Why it matters

The video lands on a Sunday when Nichi-Asa is preempted for ekiden coverage and Detective Precure! episode 40 waits until November 8, so the character's birthday and the ending theme carry the week the broadcast does not.

Key Facts

  • Nao Toyama released a dance video for "Why? Mystery?! ANSWER," the first-cour ending theme of Detective Precure!, on November 1.
  • Toyama voices Ruruka Moria and dances in the video dressed as Cure Arcana.
  • November 1 is Ruruka Moria's birthday.
  • Detective Precure! episode 40, "Ruruka's Answer," airs November 8 because Nichi-Asa is preempted for ekiden coverage.
  • Precure Pretty Store sells birthday goods for Cure Arcana and Cure Arcana Shadow, with the online shop opening from 13:00 on November 2.

November 1 is also Ruruka Moria's birthday, and Precure Pretty Store opened birthday goods for Cure Arcana and Cure Arcana Shadow that day.

Episode 40, "Ruruka's Answer," is scheduled for November 8 because TV Asahi affiliate Nichi-Asa programming is preempted on November 1 for ekiden relay coverage, and Detective Precure! is affected in most regions. The dance video fills that gap: Toyama performs the ending theme in Cure Arcana costume rather than appearing only in the show's credits.

At Precure Pretty Store, birthday goods for both Cure Arcana and Cure Arcana Shadow went on sale at permanent stores in Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Koshigaya Lake Town and Nagoya, with the official online shop following from 13:00 on November 2. Entry restrictions by store reservation apply throughout November 1.
