• The OP for Futari wa Pretty Cure. Pretty badass for a Magical Girl show. But then, this is Magical Girl as directed by the guy who did Dragon Ball Z.
  • And to ramp it up is the Max Heart version. "We have a Max Heart!" indeed!
• Two Words: Shining Star.

• The opening of Yes! Pretty Cure 5 is pretty freaking awesome. The heavy guitars add some kick.
• For a peppy shoujo version of your average Hot Blooded shounen theme, check out Full Throttle, the OP to Yes! Precure 5 Go Go.

• Who knew that heavy metal influences would go so well with a magical girl anime?
  • And lo, I looked upon episode 25 of Heartcatch Pretty Cure, and in the second ED, they didst make a gospel song! And lo, it was called Song of Tomorrow, and it was awesome! Hallelujah!
    • Even better is the English version!
  • Heart Goes On, which is Heartcatch's version of Shining Star and just as awesome! First played to incredible effect in the fashion show in episode 36.
  • As far as image songs go, Cure Moonlight's are among the best, especially this.

• Smile Yell and Heartbeat wa Tomaranai.
• On the non-Leitmotif end of things, there's also Pretty Cure no Shimei wo Mune ni, which pulls double duty as Cure Beat's unofficial theme song during her first few appearances.

• Every year, the All-Stars theme have a variation of the same theme, however the one for DX 3 shines brightest. At the moment, at least.
