Yumepirika to Livestream Nightly Through 2026 After Fan Messaging Incident

Japanese idol Yumepirika apologized after acknowledging that she had privately communicated with a fan, contrary to her agency’s rules. She addressed the matter in a video posted on X on October 24, after screenshots of alleged messages circulated. The next day, Aisunattsu’s management confirmed that some of the claims were accurate and said members were not allowed to interact privately with fans.

The agency gave Yumepirika the choice of leaving the company or permanently ending contact with the fan. She chose to remain with the group and said she had ended communication and removed the person’s contact details. As a measure intended to restore fans’ confidence, the agency ordered her to livestream each night through the end of 2026; the broadcasts began on October 25.

The agency also said it may take legal action against the person who shared the private messages, citing the privacy rights of those involved. It noted that some leaked LINE exchanges were work-related conversations between Yumepirika and the company’s president, rather than messages with a fan. Yumepirika joined Aisunattsu in 2025. The five-member group debuted in June 2023.
