A 77-minute anime film adaptation by LandQ studios titled Tokyo 7th Sisters: Bokura wa Aozora ni Naru was scheduled to air in summer 2020, but has been delayed to February 26, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The story centers on "new generation" idols from the studio "777 (Three Seven)", referred to as Nanastar, in the year 2034, in a future where idols are considered a thing of the past. The player acts as the manager of Nanastar, whose job is to recruit and train a number of different girls by collecting and leveling collectible cards. The cast of characters includes more than 50 fully-voiced, unique idols from different backgrounds.

Story

edit

In the year of 2032, the legendary idol unit "7th Sisters" suddenly retired from the industry and disappeared. That was the end of the idol industry... Until two years later, when a young glory-seeking employee (the player) is appointed to be the leader of Tokyo's next generation idol studio, "777 (Three Seven)", commonly referred to as Nanastar. However, the city continues to believe that idols are a thing of the past, and Nanastar is no exception. The story of the idols of the future, the Nanastar Sisters, will now unfold.[3]
