is a Japanese video game developer founded by Masaya Matsuura in 1993. The title of the company is Japanese for the number seven, sounds, and the word “company”.
History In 1993, Matsuura founded the Tokyo-based production company, NanaOn-Sha, which began the development of video games. He was mainly involved in the development of the industry but in various sound productions, including his music activities.
In 1996, They released Tunin'Glue for Apple Pippin in Japan. They also developed PaRappa the Rapper for the PlayStation—the same year which the Tunin'Glue marked their collaborative debut with Californian visual artist Rodney Alan Greenblat. However, it was completed and was regarded as the first modern music video game, the game was initiated as a franchise, which included a spin-off, Um Jammer Lammy–which is based on guitar samples and a proper sequel, PaRappa the Rapper 2.
In 1999, they also developed Vib-Ribbon. Only released in Japan and PAL regions, the game was later released in North America on the PSN store under the PS1 classic in 2014. In 2010, the studio co-developed WINtA, an anti-war rhythm game in which most of its profits went to charity.
