The wildly popular game "IDOLiSH7" has aired its first season of anime to great acclaim, with a second season set to air in 2020. Its unique characters, captivating story, and musical compositions have made it immensely popular, especially among women. "IDOLiSH7," or "IDOLiSH7" for short, features a variety of units. In this article, we'll introduce the units featured in "IDOLiSH7." Which unit is your favorite? Let's take a look!
Unit Introduction ① IDOLiSH7
First, let's introduce the main unit, "IDOLiSH7." The group is made up of seven members: Izumi Iori, Nikaido Yamato, Izumi Mitsuki, Yotsuba Tamaki, Osaka Sogo, Mutsuya Nagi, and Nanase Riku. Each member has their own unique charm and grows alongside their manager!
Image Color and Name
Each member's image color is a rainbow color: red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and purple. Furthermore, the members' names are unique in that they all contain numbers. Members with odd numbers have numbers in their first name, while members with even numbers have numbers in their last name. However, Nanase Riku is the only one who fits both.
MEZZO"
This independent unit is comprised of IDOLiSH7's Tamaki Yotsuba and Sougo Osaka. Their contrasting personalities and beautifully harmonious vocals continue to captivate many fans. Incidentally, in a joint unit with TRIGGER, they team up with Ryunosuke Toru.
Flowe
This is a unit within the group consisting of Nanase Riku and Izumi Iori. The abbreviation "Flowe" comes from the song they sing, "Fly Away!" In a joint unit with TRIGGER, they teamed up with Kujo Ten and sang "Fure Fure! Seishun Sanka."
Pythagoras Trio
This is a group unit consisting of Yamato Nikaido, Mitsuki Izumi, and Nagi Mutsuya, and is named after the song "Pythagoras☆Fighter." They also teamed up with Gaku Yaotome in a joint unit with TRIGGER to sing "Danshi Tarumono! ~MATSURI~."
Unit Introduction ② TRIGGER
Next, let's introduce "TRIGGER." They're a three-member unit affiliated with Yaotome Agency, consisting of Yaotome Raku, Kujo Ten, and Ju Ryunosuke. This talented idol group delivers high-quality, high-visibility performances that exude luxury. Yaotome Raku is the leader, and Kujo Ten serves as the center. Both the character visuals and the unit's atmosphere are mature, creating a contrast with "IDOLiSH7."
Image Colors and Names
The image colors are (smoky) pink for Kujo Ten, gray for Yaotome Gaku, and navy for Ju Ryunosuke. While IDOLiSH7's colors are primarily primary colors, theirs are distinctively smoky. Also, all members' names have "8.9.10" at the top.
In Part 3... [Spoiler Alert! 】
This is a spoiler for Part 3 of the game's main story, but TRIGGER was poached by Tsukumo Productions and decided to leave Yaotome Agency to avoid transferring to another agency. From then on, they continued to operate as an indie label. At the same time, TRIGGER's manager, Anesagi Kaoru, also left Yaotome Agency and joined TRIGGER.
Unit Introduction ③ Re:vale
The third group we'll introduce is "Re:vale." They're a duo affiliated with Okazaki Entertainment. These top idols won the overall championship at the Black Howa competition. Their names contain the numbers "Hyaku" (100) and "Sen" (1,000). By the way, they're pronounced "Momo" and "Yuki."
A Unit Celebrating Its 5th Anniversary
Re:vale is portrayed as a top idol group with more experience and talent than IDOLiSH7 and TRIGGER. Until now, TRIGGER has been portrayed as a senior group to IDOLiSH7, but this time, they will show signs of respect for them, and the story will change. By the way, their image colors are "magenta" and "lime green," respectively. They have a stylish feel.
What are their real names?
By the way, the two characters named "Sen" and "Hyaku" have their real names revealed in the story. "Sen" is "Orikasa Yukito" and "Hyaku" is "Sunohara Momose." Both characters have a Chinese numeral in the first character of their names.
Momo
She has a bright personality, is easygoing, and is always high-spirited. However, she also pays close attention to her surroundings and will take the initiative to lighten the mood when things get tense. While she's well-respected by IDOLiSH7 and TRIGGER, she doesn't put up any barriers and treats everyone equally. However, when it comes to her own problems, she's clumsy and often keeps them to herself.
Yuki
Although he always exudes a cool demeanor, he actually has a surprisingly playful side. He also has a low threshold for laughter, and sometimes finds it hard to contain his laughter when interacting with Momo. While he's a top idol alongside Momo, he also has a gentle side, caring for his juniors. However, the way he shows affection seems a little unusual.
Unit Introduction #4 ŹOOĻ
The final unit we'll introduce is "ŹOOĻ (ZooL)." They have a completely different vibe from the previous units, appearing in Part 3 of the main story. They're a new idol group from Tsukumo Production. The four-member group, each with some kind of connection to IDOLiSH7 and TRIGGER, are notoriously unkind to idols. They don't flatter others, and they're not "goody-goody," which is unusual for idols, so they became a hot topic shortly after their debut. Furthermore, several members harbor a grudge against TRIGGER, and it seems they're planning to crush TRIGGER first before reigning supreme in the idol world.
Names Based on the Zodiac Sign
Until now, all the characters' names have included numbers, but this time, unusually, the zodiac sign is included. The group also features two vocalists and two performers. Incidentally, the "Tetrarchy" in the group's tagline, "Tetrarchy of Madness and Destruction," refers to the ancient Roman political system, with two emperors and two co-emperors, meaning "rule by four."
Check out each unit's songs!
"Idolish Seven" is known for its high-quality music, attracting attention. In fact, IDOLiSH7's songs are produced by people who also work on Johnny's music, resulting in highly polished songs. Another highlight is the unique characteristics of each unit's music. Since "Idolish Seven" is also a rhythm game, listening to the songs is also fun. Many CDs are available for sale, and songs are also available digitally, so be sure to find your favorite song.
[Idolish Seven] Unit Summary!
That concludes our summary of the units appearing in "Idolish Seven"! "Idolish Seven" features many unique characters, and we've learned that it's currently divided into four units. We've also learned that the relationships between the units are complex, with some cooperating and others opposing each other. With the third part of the main story now available and the second season of the anime airing in 2020, the "Idolish Seven" industry is sure to become even more exciting. We're excited to see what happens next. Thank you for reading this far.
