Himitsu no AiPri: Ring-hen

Himari and Mitsuki advance to the second year of Paradise Private Academy's junior high school. The two Star AiPri members are popular at school, while Tsumugi enjoys school life in the form of her stuffed animal Mugi-chan. Meanwhile, Himari and Mitsuki go to the AiPri Birth to meet a popular AiPri model who is the talk of the AiPri club. They find Julia taking pictures at a photo studio. Himari and Mitsuki quickly become friends with the cheerful Julia. The two ask Julia to perform a live show. However, Julia says that she doesn't feel any excitement at the AiPri live show...

A new member joins the AiPri Club. Her name is Igarashi Julia. It's none other than Julia, the AiPri model. Apparently, she was excited after seeing Himari and Mitsuki's live performance and decided to join the club. However, Julia says she can't perform live until she can sing perfectly. Wanting to know Julia's true feelings, Himari and Mitsuki decide to ask her to teach them how to pasha. As a thank you, they perform live. Mitsuki realizes that Julia really wants to perform live. In fact, there was a song that Julia had always wanted to sing.

Mitsuki picks up a notepad in the library. It was dropped by Julia's roommate, Rokudou Eru. From the notepad, Mitsuki learns that Eru is a popular novelist who writes Aipri novels. Meanwhile, Juria, who has the complete opposite personality to the quiet Eru, lives in the same room but they are always fighting. Juria becomes depressed, thinking that Eru hates her. Hearing this, Mitsuki goes to see Eru. Eru has an Aipri bracelet. She confesses that she loves Aipri but doesn't have the confidence to perform live, so she became a novelist. Mitsuki invites her to join the Aipri club...

Paradise Academy's annual event, the School Cleaning Match, is being held. It's a cleaning contest between teams. Juria and Elle, who tend to fight, end up forming separate teams to compete against each other. Meanwhile, Himari and Mitsuki, who have each become leaders of different teams, are cleaning together with their palm-sized stuffed animals, "Puri Usa" and "Puri Neko". However, Tsumugi is jealous of Himari and Mitsuki who only show affection for the palm-sized stuffed animals, and runs off somewhere with the chicks that Mr. Matsuoka keeps. Will Himari and Mitsuki be able to find Tsumugi? And what will be the outcome of the cleaning match?

Princess Ring's butler, Shitsumu, makes an important announcement. The first Eye Puri Contest will be held! It's a contest to decide the world's best eye puri that will make Princess Ring's heart flutter, sparkle and be thrilled. The winner will be given an eternal outfit. To qualify, the "Ring Gauge" must be filled up. However, Himari and Mitsuki don't have much saved up... This time, the key is to succeed in the "Jewel Buzzrium Change" that Juria and El showed them. Mitsuki and Himari immediately go to ask Juria and El how to change into a Jewel Buzzrium, but...

Ever since seeing Himari and Mitsuki's live performance, Juria has become interested in duos. Eru has also been writing a novel with a duo theme. Encouraged by Mitsuki's words, Eru tries to invite Juria to join a duo. However, Juria has already received an invitation from another Aipri member. Eru is shocked to see Juria looking so happy. Juria encourages Eru, who is feeling down, and calls her out on a rainy day. However, the two get into a huge fight when Eru says she "doesn't like" a song that Juria loves at all...

Himari and Mitsuki are still depressed after failing to perform the Jewel Buzzlume Change. Mitsuki invites Himari to start training. However, worried that Mitsuki is pushing herself too hard, Chii gives Himari some advice. Himari tries to cheer Mitsuki up by organizing a "Mitsuki Love Party" filled with all of Mitsuki's favorite things. Can Mitsuki recover? Meanwhile, the first Aipri Contest begins. Their opponents are the duo "Love Juriel", consisting of Julia and Elle. Who will be the winner?

