The hugely popular smartphone app game "IDOLiSH7" is a male idol training game that has garnered popularity, especially among women. The appeal of the characters is of course reflected in the music and story, making it popular with a wide range of demographics. With a second season of the anime scheduled for broadcast in 2020, it's likely to become even more popular in the future. In this article, we'll introduce "TRIGGER," a popular unit from "IDOLiSH7." This unit is positioned as a rival to the main character unit "IDOLiSH7," but what exactly is it? Let's take a look!
What kind of unit is TRIGGER?
TRIGGER is an idol group consisting of three members: Kujo Ten, Yaotome Gaku, and Tono Ryunosuke. Kujo Ten is the center and Yaotome Gaku is the leader. This talented idol group has emerged as a luxurious, high-visual, and high-quality unit, capturing the hearts of many fans. Center member Kujo Ten is a talented talent who has even been recognized by Broadway stage directors. Furthermore, Yaotome Gaku and Tono Ryunosuke are ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on the "Men I Want to Sleep With" rankings at a young age. The trio consists of Yaotome Raku, who exudes a glamorous, celebrity-like aura, and Jyu Ryunosuke, who is wild, sexy, and a skilled dancer. They're a highly professional unit.
The visuals of the three members!
As you can see from the visuals of the three members together and the music video for "TRIGGER," this is a very luxurious unit. Their image colors—smoky pink, gray, and navy—are also very stylish. This contrasts with "IDOLiSH7," which often uses primary colors like red and blue. Incidentally, the members' names contain numbers, which is common with other units. (August, September, and October)
TRIGGER Members Introduction Part 1☆ Kujo Ten
Kujo Ten is the center of TRIGGER. She has asymmetrical silver hair and beautiful features. On the surface (as an idol), she plays the role of a devilish character. In reality, she's a meritocrat and perfectionist. She has a high level of professionalism, always putting her all into delivering flawless performances in front of others. However, because of her high level of professionalism, there's a noticeable gap between her true personality and her idol persona, and she's often misunderstood as a two-faced person. Although she's strict with herself and others, she sometimes shows her true 18-year-old side.
Detailed Profile
She's 18 years old, 173 cm tall, and her birthday is July 9th. She likes "perfect things" and dislikes "half-baked things." Her voice actor is Soma Saito.
Does she have any siblings?
This will be a spoiler, but Kujo Ten has a younger brother. In fact, his younger brother is Nanase Riku, a member of "IDOLiSH7." The two originally lived together, but when the show club run by their parents fell into financial difficulty, Kujo Takamasa adopted him. At first, he was not happy about his sick brother working as an idol, but now they seem to accept each other.
TRIGGER Members Introduction Part 2☆ Yaotome Gaku
Yaotome Gaku is the leader of TRIGGER. He's a talented idol, voted the "No. 1 man women want to sleep with," and exudes a glamorous, celebrity-like aura. He's a sought-after idol, appearing on TV and in commercials. He's also the son of Yaotome Agency president Sosuke Yaotome. While he poses a cool character (as an idol), he's actually a passionate and passionate person. His foul mouth and competitive nature often put him at odds with Ten Kujo, who is committed to being the idol his fans want. However, he seems to respect and be proud of his fellow band members.
Detailed Profile
He's 22 years old, his birthday is August 16th, and he's 183 cm tall. He likes soba noodles and hates "people who don't value their family." His voice actor is Wataru Hatano.
Are his parents divorced?
In fact, Yaotome Raku's parents are divorced, and he was raised by his father. Raku seems to believe he was raised by his father because he would be marketable as an idol. He still cherishes his mother and helps out at her family's restaurant, Yamamura Soba. Incidentally, he has run into members and Tsumugi Takanashi many times while helping out (as the restaurant is a regular for Takanashi Agency), but he seems to be passing himself off as a "Yaotome Raku lookalike."
TRIGGER Members Introduction Part 3☆ Ryunosuke Tsunashi
Ryunosuke Tsunashi is a member of TRIGGER. He has a calm and gentle personality, but as an idol, his agency promotes him as a "dangerous, sexy, wild character" (!), which seems to confuse him. Originally from Okinawa Prefecture, he seems troubled by the gap between his true self, which tends to slip into his dialect when he's not paying attention, and the persona he promotes as an idol. He often complains that he "wants to go back to his island." He likes alcohol, but his drinking habits seem to be bad, and he gets into trouble when he's drunk. He often mediates between Ten Kujo and Raku Yaotome, who often get into arguments.
Detailed Profile

What's his relationship with his father?
