Toei has provided information and images from POP IN Q (????Q, PoppinQ), the 60th anniversary film from Toei Animation. The musical`s director, Naoki Miyahara, and production team have previously created dance sequences for the PRETTY CURE shows and movies. POP IN Q is the story of the special time in the lives of adolescent girls -- the transition from middle to high school -- and the bonds of friendship that can be forged during that period of hope, trouble, confusion and nurturing. On the eve of their graduation from middle school, five girls are pulled into a fantasy world on the brink of destruction. The world`s tiny inhabitants tell the girls that their only hope is for the girls perform a song of love and unity. But the girls are strangers to one another, and don`t trust each other enough to perform their task. With time running out, will the girls find the inner strength to save the day and get home to graduate? The voices of the five heroines are performed by Asami Seto (CHIHAYAFURU, AIKATSU!, SELECTOR DESTRUCTED WIXOSS), Shiori Izawa (THE ASTERISK WAR, DURARARA!!×2), Atsumi Tanezaki (WORLD CONQUEST ZVEZDA PLOT), Ari Ozawa (YOUR LIE IN APRIL, THE ASTERISK WAR) and Tomoyo Kurosawa (WELCOME TO THE SPACE SHOW, AIKATSU THE MOVIE).