Himari and Mitsuki, winners of the first AiPri contest, will perform a debut live show in front of Princess Ring. Unable to hide their nervousness, the two join up with Julia and Elle and finally head to the palace where Princess Ring is. However, only those who are recognized by the princess at this live show will be able to meet Princess Ring. The Love Juliet duo perform a live show with excitement at full throttle. Poppin' Dreamin' also performs a dignified live show worthy of the name Star AiPri. After the two groups put on a fantastic live show, Princess Ring Clover finally appears before them...

A certain Aipri is very popular in Aipriverse right now. Apparently he is produced by a very talented producer, but he hasn't had any live shows recently. Meanwhile, Nanaura Subaru transfers to Paradise Academy, class 1A. However, because of his blunt and silent attitude, everyone around him is scared of him. Hiiro, who was walking in a hurry down the hallway, bumps into Subaru. Hiiro is scared, but when Subaru picks up something he's lost, he is surprised. However, Hinata sees what is happening. Hinata thinks that Subaru is scaring her sister, so she challenges him to a soccer match, but...

A famous singing teacher from overseas said that he wanted to produce Mitsuki. Mitsuki wants to take on the challenge, but is worried about leaving Himari behind. Himari is also sad to see Mitsuki go, but wants to support her friend's dream. Since then, Himari has started to work hard to be able to do everything on her own so that Mitsuki won't worry. After listening to Subaru and Wako's talk, Mitsuki has started to become conscious of her "new self." Will Mitsuki and Himari be separated like this?

Subaru has started singing again as an AiPri member. He is practicing alone, but the repertoire is not one that producer OtoP thought up, but something he came up with herself. Meanwhile, a transfer student, Nanaura Otome, comes to Himari and Mitsuki's class. She produces Paradise Academy to make school life more enjoyable. She also knows a lot about AiPri. Her true identity is Subaru's producer, OtoP. Himari and Mitsuki are surprised. However, when Subaru finds Otome, he suddenly runs away for some reason...

The second Ai-Pri Contest is announced. Himari, who has not yet been able to change into Space Buzzrium, is full of enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Otome tells Subaru that she does not need to enter the contest. Subaru tells her clearly that he wants to graduate from Otome's production. However, Otome insists that "absolutely not" and runs away without listening to what he has to say. Mitsuki, who gives Subaru advice, finds out that Otome and Subaru are from Ai-Pri School. Apparently, Otome was taking singing lessons at the time, but she had a "secret."

Himari, Mitsuki, and Tsumugi meet My Melody at the AiPriverse. The three become friends and make a guest appearance on the "AiPri♪My Melody Channel" broadcast. The event is to give advice to the My Melody friends on their troubles. Then, Kuromi appears! Kuromi answers the My Melody friends' troubles by saying, "Just be like me!" But how can we become like Kuromi? When asked, Kuromi tries to teach Himari and the other AiPri how to "be like Kuromi"...

When Jumpin' Rocket decides to enter the second Aipri Contest, Shitsumu announces that they will be eligible to enter by the end of the day. Unlike Mitsuki, Himari is not yet able to change into a Space Buzzrium and feels anxious. At that time, Umi, a first-year elementary school student and classmate Nagisa's younger sister, comes to class 2A. Umi says she is a big fan of Aipri Himari. However, she gets into a fight with Nagisa and runs out of the classroom. When Himari finds out that tomorrow is Umi's "day to work hard at the hospital," she chases after her as the deadline for the contest approaches...

The final exams are over at Paradise Academy, and summer vacation is just around the corner. Mitsuki is writing a letter to someone. Himari wants to perform a live show, but Aipriverse is currently under maintenance. At Aipriverse, Aimu and the others are making a big fuss, saying that a ghost has appeared. As everyone tries to find out the true identity of the ghost, Aimu and the others end up becoming engrossed in Aipri's live show. However, in the midst of all this, the true identity of the ghost is finally revealed...

Finally, the 2nd Aipri Contest was held. Even before the live show, Otome is distributing Jumpin Rocket with Subaru to enliven the Pritomo and others. And finally, the contest begins. Both Mitsuki and Jumpin Rocket showed great performances. The one who wins is the one who enlivens more Pritomo. Which hand will win the championship...!?

