What this is
A 15-piece orchestra performs the beloved musical catalogue of the Pretty Cure anime franchise in three Japanese cities across autumn 2026. Conducted by Hiroshi Inoue — the actual music producer behind the Pretty Cure series — and hosted by series singer Ami Ishii, this is as close to an official, insider-led celebration of the franchise's music as you can get. Each venue runs two daytime sessions, and special ticket holders receive an exclusive tambourine at the door. Note that Ishii serves as MC only and will not be singing.
Who should go
Pretty Cure fans of all ages, particularly families with young children who grew up watching the series. The daytime scheduling and two-session format make it genuinely child-friendly.
Good to know
Tickets for Osaka go on general sale from 10:00 on August 16, 2026, and for Sapporo from August 22 — check the official website for the Hiroshima on-sale date. Special tickets (¥6,000–¥6,500 depending on venue) include an exclusive tambourine handed out at the venue, so arrive with enough time before the session starts to collect it. These smaller regional halls typically have seated arrangements suitable for children; capacity varies by venue but expect an intimate atmosphere rather than a large arena. Cash is advisable for any merchandise purchases at the venue. As there are no livestream plans, tickets are the only way to see this — and with two sessions per day, the afternoon slot may be slightly easier for families managing nap schedules.
