Plot[]

In a place called Major Land, the "Melody of Happiness" is due to be played, spreading happiness throughout the world. However, an evil man named Mephisto steals the Legendary Score, plotting to turn it into the "Melody of Sorrow" to spread sadness across the land. Aphrodite, the queen of Major Land, scatters the Notes that make up the Legendary Score into the human world and sends a fairy named Hummy to Kanon Town in order to recover them. There, Hummy meets two girls, Hibiki Hojo and Kanade Minamino, who are chosen to become the Suite Pretty Cures in order to recover the missing Notes and protect everyone's happiness.

She is sent into the human world to search for and collect the scattered notes of the Melody of Happiness until she meets both Kanade and Hibiki.

She is also able to use her magic to recover the Cure Modules if they are lost. Hummy is very friendly and close to her childhood friend, Siren. Even after Siren betrays her and her nation, she does not see her as a foe, which often causes trouble for the Cures.

Fairy Tones (フェアリートーン, Fearī Tōn): Voiced by: Mayu Kudo

Eight special jewel-like fairies that came from Major Land along with Hummy. These fairies give Pretty Cure special abilities and powers when used by inserting them into their Cure Modules and Cure Belltiers.

Each of the Fairy Tone's names (excluding Crescendo Tone) are based on the Solfège scale (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Shi, Do).

Aphrodite (アフロディテ, Afurodite): Voiced by: Noriko Hidaka; The wise and benevolent queen of the nation "Major Land", Ako's mother and Otokichi’s daughter. She hosts the anniversary of the "Melody of Happiness" to pray for the peace of all worlds but is forced to scatter the Notes to protect them from Mephisto. She asks Hummy to go to the human world in search of people who can become Pretty Cures to collect the scattered notes.

Otokichi Shirabe (調辺音吉, Shirabe Otokichi): Voiced by: Keiichi Sonobe; The mysterious and eccentric tuner in Kanon Town, often found working on the town's organ. He comes and goes like a ghost in any music activity. During episode 36, it is revealed that Ototkichi is Aphrodite's father and Ako’s grandfather, and has kept watch over actions between Pretty Cures and enemies. He loves Ako, his granddaughter, very much and tends to gush with love when she is mentioned. He once fought against Noise and managed to seal him away in a fossil, and has since been working on the organ which can produce saintly notes should he awaken again.

Minor Land[]

Noise (ノイズ, Noizu): Voiced by: Ryūsei Nakao; Noise is a powerful bird-like demon and the main antagonist of the series, created from the sorrow of humanity. He is responsible for turning Mephisto evil, as his song can brainwash whoever hears it. Though Otokichi sealed Noise away inside a fossil, Falsetto has been trying to revive him by playing the Melody of Sorrow to draw energy from those who fall into sorrow listening to him. After Noise breaks free from the seal upon hearing an incomplete Melody of Sorrow, he assumes a chick-like form that Ako named P-chan (ピーちゃん), which he used to get close to the Cures and steal their Notes. However, he was soon discovered to be Noise after attempting to attack Otokichi. Once the Melody of Sorrows is completed, so too is Noise's resurrection. He resumes his attack on Major Land, and after absorbing Bassdrum and Baritone, assumes a more human-like form to overpower the Cures. However, the Cures manage to purify Noise, who they later find as a newborn chick in Kanon Town, reborn from the joy of humanity.

Mephisto (メフィスト, Mefisuto): Voiced by: Ken'yu Horiuchi; The secondary antagonist of the series, Mephisto is a childish and melodramatic king of the nation "Minor Land". He attempts to make the "Melody of Happiness" into a "Melody of Sorrow" to make all worlds tragic and reflect his musical taste. Mephisto has the power to brainwash others into doing his bidding using headphones that sound the Noise of Evil, but it turns out that he's a victim of the Noise himself, who was Aphrodite's husband and Ako’s father, the prince consort of Major Land. After being ambushed and controlled by Noise when he goes to retrieve the Healing Chest in the cursed forest, he establishes Minor Land. In Episode 36, Ako manages to defeat the evil in his heart and return him back to normal. Like his father-in-law, Mephisto tends to gush about Ako.

Trio the Minor (トリオ・ザ・マイナー, Torio Za Mainā): The loyal servants of Mephisto. Although they live to serve Mephisto, they often squabble with each other over who gets to be the leader. In episode 26, Mephisto uses the hypnosis earplugs to increase their powers, as well as make more powerful Negatones. While the Trio the Minor came from Major Land and worked for the royalty, only Falsetto willingly allied himself to Noise while Bassdrum and Baritone were placed under the being's spell to serve him. The three were eventually absorbed by Noise, with Falsetto consumed for being annoying while Bassdrum and Baritone sacrificed themselves to protect Hibiki.

Falsetto (ファルセット, Farusetto)

Voiced by: Tooru Nara

The tenor of "Trio the Minor" who sings in a high pitched and very off-key voice. After his powers are upgraded, he gains enhanced hearing along with a whip-like weapon.

After he assumes leadership, he turns the other two into monsters resembling aquatic animals.

Negatones (ネガトーン, Negatōn): Voiced by: Yohei Obayashi; The Negatones are the series' monsters of the week, created when a scattered Note is exposed to the Melody of Sorrow. The corrupted note then combines with a nearby item to form a monster that spreads the Melody of Sorrow, causing people to despair. When they are defeated by the Pretty Cures, they return to the original item while the Notes are purified by Hummy and stored inside one of the Fairy Tones.
