ZIZAI is ending its liver agency i-LIVE on September 30, 2026, after announcing the closure on the agency's official X account. IRIAM itself continues to run events, most recently an anniversary collaboration with Home Economics Dragon.
IRIAM is a live communication app operated by IRIAM Inc., a subsidiary of DeNA. It launched in October 2018 and has 6.4 million downloads. The app's parent company ZIZAI also ran i-LIVE, a character-focused liver agency established in 2019 to support affiliated livers.
On September 30, 2026, ZIZAI will end i-LIVE operations. The closure was announced on the agency's official X account. ZIZAI said the agency had fulfilled a certain role and thanked its livers and supporters. Future activities will differ for each liver. The agency was built around IRIAM's early liver community, and its closing leaves post-closure decisions to individual livers.
Earlier, from August 18 to August 24, 2026, IRIAM held a collaboration event with the design series Home Economics Dragon, which marks its 25th anniversary in 2026. The event, named IRIAM x Home Economics Dragon, required participants to have streaming experience on IRIAM. Users earned event points to determine rankings, with prizes including the Black Cloth Armor (Apron) and Black Wing Carry Bag (Napsack). Additional rewards included streaming backgrounds and gifts for reaching point thresholds. A separate cooking class contest ran on X from August 11 to August 24, where users posted photos of their own cooked dishes with the hashtag IRIAM Cooking Class Contest; the IRIAM operations team selected five winners per category, totaling 15, who receive a real Home Economics Dragon apron and a premium badge.
