Gradually, her smile returned. The group then launched into the next section with “Koi no Yasashi,” the lead song from their major debut album, “Shiro Ja Irarenai.” All 12 members lined up at the front of the stage and sang “I’m No Longer White,” before launching into “Omae mo (Heart)” with an exciting amusement park-like backdrop. The venue’s excitement rose even further with the classic “Ore mo!” call. Next, Teramoto Rie hyped up the intro, saying, “Everyone, you still haven’t gotten enough dancing, right? Let’s jump around a lot!” Then, they moved on to “Beautiho.” This captivating number, with the clapping building to the chorus and the members’ high-pitched vocals, showcased the members’ high-pitched vocals. During the chorus, the members repeatedly encouraged the fans to jump and perform. The second half was particularly impressive, with the progression from a cappella unison of all 12 members to the final chorus. It’s a staple song for live performances, with the formation of all 12 members also drawing attention. Next, Tachibana led the crowd in the intro, eliciting cheers as they moved on to “Yume Fanfare.” One of the highlights of this song is the synchronized choreography of all 12 members. Beginning with “Koi no Arrow,” this block, which mixed old and new songs, ended with particularly loud cheers and applause from the audience.

By interacting with the 11 residents, Tachibana once again becomes aware of the presence of “love” all around her, and her thoughts wander as she looks up at the starry sky. Then, Nagao begins singing the new song, “Love’s Country and the Dance of the Stars.” As this was the first time the new song was performed, and the lingering echoes of Love’s Story were still there, the sight of the fans intently watching the members sing and listening intently to the song was very impressive. “Love’s Country and the Dance of the Stars,” the fourth-anniversary song, exudes an atmosphere reminiscent of a grand musical ending, and is a song that could be said to be a new frontier for the lovely Ivory.

The vision on the stage displayed various images that conveyed the four-year history of the lovely Ivory group, from 2021 to the present day. When they debuted in 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic was still in full swing. The sight of the members diligently practicing while wearing masks was very striking. The digest movie of their four years concluded with a message to fans, saying, “We will continue to run so that we can repay you. I hope we can make more wonderful promises in our fifth year,” and the group was met with warm applause, before the members, dressed in gray-based outfits, appeared on stage again. As the alarm clock rang, the second half of the concert began with Fukuda Hinata’s familiar greeting of “Good morning,” followed by “Good morning on Friday.” The excitement built with standard calls of “OK!” and “Wait a minute,” and Nagao introduced the song with, “Kareai-chan’s four years old now! And from now on… I won’t tolerate any changes in my favorite idol,” before moving on to “I Won’t Allow Any Changes in My Favorite Idol!” With soap bubbles once again playing, the final lyrics of the song conveyed HoneyWorks’ powerful determination as idols: “We’re idols with more love than anyone else! Aiming to be the best!” They then performed the explosive live hit “#ChozetsuKawaii.” The members’ shouted
encouragement was met with a full-throttle “ChozetsuKawaii Kareai” call from the fans, who responded with a full-throttle “ChozetsuKawaii Kareai” call. They then moved on to the popular song “Fan Service.” True to the title, the members performed while giving their own fan service. The unity and euphoria created by the interjections, clapping, and the final “L.O.V.E.” have become a familiar sight at live shows. This first block of the second half featured a setlist packed with popular songs that are synonymous with HoneyWorks. In particular, the members’ raised fists during the chorus of “Fan Service” conveyed a sense of thoroughly enjoying each moment of their idol lives, and their expressions brimming with confidence.

Tachibana reflected on their first performance together as a group of 12, saying it was fresh and fun, and Nagao promised to take on even more challenges in their fifth year. Yuuka Nishihara also delivered a speech on behalf of the four new members, marking a year since their debut. Reflecting on the intense past year, she expressed her gratitude to the fans and staff, and her respect for the senior members who have led the group to this point. Following Nishihara’s speech, Nagao added, “The 12 of us are proud to be idols, and we will continue to pursue our dreams. Please keep an eye on the lovely Ivory in its fifth year,” before moving on to “I’m Glad to Be an Idol.” The 12 members lined up in a row, each taking a step forward and singing carefully, performing a performance that seemed to declare their feelings as idols. They then moved on to “Unyielding Idol” and “Dear Rival.” These two songs, often performed back-to-back at live shows, fully showcase the emotional side of the lovely Ivory idols. Particularly moving during the performance that day were the interplay of the two melodies in the chorus of “Unyielding Idol,” and the way they expressed and embodied the image of confronting a rival through song and dance in “Dear Rival.” It was a block that conveyed the lovely Ivory’s conviction and pride as an idol.

