Theme songs and insert songs of the Pretty Cure series
Introducing the theme songs from the Precure series, the beloved heroines of 21st-century girls.
Back in the 1990s, Sailor Moon was the icon for girls, but since the Precure series began airing in 2004, it has taken the era by storm and is gaining popularity at a pace that could surpass Sailor Moon.
When the show first started, there were only two Precures, but more than ten years later, the number has grown to over 40.

Precure series theme and insert songs (21–30)
HeartCatch☆Paradise!Mayu Kudo
This is the first ending theme of HeartCatch PreCure!.
Among many EDs that, after introducing 3D CG, feature the characters dancing in their transformed states, this is the only one where they dance for about one minute without transforming, and they only dance for about 30 seconds after transforming.
It’s also well-known because Nana Mizuki, who plays Tsubomi Hanasaki/Cure Blossom in the show, has performed this song live.
Friend☆Roller CoasterMiyuki Hoshizora & Akane Hino
It’s a song from Smile Precure.
My impression was, “Oh, I didn’t know this song existed.” Even if you don’t know it, if you’re a Precure fan, it should feel naturally familiar.
This one is easier to recommend as a hidden gem.
It’s a track I’d like to listen to together with the dance.
La♪ La♪ La♪ Suite Precure♪Mayu Kudo
This is the first opening theme for “Suite Precure♪.” It’s arranged in a rock style featuring electric guitar and electric bass, making it a very upbeat track.
Also, in the later ending theme, a version with some lyrics changed, “La♪ La♪ La♪ Suite Precure♪ ~∞UNLIMITED∞ ver.~,” is used.
Wonder☆Winter☆Yatta!!Mayumi Gojo
This is the later ending theme (ED) of Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart.
While the earlier ED was themed around “spring,” this one is a “winter”-themed song.
As a result, it has a somewhat Christmas-inspired feel.
Starting with this installment, the EDs were split into early and later versions; however, in this series the later ED ran for a short period and was only used for 11 episodes.
Pretty Cure Five, Smile Go Go!Mayu Kudo
It’s the opening theme of “Yes! Pretty Cure 5.” From the very first lines it emphasizes the team of five, making it clear the song is conscious of the big shift in worldview from the earlier “Futari wa Pretty Cure.” With bright saxophone, guitar, and drum lines ringing out, it has a very upbeat, catchy feel.
Alright! HeartCatch Pretty Cure!Aya Ikeda
This is the opening theme of “HeartCatch PreCure!”.
It has an upbeat yet calm tone, and during the instrumental break, each PreCure’s name is called out.
The song is also well-known for being performed during the 2011 NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in the anime songs segment, where Nana Mizuki, who plays Cure Blossom, sang it together with AKB48.
HappinessCharge Precure! WOW!Sayaka Nakaya
This is the opening theme of HappinessCharge PreCure!.
It’s the first song sung by Sayaka Nakaya, a former member of AKB48, and it’s also the first Pretty Cure opening to incorporate character dialogue.
In addition, HappinessCharge PreCure! was created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the franchise, and both the animation and lyrics include homages to previous Pretty Cure theme songs.