The debut live performance of Eternal Space Coord is held. Subaru and Otome of Jumpin' Rocket show off a dazzling performance. The theme of the 3rd Aipri Contest is announced as "Animal Buzzlume Change". After "excitement" and "longing", what emotion will be the key next? Researching Buzzlume Change, training Aipri, a summer vacation... Chii proposes a summer training camp for the Aipri club to do it all.

During the summer vacation, the "Aipri training camp" of the Aipri club has started. Chii runs a shaved ice shop in the sea with Vivi. Vivi is a first-year junior high school student who yearns for Ipri. Himari and the others are all playing on the beach. Then Sakura, Tamaki, Airi, and Rinrin appeared from the sea! He temporarily returned home from studying abroad to be a special coach for the training camp. On the other hand, Vivi helped the shaved ice shop and said, "I don't like myself, so I want to be Chii-chan." In the meantime, Chii, who worked too hard on the work of the student council and the work of the shaved ice shop, collapsed...

During the summer vacation "AiPri Training Camp," Sakura and the others are conducting rigorous training. Tsumugi watches Himari and the others as they work hard. During the Aipri Birthday, energy is returning to Tsumugi's Aipri Brace. Upon learning this, Himari invites them to do a live performance right away, but Tsumugi says she wants to do a special live performance. In order to revive Secret Friends ∞, a summer festival "Aipri the Summer" is being held, produced by Oto-P!

Vivi, who has become Chii's number one pupil, joins the AiPri club. Although she doesn't have an AiPri bracelet yet, Vivi desperately tries to keep up with the intensive training at the AiPri training camp. However, she pushes herself until she is completely exhausted and is scolded by Chii. Just as Vivi is feeling down, her advisor, Sarashina-sensei, appears and gives her an AiPri bracelet. Overjoyed, Vivi joins the AiPri-birth. Her registration as an AiPri is complete, and it's finally time for the live performance. However, when it's her turn to perform, Vivi doesn't appear on stage...

Vivi, who made a shocking debut, is being talked about among the PriTomos members as a possible winner of the 3rd Aipri Grand Prix. However, Chii is cold towards Vivi. In fact, she has been feeling anxious about Vivi, who achieved the Buzzlume Change at her debut live show. Sakura tells Chii, "There's something you're missing right now." Meanwhile, Vivi, wanting to be recognized by Chii, challenges Chii to a showdown. What will be the outcome of this showdown between master and disciple?

It's finally the final day of the AiPri training camp. With the 3rd AiPri Contest fast approaching, Juria is struggling with her summer homework. Himari and the others are trying out a live performance to qualify for the 3rd AiPri Contest. Himari, Mitsuki, and Tsumugi from Secret Friends ∞ successfully complete the Animal Buzzlume Change and secure their place in the contest. Chii tries with ease, but unfortunately fails to change into Buzzlume. Chii has lost sight of who she is...

The second semester has begun. Mitsuki's birthday is coming up soon. Himari is secretly planning a surprise birthday party for Mitsuki. Himari has heard from Yakumo that Mitsuki has treasured a ring since she was little. Together with the members of the Ai-Pri Club, she begins to prepare for the birthday party. Will the surprise birthday party be a success?

The third AiPri Contest has finally begun. Two groups are competing: Secret Friends ∞ and Vivi & Chii. Secret Friends ∞ have achieved the Animal Bazurium Change. However, Himari and Mitsuki can barely keep up with Tsumugi, who is showing off an incredible performance unlike anything they've ever seen before. And Vivi & Chii, whose Pritomo members put on a rousing live performance, is the one to take home the crown of victory...?!

With Himari and the rest of the AiPri Princess Club in the spotlight, Vivi and Chii takes on the challenge of their debut live show. After achieving the Animal Buzzrium Change, the two give a performance that is full of "true self" and confidence. However, the debut live show doesn't end there. Ring Princess, moved by their performance, says she will "give you a reward"...!?

