Morning Musume '15 X Precure

It has been announced that Morning Musume '15 will be doing the theme song for the upcoming Precure movie. The movie will come out March 14th and not only will MM'15 be doing the theme song but they will also perform a dance with the Precure characters during the ending credits as well as three members of the group having roles in the film.

Iikubo Haruna, Ishida Ayumi and Oda Sakura will have a voice acting role in the movie, they will play fairies, which have been especially designed for them. For all three this will be the first time voice acting.


Personally I'm rather excited for the news. It is always great to get tie-ins like this for an idol group and if anything this does help explain why things have been so quiet in regards to a new music release for MM '15. Of course I have the feeling that this song will only be the first A-side for an upcoming single and we will get something else. If it was meant to be the only A-side then we should have gotten a single release announcement with this. But hopefully all that will be around the corner. They do have a concert tour coming up which would be perfect for rolling out new information and songs with.

That said I am of course happy to see Sakura get a project like this. But honestly Sakura doing anything makes me happy. But hopefully with this she, Haruna and Ayumi get some good chances to promote together, especially Haruna as she is a manga/anime fan so I am certain she is the most excited for this.

I do like that the outfits for this have everyone split by generation, minus of course the one lone generation girl. I do think it is odd to see Sakura being lumped in with the 12th Gen and not 10th Gen as she has been since basically her debut. But I think it may be because Haruna is 9th, Ayuma is 10th then having Sakura in the same color as 12th means the three will have a different color if they are doing something as a trio.
