IDOLiSH7

Tsumugi Takanashi is tasked with managing Takanashi Productions' newest idol group, IDOLiSH7. After meeting the seven candidates, she's instructed to hold an audition and reject four of them. How will she decide who to keep and who to cut?

It's time for IDOLiSH7's first concert. Confident in her abilities to promote such a promising and talented group, Tsumugi ambitiously reserves a large outdoor venue for the event. Will they be able to fill all three thousand seats?

After their disatrous first concert, Iori approaches Tsumigi with some ideas for the future of the group. Meanwhile, the boys move into their dorm and begin to learn more about each other.

IDOLiSH7 achieves their long-held dream of having their own namesake show, and the members feel like celebrating. President Takanashi explains that Mitsuki's talent for MCing that he's been displaying on variety programs was big for the group. Mitsuki cries tears of joy over the recognition he has received. The group begins planning more jobs to promote their show, and they are soon invited onto the show of top idols Re:vale. It will be their first real appearance with their seniors Re:vale. The members wait anxiously in their greenroom, but when Momo and Yuki arrive...?!

Yuki declares that he'll recommend IDOLiSH7 for the currently undecided performance slot at the Zero Arena inaugural concert. Zero Arena's general manager is scheduled to come to their next concert, so Tsumugi, who is in charge of the group's stage production, heads to Zero Arena to gather ideas. There she encounters a gentleman who claims to have worked in stage production in the past. Tsumugi's heart is moved by the way he describes his feelings towards idols standing onstage. His hints help her finish the set, and the concert begins!

Though the concert ended without incident, Riku was unable to perform in the encore due to an asthma attack. Fortunately, it doesn't affect the Zero Arena general manager's opinion of the concert, and IDOLiSH7 is officially offered an appearance at the inaugural concert. Mitsuki and Nagi are delighted, but there are reservations about whether or not the sickly Riku can continue acting as the center. Riku tries to act tough after his recovery, making Tsumugi wonder how to approach the situation. Meanwhile, she discusses a major decision with Iori.

IDOLiSH7 is set to hold a debut anniversary tour. Along with TRIGGER and Re:vale, all three groups are attracting a lot of attention in the idol industry. Their members attend the Akebono TV 50th anniversary party.

Mitsuki and Nagi learn that Yamato has a secret based on his behavior at the party. Rather than being troubled by the secret itself, Nagi can't accept that Yamato is closing himself off from his friends. Yamato himself encounters his first acting wall at the filming location of his movie...
