Trivia / Suite Pretty Cure ♪

---

• Acting for Two: All eight of the Fairy Tones are voiced by Mayu Kudou.
• Breaking News Interruption: Episode 6's original timeslot of March 13, 2011 was pre-empted for news coverage of the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami.
• Cross-Dressing Voices:
  • Voiced by Mayu Kudou, the eight Fairy Tones are males, even though Miry and Lary have very high-pitched voices.
  • Yumiko Kobayashi voices Souta Minamino.
• The Danza: Tomoyuki Dan played Dan Houjou.
• Delayed Release Tie-In: The episode introducing the Miracle Belltier was supposed to air on March 13, 2011, the day after its toy version got released. That episode wound up being delayed due to non-stop coverage of the Tohoku earthquake.
• Distanced from Current Events: Suite was originally supposed to go on a Darker and Edgier route, but after the March 11th Tohoku earthquake and tsunami happened, the writers changed the story to something more upbeat to calm grievances.
  • Because of the disaster, a scene in episode 6, in which the Negatone traps Souta in cake mix, the cake mix had the glittering effect added to make it looks less like the fluid.
  • According to the writers, this is also why the Melody of Sorrow was completed: the creators wanted children who were nervous about the event to relate to their heroines by having something that was on a similar scale happen to them.
  • Both of Ako’s parents were supposed to die as the show went on, with it being decided that a child losing their parents wasn’t particularly in good taste.
• No Dub for You: Up until this series, Precure had been getting dubbed in Italy by Rai, aired on Rai 2's kids block, and was quite popular as a franchise. Rai prepared to start work on Suite on schedule after the end of the Italian run of Heartcatch in 2013. Unfortunately, in 2013 Saban Brands snapped up the worldwide licensing rights, which made buying Suite far more difficult as they now had to negotiate a different contract with them instead of through Toei Animation. The effort ended when Rai killed the kids entertainment block on Rai 2, leaving only Rai Gulp and Rai Yo-Yo for children's shows, of which neither network previously aired anime. Rai ended up not continuing negotiations and thus the Suite Italian dub never came to be and the franchise ended its run in Italy. There have been no further attempts to dub any Precure series in Italian even after the worldwide rights reverted back to Toei.
• Out of Holiday Episode: Episode 6, which was about White Day (a Japanese holiday celebrated on March 14th) aired on March 20th, 2011 due to pre-emption caused by coverage of the Tohoku earthquake.