I love you all,” and then they moved on to “Tokyo. Datte Honki.” The tense atmosphere that had been building up until just before the performance seemed to be released from the audience. However, the fans’ cheers and calls only grew more powerful. Next, they performed “Sore wa Sukitte Koto” (That I Love You) from their first major single. Lyrics like “Because there is an end, the present is beautiful” and “May your life shine with all your might” rang out beautifully, giving the impression that the concert was nearing its final stage. Tsuchiya Reimi delivered the final MC performance. “We have always and will continue to sing with the utmost determination and resolve. We will deliver the best performance that will capture and move your heart. Let our full-hearted feelings be engraved in your mind until the very last moment,” she passionately proclaimed, before moving on to the final song, “Saigo no Speech.” This song was first performed at the Yokohama performance at the finale of their national tour in May of this year, but it has already become a live favorite that moves many fans. The fans responded with full-hearted calls to the members’ performance, as if they were squeezing out their final strength. It truly felt like a soulful clash between the lovely Ivory and their fans. This song marked the end of the main part of the concert. Before the audience could even bask in the afterglow of the main performance, a huge “Kareai” call erupted, and in response to a rousing encore, the members, clad in T-shirts and skirts, returned to the stage. The encore began with “Shojo-tachi to Ivory,” a song that could be said to be the origin of the 12-member group, followed by “Teammate,” which evoked the bond between the members and their fans. Many fans were surely touched by the final scene, where all 12 members lined up and held hands. After many twists and turns, the lovely Ivory has finally embarked on its fifth year. It was a performance that testified to the trajectory of each of these 12 members.

They included the release of their second major single, “Kaenai,” on Wednesday, January 14th of next year; the digital release of their
fourth-anniversary song, “Ai no Kuni to Hoshi no Dance,” which they debuted today; and the title of their nationwide live concert, starting on Saturday, October 19th, has been decided as “Karenai,” a nationwide concert commemorating the release of their second single. After taking photos and filming TikToks with fans, the final song of the encore, “Itsudatte Tatateru,” began. Teramoto encouraged fans to “fight together in our fifth year,” before seguing into “Itsudatte Tatateru.” As the final lyrics, “Take flight, you’re the main character,” echoed throughout the venue, the 4th anniversary live concert came to a close amid thunderous applause and cheers.

The setlist was a culmination of Karana Ivory’s past and future, including covers of HoneyWorks’ signature songs from their early days, original songs from after their major debut, popular hits from live shows both old and new, and new songs being performed for the first time. By incorporating acting into the setlist, the concert felt even more immersive, showcasing new possibilities for Karana Ivory. With 12 members, the leader or center position tends to get the most attention, but for this live performance, a different member was in charge of hyping the crowd, speaking, and introducing each song. This not only demonstrated that all members are the main players of the lovely Ivory, but also allowed the group to share the joy of celebrating their fourth anniversary as a group of 12 with the fans. No matter who is the main star, their performance remains the same, appealing directly to the emotions and grabbing and shaking the heart. The calls and claps of the fans who respond with all their might to Ivory’s performance, as well as the love and passion shown to the members, are also important elements that create the lovely Ivory live shows. Now in their fifth year, the lovely Ivory members have further strengthened their individuality and deepened their bond with their fans. They smile and say they are glad to be idols, but at times they also show their cute, devilish side, and they face their rivals with their own weapons and are always fighting with their teammates. We look forward to watching the growth of these 12 members and their further leaps as a group.

The sound is produced by the creator unit HoneyWorks, whose related videos have been viewed over 2.5 billion times. In addition to official covers of HoneyWorks’ popular songs, such as “Good Morning Friday” and “Fan Service,” the group has also released numerous original songs, garnering over 30 million views on YouTube. One of her original songs, “I Won’t Forgive Your Oshi Hen Nante!”, was officially selected as one of TikTok’s “HOT SONGS IN JAPAN” (as of August 29, 2022). Over 24,000 videos featuring her music have been posted, including by famous idols and influencers. She made her major debut on January 29, 2025, with her major label debut album “Shiro Ja Irarenai” (White Can’t Be White) under Nippon Crown. She is affiliated with Twin Planet. The group’s name was chosen with the hope that the members would grow up to be idols who are kind, strong, and caring towards their friends, just like elephants, and is a
combination of “karen” (precious), which evokes the desire to protect them, and “ivory,” which is the symbol of elephants. It also represents the ivory color, which evokes the ambiguous state of mind between childhood and adulthood, during adolescence. *As of September 2025 ・Official website: https://karennaivory.jp/ ・Official ・Official YouTube: http://youtube.com/@karennaivory ・Official TikTok:
