“How do you actually raise your rank on IRIAM?” “What decides the Daily Rank Score?” “What is the efficient way to build up support points?” If those questions sound familiar, you are not alone.

Climbing the ranks on IRIAM comes down to two things: understanding how the Daily Rank Score works, and streaming and interacting with your listeners strategically, day after day.

This article explains how Community Rank works, what hourly diamonds are worth at each rank, how the Daily Rank Score is calculated, what support points and borders are, and how beginners can start climbing. It also covers tips for managing your rank efficiently and the benefits of joining an agency.

Once you understand how the system really works, you can keep your streaming sustainable and still choose the actions that move your rank.

What Is IRIAM’s Community Rank?

IRIAM’s Community Rank is an indicator of your streaming activity, divided into 15 levels from D up to S3. It is not a simple popularity ranking: promotion and demotion are decided by the Daily Rank Score you accumulate over a set period.

Here is each rank alongside its hourly diamonds — the equivalent of an hourly rate — and the rough monthly figure if you stream the monthly cap of 40 hours.

Rank	Hourly rate (hourly diamonds)	Rough monthly total
S3	2,300	92,000
S2	2,000	80,000
S1	1,700	68,000
A3	1,300	52,000
A2	1,000	40,000
A1	700	28,000
B3	300	12,000
B2	200	8,000
B1	100	4,000
C5	0	0
C4	0	0
C3	0	0
C2	0	0
C1	0	0
D	0	0

The monthly figures are a calculation based on hourly diamonds alone across 40 hours. Your actual earnings are also affected by support diamonds, which reflect activity such as gifts, stars and comments.

How to Raise Your Daily Rank Score on IRIAM

To build your Daily Rank Score efficiently, focus on these three things:

• Stream at the same time every day
• Share your score target
• Take part in events actively

Let’s look at each of the three in detail.

Stream at the Same Time Every Day

To raise your Daily Rank Score, streaming in the same time slot as consistently as possible matters. When your start time is fixed, dropping into your stream becomes part of your listeners’ daily rhythm.

Announce something like “live every day from 21:00” and stick to it, and you take the work of finding you off your listeners. The more people who gather at a set time, the steadier your comments and gifts become.

Consistent support points feed directly into a higher Daily Rank Score and make promotion realistic. Rather than forcing long streams, start by settling on a time slot you can actually keep to.

Share Your Score Target

To grow your Daily Rank Score, it helps to tell your listeners the specific score you are aiming for that day. A concrete number makes it obvious what you are working toward.

Say “I want to hit +4 today,” and your listeners have a shared purpose behind their comments and gifts. Reporting on your progress during the stream also creates the pleasure of getting there together.

The key is not to demand support one-sidedly, but to keep thanking the people who join in. Build an environment where you and your listeners share the same goal, and grow a relationship where you climb together.

Take Part in Events Actively

Another effective route is to take part in official events. During an event the goal is clear, which makes it easy to create an atmosphere of chasing it together with your listeners.

Share in advance which event you are entering and what placing you are after, and people will pay more attention to supporting you than usual. As gifts and comments come in, your support points rise, and so does your Daily Rank Score.

Entering alone guarantees nothing, though — the relationships you build day to day are what make it work. Deepen those in your regular streams, and treat events as an opportunity to make a run at a higher rank.

How IRIAM’s Daily Rank Score Works

To make sense of the Daily Rank Score, there are four mechanisms you need to understand:

• How the Daily Rank Score is calculated
• The “support points” behind the score
• The Daily Rank Score borders
• The safety net: Anshin Rank Score (“ansuko”)

Let’s go through all four.

How the Daily Rank Score Is Calculated

IRIAM’s Daily Rank Score is not produced by a fixed formula. It is decided each day by relative evaluation within a group of livers at a similar level. Your score depends on where your support points sit compared with the other livers in your group.

That means your final score can move even if your own support points are the same as yesterday’s, simply because of how active everyone else was. A “+4” showing during the day can become “+2” or “+1” by the midnight tally if other livers pull ahead. The score is only fixed when the day’s totals close, so what you see mid-stream is provisional.

When you are chasing a promotion, keep in mind that the support points you need are not the same every day — they shift with how your rank group performs.

The “Support Points” Behind the Score

Support points are not driven by paid gifts alone. Comments and stars, which listeners can send for free, count toward the total as well.

The number of listeners who take an action, watch time and viewer counts are also factored in, so generating a wide range of interaction is what matters. Listeners who cannot spend money can still take part through comments and stars — which can be sent as often as they like — and help carry the whole stream.

