Nishikori Hiroshi (Director)

The best live performance ever created by all 16 members! We wanted to fully express their charm, so we followed their every move with the cameras.
You can enjoy two different and wonderful sides of the members on “DAY1” and “DAY2”.
Watch their movements, expressions, and performances as they dazzlingly change every second on the dynamic stage.

Yamamoto Kensuke (Director)

The world of “IDOLiSH7” will overflow onto the stage with two days full of tricks.
Please feel the presence of these 16 idols and enjoy their glamorous performance on the stage in front of you, nearly within your reach.

Toshimi Bunta (Script)

Congratulations on “IDOLiSH7 the Movie: LIVE 4bit BEYOND THE PERiOD”! I think it was around the time when the 5th part of the main story was underway that I heard about the movie edition.
I felt the passion and enthusiasm of the continuing content “Idolish Seven”, which is already preparing for the next phase as they are heading toward the end of the current period.
Above all, the fact that the 16 idols were able to advance beyond the current period was thanks to the support of all the managers across the country.
Thank you for supporting us on the path that took us out of the app and into the anime, live performances, and even the movie theater.
With a grand live theme, great ideas, and the best set list ever put together, I was able to participate by writing the MC script. I hope you enjoy every bit of it!

Tanemura Arina (Character Design)

I have been involved in the movie version for a very long time in various matters, so I am as happy as if it were a reward to be able to present it to you today.
When I heard about the grand theme of “Shinra Bansho” (all things in the universe), I suggested that we express the four seasons since there are four groups in all.
The production team was very flexible in responding to various other ideas, and I think the work was like “all the special moves from all the sections performed at once”.
In particular, the production company, Orange, did a wonderful job with the light in the music video for “Mr. AFFECTiON,” so please pay close attention to the beautiful expression of the light.

Fukagawa Kasumi (“IDOLiSH7” App/TV Anime Character Design)

At last! A movie version! It’s finally here!
Seven years ago, I could not have imagined that they would be dancing and singing on the big screen, but I knew that the staff involved in the Ainana project would be able to pull it off.
It was definitely not an easy accomplishment, and it was the result of each and every one of the staff members working hard and putting their heart and soul into it.
Truly, congratulations! As a fan myself, I am really looking forward to being able to support them at the theater.
It’s really amazing that you have “DAY 1” and “DAY 2” as well! It’s like the movie theater is a live concert hall! I hope you all enjoy it as much as you can!

Shimooka Sokichi (“IDOLiSH7” Executive Producer)

It’s finally here! Welcome to “BEYOND THE PERiOD”, “DAY 1” and “DAY 2”! The day is approaching when we will be able to unveil the stage of our dream, which depicts the future of “IDOLiSH7” since the conception of the 5th part of the main story, in a very IDOLiSH7 style.
We are very happy to be able to witness the idols’ best performance on this new stage, the movie theater, with everyone who has been supporting “IDOLiSH7”.
Let’s do Ainana in the movie theater too!

Negishi Ayaka (“IDOLiSH7” General Producer)

It has been 7 years since the launch of the idol creation project and the birth of “IDOLiSH7” and its release.
Now, not only has it become an anime and held live performances, but we are finally able to showcase the idols at their best in movie theaters across the country.
The power of your support is gradually taking shape. Thank you very much. As one of the people involved in this project, I couldn’t be happier.
I hope that everyone will be able to see this live performance and feel happy.

Sogo Yamato (“IDOLiSH7” Audio Producer)

This show is a special stage for all of you who support us!
And “Pieces of The World” is an anthem for them and for you!
We are looking forward to seeing you at the theater.！！！！
