We’ve hopped on board the Koe Girl train after all.  We’ve joined forces with SkewedS Translations to get the resources of both groups behind future releases of this series, and will be primarily releasing via SkewedS.  Curecom is providing TLC and editing resources.

This is a really fun show produced by TV Asahi for the 15th Anniversary of Precure.  It’s live action and follows the adventures of a group of aspiring voice actresses just getting their start in the anime voice acting business. Their talent agency requires they live together in a shared house, so that they can all help each other learn the business.

The main focus is on Kikuchi Makoto (played by Fukuhara Haruka, who also played Cure Custard/Himari in Kira Kira Precure À la Mode), the daughter of a greengrocer, who is scouted by a talent agent after she is witnessed putting on a mini performance for the neighborhood children using fruits and veggies for the actors. Her work occasionally crosses paths with Tomatsu Haruka (who plays herself in Koe Girl, and also played Cure Fortune/Iona in Happiness Charge Precure), who gives her little snippets of advice on how to improve her career.

The show is of course filled with Precure references, and uses footage from various Precure seasons as backdrops for voice testing sessions and so forth. And at least one of the girls in the house is a Precure otaku, and spouts quotes from various series periodically.

You can find the main release announcement with the download links for ep1+2 on SkewedS’s website, and we’ll try to keep the links up-to-date for it in our Series Directory here on the CureCom site as well.

We hope you enjoy!

For those that haven’t heard, Toei is producing a live action fictional TV drama following the daily lives of 5 voice actresses inspired by Precure, in honor of the 15th anniversary of Precure.  The main character is performed by Fukuhara Haruka (aka Cure Custard/Arisugawa Himari from Kirakira Precure), and features frequent appearances by Tomatsu Haruka (aka Cure Fortune/Hikawa Iona from Happiness Charge Precure) who plays herself, and occasionally provides advice to the main character.

It doesn’t look like anyone else has picked up subbing this yet, and we really want to see it done.  Our translator is pretty busy in real life these days, though, and won’t have time to do it unless we can find the Japanese captions.  Raws of this series also seem to be exceptionally hard to locate.  If anyone has a good source of raws for this, please contact us.  The 360p we’ve been able to find is not very good, to be honest, but it’s all we’ve got, and we’ll use if it we don’t find anything else.  Also get in touch if you’re willing to translate and have time to do it right.

UPDATE:

It was pointed out that a whole mess of our torrent links in the series database were pointing at nyaa.se, which no longer exists.  We’ve updated the index to point those links at one of the sites that popped up to replace it which had mirrored the files.  Sorry for the inconvenience the last few months.

WELP.

And by that, we mean what’s in the screenshot, it’s a real one this time, not a joke.  Yep, it happened.  This is a kids’ show, right?

–FUNNY PICTURE WILL GO HERE….. AT SOME POINT IN TIME….

Okay, I want to go ahead and release this, so I’m just typing stuff here so that we’ll have something in the blog which will probably get changed later Ipsum Lorum est, etc…

Anyhoo, below are the torrents and they’re also on the [PreCure]AllStars bot on Rizon.

After wondering where the hell we’ve been for so long, we’ve finally gotten the [PreCure]AllStars IRC bot on Rizon back online (as of early Sunday morning) with everything Precure that’s subbed in English that’s worth knowing about.  The pack list is linked on the right ☛

This also means our subbing workspace is back, so hopefully we’ll have some releases soon!

Well, right here, really.  We were supposed to be moving the server which hosts our IRC bot and our subbing workspace to a new hosting provider back in April.  One thing led to another with our server admin’s real life getting in the way, and the hosting for the old server wound up being allowed to expire before the new server was online, and then a combination of things has led to a several month delay getting the new server up.

The good news? There’s finally a light at the end of the tunnel.  The new server is now online finally, and we are in the process of setting it up and restoring the backups from the old server.  With continued interference from real-life stuff, and the sheer volume of data to be restored (it’s over a terabyte) we’re expecting this process to take a couple weeks. But once it’s done we’ll be back in business (and you’ll be able to download stuff on IRC again).

Most of you have probably already made use of our Series directory which has lists of links to all the episodes in every Precure series.  Kudos to CureGecko for initially putting that together and maintaining it.  Since Fresh or so we’ve been putting a screenshot from each episode on the directory entry for it.  Most of the series prior to that are pretty dull and bland because they’re picture-less.  If you happen to be watching one of the older series and see a scene which you think would make a great screenshot to represent that episode, it would be awesome if you could either tweet us @CureComSubs or leave a comment with the series and episode number, and either post that image somewhere and give us a link to it, or just give us the timestamp and a short description of the scene and we’ll find it and cap it.  With your help we can fill in all the blanks in the directory!

Did you think the Ponies thing was a joke?  Well, no joke.  It really did get Rika back to editing for us.  But the part about us only doing Ponies now, well, I guess that part was a joke.  Now that we have Rika back, have some Precure!

Regina decides to make a game of it, and the last Royal Crystal is at stake.  Will Regina really play fair?  Who will win the game?