Exactly how much gifts, stars and comments each contribute has not been published. So rather than leaning on gifts, design streams that as many listeners as possible find easy to join.

The Daily Rank Score Borders

The Daily Rank Score has thresholds — “borders” — for earning +2, +4 and +6. These are not fixed values: they move according to the support points the other livers in your rank group collect that day.

On days when the livers around you gather a lot of support points, the borders rise and the same point total earns you a lower score. On days when the group as a whole is quieter, comparatively few points can clear the border.

You can check the border point totals before the tally closes, and they refresh at intervals, so the numbers shown during the day are not final. Watch the current borders as you stream, and plan around the fact that the points you need change daily.

The Safety Net: Anshin Rank Score (“Ansuko”)

IRIAM’s Anshin Rank Score — known among livers as ansuko — guarantees a Daily Rank Score of at least +2 once you reach a certain number of support points. Even if the usual border climbs, hitting the ansuko threshold locks in +2 as your floor.

It is not added on top of your normal score: if your normal score is +4 or +6, the higher figure applies. The support points required can change depending on conditions, so check the current threshold.

When your aim is to hold your rank rather than climb, leaning on ansuko is a solid way to secure the score you need consistently.

Tips for Managing Your IRIAM Rank Efficiently

Managing your rank well means looking beyond each day’s score. Keep these three points in mind:

• Check how past borders have moved
• Track seven days of scores on a calendar
• Use skip passes strategically

Here is how each one helps you climb — or hold your ground — without burning out.

Check How Past Borders Have Moved

One effective approach is to plan your streams around historical border data. The border tracker at “Namazu Tools” lets you look up past +2, +4 and +6 borders by rank, by date and by day of the week.

Comparing that data shows you which weekdays tend to have lower borders and when they tend to spike. Picking your push days with those patterns in mind is a far more efficient way to play it.

Borders still move with what livers do on the day, though, so do not decide on historical numbers alone — check the current situation too.

Track Seven Days of Scores on a Calendar

Rank management is about seeing your Daily Rank Scores across the last seven days as a whole, not just yesterday’s result. Write each day’s score on a calendar and you can see your running total and what you still need.

If you banked enough early in the window, you can ease off later and lighten your streaming load. If you are short, you can plan to stream longer on the days your listeners are most likely to show up.

Building your schedule with the whole seven days in view is the efficient way to chase a promotion or protect your current rank.

Use Skip Passes Strategically

Using skip passes according to the situation also helps keep your rank stable. On a day you use one, your Daily Rank Score is not tallied and your reset day is pushed back by one.

Save them for days when listeners are unlikely to gather or you cannot expect many support points, and you avoid dragging a low score into your total. On days you can realistically post a high score, hold the pass and bank the points instead.

You receive one skip pass a week as long as you streamed at least one day the previous week, so use them with your schedule and your seven-day total in mind.

Tips for Raising Your IRIAM Rank as a Beginner

If you are new to IRIAM and want to climb, focus on these four things:

• Make the most of the Debut and Rookie tab periods
• Prioritize streaming frequency and talking with listeners
• Just ask when you do not know a term
• Use free social media

All four are easy to put into practice from day one.

Make the Most of the Debut and Rookie Tab Periods

New livers should take full advantage of the Debut and Rookie tabs, which cover the first 30 days after your first stream. The Debut tab shows livers within two weeks of their first stream; the Rookie tab covers the first 30 days.

These tabs put you in front of listeners who are specifically looking for newcomers, which makes them a valuable window for meeting new people. Fix your streaming time and talk actively, so that first-time visitors find it easy to come back.

After 30 days you drop off the Rookie tab, so use the beginner period to grow a base of regulars — that base is what your future rank rests on.

Prioritize Streaming Frequency and Talking With Listeners

For a beginner, keeping your streaming frequency up and interacting attentively is what moves the needle. The more you stream, the more chances people have to drop in, and gradually they remember your name and what you do.

Respond to comments wherever you can, and thank people when they send a gift — treating each listener as an individual is essential. As your regulars grow, comments and stars come in more readily.

Early on, put consistent streaming and communication ahead of spending money on gear or advertising. That is what builds the foundation.

Just Ask When You Do Not Know a Term

When jargon you do not recognize comes up mid-stream, ask your listeners rather than bluffing. IRIAM has plenty of its own vocabulary — ansuko, rasuran and so on — and there is no need to know all of it from the start.

Asking “what does that mean?” gives your listeners a chance to explain, which naturally generates comments and conversation. Thank them and react to what they tell you, and they feel genuinely part of the stream.

