The "Pretty Series" franchise, known for its mix of singing, dancing, and fashion, is launching a new TV anime series titled "Secret Aipuri" in April. The series is a first for the franchise, as it features two main characters: Himari Aozora, voiced by Midori Fujitemple, and Mitsuki Hoshikawa, voiced by Sai Hiratsuka.
"Secret Aipuri" is based on the essence of "secrets" and addresses the yearnings and desires for change in children. The term "Aipuri" is an abbreviation for "Idol Princess," and the protagonists embark on an adventurous journey to a "secret world" to become Aipuri. The series continues the lineage that began in 2010 with the entertainment game "Pretty Rhythm Mini Skirt," followed by various games and anime such as "Pretty Rhythm," "PriPara," "Kiratto Pri☆Chan," and "Waccha PriMagi!"
Himari Aozora, a shy but ambitious girl who dreamed of having ten thousand friends, unexpectedly becomes an Aipuri. At the age of 17, Midori Fujitemple, the voice of Himari, made her debut at the "NEXT Voice Actor Artist Audition" for the "Pretty Series" 10th Anniversary Project. Mitsuki Hoshikawa, voiced by Sai Hiratsuka, is known for her role as Meiko in "Boku wa Roboco." The story of their friendship is one of the highlights of the series.
The anime was directed by Junichi Fujisaku and Kentaro Yamaguchi, with series composition by Juemon Ichikawa. The character designs were created by Yuki Nagan, based on original concepts by Yumi Nashimoto (Syn Sophia). The CG direction was handled by Satoshi Yanagawa, the music by Izumi Mori (bransic), and the sound by Noriyoshi Onuma. The animation production is a collaborative effort by OLM and Dongwoo A & E.
