- In case you never once heard of the Tokyo 7th Sisters, it's a idol rhythm app game set in the not too distant future where a new generation of idols straight from the studio 777 take the centerstage and continue the legacy where the legendary 7th Sisters left off. Anyway, a few already heard of it but its popularity is faring well with the other idol stuff we all know about. Anyway, 2016 marks its 2nd year in service and to celebrate the very occasion, a second live event has announced from the official website and it's happening this 21st of August, 2016, at the Pacifico Yokohama National Convention Hall. In addition, a second album titled "Are You Ready 7th-TYPES??" is coming this June 2016 with four new songs.

TTFN!!!
