Magical × Heroine Magimajo Pures!

Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! (アイドル×戦士 ミラクルちゅーんず!, Aidoru Senshi Mirakuru Chūnzu!)[4] is a Japanese television series that aired from April 2, 2017, to March 25, 2018, on TV Tokyo. The show is the first installment of the Girls × Heroine Series conceived by Takara Tomy and OLM, Inc. with the assistance of Shogakukan and EXPG Studio, aimed towards a female demographic between ages 2 to 6. The general director of the series is Takashi Miike, supported by a staff full of newcomer screenwriters and directors. The series stars Asaka Uchida, Suzuka Adachi, Yuzuha Oda, Rina Usukura, and Mio Nishiyama. The plot is centered on Japanese idol girl group Miracle² (pronounced "miracle miracle"), elementary and middle school girls who transform into Idol Warriors to retrieve the Sound Jewels, artifacts from the Music Kingdom, to stop the Demon King from taking over the world.

Auditions were held in December 2015, and the cast was announced at Ciao Summer Festival in August 2016. Filming took place from September 2016 to July 2017, combining elements of dance, song, and drama, with assistance from dance and vocal teachers at EXPG Studios and emphasis on cuteness and natural femininity. In addition, the show utilizes special effects for the transformation and battle scenes, which were later added after principal photography. The show also launched a brief singing career for the main cast, with Miracle² holding music activities in real life to promote the show.

Despite low television ratings, the show was a success for its primary demographic and was credited as the start of a "new genre" aimed towards elementary school girls, especially because of Miracle²'s music activities and the show's toy line. The series achieved a wide demographic appeal to girls, due to it being a live-action show centered on female interests, and with parents, who enjoyed the dancing and music. Two manga adaptations and a video game were released. Along with several dubs in Thailand, South Korea, and China, the show also received an Italian remake in 2018. Following the show's end in 2018, it was succeeded by Magical × Heroine Magimajo Pures!

Synopsis

[edit]
Main article: List of Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! episodes

The Music Kingdom, a separate harmonious world that guards music, contains note-shaped gems called Sound Jewels; the Sound Jewels together produce the "Song of Blessings", a powerful melody that purifies and soothes people's hearts. However, they are stolen by the Demon King, who corrupts them into Negative Jewels and covers the Music Kingdom in darkness. Through the Dokudoku-dan, the Demon King's henchmen, the Negative Jewels are used to turn humans into Negative Jewelers. The Negative Aura spread by the Negative Jewelers allows the Demon King to compose his "Song of Darkness" to conquer the human world. In order to recover the Sound Jewels, the goddess of the Music Kingdom sends the Fairy Rhythms (妖精リズムズ, Yōsei Rizumuzu) Poppun, Rockie, and Clanosuke to the human world to seek help.[5]

In the human world, Kanon Ichinose and Fuka Tachibana audition to become part of a new idol group called Miracle² with Mai Kanzaki, which was also partially held to recruit Idol Warriors to help Mai recover the Sound Jewels. Miracle² is later joined by sisters Akari and Hikari Shiratori of the American girl group KariKari. Becoming Miracle Tunes, the girls fight to purify the Negative Jewels back into their original forms to stop the Demon King.[5] As magic uses up Harmony Energy, Miracle² must harvest energy by performing as idols in their daily lives.[6]

Production

[edit]

Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! was a collaborative project between Takara Tomy, OLM, Inc. and Shogakukan, the publishers of the manga magazines Ciao and Pucchigumi. The production also included a toy line produced by Takara Tomy, featuring the magical items, weapons, and accessories depicted in the show.[5] The show was primarily aimed towards a female audience between the ages of 2 and 6.[39] The show was advertised with the catchphrase, "Live start! We're Tuning your bad hearts!" (ライブスタート！悪いハートをチューニング！)[5]

