And the fact that there are more idols in the show than ever before is a high point for me personally. I think people can enjoy it, no matter which idol they are promoting". Shibuya, who plays the role of Dorothy West, stressed, "The attraction is the large number of live performances! she stressed.

As is customary with the "Pripara" series, this year's theatrical version also features three different storylines that change from week to week.

When asked what route she would recommend, Akaneya-san, who plays the role of Raara Manaka, replied, "Of course, the Raara route!　It's a little bit noisy, isn't it?　Wasn't it really interesting with the little changes?" she commented excitedly.

Kubota-san, who plays the role of Sofie Houjou, who performed a new song in the production, said, "In the Hibiki route, there is a new song by Tricolore (a unit composed of idols Shikyoin Hibiki (CV: Mitsuki Saiga), Falul (CV: Chinatsu Akasaki) and Fuwari Midorikaze (CV: Azusa Sato), and it's amazing! he said.

Serizawa-san, who plays Minami Mirei, of course pushed for the Mirei route. Mirei also has a new song, so it's worth seeing at the theater! She also gave her own drumbeat.

In the latter half of the greeting, members of the idol group "WASUTA," who serve as ambassadors for the film, also took the stage.
