It has been revealed that Takamori Natsumi, who plays Cure Kyun Kyun/Shiu Kokoro, will appear as a voice actor in the 22nd installment of the popular anime series "PreCure with You," which has the motif of "idols." The motif of "PreCure with You" is "idols," and the theme is "Because of you, we can shine and become stronger!". The legendary saviors, Idol PreCure, sing, dance, and give "fan service" for "you," such as the people they love, the people they care about, the people who support them, the people next to them, and the people in front of them, and your presence makes Idol PreCure shine brightly and strongly.
Kokoro Shiu, a first year junior high school student, is good at dancing and has a lot of passion inside her. Her catchphrase is "My heart is pounding!" Her pose transforms her into the fan service Cure Kyun Kyun. Her catchphrase is "Dancing with you, the rhythm of my heart! My heart is pounding, my Cure Kyun Kyun!" and she will be played by Takamori, who has played the roles of Kome Kome in "Delicious Party PreCure" and Maekawa Miku in "The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls".
Takamori commented, "I couldn't believe that I was going to be a PreCure!? I asked myself over and over again, "Really? Is it true? Are you joking?" and it was true, but when I got home that day, emotions slowly welled up inside me and I started crying. Even at this moment, I still feel a little like I'm dreaming, but I'd like to savor the meaning of this and devote myself to the project for the next year."
When asked about her thoughts on the "PreCure" series, she said, "I was in charge of the role of Kome Kome in 'Delicious Party PreCure,' and watched the PreCure characters closely for a year. I thought they were so warm, cool and sparkling, and also that it was a show that gave so much love. It taught me all kinds of feelings, like kindness, strength of heart, and sometimes the desire to run away. More than anything, it gives me so much excitement and sparkle every week...I really love it for that."
"When I first saw the illustration of Cure Kyun Kyun, I was surprised at how delicate and adorable she was. At first, I imagined her acting based on her name Cure Kyun Kyun and her adorable appearance, but I feel like my impression of her has changed a lot as I have gradually come into contact with Kokoro. I think the word 'kyun kyun' can mean a thrill, Kokoro's passion, or fighting spirit, and it generally refers to a hot heart, so I would like to act that out carefully and with care. Kokoro has made my dream come true, so now it's my turn to support her and make her kyun kyun so that she can shine brightly," she said enthusiastically.
Also appearing will be Misato Matsuoka, who will play Cure Idol/Sakura Uta, and Minami Takahashi, who will play Cure Ink/Soukaze Nana. Chiaki Kon, who has worked on "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal," "Back Street Girls -Gokudols-," and "Movie Happiness Charge PreCure! The Ballerina of Doll Country," will serve as series director, Yoichi Kato will be in charge of series composition, and Miho Sugimoto will be in charge of character design.
Ami Ishii, Akane Kumada, and Chihaya Yoshitake will sing the opening theme "Kimi to Idol Precure ♪ Light Up!", while Cure Idol, Cure Ink, and Cure Kyun Kyun will sing the ending theme "Trio Dreams". It will be broadcast on ABC TV and TV Asahi every Sunday at 8:30 am from February 2nd.
