Himitsu no AiPri: Mankai Buzzrium Live! Special Event for the Movie: Next-Generation Idols Take the Stage!
Himitsu no AiPri, the latest installment in the popular idol series Pretty Series, continues to captivate fans with its theatrical film Mankai Buzzrium Live!. The special "Secret Stage!" event held on May 16, 2026, at Tachikawa Stage Garden in Tokyo celebrated the success of the current series while building an exciting bridge to the future of the franchise. The biggest surprise of the event was the first public appearance of the lead voice actresses from the sequel series, Onegai AiPri.
At the event, Himitsu no AiPri's beloved characters Himari Aozora (voiced by Minori Fujidera) and Mitsuki Hoshikawa (voiced by Sae Hiratsuka) provided unforgettable moments for the fans filling the hall with their live performances. However, the biggest round of applause erupted when the stars of the Onegai AiPri series, which began airing in April 2026, Inori Konomi (voiced by Hana Ogawa) and Aoi Yumemiya (voiced by Rika Kanaya), took the stage. This meeting was recorded as an emotional moment symbolizing the passing of the torch within the Pretty Series universe.
The Pretty Series has a deep history that began in 2010 with Pretty Rhythm and continued with legendary productions such as PriPara, Kiratto Pri☆chan, and Waccha PriMagi!. Preparing to celebrate its 15th anniversary, this massive franchise has gained a modern touch with Himitsu no AiPri by exploring themes of "secrets" and "digital idols." The Mankai Buzzrium Live! movie, which was released on March 13, 2026, follows the characters in a competition called "Spring Float Race"
