Same Debut Anniversary, Different Fates: Nanamori Riri Announces Indefinite Hiatus as S1's Three Star Actresses Face Contrasting Situations
August 19th marks the shared debut anniversary of three popular S1 actresses — miru celebrates 8 years, Nanamori Riri marks 6 years, and Fuua Kaede reaches 5 years. But Nanamori Riri simultaneously announced she'll pause releasing new works after September 22nd, turning what should have been a celebration into a bittersweet moment.
Same day, same celebration, yet three very different moods. S1 posted on their official X (Twitter) account to celebrate the debut anniversaries of their star talents — normally a heartwarming occasion. But this August 19th, the comment section was filled with a mix of well-wishes and concern from fans.
This date marks the debut anniversary for three S1 actresses: miru, boasting over a million followers, celebrates her 8th year; Nanamori Riri (七ツ森りり), whose total SNS following has surpassed one million, marks her 6th year; and Fuua Kaede (楓ふうあ), known as the "facial genius," officially enters her 5th year. Having three stars debut on the same day and receive joint recognition from the agency isn't unusual for S1's usual practice.
However, this year's picture wasn't complete. miru hasn't posted anything on social media for two full months, a stark contrast to her usual habit of engaging with fans every debut anniversary. Even more attention-grabbing is Nanamori Riri, who recently announced her decision to go on "indefinite hiatus," stating she will stop releasing new works starting September 22nd.
That said, a hiatus doesn't mean a complete exit. Sources indicate Nanamori Riri will continue participating in activities like fan meet-and-greets, meaning she hasn't fully stepped away from the spotlight. As for miru, who remains listed under her agency, whether there will be further updates on her situation remains unclear for now.
Three stars who debuted together and were celebrated together now find themselves in vastly different circumstances this year — one still active, one silent for two months, and one announcing a pause in releases. This is perhaps the most notable detail worth remembering about this August 19th.
