Has it gotten to a point especially here in the States that idol group 22/7 is just Sally Amaki featuring 22/7? I feel she's becoming the face of the group for the English-speakers.

Not like that’s a bad thing. I bet there are dozens of prefab idol groups that would love to have a hook to catch the interest of international audiences, like the English-speaking, straight-talking, dabbing-on-demand, frequently ridiculous Sally Amaki.

More attention is better than no attention, even if it's just random English-speaking people who look on from overseas.
But people have to realize how much of an unicorn Sally is in that industry, and how that can be a source of misunderstanding.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not a bad thing at all. It's all very fascinating how the producer lucked out in getting a Japanese-American Sally Amaki. Heck, if that 22/7 anime comes out and that gets an English dub, I wouldn't be surprised for the producers to get her to reprise her role for both languages.

Slight correction: Midnight Pulp was actually the fifth website that streamed Pop Team Epic as a simulcast. Amazon didn't stream it until the broadcast had ended.
