picture that came up was Serizawa's mark. The first picture that matched was Serizawa's mark, and he performed his solo song "I love you even on the worst day. was performed. Everyone fell in love with the sweet and sour love song with the words, "Please accept my love from Seriko.

Next it was Ms. Kubota's turn. Come on, make some noise, doggies! Let's make some noise, doggies! The "Lovely time" song was performed with the call of "Let's make a fuss, doggies! The floor was enveloped in a whirlpool of enthusiasm.



This tour will not only feature recent songs, but also nostalgic and rare songs as well. So this time, they performed "Ojamajo Carnival! which was released shortly after her debut and includes the song "Ojamajo Carnival! Akaneya also performed "WHAT YOU ARE" released under the name "POLKA DOTS," a unit with Yuki Takao, who retired in 2017. This is a song rarely heard at live performances, so the set list must have been very exciting for the fans.

Yamakita aka "Saki-sama" sang "Heart Crash! and Azuki Shibuya sang "DETERMINE" while wowing the audience with her "cool" comments even from a male point of view. Ms. Wakai sang "My bright...", a song she sang when she hit a wall, and each member showed their individuality in their solo songs.

The six members also performed a sexy performance using chairs to a jazzy sound. From there, they moved into "Baby.... from which the audience was treated to a performance of "Baby...," showing off their adult appeal to the fullest.

Since this was the final show of the tour, the audience was treated to 11 songs in a row, including solos, unit songs, and songs by all the members. Surprisingly, despite the hard setlist, which included no ballads, the audience was never bored at all, and in fact, the roller-coaster stage performance made them feel "Is it over already? The stage was a roller coaster ride that made the audience feel "Is it over already?

It was a dream come true for the culmination of the tour.



The encore was full of surprises! Even the members were in tears at the end. ......

The second half of the show began. Here, they performed "Endless Notes," the only medium number on stage this time. The slow sound and dramatic choreography, which could be described as theatrical, were a complete turnaround from the intensity of the previous performances, and the audience was captivated. It was a song that showed the breadth of their range as artists.

After "Innocent Innovation," the last spurt began! The climax of I☆Ris' live is the parade of "Pripara" songs.

The excitement on the floor soared as they performed "Shining Star," "Make it!" and "Dream Parade," a series of killer tunes that never fade no matter how many times or when you hear them!

The last song of the main event, "Realize!" featured a message of "I don't want to give up on the future" in the lyrics of the song. Their passionate performance was definitely the best of the day.


After the main part of the show, the audience continued to call for "encore" and interviews with the members were shown on the screen. The question was "What does i☆Ris mean to you? The six members excited the audience with their comments such as "Oxygen" (Akaneya), "Ice" (Serizawa), and so on. The way they sang was good, but the way they talked and the comments they made were also good. ......

The live resumed with "Miracle Paradise. The members appeared not only from the stage but also from the audience. The excitement of the audience rose again as the six sang while exchanging high-fives and making eye contact with the fans. Akaneya-san, in particular, showed off her fierce dance moves here and there! It was the coolest thing I have ever seen.

During the encore, which began with a surprise performance, it was announced that i☆Ris would be in charge of the OP theme of the anime "Tejin Senpai," which would start in the summer, and that Ms. Akaneya would also appear as a voice actress.

After this happy news, the latest single "Ultimate☆MAGIC" was performed. The powerful voices of the members as well as the claps and breathless calls of the audience made the audience wonder "Where was all that power left? The powerful support of the fans was astonishing.

With only one more song to go, the audience was invited to watch a video reviewing the tour. As the audience was reminiscing over the commemorative photos taken at each venue, a slot screen appeared on the screen again. The letters in the slot were "PACIFICO YOKOHAMA"! The members had not been informed that the 7th anniversary live concert would be held at the Pacifico Yokohama National Grand Hall.

The audience was shaken with joy, while the members broke down crying in surprise. The audience was shaken with joy, and the members were so surprised that they broke down in tears.

The members were so surprised that they broke down in tears. (Shibuya) and "I want to fill the hall!" (Wakai), while Yamakita said, "If this is a marriage proposal, I'll marry you! I've always wanted to be an idol surprise like this! (Wakai) and tearful comments, while Yamakita, like the leader of the group, commented with a relaxed attitude, "If this was a marriage proposal, I'd marry you! However, they all seemed to share the common feeling that they had reached their first big goal in 2025.

Shibuya: "Through this tour, I could think that I love everyone. I hope I can give back to as many people as possible.

Kubota: "This tour was made with everyone's ideas from scratch, and I myself understood every corner of the tour, and this fun feeling has been eroding into everyone. With these amazing members, I'm going to keep going forward.

Wakai: "Sometimes i☆Ris is told, 'That live was great, wasn't it?' But I started this tour thinking that it would be meaningless if we didn't update it, and I think it turned out to be the best tour yet.

Akaneya: "It's been a lot of fun running through all this. I was surprised at how much adrenaline I was pumping. I think it must be hard for everyone to keep shouting and jumping all the time. And you guys are really good guys, ......, for keeping up with me all the way. I'm so happy and at the same time I want to raise the bar and stand here. This ambition means that i☆Ris can still go up! We will continue to sing and dance, so please come and see us live."

Serizawa: "After the Budokan, there was a time when I lost my goal, and I wanted to properly improve my rank. I think i☆Ris is amazing and I want more and more people to know about it. I want more and more people to know about i☆Ris. We are going higher and higher! We are going to be a unit that you should be happy to have promoted!

Yamakita: "After Budokan, I had not made up my mind yet, so there was a time when I was in a daze, and to be honest, there were times when I wondered if it was time to quit if we continued to perform on this scale. I still love idols, and even though there are times when I don't like i☆Ris, I really like them! I'm 28 years old, but can I still aim higher from here? Recently, I've had various retired idols see me perform and tell me I'm the star of Alaska, but I still want to dream even though I'm 30 years old! I'm going to fill the Pacifico!"

The six members, who spoke their thoughts in their own words, sang "Ready Smile! with their best smiles! They showed us that the 7th year of i☆Ris will continue to go on without stopping.
