IRIAM is set to appear at Animate Girls Festival 2026 on November 7 and 8 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City, with 30 livers from a July 2026 campaign shown in wall decorations and videos. The app's operator ZIZAI ended its i-LIVE liver agency on September 30, 2026.
IRIAM is a V-live communication app run by IRIAM Inc., a subsidiary of DeNA. The app launched in October 2018 and has accumulated 6.4 million downloads. Its operator ZIZAI ended the character-focused liver agency i-LIVE on September 30, 2026. The agency, established in 2019, said it had fulfilled a certain role, and future activities will differ for each liver.
In the weeks after the closure, IRIAM pushed its livers into outside formats. A terrestrial radio program, "IRIAM presents Enter a Stream Title!", began airing on Radio Kansai on October 4, 2026, in a 23:15 to 23:30 slot, with a 13-episode run planned for October through December 2026. Winning livers from an in-app audition appear as main personalities from October 11, with Watanabe Flower Musa as assistant.
The next push is physical. IRIAM will host a booth at Animate Girls Festival 2026 on November 7 and 8 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City. Thirty livers chosen through the July 2026 campaign "Otome Kokoro wo Kusuguru!? IRIAM Tokimeki Senshuken" appear through wall decorations and videos, eight of them with newly drawn illustrations. Visitors can receive original-packaged sweets and newly drawn postcards, and a message board will be set up.
Earlier, the app ran a collaboration with the design series Home Economics Dragon from August 18 to 24, 2026, with event points and rankings, plus a separate cooking class contest on X from August 11 to 24. Participants needed streaming experience on IRIAM.

IRIAM Inc., a subsidiary of DeNA, launched a terrestrial radio program tied to its V-live communication app IRIAM. "IRIAM presents Enter a Stream Title!" began airing on Radio Kansai on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in a 23:15 to 23:30 slot. The run is set for 13 episodes, planned for October through December 2026. From Sunday, October 11, winning livers from the in-app event "IRIAM Ground-Wave Radio Program Personality Audition" appear as main personalities. The show takes its name from the "Enter a stream title" prompt that appears when a user starts a stream on IRIAM. Each appearing liver plans the title for their own episode and builds the program with IRIAM operations staff and radio production staff. The format covers their regular streaming work plus segments built around each liver's personality. Watanabe Flower Musa is the assistant. Listeners outside the Kansai region can hear it through radiko's area-free function, and episodes are distributed on podcast apps after broadcast.
