Concept (Mid-Late 2020)
The idea and concept of Star and Hepta goes as far back as July 2020 when Early View Records wanted to have a virtual duo, as at this time virtual singers were popular then. Early names of the duo include "Jam and Bon", "The ZM Sisters", etc. Originally, singers Malea Cha and Kailey Blanca would serve the voices for Star and Hepta, however the voices did not suit the duo, so this did not happen. Tia Maie Chan then went on to serving voices for both girls, which came to great success and she stayed on the role. The person who designed the duo was Kanako Ito, known for her cute chibi artstyle, used on previous works like Bloxtoons, various music videos, etc.

Music overview
Star and Hepta's singing voices are typically high pitched, and usually are from 89bpm - 140bpm. Most of their songs are pop or electro genre, though some songs released are rock. Star's voice is powerful and has an accent to her singing, while Hepta has a soft and calm voice. According to Tia, "High pitched is cute. It makes someone sound young and unique, so I gave them high pitched voices as it really did suit them."
