■The first video comment of 2023 from "ikimono-gakari" has also arrived! (Comment excerpt)

I am very honored to be involved in a work that has been around for 20 years and is still loved today.
In a world where so many unimaginable things happen, I think it's very important to enjoy the world in front of you, and I hope that I can be a positive force to help the characters of Pretty Cure and the fans who cheer them on fight the battles they face every day. So I decided to write a song that would be a tailwind for them, that would make them feel positive.
I wrote this song so that it would be a tailwind for those who have been watching Pretty Cure since 2004 and those who are currently watching Pretty Cure.
I hope that those who have been watching Pretty Cure since 2004 and those who are watching it now will enjoy this year's memorial year with the music of ikimono-gakari. I hope you will enjoy this year's memorial year with the music of ikimono-gakari. I would like to send this message with such wishes. (Yoshiki Mizuno)

I felt the energy and power when I sang the song, and I cried a little while singing. I was moved by the fresh feeling I had when I first started singing the song, and I hope that my feelings were conveyed in the lyrics. (I hope that the song conveyed those feelings.)

Toei Animation producer Ten Washio (creator of the "Pretty Cure" series) comments
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Ikimono-gakari and everyone involved for writing the new song "Tokimeki" for the 20th anniversary of Pretty Cure. We were very happy when you agreed to our request to produce the song.
I believe that ikimono-gakari's music is filled with all the experiences and emotions of a sensitive period, including friendship, love, loneliness, love, anguish, joy, and separation. It was exactly like the main characters of "Pretty Cure," who are somewhere between adults and children.

Tokimeki" is a unique worldview of Kimono Gakari, but at the same time, the world of Pretty Cure has been very carefully incorporated into the song. To love yourself, to believe in yourself, to care about yourself... I cried a little when I heard the song for the first time.
And the theme of the PV that I came up with while receiving "Tokimeki" was "looking forward. The joys and encounters that come from looking forward while suffering and being troubled. I hope that everyone who watches the PV will be able to feel these things.
I hope that everyone who grew up with Pretty Cure and its emotions in their childhood, as well as everyone who will be exposed to it in the future, will listen to and watch it.