The school principal and Nonose-san visit the Aipri Club. They tell them about an Aipri contest that was held only once in the past. In that contest, one Aipri won by successfully performing five Buzzrium Changes, which was called the "Princess's Miracle." However, it is unknown who the winning Aipri was. Himari and the others look at the records of their previous live performances to try to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Having missed out on the win in the last AiPri Contest and feeling frustrated, Tsumugi is currently training hard for the next contest. "I want to be a flower that sparkles more, that gives courage," she says, and so she goes alone to meet Princess Ring. Tsumugi asks what she should do to give a live performance that is as sparkling and cute as Princess Ring. Princess Ring decides to conduct a secret test to see if Tsumugi's feelings are genuine. Dressed in her school uniform, Tsumugi arrives at Paradise Academy, an Ai-Priverse school created by Princess Ring. What exactly is the content of the test...?

Chii is investigating the secret of Princess Ring. She hasn't figured anything out yet, but Mitsuki says she remembers something. When she was little, the first Aipri Princess Mitsuki dreamed of was Princess Ring. Thinking this, Mitsuki searches for a memorable picture drawn by Himari. However, when she finds it, she tears it up. Meanwhile, Princess Ring gives the Aipri Princesses a "secret test." Mitsuki is unable to concentrate, worried about the picture she tore. While Himari and the others are taking their respective tests, Mitsuki meets her younger self...

Himari is obsessed with fortune telling. Then her classmate, Ichika Kisaragi, calls out to her. Ichika is also a big fan of fortune telling. She says she has something she wants to ask Mitsuki. Apparently, her fortune told her that Yakumo is her "soulmate." After hearing Yakumo's dream of attending Dream Star Academy after graduation, Ichika declares that she will also go to the same school. However, her childhood friend, Nagisa, is worried about Ichika, who is not good at studying. Nagisa has always wanted to be with her, so she consults Mitsuki and Himari, but...

Juria and Elle become Halloween executive committee members and plan a fun party. Tsumugi invites Princess Ring to the Halloween party being held at Paradise Academy. When she thinks it sounds fun, Princess Ring turns into a Pricon stuffed animal and heads to Paradise Academy. Princess Ring goes around the Halloween party as Pricon, exchanging sweets and dressing up as ghosts. Meanwhile, she sees Juria and El, who are also on the executive committee, fighting...

Tsumugi visits Princess Ring. Princess Ring says there is still a lot she doesn't know. Tsumugi tells her she will teach her many things and they make a promise to meet the next day at lunchtime. In order to learn more, Tsumugi goes to the Paradise Academy library disguised as Mugi-chan. Tsumugi is excited to teach Princess Ring even more. However, she becomes so engrossed in the book that she forgets her promise to Princess Ring...

Princess Ring is worried because she has not been able to make up with Tsumugi. Tsumugi, who is also worried, visits Chii. After hearing about how to make up, Tsumugi heads out. Meanwhile, Princess Ring has not filled up her ring gauge and cannot participate in the 4th AiPri Contest. The reason for this is that Princess Ring has no one to whom she wants to convey her feelings, in other words, no friends. Tsumugi comes to Princess Ring with many presents. However, Princess Ring sends Tsumugi home without accepting any. Princess Ring is alone in the secret garden when Mitsuki comes to her...

The 4th AiPri Contest is about to begin. The participants are the duo Poppin' Dreamin' who consist of Himari Aozora and Mitsuki Hoshikawa, and Luminous Flora who consist of Tsumugi Suzukaze and Ring Clover. Tsumugi declares, "We're friends, but this time we're rivals."

It's time for the 4th Aipri Contest debut live performance. The first live performance was by Luminous Flora. After witnessing their amazing performance, Mitsuki and Himari make a decision. The two of them decide to withdraw from the debut live performance. What are Mitsuki and Himari thinking...?

