22/7 (idol group)
22/7 (read as Nanabun no Nijūni (ナナブンノニジュウニ Twenty Two Per Seven)) is a Japanese idol project between Yasushi Akimoto, Aniplex, and Sony Music Records. The project is described as "The Idols Who Transcend The Dimension." A digital idol audition for the 8 characters was held until December 17, 2016 with final examination was held on December 24, 2016. A CD debut and an anime project are included in the project.[1]
In December 25, 2016, the idol group name is revealed to be 22/7. The name was chosen due to when converted into decimal, the number will turned into 3,14, an irrational number that can not be expressed in integer division.[2] Among 10,325 applicants, 12 voice actresses also voted and chosen,[3] despite that the currently announced characters are only 8.
An anime adaptation has been announced.[4]
