The Pretty Cure franchise is often hailed for its good music, and what better first impression than Futari wa Pretty Cure?
- The OP
(Lyrics here) A powerhouse pop-rock number to open each episode. And to ramp it up is the Max Heart version. "We have a Max Heart!" indeed! This is one of the two songs that made the Top 50 Precure Songs list by NHK three times, reaching positions 1 (original), 5 (Max Heart version) and 11 (All Stars Memories version) respectively. - The ED is an upbeat track with cheerful vocals that highlight Nagisa's and Honoka's growing friendship.
- The transformation theme alone is such an absolute joy to listen to.
- Strange Occurrence sounds like someone mixed Metroid Prime with Magical Girl to great effect, and there is no problem with that whatsoever.
- Heart to Heart, which represents Kiriya's conflicting feelings for Honoka and technically his battle theme in Episode 21, is an energetically sad tango/flamenco.
- Shining Star is an uplifting and encouraging song that plays when the Cures fight the Evil King. Its excellent guitar solo emphasizes the Cures' much-needed strength.
- From Max Heart, we have Shiny Luminous' theme. It feels so warm and empowering that you can't help experiencing simple bliss every time you hear it.
- Cure Action almost sounds like something out of an 80s tokusatsu show. In fact, its composer Michiaki Watanabe is famous for his work in many tokusatsu and mecha shows before from the 70s to the 80s.
- Bonds of the 3 girls, so awesome it was used at least once in the other seasons of the series that Naoki Sato composed for (through Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GO!GO!).
- My Longing Person is a beautiful piano melody joined by a gentle flute solo that can put anyone at ease.
- Dual Aurora Wave plays whenever Cure Black and Cure White use Marble Screw or Rainbow Therapy to defeat their enemy in the first season. It’s as if the music itself is saying "Evil, begone!"
