Hana Ogi
"Since before I can even remember, I was given Precure pajamas, toys, and dolls! Cure Blossom is the Precure that left the biggest impression on me, and I always waited in front of the TV on Sundays to watch Precure. My sister and I would dress up in character pajamas and play by reciting their catchphrases. The current series, 'Wondrous Precure!' is just too cute! Watching it while doing my makeup makes me feel more feminine, so I look forward to it every week. I'm so happy that Cure Nyami, who I found adorable in the opening, has appeared!"

Kirari Ochiai
"On holidays, I would wake up at 8 AM to watch Precure, excitedly waiting while eating breakfast! When the series changed, the girls at kindergarten would have lively conversations, and we would play with transformation items and compete with my sister to see who could remember more catchphrases. I also have fond memories of begging my parents to take me to meet my favorite Precure in person! Watching Precure brings back so many childhood memories, as it was such a significant part of my life!"

Moeko Kanisawa
"I am from the 'Futari wa Precure' generation and have always loved Precure, but my love for it reignited as an adult! One Sunday morning, I turned on the TV and saw the first transformation scene from 'Delicious Party Precure,' and I was moved to tears by the beautiful world. Then, I met Cure Sky in 'Hirogaru Sky! Precure,' and my desire to become a hero-like idol grew stronger. I collect goods of my favorite classic characters, Cure Black and Cure White, as well as my new favorites, Cure Sky and Cure Prism. I even deepened my love and knowledge through participating in the Precure Seminar and visiting the All Precure Exhibition! Precure is a significant part of my life now."

Natsune Kawaguchi
"In kindergarten, I played Precure every day, and I loved Cure Aqua from 'Yes! Precure 5.' Cure Aqua was so popular that we often competed for the role! I also remember staying overnight during our kindergarten graduation trip, where a friend's glow-in-the-dark Precure pajamas excited everyone as we huddled together under the blankets to see them!"

Natsumi Kawanago
"I've loved Precure since I can remember. I used to sing their songs, memorize transformation phrases and special moves, and play with their toys. 'Suite Precure♪' left the strongest impression on me! I loved cosplaying and going to shows with friends and making 'Suite Precure♪' cupcakes!"

Momo Sakurai
"Since my name is 'Momo,' I loved Cure Peach from 'Fresh Precure!' 'You make me happy!' is a song that made me fall in love with singing and dancing, so I'm thrilled to dance to it as an idol, fulfilling my dream!"

Mirei Suganami
"The original 'Futari wa Precure' left the strongest impression on me. I first encountered it in first grade, and it made my world sparkle. I admired the Precure for being both cool and cute. My mother even bought me transformation items, and I was excited every day."

Hitomi Suzuki
"My mom used to wake me up every Sunday morning to watch Precure. 'Yes! Precure 5' and 'Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!' left the most memories. I loved playing the game and dressing up as Cure Lemonade. Watching shows with my mom and movies with my dad are cherished memories. Even as an adult, Precure's strong heart saves me, and I strive to be someone admired like Precure, working hard as an idol. Precure is a sparkling inspiration for life."

Saya Tanizaki
"When 'Futari wa Precure' was airing during my kindergarten days, I loved and admired Precure. I remember getting a costume to transform into Cure White from Santa Claus! My cousin, the same age as me, had Cure Black, and we wore them together. Precure is cute, strong, and sparkly, and no matter how old I get, it's always something to admire!"

Nanaka Tomita
"Precure was something my sister and I looked forward to watching on TV every week. Though I am not a morning person, I woke up early on broadcast days! I used to wear the transformation set to play Precure, collected toys like Polun's Touch Commune and cards! Every Precure story makes you cry! Everyone cares for each other, and there's growth and realization even during battles. Seeing the Precure overcoming obstacles together always inspired me to be like them. Their bravery and belief in changing the future with courage and faith is profound. I was especially excited for 'Wondrous Precure!' as I love animals!"

Shiori Nagai
"I grew up watching 'Fresh Precure!' and 'Heartcatch Precure!' As a child, I devoured children's magazines for Precure information, collected Precure bread, dolls, and played Precure with friends. Precure definitely made my childhood shine! I still love and admire them today."

Mayuki Honda
"Precure taught me many important values: having a kind heart, never giving up, cherishing friends, family, and oneself. Growing up with my beloved Precure made me really happy. Precure's opening and ending songs also give me courage! I loved Eas from 'Fresh Precure!' and used to mimic 'Switch Over.' The joy and shock of meeting Cure Passion is something I'll never forget!"

"I still love Precure and it makes my heart flutter. Sometimes things don't go well, but Precure taught me the coolness of never giving up. As an adult, I learned that the costumes in 'Futari wa Precure' are designed for full effort in battle and the camera work is safe for children. I feel very fortunate to have grown up influenced by Precure."

Shiori Nishida
"My first dream for the future was to become a Precure! As a child, I thought I had to be well-behaved to become one, so it feels like a dream to be dancing with Precure now! My sister and I often played Precure, wearing 'Futari wa Precure' costumes. Even as an adult, touching Precure makes my heart race, and they are still cool, cute, and an inspiration to me."

Saya Eguchi
"Precure was a glittering aspiration for me as a child. Playing Precure with friends, transforming at home, and collecting goods gave me a lot of excitement.

Kurumi Takase
"Precure has been an admired figure for me since childhood. They always gave me smiles and courage. Each generation of Precure is kind, cute, cool, and above all, has a strong heart.

I'm really happy to be involved with the Precure I have always admired!"

Kokoro Maeda

Yuha Yamazaki
"I'm from the 'Yes! Precure 5' generation! I always wore costumes that allowed me to become my favorite Precure and even spent my time in Precure pajamas! I was greatly influenced by Precure, which is filled with the aspirations of cute and cool girls. I still want to be strong and beautiful like them and aim to be such an idol."

Minami Okamura
"Last year, I happened to watch a Precure show, and it felt like I was transported back to when I admired Precure so much! Precure gives courage and shines brightly for both children and adults, which I find similar to the idols I love. This renewed my interest in Precure, and I'm thrilled to be part of such a wonderful collaboration. I hope many people will enjoy it!"

Momohime Kiyono
"I've loved Cure Peach from 'Fresh Precure!' since kindergarten. I used to go to kindergarten every day with a perm and high twin tails, feeling a connection because of my name, Momohime. Now, dancing on a glittering stage as an idol like Cure Peach feels like a dream come true. I'm incredibly happy! Precure will always be a part of my heart."

Miha Hirai
"Last year, Utano Satoyoshi, Minami Okamura, and I went on a trip and watched a Precure show at Toei Uzumasa Eigamura! It was my first time seeing a Precure show in person, and it was incredibly fun! Watching the children dance with Precure made me think, 'What a wonderful space!' I felt a thrill myself. Especially since I'm from the 'Futari wa Precure' generation, seeing Cure Black was so exciting!"

Moeho Kobayashi
"I watched the original 'Futari wa Precure,' and the characters Nagisa and Honoka shared my name, which made me feel proud. Playing Precure at kindergarten and receiving transformation toys are unforgettable childhood memories."

Utano Satoyoshi
"I've loved Precure for 20 years since its broadcast began. As a child, I woke up early every Sunday to dance along with the ending dance. At home, I have a 'Precure Corner' filled with acrylic stands of my favorite Cures and various transformation items from throughout the years. The belief in 'never giving up' and the straight, earnest attitude of Precure have given me courage many times, from my childhood to my student days and even now as an adult."
