However, an unexpected incident disrupts the competition. The movie will also include a special concert segment, with fans encouraged to cheer during screenings.
The idol-themed Pretty Series franchise began with its first arcade game, Pretty Rhythm: Mini Skirt, released in July 2010. It later expanded into three Pretty Rhythm TV anime series that aired from 2011 to 2014.
The franchise was then succeeded by two Pripara series—Pripara and Idol Time Pripara—which ran from 2014 to 2018, followed by Kiratto Pri☆Chan from 2018 to 2021, and finally Waccha Primagi! from 2021 to 2022.
