Welcome back to the I Am Anime website

It has been revealed that Sakuma Daisuke of idol group Snow Man will appear as a voice actor in the TV anime “Kimi to Idol PreCure♪,” which is airing every Sunday morning at 8:30am. From the fourth episode, which aired on February 23, 2025, she will appear as the “legend idol” Hibiki Kaito. He also received comments from him.

“Kimi Pri,” also known as “Kimi Pri,” is a TV anime that has been airing since February 2, 2025, as the 22nd installment of the PreCure series that began in 2004.

The main character, Sakura Uta, is a second year junior high school student who loves to sing. One day, he meets the fairy “Purirun” who has come to search for the legendary savior, “Idol PreCure,” and transforms into PreCure. In order to save Pullin’s hometown of Kirakiland, which has been put to pitch black by the boss of the “Chokkiri Gang”, he transforms into the legendary savior “Cure Idol”. The Uta has determined to “I want to make it a sparkling run! With my song!” and regain the sparkle of the townspeople that were stolen by the vest.

Snow Man’s Sakuma Daisuke has been confirmed to appear as a voice actor in this film. He will play the role of Hibiki Kaito, the character who will appear in episode 4. He also received comments from him asking about his honest feelings when he received the offer and his thoughts on the PreCure series.

Hibiki Kite is a “legend idol” attracting attention from all over the world and is loved by everyone from babies to the elderly.
However, he is currently on hiatus and is said to have been studying abroad to study singing. Meanwhile, he secretly visits the main character Uta’s house, Cafe Glitter, and meets Uta and the others. He is 18 years old, older than Utata.

Following Cure Idol, Cure Wink has also become a hot topic in the public, and Hibiki Kite is also attracting attention. We’ll look forward to seeing how he will continue to be involved in the story, not just in episode 4, where he will finally appear.

The TV anime “Kimi to Idol PreCure♪” is currently airing on ABC TV and TV Asahi networks every Sunday morning from 8:30am. The fourth episode, which will feature Hibiki Kaito, played by Sakuma Daisuke, will air on February 23rd.

–Please tell us your honest feelings when you were selected to appear in “Kimi and Idol PreCure♪.”
I was really happy as expected. I believe that PreCure is an incredible work that has already been established as a culture among Japanese anime, so I am extremely honored to be involved in that.
When I told the members of Snow Man about their joy, they also said, “What! PreCure!?” and were incredibly pleased, thinking, “What! PreCure!?”
Everyone said, “I’m rooting for you,” and “I’m really looking forward to the broadcast,” which made me feel like I’ve been pushed even more.

–Please let us know what you think of the character Hibiki Kaito, played by Sakuma.
What I felt was that Kite is a person who is very sincere in dealing with “idols.”
The small phrases and tone of speech are not light, but rather the desire to deliver what I am thinking and what I feel now with a gentle and honest attitude. He’s just a kind girl. I really love Kite’s way of life.

–Did you feel any similarities after playing the role?
I guess it’s how you deal with something when you create or achieve it. Kite is the kind of person who takes the initiative to help someone when there is someone in need.
I also like to create something together with staff, so when a staff member moves a desk or chair, if you think, “I think it would be faster to help out yourself,” then you’ll be the first to do it yourself. I want to do it.
He was raised as an idol, saying, “Be able to do it on his own without any trouble from others,” so I thought that was something that I could relate to with Kite.

–Please tell us your impressions and thoughts about the PreCure series.
I’m from the Futari wa PreCure generation, so I’ve been watching this series since it first aired. From there, each series has been created with various themes, and the range of PreCure has expanded dramatically.
In “You and Idol PreCure♪”, the theme is an idol that was surprisingly unlikely to happen, and PreCure and Idols are both close but far away.
I think idols are familiar to everyone, but with everyone’s aspirations, PreCure and the idols that are close to each other, it’s not only that they want to become PreCure, but also becoming idols like PreCure. I think there will be more and more children who want to become one.
I hope that you will see KimiPri, which is packed with various dreams and sparkling runners, and pursue not only idols but also various dreams.

–Isn’t it fate that Sakuma-san was called out in this work, with the theme of “idols”?
It’s nice, isn’t it? I’m glad I was an idol, and there are some aspects I can really relate to from the work that say things like, “You know this,” and “I feel like this,” so I think I can make use of my own experiences. .
I hope we can liven up “KimiPri” with Kite.

–Please give us a message to viewers!
Through this work, I think that even in my daily life, I will be able to feel more and more like, “Let’s do our best,” and “I want to support someone.”
I think it would be a great thing if we could cherish that feeling and let our daily lives shine through.
Be sure to watch “You and Idol PreCure♪” which will give you a daily feeding! thank you!
