Star Detective Precure! has set a new milestone for the Precure franchise, with its first ending theme video surpassing 10 million views on YouTube in just 283 days. Toei Animation announced the achievement on November 12, 2026, confirming that the video had become the fastest Precure music video to reach the milestone.
The ending features “Naze? Nazo?! ANSWER,” performed by Akane Kumada and Yuka Masui. Released on February 1, 2026, alongside the anime’s Japanese television premiere, the video attracted viewers rapidly. It crossed 2 million views in 16 days, reached 3 million within a month, and surpassed 5 million after approximately two and a half months.
The previous record belonged to Kirakira Precure à la Mode‘s second ending theme, “Shubidubi☆Sweets Time,” which took approximately 16 months to reach 10 million views. However, that song still leads the franchise in total views, with more than 20 million.
Atsushi Nojima Thanks Fans With Special Illustration
CG producer Atsushi Nojima celebrated the achievement by thanking viewers and the staff who contributed to the ending sequence. He expressed happiness about reaching the milestone while the series was still airing and revealed that the ending production team had prepared a commemorative illustration for fans.
The illustration features the Precure characters and their fairy partners as a special thank-you to viewers who supported the video.
The anime’s second ending theme, “Itsuka Wakaru☆Kitto Aeru,” performed by Kumada and Masui, has also attracted considerable attention. Released on August 16, 2026, it accumulated more than 3.37 million views within three months.
Star Detective Precure! is the 23rd main television entry in the franchise. The series follows Anna Akechi, a 14-year-old girl who travels from 2027 to 1999, where she meets Mikuru and becomes a detective-themed Precure.
Crunchyroll streams the anime across several international regions, including North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
