Idolish 7 Rhythm Game's Details, Autographed Goods Announced
posted on by Eric Stimson
Fans of hunky idol singers dancing around a sparkling stage singing sweet love songs, rejoice: Arina Tanemura, known for her cute and effeminate artwork (The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross, Full Moon O Sagashite, Phantom Thief Jeanne), designed the characters of a new idol mobile game, IDOLiSH7.
IDOLiSH7 casts the player as a manager of a group of aspiring idol singers. You must help them improve their act through better and flashier stage performances, which take the form of a rhythm game. The idols get clothing upgrades as their career advances. You also have the option to communicate with them in the game via a "Rabbit Chat" feature. The game also includes fully voiced cutscenes starring Kenshō Ono, Toshiki Masuda, Yusuke Shirai, Tsubasa Yonaga, KENN, Atsushi Abe and Takuya Eguchi.
Those who preorder the game will receive a card featuring an idol of their choosing. 24 players can also win a drawing of the idols with autographs from one of the voice actors or Tanemura. (Each has autographed three drawings.) Stella Stones, a useful in-game item, will be made available to players as prizes depending on how many preorder the game — five for 777 preorders, 10 for 7,777 preorders, and 20 for 77,777 preorders.
Sample cards
IDOLiSH7 will be available for download in the App Store and Google Play in late August. It can be preordered here. The project will also feature music releases, manga, and a serialized novel.
Arina Tanemura has also recently drawn a convention report manga for a Tales of fan magazine.
