| RIZE PRODUCTION’s New Idol Group &WHITE to Debut July 9 – Emotional Piano Rock Meets Idol Sparkle (Popnroll) |
With a musical direction grounded in melodic and emotional piano rock, &WHITE promises a sound that’s not just catchy, but heartfelt – offering something a bit deeper than your usual bubblegum pop fare.
RIZE isn’t pulling punches on the creative side either, tapping into the same trusted creators behind FES☆TIVE and their peers to craft a stage-ready experience that blends impactful choreography, soulful lyrics, and fresh performance energy.
🌸 What’s the Meaning Behind “&WHITE”?
The name “&WHITE” isn’t just for show. According to the team, “WHITE” represents a blank canvas, untainted and full of possibility. The “&” is the key – symbolising how meeting you, the fan, will bring new colours to their story. In other words, this group is all about growing together, painting memories and dreams in whatever hues life throws their way. It’s ambitious, yes – but charmingly heartfelt.
💫 Meet the Members of &WHITE
A fresh group means fresh faces! Here’s a quick peek at the seven who’ll be carrying the flag for this new generation of live idols.

🌟 Anzu Nagasaki (永咲 杏) – Yellow担当
Nicknamed “An-chan”, born 16 Sept, from Chiba. She’s all about cafés, baking, and keeping things neat. Her dream? To move hearts with performance and turn blank white into every colour imaginable.

💙 Reona Miyata (宮田 れおな) – Blue担当
Nickname: Miyata, born Christmas Day, from Hokkaido. Gamer, sketcher, and a believer in idol magic after being saved by it herself.
“When I was down, idols pulled me through – now I want to be that person for someone else.”
💜 Mio Tamura (田村 みお) – Purple担当
Nickname: Miochi, born 26 Feb, from Tokyo. Loves idols, driving, and naps. Now it’s her turn to give others the same spark that once inspired her.
“From fan to performer – I’m bringing all my energy to the stage to make you smile!”
💗 Cocoa Amano (天野 心愛) – Pink担当
Nickname: Cocotan, born 19 Feb, from Saitama. Obsessed with strawberries and laughter, she’s got a photographic memory for places and a big heart.

🧡 Rinka Ichinose (一ノ瀬 琳加) – Orange担当
Nickname: Rinka, born 4 Aug, from Chiba. Idol nerd, makeup enthusiast, and a pro at wack dance. She edits videos too!

💚 Miina Hino (緋野 みいな) – Green担当
Nickname: Miichan, born 29 June, from Fukushima. Gamer girl who loves horror films, casinos, and stuffed toys. Has an uncanny ability to find lost stuff (and eat fried chicken cleanly).

From performance to production, RIZE is putting its best foot forward to make this debut count.
