Takayuki Hamana, renowned for his directorial work on titles like “Prince of Tennis” and “Sorcerous Stabber Orphen” in 2020, holds the position of series director at both Toei Animation and Studio DEEN. Meanwhile, Yoshimi Narita, with a rich portfolio of contributions to various “Precure” movies and series, takes the helm of series composition. Atsuko Nakajima, celebrated for character designs in “Komi Can’t Communicate” and “Ranma ½,” lends her artistic expertise. The musical score is entrusted to Naoki Satō, who has previously worked on several “Precure” series, including “Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!”
The opening theme, “Tokimeki” (Heart-Throbbing), will be brought to life by the talented Ikimono-gakari. For the closing theme, “Shizuku no Precure” (Drops of Precure), the stage belongs to Cure Quartet, a group consisting of “Precure” theme song luminaries Mayumi Gojo, Yuka Uchiyae, Mayu Kudou, and Kanako Miyamoto. Cure Quartet, known for their earlier work on the 2008 “Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!” anime’s second ending theme, returns to captivate audiences once again.
