PriPara (プリパラ Puripara?) short for Prism Paradise, is a Japanese arcade game by Takara Tomy. It is the successor to the Pretty Rhythm series of arcade games. An anime television series adaptation by Tatsunoko Production and DongWoo A&E began airing from July 5, 2014 to March 28, 2017. It was succeeded by Idol Time PriPara on April 4, 2017.
When the right time comes, every girl will find that a mysterious PriTicket has been delivered to them, granting them entrance to the world of PriPara, where up and coming idols perform and partake in auditions. Unfortunately, in Paprika Private Academy, PriPara activity is prohibited for elementary schoolers. But an unexpected chance comes to fifth grader Lala Manaka when she finds a lost PriTicket bag belonging to an idol named Mirei, leading her to the PriPara world where she makes her idol debut with Mirei.
In PriPara, Lala forms a unit called "SoLaMi Smile" with Mirei Minami, a pop idol and Paprika Academy's Head Disciplinary, Sophy Hojo, a major class idol who is born with a weak body and relies on pickled plums for energy, and is managed by Kuma. SoLaMi Smile faces rivalry with "Dressing Pafé" which consists of Sion Todo, a world-renowned "Go" player, Dorothy and Leopna West, a Canadian-Japanese pair of fraternal twins, and is managed by Usagi. To gain the legendary Paradise Coord, both teams merge to become "SoLaMi Dressing".
Lala also encounters Falulu Bokerdole, a vocal doll who was born from a PriTicket made with the desire of many girls around the world who want to go to PriPara. SoLaMi Dressing competed against Falulu for the Paradise Coord. After SoLaMi Dressing won, Lala exchanged PriTickets with Falulu, but it resulted in Falulu falling into a coma. After performing a concert in their Paradise Coords, SoLaMi Dressing revives Falulu, who has gained a more human attitude losing her robot-like voice and can trade PriTickets. After her revival, Falulu leaves Parajuku to go to PriPari in France. At the end of the first season, SoLaMi Dressing returns to PriPara learning that their groups have disbanded.
