The group has also performed themes for the anime series Wise Man's Grandchild, Magical Girl Site, Magical Sempai, and Twin Star Exorcists.

## History

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). On November 7, 2012, the group debuted with its first single titled "Color" (on the label Avex). Their third single "Rainbow" was released on August 21, 2013.
On January 21, 2021, it was announced that Azuki Shibuya would graduate from the group on March 31.
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.