The story's concept was originally developed by Masato Nakamura [ja] under the penname Miyabi Nakamura. Takashi Miike signed on as a general director for the series.[5][40] Additional staff members included Yoshitaka Yamaguchi, Takeshi Yokoi, Kenichiro Nishiumi, and Ryusuke Kurahashi as episode directors, with Hisako Fujihira, Kana Matsui, and Mao Aoki as the main writers for the show.[7] The dances were choreographed by EXPG Studio.[5] Miike noted that the staff working on the show were young and relatively new to the industry, having little experience in writing dramas and working with newcomer actors.[41] Despite the difference in experience between Miike and the main cast, Miike's attitude towards the project was consistent with his other work, with OLM producer Fumio Inoue stating that they worked without dismissing it as "simply a kids' show."[3] Reiko Sasaki, the project manager at Shogakukan, stated that after integrating dancing and singing, she came up with scenarios on how to integrate the toys into the show.[42]

Principal photography for Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! began in September 2016[43] and ended in July 2017.[44] Transformation and live finish scenes were filmed at a studio in front of a green screen, where CG effects were later applied.[45] Nishiumi mentioned that scenes were shot with discussion from Miike, who wanted the show to be portrayed in a "cute" manner.[43] The staff focused on the elements of "dance", "song", and "drama", with dance and singing supported by teachers while filming focused on the "natural femininity" from young girls.[43][44] Miike also stated that the staff worked hard at bringing out the energy from the cast.[46] Episode 38 was filmed at Takara Tomy's office, with the live performance filmed first and the episode plot afterwards.[43]

Casting

[edit]

Auditions were held by Ciao and Pucchigumi in December 2015 with the aid of LDH.[47] Five girls were selected out of 11 finalists.[48] The winners were revealed in August 2016 at Ciao Summer Festival, consisting of core cast members Asaka Uchida, Suzuka Adachi, and Yuzuha Oda.[47] The first press conference for the show, depicting the cast in costume, took place on January 17, 2017.[16] Rina Usukura and Mio Nishiyama were cast at the same time as Uchida, Adachi, and Oda,[49] but were officially announced to the public during a press conference in June 2017.[29]

To prepare for their roles, all five main cast members took intensive singing, dancing, and acting lessons in the summer of 2016.[50] Ito was in charge of their dance lessons.[51] Nishiumi assisted the cast with acting lessons, which began in June 2016.[43][52] Prior to joining production, most of the main cast had dance experience,[50] including Oda, who had been part of the idol group Amorecarina[53] and Adachi, who had been part of EXPG Studio's female U-14 trainee team Kizzy and Bunnies.[54][55] Usukura was a 5th generation member of the female U-12 dance and model agency Roni Girls.[56] Nishiyama was the winner of Roni Girls' Catalogue Model Award in 2013[57] and the Smile Award at the Ciao Girl Audition in 2015.[58] The only cast member without any dance experience was Uchida, who noted that training was "difficult."[44][33] Oda choreographed her solo dance scenes with the assistance of her dance teacher.[59]

Broadcast

[edit]

The show was originally broadcast from April 2, 2017, to March 25, 2018, on TV Tokyo and BS TV Tokyo.[60][61] Episodes were also uploaded onto Takara Tomy's official YouTube channel one week after its original broadcast date, with each new episode available worldwide to the public for up to one week.[2] Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! was also aired in Thailand, South Korea, and China in regional language dubs.[61] Episodes were also screened with English subtitles at Chara Expo USA 2018.[62] Because television and commercials did not have a wide reach to the target demographic, project manager Reiko Sasaki attempted to use YouTube and other social media to have a wider outreach to the audience.[42]

A documentary titled Make a Miracle!: Until Miracle Tunes! is Made (メイク ア ミラクル！～ミラクルちゅーんず！ができるまで～) aired on September 1, 2017, as a television special. The documentary contains behind-the-scenes footage on the show, including the main cast's auditions and dance rehearsals.[63]

Music

[edit]

During the show's run, the in-show Japanese idol group Miracle² held music activities under Sony Music Entertainment Japan, with main cast Asaka Uchida, Suzuka Adachi, Yuzuha Oda, Rina Usukura, and Mio Nishiyama performing as their characters at concerts, live events, and music festivals,[64] including Japan Expo Thailand 2017.[33] The group's music was released under the name Miracle² from Miracle Tunes (miracle² from ミラクルちゅーんず!, Mirakuru Mirakuru furomu Mirakuru Chūnzu!)[31] They also appeared as guest regulars as their characters on the children's variety show Oha Suta.[65] Miracle² performed all the opening and ending theme songs to Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes!, as well as other songs on the show's original soundtrack.[31]

