Prism Navigator Akkina
Nice to meet you!
This is our Prism Stone Shop.

We have the latest toys and the trendiest clothes!
We will be adding new items to help our girls sing, dance and dress to their full potential.
It'll be so much fun!
We will work hard for the next year to improve our singing, dancing and fashion sense for the next fifty-two weeks.
Prism Friends
My little assistants, the Prism Friends will be joining us!
Lets's get started!
First up we have Reina-chan. She loves to sing!
Hi! I'm Reina.
Reina
I'm a 6th grader.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, the honor is all mine.
What kind of songs do you like, Reina-chan?
I like happy, energetic songs, the MAY'S sing.
Oh, good for you.
Thanks.
I see.
Next, we have Mia-chan, who loves to keep up on the latest fashions!
Mia
Hi, I'm Mia.
I'm a 6th grader.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
So, what's the latest spring fashion?
I'd have to say the Valentine Style.
Yeah, that does look good on you.
Thank you, ma'am.
Yes.
Our third and final friend is Karin-chan! She loves keeping up with the latest gossip.
Karin
Hi! I'm Karin. I'm a 5th grader.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
What are the latest trends?
Ummm... Oh! These Prism Stones!
That's really trendy!
They're so pretty!
And they're sooo much fun!
I'm impressed!
And what's more, those Prism Stones will be crucial to the plot of this anime!
Really?
Wow!
I can't wait!
Sounds fun!
Yes, indeed.
So, without further ado, let's begin the show!
Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream is a story about three girls who make it to the big leagues!
Happy-Lucky-Go!
A Star is Born !
A Star is Born!
Aurora Rising!
There it is!
Kanzaki Sonata's legendary jump: Aurora Rising!
Whoa!
Ow!
Geez! Who did that?
It was just getting good!
What're you talking about, Aira?
Turn on the TV, sis!
Hurry up!
Huh? The TV?
Oh, OK.
The twelfth annual...
Figure skating?
Haven't you ever heard of the Prism Show?
Prism Show?
That's right.
It's an entertainment show to end all entertainment shows.
Fashion, dancing, figure skating and music are all combined to create the ultimate composite entertainment!
Why do you know about something like that?
It's common sense.
That's right.
Really?
Well, that's got nothing to do with me.
That's cuz you're such a klutz.
Hey, Onee-chama!
Give the Prism Show a try!
Wha!?
Um, I...
I bet you'd suck.
Uru. Eru.
I'll give it a try. Just this once, 'k?
Itsuki! Watch the master at work.
Hmph.
Wow! She's glowing!
Oh dear...
Aw...
Here.
Geez.
You're such a klutz. You shouldn't be pushing yourself like this.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm worried about your future career.
At long last, Takamine Mion shall be making her debut today!
Today, the Super Idol Mion is going to debut alongside Callings!
Mion?
Mion-sama!?
It's definitely something to pay attention to!
Oh, Mion-sama! I love you!
Today, I'll be showing off the latest Western fashions!
I look forward to your continued support!
Oh, she's so cool!
That hurt!
So who's this "Mion"?
How can you not know her!?
Mion-sama is the most famous teenage idol in Japan!
If you've read a fashion magazine, you've seen her stuff!
Her winks add to her charisma!
She's especially popular among girls!
She's one of the hottest fashion charisma models out there!
Wow. I can't believe you knew all that.
It's common sense. For girls, anyway.
Oh, I wish I could wink like her. Just once would be enough!
Hey, Aira!
Huh?
Could you run an errand for me?
I need more blueberries and kiwis for our cakes.
Sure!
Whatcha doing?
We're watching the Prism Show!
What!?
The Prism Show?!
No! You mustn't watch the Prism Show!
I forbid it!
Phew!
Aira!
You will run our patisserie when you grow up!
I simply couldn't bear to go on living if you said no!
Well, I'll be going now.
Hold it right there.
Yes?
You can't go out dressed like that!
Eh? But I think it's cute...
Behold!
No way...
I bought these for you! They'll be peeeeerfect!
No thanks...
Well? Aren't they cute?
Girls must always wear frilly dresses!
A candy theme couldn't hurt!
Hiro-kun!
How long are you going to procrastinate!?
You bought more clothes for Aira-chan!?
