Tokyo 7th Sisters, also known as ナナシス (“NanaSis”) in Japan, is a smartphone game that follows a story that happens in the “Theater-type Studio 777 (three seven)”, where the player joins as the second generation manager. The game started its service in 2014, and currently has a player base of over 2 million.

Here are some comments from Motegi and Kitagawa:

Shintaro Motegi (Planning / Scriptwriter / Music producer)

“It’s been 6 years since I worked on NanaSis. There’s been many encounters, and this time I am blessed with yet another wonderful one. It has been years since I’ve wanted to see NanaSis being animated.

Through this opportunity, I would like NanaSis to become an entertainment that fans and everyone else can enjoy. Holding on to these feelings, I am working hard with the staff on the anime production.”

Takayuki Kitagawa (Director)

“While I feel the pressure of my involvement with a well-established project like Tokyo 7th Sisters, I am working hard with Motegi-san and the rest of the staff to bring out the best in NanaSis.

“To give someone a push on the back”. It’ll be wonderful if we can achieve the kind of portrayal that can only be seen in animation. I look forward to seeing you at the cinemas. Please look forward to Summer 2020.”