The opening theme song to the show is "Catch Me!", performed by Miracle², which was given hip hop, rock, techno, and enka remixes to correspond with the special battle modes portrayed in the show.[20] An updated version, "Catch Me! (Powered Up Version)", was released as a B-side to Miracle²'s second single, "Jump!", and includes Usukura and Nishiyama's vocals, which was used as the second opening theme song.[66] The opening theme song for the show's second half, "Ten Made Todoke", featured elaborate choreography that the cast found difficult to learn, but also contained simple hand movements during the chorus that children could follow.[31] The music video for the song was shot in one day, with the dance segments filmed at nighttime.[31] The ending theme songs included "Heart no Jewel", "Jump!", "Happy", and "Maware Maware." Other songs featured in the show include "Parallel World", KariKari's duet song, and "Kira Tune!", Kanon's solo song.[20]

Editors at CDJournal praised "Catch Me!", stating that the song was "happy pop tune with a bright pop EDM sound", and that it was "on the royal road of high quality teen pop."[67] Likewise, "Ten Made Todoke" was praised for its "mature EDM sound" despite the actresses' age and was recommended for adults who enjoy idol music.[68]

[edit]

An Italian remake for European audiences began airing on October 13, 2018.[4][71] The main cast consists of Giulia Sara Salemi, Emily Shaqiri, and Jasmine Roberta Molinaro.[88][89][61] Later additions to the main cast include Lavinia Mantegazza and Giulia Izzo.[90][91] The supporting cast includes Raul Navarro, Josep Ma Riera, Yuna Miralles, Angelo Pintus, Michelle Hunziker, Leonardo Decarli, and Greta Pierotti.[61] Roberto Cenci signed on as the main director of the remake, stating that he believed that it would be "successful" in Europe and that the show in general gave "important messages" to children.[61] Cenci put emphasis in singing and dancing in the show.[61] The show was filmed in English before being dubbed into Italian and Spanish for other European countries, and one of the filming locations included Manises, Spain.[92]

Reception

[edit]

Television ratings for Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! averaged 1% in nationwide viewership in Japan and about 5-10% of viewers from the target audience.[3] In addition, the official social media accounts had only 6,000 followers.[3] However, in spite of this, Confidence magazine and Oricon determined it started a "new genre" for shows aimed at the female toddler to primary school age demographic.[71] 1,000 people appeared at the first toy event,[93] and the toys were sold out during the Christmas season.[3] The show received over 100,004,000 total views when it was first broadcast in China in July 2018.[61]

The first DVD compilation box peaked at #19 on the Oricon Weekly DVD Chart and sold 1,444 copies in its first week.[94] The third DVD compilation box peaked at #13 and sold 1,291 copies in its first week.[95]

Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! was viewed as a new female counterpart to the Super Sentai series due to including female-oriented interests like Japanese idols, which were often seen in media targeted to young girls.[3] Other editors at Real Sound believe the popularity of Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! came from the revived interest in live-action tokusatsu shows aimed at a female audience, which had declined in the early 1990s due to competing toy sales with Sailor Moon and growing interest in magical girl series in anime format.[2]

Shogakukan project manager Reiko Sasaki stated that parents thought Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! was a new J-pop act at first, but the dancing and music had drawn in parents, after which viewership increased.[42] Sumiko Kodama from Confidence noted that the show's integration of J-pop elements in collaboration with LDH also made the presentation easy for audiences of all ages to enjoy, as Miracle²'s real-life debut would remind older audiences of Speed.[93] Eriko Ishii from Real Sound praised the show for paying attention to details that would make the show appealing to its main female demographic while comparing the music to Tetsuya Komuro and stating that parents who are drawn in by the J-pop appeal would also want to "cheer for them."[96]

As for the music activities of the show's main cast, the music video for Miracle²'s debut song, "Catch Me!", amassed more than 5 million views on YouTube.[97] "Catch Me!" also sold over 5,000 copies within the first week of sales,[75] with 3,000 people attending the release event.[93] Miracle Best: Complete Miracle² Songs sold over 31,000 copies, with 24,000 copies sold on its first week of release.[71] A consecutive total of 3,000 people attended their final concert tour in March 2018, with a total of 1,500 people for each of their two shows.[97]
