The release of a preview video on the official X (formerly Twitter) account has fueled anticipation and speculation about "Rainbow City," a mysterious new setting.

According to the official announcement, "Rainbow City" is described as a newly established "sanctuary for idols," with Mr. Bonta Tsushimi handling the story. Following this announcement, numerous confused and questioning voices have emerged on social media, asking "What is Rainbow City!?", "Is it fantasy?", and "Does this mean Main Story Part 7?"

Among fans, comments drawing parallels to existing works like "It's like the Muvinana venue," "Looks like Pokémon," "Is it Mario Kart? (No it's not)," and "Is it like One Piece!?" have stimulated imaginations about its world view. Humorous comments such as "It's the kind of facility that would be blown up in a movie" have also been seen.

Additionally, the costumes in the newly released visual have received overwhelming praise, with fans exclaiming, "I love the outfits so much!" and "They're too cool!" There are already voices considering cosplay production. Furthermore, expectations are high for cross-group collaboration, with comments like "Having all four groups together is genius!" Fans have also imagined specific facility details, saying, "If it's a facility where there's a live venue, places to eat, rest areas, and shopping all nearby so you don't have any inconveniences, that would be amazing."

What kind of story will the idols weave in this new "sanctuary for idols"? As the "Rainbow City Arc" approaches its August 20 launch, fan anticipation has reached its peak.

The Context

"IDOLiSH7" is a highly popular Japanese rhythm and adventure mobile game, developed by Bandai Namco Online and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It features a diverse cast of male idols grouped into several units (IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER, Re:vale, ZOOL) and focuses on their journey through the entertainment industry, their struggles, and their triumphs. The game is renowned for its deep, story-driven narrative, intricate character development, and catchy music. The term "Muvinana" mentioned by fans likely refers to "Movie IDOLiSH7 LIVE 4bit BEYOND THE PERiOD," a successful concert film for the franchise. The excitement over a new "arc" stems from the game's strong emphasis on its ongoing plot.
