History

Animated depictions of Iris from Iris the Movie: Full Energy!!.

The group was formed as a result of the Anison Vocal Audition (アニソン・ボーカルオーディション, Anison Bōkaru Ōdishon) that was held in 2012 (of the six successful candidates).[3] On November 7, 2012, the group debuted with its first single titled "Color" (on the label Avex).[1] Their third single "Rainbow" was released on August 21, 2013.[3][5]

On January 21, 2021, it was announced that Azuki Shibuya would graduate from the group on March 31.[6]

On November 7, 2022, during the "Iris 10th Anniversary Live~a Live~" concert, an anime film titled Iris the Movie: Full Energy!! was announced and premiered in Japanese theaters on May 17, 2024.[7][8]
