Ohayou minna!!! It's me again and recently I just finished watching IDOLiSH7. And again, I'm sooooo in love with it. I gotta admit that I cringed when I first watch the trailer and see the characters dancing. But then I keep watch it anyway. AND I HAVE NO REGRETS!!
IDOLiSH 7 tells a story about a young girl named Tsumugi Takanashi who works in her father company and become a manager of an idol group consist of 7 young man. Nanase Riku, Izumi Iori, Izumi Mitsuki, Sogo Osaka, Yamato Nikaido, Tamaki Yotsuba and Nagi Rokuya.
The story then followed by the journey and struggle that she and the 7 member of the group experince before they become a succesfull Idol group in Japan.
And minna-san, as a fangirl myself I really familiar with this situation. I mean, I used to have an obsessed feeling when it comes to fangirling. Like when I fangirling at 5sos. At that time I discover them, I spent a lot of time watching them on youtube. Their interviews, their live performance, covers and even some fan made video about their ships. 😝
And when I watch IDOLiSH7, it really reminds me of that situation. Like, I really eager to know the real personalities of my idol. And this anime really shows me that. This anime shows me that people who become idol are actually an ordinary person with their own complex problem. They are just a human like one of us. Hehehhe..
But gomen, minna. I won't talk much about the story line of this anime because I think you guys should watch it yourself!! IT REALLY WORTH IT!! The things that I wanna talk about in this review is the relationship between Nanase Riku amd Izumi Iori. They are so cuuuttee!! Even though they often fight but they actually really care for each other. Especially Iori to Riku. I even rewatch a few episode just to see some "moments" between these two. Lol
And here's what I found: *WARNING: Contain Spoiler*
1. Riku is the one that reminds Iori that he has to be nicer when talking to other people, especially the older one.
2. Iori is the one that suggest the manager (Tsumugi) to make Riku as their center.
3. Iori also the first one that find out about Riku's illness and being very protective for him ever since. One time, it even cause a big trouble when he was too worry for Riku he become unaware of his singing part while they were performing.
4. Riku feels so guilty for Iori messing up their performance. He tries to talk about it with Iori and promised that he would take care of his health better so he won't make Iori worry again.
5. Iori is the one that remind Riku that he doesn't need to chase his older twin brother (Kujo Tenn) shadow anymore because he promised he would do his best so Riku can be success on his own.
6. IORI THOUGHT RIKU IS "KAWAII" !!! He even say it louder TWICE in the series (even though it doesn't seems like Riku or the other really saw it as a confession but only take it as a joke)
7. Iori is the one that Riku comes to when they win the Black and White award. Too bad they didn't hug. But it looks like Riku is really wanted to hug Iori at that moment anyway.
8. Watch THE FINAL EPISODE OF IDOLiSH7 Vibrato!!!! In that episode you can see Riku thank Iori for everything he did for him!!!! He admits that sometimes what Iori does are tough but that makes him grow and become a better person and a better idol. And Riku asked him to always support him in anyway he can!!!
If you ever need more prove just listen and read the lyrics of the song "Fly Away" which sang by Riku and Iori. I'm really surprised by how accurate their relationship is shown in this song. And it makes me so happy!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I think that's enough minna-san. The list can continue forever if I didn't stop now. Lol. I just really LOVE their bromance so bad. And it makes me so hard to move on from this anime. I ended up rewatching the entire season and the sequel, downloading their songs, looking up their picts on pinterest and reading their rabbit chats on some tumblr blogs. Aaaahhh i really love this anime so much!!!
Minna, I must confess that I took so long to write this review because I think this article is not good or detailed enough to speak out my feeling about this anime. Lol.
Especially at first it seems like I only focusses on talking about the relationship of IoRiku, but as the story progress and the more I read their rabbit chat I finally realize that Riku and Tenn relationship is also something that play a big role in this entire series. And I can't ignore that. Cause actually I GREW TO LOVE THE RELATIONSHIP OF TENN AND RIKU TOO!!
Just like Iori, Tenn is the tsundere type that actually really care so much about the sake of Riku. And as the story progress and the more and more rabbit chat I read, I can see that Tenn and Iori is very protective about Riku that even sometimes both of them are acting like a rival when it comes to showing love and protecting Riku. Lol.
Minna, sorry if it's seems like I only talk about this 3 characters, I must admit that they are actually my fav characters from this series. But I like the other characters too. I like how Souchan is so calm and trying to be nice and mature in every situation. (HE BECAME ONE OF MY FAV CHARACTER TOO NOW!!!) I like how Mitsuki is very good at being the older brother for everyone. I like how Yamato is so funny and trying to be a leader that won't bored the other. Lol. I like how Nagi genuinly loves and care about his comerades. I gotta admit that sometimes Tamaki is kinda pissed me off but later I grow to like him too. He is actually just a nice person that sometimes not very easy to express himself. And I really love Tsumugi for being an independent, responsible and reliable woman who can, not only manage the 7 boys but also love, cheering, and protect them all the way she can. I really loves her character so much.
Aaahhh i really can't say goodbye to this anime you know hehe.. And I really wish I can play their games too. Hopefully they will get realeased in English version hehe.. More good news is IDOLiSH7 would get a season 2 in 2020. I really hope I can see more of the IORIKUTENN moments. ❤️💙💜💚🧡💛💖
