Episode 26 Story

In Episode 26, Kokoro Shigure (voiced by Natsumi Takamori) sees children pretending to be the Idol Pretty Cures and suggests to Uta Sakura (voiced by Misato Matsuoka) and the others that they start a fan club. The group, including Tanaka, eagerly agrees and begins the preparations.

As they brainstorm what kind of fan club it should be, Kokoro recalls the kids’ enthusiastic play and proposes items like headsets and costumes. Additional suggestions include uchiwa fans, T-shirts, calendars, and membership cards.

A few days later, the Cure Idols gather at Tanaka’s house—now serving as their office and fan club headquarters—to take photos for the membership cards. They also decide to answer fan questions for their newsletter. One letter asks, “What’s your favorite proverb?”

Kokoro’s answer: “What one likes, one will do well.” She shares that this was a saying taught to her by her father during dance practice when she was a child.

About You and Idol Pretty Cure

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.
