Idol Sings in a School Swimsuit in the Middle of the Snow
Idol Anaru Rairai returned to the spotlight after a performance that quickly went viral on social media. A member of the group Planck Stars, she drew attention by performing wearing only a school swimsuit during an event held in the snow, which caused major controversy.
Her group, Planck Stars, is already known for outrageous actions and has accumulated numerous controversies throughout its career. The group built its reputation on unpredictable behavior, ranging from unusual fan interactions to performances that challenge expectations.
After ending its activities in 2024, the group surprised fans by announcing its return, and it was during this new phase that Anaru Rairai became the center of yet another controversy.
During an event held at the famous Sapporo Snow Festival, Anaru Rairai decided to perform wearing only a school swimsuit, despite the extremely low temperatures.
Photos and videos of the moment quickly spread online, gathering millions of views and sparking heated debate. While some fans praised her dedication and boldness, others expressed concern about her health and questioned whether the decision was truly her own.
The backlash became so intense that the agency managing the group had to release an official statement. According to the announcement, Anaru Rairai chose to perform that way of her own free will. Even so, the company apologized for causing misunderstandings and promised to prevent similar situations in the future.
However, the controversy continued when later promotional materials once again highlighted the idol performing in the snow, raising doubts about the sincerity of the apology.
But did it end there? Not at all. The group itself announced that it would auction the swimsuit Anaru Rairai wore during the controversial performance. However, to the disappointment of some fans, they confirmed that the swimsuit had been washed.
Past incidents involving Anaru Rairai also resurfaced after a social media user recalled another controversial situation. According to reports, during a fan interaction, a follower was allegedly encouraged to drink detergent as part of a joke. Although the agency claimed that many details were exaggerated, it did not directly deny that the incident happened, which further fueled the controversy.
Old videos of the moment remain available online and are frequently shared whenever Anaru Rairai’s name returns to trending topics. The case has also reignited discussions about the limits between entertainment and exploitation within idol culture, especially among underground groups that use shock value as a marketing strategy.
