Himitsu no AiPri: Mankai Buzzlume Live!

First aired on TV Tokyo in April 2024, Himitsu no AiPri follows the lives of two girls, Himari Aozora and Mitsuki Hoshikawa, as they strive to become the best in the AiPriVerse amidst fierce competition from their rivals. As the show approaches its 100th episode and nears its finale this month, one exciting way to commemorate the climax of the Poppin' Dreamin' adventure is with a movie! Yes, the AiPri movie is indeed happening.

Himitsu no AiPri: Mankai Buzzlume Live!

"Himitsu no AiPri: Mankai Buzzlume Live!" sees the movie debut of your favorite AiPri teams, ranging from Poppin' Dreamin' (Himari Aozora and Mitsuki Hoshikawa), Love Juriel (Juria Igarashi and Elle Rokudo), Jumping Rocket (Subaru and Otome Nanaura), VIVI & CHII (Vivi Hachioji and Chii Mamiya), Luminous Flora (Tsumugi Suzukaze and Ring Clover), and Quartet STAR (Sakura Ichijoji, Tamaki Nikaido, Airi Mitsuba, and Rinrin Shinomiya).

In this movie, Ring and Tsumugi have organized a race at the AiPriVerse, where the winner will receive the ultimate prize. It's a new challenge for the Poppin' Dreamin' tandem as they're going all out to win the race amid the heated competition. However, the Dark AiPri idols are out for revenge.

As expected, this movie features an all-original storyline that distinguishes it from the TV show, which is approaching its conclusion later this month. Your favorite AiPri idols make their theatrical debut, and it's an experience like no other, especially with the new songs created specifically for this film. True to AiPri's style, you'll hear your idols speaking during their performances. In short, this movie captures the spirit of AiPri from start to finish. You'll find yourself standing up and cheering for your favorite idols—but not for the Dark AiPri ones.

When the story of Himitsu no AiPri began two years ago, fans were already engaged with the latest installment of the Pretty Series. They celebrated by singing songs, dancing, and even debating which idol had the smelliest armpits. This movie serves as a way to thank the fans who have supported the show from its inception to the present day.

As Himari and Mitsuki's AiPri journey comes to an end, this movie reminds us of the progress they have made. It's time to return to the AiPriVerse with them one last time.
