I like that she is both cool and cute" (Shimizu), "I like that she is energetic and goes straight for what she likes" (Iguchi), and "Her passion for what she likes is so strong that sometimes people around her are at a loss, but her straightforwardness in liking what she likes is her charm" (Hishikawa). The three new Pretty Cure characters, each with their own unique charms, aroused expectations for what kind of stories they would bring together.

Information about the "energy fairies" who are Precure's partners was also revealed.

Ms. Hishikawa, who plays the role of Yui, whose partner is the rice energy fairy "Rice-Come-Come," said, "I love Yui, and Yui loves Rice-Come, so you can see their love for each other in the transformation scenes.

Ms. Shimizu pushed Natsumi Hioka, who plays her partner Pam Pam. She is a really nice person who always supports me on set." "The meeting scene is impressive, so please look forward to it.

Ms. Iguchi spoke about the performance of Tomoe Hanba, who plays Menmen, saying, "I like her sweet voice.

Since the theme of the film is "Gohan (food)," each cast member talked about their memories of meals.

I remember picking potatoes from the field when I was in nursery school and cooking them together," said Hanba. I still think it is the most delicious food in the world. I tried to recreate it afterwards, but I couldn't reach the deliciousness of that time" (Hishikawa), "The taste of my mother's homemade cooking is exceptional. I think now that there is a hidden flavor of love in her cooking." (Shimizu) "We had a large family, so meals did not start until everyone was present. We talked about the day's events at the dining table. We would share and discuss about everyone's problems at the table" (Iguchi). The key words of the film, "ate with someone" and "full of love," were also mentioned.

When asked about "my precious dish," each cast member replied, "I have my favorite ramen, and whenever I have a good day or get over something, I go to eat it with my mother. If I go there alone, they are kind enough to make it in my size," (Shimizu), "My mother makes croquettes. They are not a special dish, but I can eat eight of them a day" (Iguchi).

Toward the end of the press conference, when asked about their impressions of the cast members, Shimizu and Iguchi spoke in unison about their first impression of the fresh Ms. Hishikawa.

During the audition, she appeared dashingly in her uniform, and instead of saying "Ohayo gozaimasu" (the usual greeting in the voice-over industry), she said, "Hello! (the usual greeting in the voice-over industry). I was impressed by his straightforwardness. She is a precious girl who brightens up the scene just by being there.

Yui, just as she is. When I saw her at the audition, I thought, 'She's so young! When I saw her at the audition, I thought, 'She's young! Like Yui, she has a strong grasp of the situation.

Hishikawa's youthful straightforwardness and flexible attitude seem to be her charm.

On the other hand, Ms. Hishikawa said, "(Ms. Shimizu) often relies on me, but thank you for accepting that with an open heart," and "(Ms. Iguchi) talks to me a lot and gives me lots of delicious food. She also gives me many letters, so I don't have to be so tense, and she supports me.

It was evident that the three of them are already forming a good teamwork.

The theme of the film is "sharing," and "when you eat together, the deliciousness is multiplied. （I want to convey the happiness of something we used to take for granted (before the Corona disaster)" (Shimizu) and "Eating is an important part of life. (It is difficult to eat with others nowadays.) But if you watch this work, you can eat together (with the Pretty Cure girls). I want to convey the importance of eating together." (Iguchi) "I hope we can share our impressions of how delicious it is. Eating together is fun, and you can learn about the other person. Through "Delicious Party ♡ Precure," they hope to reaffirm the atmosphere and charm of dining together, an opportunity that has been completely reduced by the Corona disaster.

It seems that every Sunday morning, breakfast with the Precures is a great way to start the day in good spirits.

In closing, Ms. Hishikawa commented, "I want to play the role with love and preciousness. We are very much looking forward to seeing how the story will unfold.