Sakura, Tamaki, Airi, and Rinrin have returned to Paradise Academy! However, something seems strange. Everyone exudes a sharp, stern aura. Tsumugi says that she senses the scent of a "Dark Quartet Star" among the four Quartet Stars. Mitsuki tries to find out the truth about what happened to Sakura and the others. Have Sakura and the other four really become Dark Quartet Stars...?

It's the day of the three-way meeting to discuss their future paths. While Mitsuki's dream is to study abroad and study singing, Himari's dreams are still vague. Then, Himari's mother reveals her feelings to her.

On the day of their parent-teacher conference, Sakura told Mitsuki, "If you have the desire to spread your wings, it's better to do it as soon as possible." Mitsuki is wondering if it would be better to speed up her study abroad. Christmas is just around the corner. Everyone at Paradise Academy seems to be having fun preparing for Christmas. Meanwhile, Mitsuki is remembering something. She once met an AiPri around Christmas time. Mitsuki exchanged star-shaped candy and a winged ring with that AiPri. That AiPri's name was Ring Clover. But even now, she knows her true identity well...

Today we have a special project, bringing you a "Christmas Winter Festival" with everyone from Aipri! Following live performances by Jumpin' Rocket, Quartet Star, and Vivi & Chii, Julia, Elle, Subaru, and Mitsuki also performed solo live shows. As the excitement reached its climax, Princess Ring also appeared. It seemed she was envious of the fun-looking event. With Princess Ring joining in, the Winter Festival moved into the second half. The excitement of the Pritomo members is rising even more!

Mitsuki is asked by a famous song producer to send a promotional video. Upon hearing this, Himari declares that she will be the director and make the promotional video. With the help of Tsumugi, Hinata, Yakumo, and Hiiro, they begin filming. Under the cold sky, they somehow manage to finish filming. They were supposed to gather everyone together for a unveiling party, but Himari made a mistake in the controls and the filmed footage was lost. They try to re-shoot it, but Mitsuki ends up with a fever... What will Himari do?

The 5th Aipri Contest is coming up soon. Sakura and the others are excited to enter and uncover the secrets of the Aipriverse. Airi has decided that she needs a new song to put her all on the line for the contest. Airi boasts that she will have the new song completed by the next live performance. She interviews the Aipri and the others and expands on the image of the new song. Later, while talking with Mitsuki, Airi reaffirms her dream of "not just performing a live performance, but creating the live performance itself." However, she is troubled by the pressure of not being able to write a new song yet. Will Quartet Star be able to complete their new song?

The 5th Aipri Contest is coming up soon. Mitsuki has decided to tell Himari that after the contest she will be studying abroad in the spring, and that she only has three more months to be with her. And finally, the day of the contest arrives. Poppin' Dreamin' and Quartet Star will be on stage. Mitsuki tells Himari that there is something she wants to talk to her about after the contest is over. Himari also asks Mitsuki for a date on Valentine's Day. Even though she senses that Mitsuki will soon be gone, Himari takes on the challenge of the contest.

Three days have passed since the 5th Aipri Contest. Himari has vacated her room with Mitsuki and is staying in Juria and Ellu's room. It's lonely and painful to see Mitsuki. Mitsuki becomes worried when Himari disappears from her room. Meanwhile, after receiving "certain words" from teacher Wako, Mitsuki decides to tell Himari that "we'll be saying goodbye in three months." However, Himari doesn't want to hear them and starts running away from Mitsuki...

Valentine's Day is approaching, and six groups -Poppin Dreamin, Quartet Star, Vivi & Chii, Jumping Rocket, Love JurieL and Luminous Flora - are announced to be competing in the Final AiPri Contest. Himari and Mitsuki are preparing for their promised date. At that time, the two receive an invitation to a Valentine's Day party from Princess Ring. Princess Ring thanks the six groups of AiPri, saying, "I feel so happy that all the Buzzrium Changes are here." Subaru tells Princess Ring that he has prepared a special live performance for Valentine's Day. Wako-sensei is looking forward to the performance, but...