Oh, I-
You bought her a new outfit just last week!
How dare you waste our money!
I-I give up!
Lend me those clothes, Aira.
Eh?
What cute dresses!
Thank you, Mama!
My Pretty Remake's all done!
That's our Mama!
Waaah! They were brand-new!
Hiro-kun!
Stop using Aira to satisfy your crazy fetishes!
Aira!
Don't forget the ingredients!
OK!
See you later!
Take care now!
You're a klutz, so I'm extra-worried.
Whoa!
Geez!
You're jinxing me!
All done!
I guess I've got time for a little window-shopping!
They're all so lovely. I can't make up my mind!
Oh?
Well, these are cute, but...
Good grief. Mion's such a pain.
What'll I do with her?
Maybe a different skirt would suit this one...
This one's completely unbalanced...
I know!
This would work better with this dress.
This skirt would look better with this dress.
And the boots are simply stunning!
Just a few changes here... and here... and here!
PERFECT!
Whoa...
My Pretty Remake's all done!
Excuse me, Miss.
Could you please refrain from redressing our mannequins?
I-I-I'm so sorry!
Pardon me.
Woohoo!
Whoa, that scared the life outta me!
This store is simply adorable!
Their variety is second-to-none!
These accessories are so cute!
I wish I could buy them!
Wow! That dress is awesome!
The idols wear this on the Prism Show!
I'd love to wear this, just once!
Is that...
Huh?
Stars...
OW!!!
Oh, I'm so sorry!
Ow.
You OK?
I'm fine.
Thank you.
There we go.
See ya!
She's got talent.
Hm?
There she goes...
But still, that girl sure can jump!
Excuse me.
Yes, sir?
Might I impose upon you to come with me?
You have quite an affinity for fashion.
Huh?
Come on! Hurry!
What?
Why do you need me?!
H-Hey!
Please wait!
I love you! kimi wa boku no yume no naka de ikiru
I love you! You shine every night in our dreams!
Where's Mion?
Hasn't she arrived yet?
She's not answering her phone.
Have you seen Jun?
No, ma'am.
What are they doing?
Sho!
Hibiki!
A roller rink?
Mion-sama might be here!
Thanks, everyone!
Takamine Mion, who you've all been waiting for, is up next!!
Mion-sama!
Hold everything! Suspend the show!
Jun-san!
Sorry I'm late, Boss.
Jun!
Where's Mion?
Eh?
And who might you be?
Eh?
Um, er, my name is Haruna Aira!
Why are you here?
Well, that is a very good question...
Jun!
What do you think you're doing?
She will be participating in our Prism Show.
What?
Say whaaat!?
Are you serious?
Yes.
She will be Mion's stand-in.
That's IMPOSSIBLE! I'm a total klutz!
The Prism Show was created to bring forth one's true potential.
Even a klutz can perform a Prism Jump successfully.
What the hell's going on?
She's not coming out.
She must be having trouble backstage.
Will she be all right?
The show must go on.
But...
I too would like to participate.
We ran into each other earlier!
Who are you?
Amamiya Rhythm.
I'll explain later.
Both of you, come with me!
Hey!
Jun!
Let's go.
I-I can't do this!
You'll be fine.
It's my first time on stage too.
Huh?
C'mon!
Oh, dear!
Take these.
Huh?
What are these?
There's a dress inside!
They're Prism Stones.
They will be your costumes.
Wow...
They're beautiful!
You're on your own now.
Right!
Wha...?
Wait for me!
Welcome to the Prism Show World!
Whoa! This is awesome!
It's a veritable ocean of dresses!
Have you received some Prism Stones?
Yes.
Please stand on those platforms.
Yes!
Here we go!
That's our Star Co-ordination system.
It never fails. We even use it for our most popular idols.
Wow! It's so beautiful!
I can't believe I'm wearing this cute dress! It's a dream come true!
You look pretty happy.
Huh?
C'mon!
Let's give it our best shot!
You're really gonna do it?
They're getting rather restless.
Do you really think those girls can satisfy this audience?
Maybe.
We have an announcement to make.
There will be a slight change to the program regarding Takamine Mion's appearance.
Who're they?
She's quite a klutz, isn't she?
I can't dance in front of all these people!
I've gotta...