Turning what you do not know into conversation starters is how you close the distance with your listeners — and that is the foundation of climbing.

Use Free Social Media

Beginners should also use free platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to bring listeners in from outside the app. Posting your start time and what you have planned before you go live announces you to new listeners and reminds your existing ones at the same time.

Use hashtags such as #IRIAM, and keep the post short enough that what you are streaming is clear at a glance. Posting your thoughts afterwards and your next schedule keeps you connected even when people are not in the app.

It costs nothing and adds another route for people to find you, so the earlier you make posting a habit alongside streaming, the better.

The Benefits of Joining an Agency to Climb the IRIAM Ranks

If you want to climb efficiently, agency support is another option. The main benefits are:

• Data-driven strategy for raising your rank
• A manager’s advice to settle your worries about streaming
• Agency-only events and brand deals that raise your profile

Here is a closer look at what an agency offers that solo streaming rarely can.

Data-Driven Strategy for Raising Your Rank

Joining an IRIAM agency (an agency for livers who work primarily on IRIAM) means you can put its accumulated streaming data and know-how to work on your rank strategy. Some agencies support their livers using activity data and analysis.

Being able to reference past border trends and other livers’ results makes it easier to decide which days to push and how to schedule. Border data is publicly available to solo livers too, but turning numbers into a streaming strategy is where people get stuck.

With an agency’s expertise, you can climb on the basis of data rather than relying on instinct alone.

A Manager’s Advice to Settle Your Worries

Joining an agency can also mean getting advice on your activity from a manager. Some agencies analyse weekly scores or advise on how to stream before and after an event, adapting to your situation.

Problems with your streaming hours or score management that are hard to spot yourself can be worked on from an outside perspective. And when your rank stalls, having someone to talk to means you can diagnose the cause and act on it sooner.

Support varies between agencies, though, so check what you can consult a manager about, and how often, before you sign.

Agency-Only Events and Brand Deals That Raise Your Profile

An agency can also open opportunities that are hard to reach alone, such as its own events and corporate tie-ups. Where an agency has relationships with companies and creators, you may be able to increase your exposure through campaigns and projects.

Getting your name in front of an audience you would not normally reach can bring in new listeners and lift your profile. Official IRIAM events also sometimes come with exposure-related perks such as ad placements or feature pages.

Whether such events and deals exist depends on the agency, so check what opportunities and support are on offer before joining.

FAQ About Raising Your Rank on IRIAM

Here are answers to the questions that come up most often about raising your rank on IRIAM:

• Does your rank change every day?
• What is the fastest route up for a beginner?
• Do the C and D tiers really pay nothing per hour?
• Can you skip a rank?

Does Your Rank Change Every Day?

In principle, promotion, holding and demotion are decided by the sum of your Daily Rank Scores over the last seven days.

Reach a total of 18 or more and you are promoted even mid-window; finish the seven days on 12–17 and you hold your rank; 11 or below and you drop. Each day’s score matters, but manage it across the full seven days rather than day by day.

What Is the Fastest Route Up for a Beginner?

If you want to climb quickly, make the exposure of your first 30 days count. Within two weeks of your first stream you appear on the Debut tab, and within 30 days on the Rookie tab, which makes you much easier for new listeners to find.

During that window, stream often, respond carefully to comments and talk with people, and put growing your regulars first. Build relationships with the listeners who support you early and steady Daily Rank Scores follow.

Do the C and D Tiers Really Pay Nothing per Hour?

In the C and D tiers, no hourly diamonds are awarded for time streamed; the hourly-rate equivalent starts at B1.

Even so, you can still earn support diamonds based on your activity in those tiers, so your earnings are not necessarily zero.

Early on, rather than rushing after an hourly rate, treat it as a preparation period: keep streaming, build relationships with regulars, and set yourself up to reach the B tier.

Can You Skip a Rank?

Community Rank moves up one step at a time, and jumping several ranks at once is not possible. Reach a Daily Rank Score total of 18 or more within seven days and you are promoted, your score resets, and you start on the next rank.

So you do not leap from D straight to C3 — you go D to C1, then build the required score again for the next promotion. Even aiming for the upper ranks quickly, you have to earn the score at every step.

Summary

Climbing the ranks on IRIAM means understanding the Daily Rank Score, support points and borders, and keeping your streaming going with the full seven-day window in view.

Streaming at the same time each day, sharing your score target and taking part in events are all ways of gathering support with your listeners rather than on your own. Past border trends and skip passes let you plan promotions and rank defence far more deliberately.

Beginners should make the Debut and Rookie tab periods count, and start by growing a base of regulars through frequent streams and real conversation.