At the same time that Wako-Sensei collapsed, Princess Ring fell into a deep sleep. At Paradise Academy, Chairman Kindaichi began to speak about Princess Ring. In the past, Princess Ring had attempted five different Buzzlume Changes. Then, on the night of her 15th birthday, she successfully completed the Jewel, Space, Animal, Flower, and Melody Buzzlume Changes, miraculously achieving the "Princess's Miracle." However, at the same time, Princess Ring lost all of her memories. The true identity of Princess Ring was none other than Ms. Wako Sarashina. And in the "Secret Garden," Ms. Wako reunited with Princess Ring, who was herself...

The two rings, Ring Tiara and Star Wing, become one and show a light. At the end of the light is a book. To rescue Princess Ring, Mitsuki and Himari jump into the light that envelops the book. They arrive at the forest where Mitsuki visited as a child. There, a book bearing the Jewel crest appears. Julia and Elle realize that they need to perform a Jewel Buzzlume Change to open the book, and so they begin their live performance.

Tsumugi performs a live concert to bring back Princess Ring. She sings with all her might to convey her "courage" and "love," and performs a Flower Buzzlume Change. Meanwhile, Mitsuki and Himari are in the secret garden, looking at Princess Ring's memories. When Mitsuki was little, she wanted to be friends with Princess Ring, so she gave her her treasured star-shaped sugar candy. After that, the former Princess Ring successfully performed five Buzzlume Changes. Following Tsumugi, Quartet Star performs a live concert to achieve a Melody Buzzlume Change. They are a great success, and the five crests light up. But Princess Ring does not appear...

It's been a week since Princess Ring returned to Aipriverse. Life has returned to normal for Mitsuki and the others at Paradise Academy. Mr. Sarashina tells Mitsuki and the others about what happened to Teacher Wako. Mr. Sarashina is trying to restore Princess Ring's memories to Teacher Wako. However, Princess Ring and Teacher Wako end up going their separate ways. After the maintenance on Aipriverse is finished, Mitsuki and the others go to Princess Ring. Princess Ring has prepared the rest of the Valentine's Day feast.

The Final AiPri Contest has begun! The six participating groups are Poppin' Dreamin', Love Juliet, Jumpin' Rocket, Vivi & Chii, Luminous Flora, and Quartet Star. The winner will be awarded the title of "Eternal AiPri", an eye puri that will be passed down forever, and a special outfit, the "Eternal AiPri Outfit", that only the person who reaches the top is allowed to wear. The final contest has finally begun!

The Final AiPri Contest reaches its climax. Next up to perform is Luminous Flora. Ring and Tsumugi are encouraged by the cheers of the Pritmo girls. And finally, Mitsuki and Himari perform Poppin' Dreamin'. Mitsuki and Himari sing, believing that even though they are walking separate paths, their futures are intertwined. And so, all six groups have finished their live performances. The winning team is finally announced. Who will take home the title of Eternal AiPri...?!

The Final AiPri Contest has ended, and Paradise Academy is holding its graduation ceremony for Sakura and the others. However, Sakura declares that she doesn't want to graduate and locks herself in her room. Thanks to Mitsuki's efforts, Sakura is eventually able to come out of her room and gives a splendid speech as the representative of the graduating class. Chi, the representative of the current students, has a surprise in store for Sakura, Tamaki, Airi, Rinrin, and the other third-year students who are graduating. It is a live performance by Mitsuki and Himari, who have become Princess AiPri. The two sing with heartfelt gratitude.

At the AiPri birthday celebration, Mitsuki announces that she will be taking a break from AiPri for a while. Before that, she performs a live show with Himari. After their final performance, Himari declares to Mitsuki her dream: to become "a sparkling, glittering, star-like Eternal AiPri, even more amazing than Eternal AiPri." They intended to say goodbye with smiles, but tears well up in both Himari and Mitsuki's eyes. They promise to fulfill each other's dreams, and Mitsuki sets off with a smile. Then the seasons change, and it's summer—and Himari, separated from Mitsuki, is left...
