Episode 14 Story

On the morning of Mother’s Day, Kokoro Shigure (voiced by Natsumi Takamori) wakes up to find her mom heading off to work despite the holiday. After seeing her off, Kokoro buys a carnation from a local flower shop, but struggles to decide what to write on the message card.

Later, she visits Café Glitter during her break and confides in her friends Uta Sakura (voiced by Misato Matsuoka) and the others, saying, “There’s just too much I want to say—I can’t organize my thoughts.” Nana Aokaze (voiced by Minami Takahashi) suggests she think back on the most heartwarming memory she has with her mom. As Kokoro strolls through town, she recalls a childhood moment when her mother came to pick her up from preschool. Inspired, Kokoro decides that this time, she’ll be the one to go and meet her mom.

That evening, she waits by the station, and when she spots her mother, she runs toward her. But suddenly, Zackly appears and traps Kokoro’s mother inside the Makkuranda.

The theme of You and Idol Pretty Cure revolves around idols. With the belief that "Because you're here, I can shine and become stronger!", the Pretty Cure idols sing, dance, and engage with fans, using their performances to restore Kirakira to those who have lost it.

The story follows Uta Sakura, a second-year middle school student who loves to sing. One day, she meets Purirun, a fairy searching for the Idol Pretty Cure, the legendary savior of Kirakiland. Kirakiland has been plunged into darkness by Darkine, the leader of the Chokkiri Gang.

As the Chokkiri Gang begins stealing the Kirakira from townspeople, a desperate Uta declares, "I want to bring back the Kirakkiranran feeling! With my song!" Her determination resonates, and she transforms into the legendary Cure Idol.
