Precure Bonus Day: YPC5 OP2/ED2

We’re solidly into the 30s now and the themes have finally changed, so I’m going to take another look at them. The new opening is basically the same, just a few animation changes, so refer back to my commentary from last fall for more thoughts, I’m just going to do a quick comparison. The new ending is where it’s really at though, and I’ll get a little more in depth below the cut. first, though, here’s the mini-gallery I threw together, as not all pictures will be included in this blog post: https://imgur.com/a/WwEx9ck

Yes! Precure 5 Opening 2: “Precure 5, Smile Go Go!” by Kudou Mayu

Second verse, same as the first. The only things they changed are adding Milk into a few shots and changing the attacks to be their new Symphony Set summons. Here’s some shots from the first opening, compared to the new one with Milk in it:

The Kowaina’s destruction was changed to be from Five Explosion rather than their individual attacks, and then the sequence from the first opening where a butterfly flies across the lunch table while they eat was changed to Milk chasing it through the library.

Yes! Precure 5 Ending 2: “Ganbalance de Dance~Yumemiru Kisekitachi~” (Dreaming Miracles) by Miyamoto Kanako

This is the big one. The second time, in as many years, that they have used “Ganbalance de Dance” as an ending. It’s completely remixed from Splash Star’s version and a lot of the lyrics are changed around as well. The meaning is the same, if you’re feeling down just dance a bit and you’ll destress and relax. I like the visuals, they keep Splash Star’s dance moves but spice them up a tad with the five girls. I appreciate them wearing their uniforms from Urara’s singing debut, they're nice outfits. The beat is light ska again, with bass, brass, and lots of clapping making up the instrumentation. Also a little light guitar thrown in the mix. The fairies cutting in as transitions is a nice little gag. Once again, like the first ending, the girls are in their civilian forms for most of the dance until the last chorus, where they dance as Cures, but the silhouettes in the background are still their civilian ones. SPEAKING OF WHICH I like the use of silhouettes here, they make for a neat background without a lot of work. One thing that’s lost from the Splash Star rendition is the villains dancing but.... let’s be honest, can you really see any of the Nightmare generals dancing? It wouldn’t fit. It’s a sacrifice that had to be made.

I love this little bit near the start when they’re counting up, because Karen’s face tells a whole story. Just look:

fun

surprise

hey

seriously?

Nozomi what

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the first episode with the new ending, episode 33, actually had an unfinished version in the first TV broadcast. Characters just froze where their animation was supposed to loop back, or a filter effect was supposed to be placed over them.

Episode 34 aired without an ending theme and episode 35 had the proper ending. On the blu ray copies I’m using, episode 33 has the fixed ending.

That’s been my little dive into the new music. Look forward to more Precure Daily coming to you real soon!
