About 22/7 (Nanabun no Nijuni)
22/7 is a unique Japanese idol girl group formed through a collaborative media mix project spearheaded by producer Yasushi Akimoto, Aniplex, and Sony Music Records. The group debuted in 2017 and is notable for its concept as a “digital voice actress idol group,” where its members not only perform as a musical group but also provide voice and motion capture for their animated characters. This innovative approach has allowed 22/7 to carve out a distinct niche in the idol industry, blending physical performances with animated representations. The group has released several singles and even had its own anime television series.
The announcement of 22/7’s involvement adds another layer of excitement for fans eagerly awaiting the return of The Beginning After the End in Spring 2026.
