In this article, we'll introduce the content of IDOLiSH7. This work is not only popular for its charming characters, but also for its highly entertaining storyline. What exactly is it all about?
Content Part 1☆The Protagonist is a Manager in the Making
The protagonist of this story is the player's alter ego, Takanashi Tsumugi (name can be changed; last name is Takanashi). She is assigned to work as a manager at her father's idol agency. Her first time working and her first managerial role is managing "IDOLiSH7." This is the story of the gradual growth of the protagonist and seven idols with diverse personalities and individualities.
Four idols are rejected at the audition!?
After meeting the idols and learning about their personalities and strengths, Takanashi Tsumugi's father, Takanashi Otoharu, asks her, "Can you hold auditions right away and eliminate four of them?" Having spoken with the seven idols, learned their good points, and become motivated, the protagonist is left confused and confused. After much deliberation, the protagonist ultimately decides to pass all seven. However, Otoharu was actually hoping for that answer.
Seven Idols with Unique Personalities
The members of "IDOLiSH7" all have unique personalities. Each has their own strong opinions, and at first, they struggled to come together. However, from this point on, they begin their journey in the entertainment industry with the help of their manager.
Content 2☆A diverse group of members!
Each member of "IDOLiSH7" is unique. Let's introduce them here.
Izumi Iori
He is the younger brother of fellow "IDOLiSH7" member Izumi Mitsuki. He is a self-proclaimed "perfect high school student" who excels at everything. However, he also has a fragile heart and is easily affected by adversity. In addition to his talent as an idol, he also excels in management skills, and even secretly produces IDOLiSH7. His parents run a cake shop, and he loves cute things, though he insists otherwise.
Nikaido Yamato
He's a reliable guy and serves as the group's leader. He's the oldest member of the group. While he's generally lazy, he also cares deeply for his fellow members. She has talent in acting. She's aiming to become an idol out of revenge, and initially has a strong aversion to the entertainment industry. However, she is influenced by her peers who are simply aspiring to become idols. She also sometimes acts coldly toward others, avoiding the complexities she faces.
Mitsuki Izumi
She's the older brother of Iori Izumi, who is in the same group. She's the group's mood maker, and her quick wit often sees her acting as an MC. She dreamed of becoming an idol from a young age, but her cute appearance contrasted with her masculine personality. She also lacked any special talent for dancing or singing, which led to her consistently failing auditions. She also seems to be self-conscious about her short height. She's a good talker and has a cheerful personality.
Yotsuba Tamaki
She's a laid-back character with a lot going on. Despite her appearance, she has a childish personality, and her favorite food is "King Pudding." However, she's also a genius, with impressive dancing and singing abilities. She lost her mother at a young age and grew up in an institution with her younger sister. Although he did have a father, he was separated from his sister due to his domestic violence, his involvement in the family's living expenses, and his excessive drinking. His younger sister was later adopted, but they lost contact after the company they adopted suddenly went bankrupt. Tamaki's desire to become an idol is also due to his desire to become famous so that his sister can find him.
Ousaka Sougo
He is a sincere and kind-hearted young man. He was greatly influenced by his father, an unsuccessful musician who truly loved music, and he resolved to become an idol despite his family's opposition. Of course, he loves music himself, and he came to the industry out of a desire to become deeply involved in it and to prove to those around him that his grandfather's way of life was righteous. While generally calm and gentle, he can sometimes be overly bold, such as when he uses an electric screwdriver to destroy Tamaki's door lock because she won't come out of her room. Furthermore, although he initially conceals his identity from the other members, he is the heir to the president of the large Five Star Company (FSC).
Rokuya Nagi
He's half-Scandinavian and quite handsome. He's also quite good at flirting with women. He is what you might call an "otaku" (geek) and loves Japanese manga and anime. His favorite anime is "Magical Girl Magical Cocona." He says he dislikes breaking news that interrupts late-night anime. He sometimes pushes his favorite things onto the other members. Having had few friends since childhood, Nagi's words show how much he cares for his fellow members. The members of "IDOLiSH7" often have internal disputes and fights, and Nagi is always the first to intervene. He usually speaks broken Japanese, but seems to be able to speak properly if spoken slowly. His language skills are quite impressive, and in addition to Japanese, he can speak a variety of languages, including German, Italian, Norwegian, English, and Chinese. He also seems to have picked up the Okinawan dialect, influenced by TRIGGER's To.
Riku Nanase
She is the group's leader. Honest, innocent, and a kind-hearted person, she can't refuse a request. She's suffered from a respiratory illness since childhood, and spent most of her childhood in the hospital, which can make her a little naive. While she possesses impressive vocal talent, she's also prone to unpredictable attacks. She frequently fights with Iori, but deep down, she seems to be happy about it, as she's never had anyone to do that with before. Furthermore, her straightforward personality has a positive influence on the other members.
