With a well-received first season of Idolish7 and then a spinoff series with Vibrato, we learned in July 2019 that a second season is in the works and that it was planned for the spring 2020 season in April. The series, named IDOLiSH7: Second BEAT!, took awhile to get done in full because of pandemic delays. But with it wrapping up this weekend, it ended with a notice that a third season has been given the green light and that details will be coming later for it.
In the meantime, plenty more music and related things are coming for it with performances and merchandise as part of its multimedia approach.
The first season was directed by Makoto Bessho with series composition by Ayumi Sekine. Kazumi Fukagawa is on board to handle the character adaptations into anime form while TROYCA will be handling the animation production itself.
The Japanese cast includes Toshiki Masuda as Iori Izumi, Yuusuke Shirai as Yamato Nikaidou, Tsubasa Yonaga as Mitsuki Izumi, KENN as Tamaki Yotsuba, Atsushi Abe as Sougo Ousaka, Takuya Eguchi as Nagi Rokuya, Kensho Ono as Riku Nanase, Wataru Hatano as Gaku Yaotome, Soma Saito as Tenn Kujo, Takuya Satou as Ryuunosuke Tsunashi, Soichiro Hoshi as Momo, and Shinnosuke Tachibana as Yuki.
