The film opened in Japan in September 2025. It sold 283,000 tickets and earned 346 million yen (about US$2.35 million) in its first three days.
The film's story is set on Aiai Island during the Super Miracle Idol Festival, the #1 idol festival in the universe. Uta and the others join idols from around the world, but Uta meets Tera, a red-haired girl who despises idols. The film previously teased the appearances of the characters from the franchise's previous two main anime entries, Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure and Wonderful Precure!
New cast for the film include Maaya Uchida as Tera, and Ayane Sakura as Amas.
The five Precure girls (as voiced by their respective cast members) perform the "♪HiBiKi Au Uta♪" theme song.
The You and Idol Precure♪ television anime premiered in February 2025.
The story begins in Hanamichi Town with Uta Sakura, a second-year middle school student who loves to sing. One day while walking her dog Kyū-chan, she discovers a giant peach-like object floating down the river and encounters Purirun, a cute fairy who came looking for the legendary savior Idol Precure. Purirun's home Kirakiland is threatened by the Chokkiri gang's boss Darkiine. Just then, the "sparkle" of Hanamichi Town's residents is stolen by the Chokkiri gang. Uta proclaims, "I want to sparkle! With my song!" and transforms into Cure Idol.
Chiaki Kon (Eiga HappinessCharge PreCure! Ningyō no Kuni no Ballerina, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal) served as the series director, and Yoichi Kato (Wonderful Precure! The Movie!, Aikatsu!) oversaw the series scripts. Miho Sugimoto designed the characters. Rie Iida designed the art, and Tong Nian Chen directed the art. Kumiko Yanagisawa was the color key artist. Erika Fukasawa (Wonderful Precure!, Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure) and Misaki Umase (Kaina of the Great Snow Sea, To Be Hero X) composed the music.
