This is the first time that she has sing a song for the PreCure franchise. She says, “I am filled with a happy feeling to be involved in this long-running and beloved PreCure series. I sang this song with the joy of sharing the same moment and the hope that everyone’s circle of happiness will expand while saying ‘Thank you’ over and over again! I hope you will savor and enjoy this song filled with the source of smiles and energy! Please taste every bit of it!”
