After 22/7’s successful debut show, the Wall issues a new order: “Have a successful gravure photo shoot at the Hitome Senbonzakura cherry blossoms.” Gouda and the staff scramble to book a cover photo shoot with a magazine to fulfill the unreasonable request from the Wall; however, Sakura is overcome with emotion.
The Wall issues a new order instructing the girls to perform at ITF (Idol Tokyo Festival), known as a stepping-stone to success for idols. This is the first festival appearance for 22/7, but after seeing other idol groups they realize that they lack cohesiveness.
The Wall suddenly issues an order stating that, “The leader of the group is Reika Sato.” Having a strong sense of responsibility, Reika worries about her newly appointed position. The Wall issues another order instructing 22/7 to fly to Okinawa to shoot images for a photo book.
Many members of the group have collapsed due to exhaustion. 22/7 has been inundated with bookings and their schedule is full again today. In this urgent situation, the only member that is fine is Jun.
22/7 has been booked for a huge headliner show and the group is in good spirits. While the girls are visibly excited about their upcoming show, Akane is calm and collected as usual, even almost robot-like. What inspired her to become an idol?
With the success of their headliner show, everything seems to be going well for 22/7 as they are approaching their fist anniversary. As a reward for their hard work, the Wall gives the members a two day trip to a hot spring.
The Wall suddenly issues an order for 22/7 to disband. Miu and the girls are frozen in disbelief and even Gouda can’t hide his confusion, but the orders from The Wall are absolute. The management is forced to close their office and 22/7 holds a press conference announcing their breakup.
22/7 has disbanded based on the orders from the Wall. The GIP office has shut down and all the members have gone their separate ways. Nicole had the strongest ambition to become an idol and is furious about this outcome.
After the eight members of 22/7 gather and confirm their love for the group again, the Wall, which had been silent since the disbandment press conference, starts to speak again.
