Alice left the unit in June 2014 to concentrate on studying, with Karen joining in November of the same year. As reported, Karen also graduated from the unit after the last show of the live concert tour “ClariS AUTUMN TOUR 2024 ～Via Fortuna～” held at Zepp Namba in Osaka on November 10, 2024.On January 25, 2025, the unit joined Lisani! LIVE 2025, a large-scale anime song event that was first held in 2010 and celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, making an announcement that they would be performing as a three-member unit with Ellie and Anna as new members. At the same time, the unit’s official website unveiled a new artist illustration featuring the three — Clara, Ellie, and Anna —, newly drawn by Tantan.
