I didn't want to become an idol.

Miu Takigawa

22/7 (ナナブンノニジュウニ pronounced "nanabun no nijyuuni") is produced by animation company A-1 Pictures in association with Sony Music Records and Aniplex. It was originally announced on July 22, 2017 that an anime project was being produced for the digital seiyuu idol group of the same name, 22/7. It premiered on January 11, 2020, and ended airing on March 28, 2020.

Prologue[]

"One day, Miu Takigawa suddenly receives a letter notifying her that she has been chosen as a member of a brand-new project.

Half in disbelief, she heads over to the location stated on the letter. There, she finds seven other girls summoned there in the same fashion.

The girls behold a giant, top-secret facility. They stand in bewilderment as they are told: "You are going to debut for a major record label as an idol group."

A new kind of idol, never-before-seen, is about to be born here..."[1]

Trivia[]

  • The anime is based off of true events revolving around the voice actors and their experience as the group 22/7 and even experiences before this.
  • The script included lines that the voice actors themselves had said in previous interviews and alike.
    • For example, "I came to do what I didn't want to do the most.” ("一番やりたくないことをしに来ました" "Ichiban yaritakunai koto o shi ni kimashita") by Miu in episode 1, was said by Nagomi multiple times during the audition and early interviews about why she wanted to join 22/7.[3]
  • Voice recording for the anime began as early as October, which coincided with Mei's hiatus.
    • Because of this, all members except Uta recorded together. Uta recorded at a different time up until episode 9, where she joined the rest.[4]
