Idolish7

Synthesized from 11 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

IDOLiSH7's 2026 output is dominated by live events and physical retail tie-ins rather than new animation. The VISIBLIVE TOUR "4WARD JOURNEY" opened August 21, 2026, at Makuhari Messe with all 16 idols from IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER, Re:vale, and ZOOL on one stage. The tour continues to Intex Osaka and Marine Messe Fukuoka. That joint billing is the throughline: the four units also appear together in the JOYSOUND collaboration's 16 mini-character illustrations and in the Mitsui Shopping Park pop-up store's merchandise.

Restaurant and retail campaigns fill the calendar. The COCO'S collaboration, "Welcome to COCO'S! Delivering Seven-Colored Happiness to You!," runs at locations nationwide from August 27 to October 7, 2026, with original costumes, mini characters, clear cards, song-inspired menu items, voice content, and lottery prizes. Its announcement came on August 6 via COCO'S' official X account and a teaser site, using newly shot visuals rather than existing art. A separate collaboration cafe, Harmony Lounge / Salon de TRIGGER, runs September 18 to October 22 and centers on Gaku Yaotome, Tenn Kujo, and Ryunosuke Tsunashi, with a birthday drink for Tsunashi on October 12 and a bromide campaign. The JOYSOUND campaign ran June 26 to August 23, and the Mitsui Shopping Park pop-up opened sequentially at five locations starting June 12, with online sales from July 7 to July 31.

Home video and merchandise continue in parallel. "IDOLiSH7 First BEAT! Theatrical Compilation," the two-part re-edit of the 2018 TV anime's first season, reached Blu-ray and DVD on July 29, 2026, priced at 5,500 yen and 4,400 yen including tax, with a bonus disc of eight stage greeting recordings. Bandai's wafer line reached its 27th edition on July 13, and ticket-sized random cosmetics in two volumes were scheduled for August. The King's Pudding project crossed into live-action cooking with Kenji Endo on a TVer-exclusive episode from August 14 to September 12.
