Ikimonogakari “Ureshikute” (Theme song for the movie Pretty Cure All Stars F) Teaser

Ikimonogakari’s 34th single “Ureshikute,” released in the fall of 2023, arrives about two years after their previous work “BAKU.” Even after giving birth to her first child in 2022 and becoming a mother, Kiyoe Yoshioka’s voice remains unchanged—this song proudly proclaims, “Kiyoe Yoshioka is right here!!” The track also serves as the theme song for the Precure movie “Precure All Stars F,” wildly popular among girls, and it’s packed with clever touches like an easy-to-remember chorus and a beat that makes hand-waving natural.

It’s especially notable for its melody that feels familiar to both adults and children.

Don’t miss the double A-side “Tokimeki,” too!