...be brave!
Let's dance together, Go for it! Go for it!
Do you wanna dance with me?
Sora no iro to haru no kaori
If you blend the azure sky and the scent of spring,
Mazete mireba koi no yokan
a portent of love shall remain.
Te wo nobaseba todoku kyori ni
If you stretch your arms as far as you can...
Wow! She's so talented!
Mirai sugu soba ni aru
...you will see your future before your eyes!
Hmmm... She's got some moves.
Yuuki dashiki mama no rouge
Be brave, try on your Mama's rouge!
Tsukete mireba mune dokidoki
Isn't it exciting?!
Sukoshi senobi otona mitai
You'll feel taller and more grown-up!
Whoa!!
Papa ni naisho dakara nee
Don't tell Papa! Okay?
Ima wa mada hayai to iu kedo…
You might be a little young, but still...
Gaman dekinai saa Let's, Let's Dance!
I can't take it anymore! C'mon! Let's, Let's Dance!
It would turn out bad if this keeps up, Sho!
We will go out if the situation calls for it.
Let's dance!
Mega tanoshii Mecha moriagaro!
It'll be mega-fun and very awesome too!
Muzumuzu rhythm ni norinori no rimakureba
A muzumuzu rhythm to a winding rhythm
Yanchana ko wa chansu te ni suru
Will give naughty girls a chance!
Itsu no hi ka kanau hazu minna no Pretty Rhythm
Everyone will get a chance to show off their Pretty Rhythm!
Nami no oto to aoi bikini hashiridaseba koi no yuku he
With the sound of the waves and a blue bikini…
…run forth towards love!
Oikakereba todoku kyori ni
If you can run fast enough,
Well, I suppose I have overestimated her.
Niji to yume soba ni aru
you will find a rainbow beside your dream!
What the hell is this crappy jump!?
I wanna see Mion-sama!
Kyou no namida asu no kibou
Today's tears shall turn into the hope of tomorrow!
I don't make the cut?
But why?
Honki daseba genki hyappai
If you give it your all, you can achieve a hundred times your best!
That was a spectacular jump!
It'll take nothing short of a Prism Jump to satisfy this crowd.
Nigedashittara yume saeteku
But don't run away; you'll extinguish your dream!
Mirai nanimo nakunaru
Anything is possible!
Don't forget about our trump card.
Suki na hito hontou wa iru kedo…
There's a special person in my life…
Trump card? You don't mean...
She has been sitting on the rink right from the start.
Ima wa iwanai saa Let's, Let's Dance!
But it's a secret (for now)! Let's, Let's Dance!
What am I even doing here?
Harune Aira!
Let's Dance!!
Aira! On your feet!
MEGA ureshii MECHA sawaijao!
It'll be Mega-fun with tons of excitement!
You're making your costume go to waste!
Sing! Let us hear your costume sing!
My costume's voice...
My costume's getting all crumpled...
And it's such a lovely dress...
I'm so sorry.
I have to get up.
I feel wonderful!
My costume is singing!
What?
I'm not done yet. I've got more where that came from!
Jump! Aira!
Fresh Fruits Basket!
Huh?!
Why'd she jump?
Wow!
That was a Prism Jump.
Just who is she?
Agh!
I-I can't stop!
Make way!
You're really something.
I don't know which alley you dragged her in from, but she could be useful.
Aira's not the only one with talent.
The Prism Goddess is also smiling down upon Rhythm.
Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream!
Prism Friend Reina
While we were watching Aira-chan and Rhythm-chan use their Prism Stones...

This is our debut!!
Hey, wasn't Aira-chan's Prism Costume adorable?
Yeah! She was so cute!
Sometimes, being in the right place at the right time can make you a star!
Let's try the Prism Co-ordination ourselves!
Pretty Remake!
The Star-style outfit's cool, but our Outfit of the Week is Aira-chan's Everyday Outfit!
Aira's Everyday Outfit
The black and pink complement each other well. They even make her look skinny!
In fact, I'm wearing that Miracle Outfit right now!
Wow! It's adorable!
See?
Try it on at home!
C'mon!
To become the girl you want to be...
...you'll need a Prism Jump...
...and Pretty Rhythm...
...Aurora Dream!
We'll see you next week!
