Well, if I remember correctly, in addition to the butterflies theme the names in Yes 5 were based by French perfumes/cologne which also coincide the series 's western reference & settings:
Dream - Incanto Dream Rouge - Chypre Rouge Lemonade - Pink Lemonade Mint - Jo Malone White Jasmine & Mint Aqua - Carolina Herrera Aqua Eau de Toilette。

Another year, another new Precure series.
The character designs don't look bad at all, and the plot is generic as usual, so this will be another series where characters and interactions will have to drive the show. Unfortunately, I can't be too optimistic, since I have no confidence in Toei's ability to write a good KR show (which Fourze is), a good Super Sentai show, and a good Precure show all in the same year. So between Smile Precure and Gobusters, one of those will probably suck, or both will be mediocre.

While I'm still strapped for information on Go-busters, information for this series just went up. The preliminary character profiles.
I am not a professional translator, mind. Cure Happy "The glittering light of the future!" Likes picture books, a cheerful, energetic girl. Optimistic and almost never gets depressed. Catchphrase is "Ultra Happy!". Her civilian form is giving me Akari Akaza vibes. Cure Sunny "The brilliant sun's hotblooded power!" A girl with a burning heart, likes to make people laugh. Works at an okonomiyaki shop. Member of the volleyball club. The group's tomboy, pretty much. Cure Peace "Sparkling light jan-ken-pon!" A crybaby with a strong heart. Good at sympathizing with others, and will never break a promise. Has skill at drawing manga, but is too shy to show people. Her design pretty much looks like 97% of all humanized Fluttershy art. Also, a manga drawing Cure? (Besides Kenji, I mean.) I'm in. Cure March "Awe-inspiring courage, an honest fight!" A bold girl who won't let people get away with unfair things. A popular, honest older sister character type. Likes cute girly things, but is also good at sports. Member of the soccer club. I can foresee her and Akane having some sexy tension with each other. Cure Beauty "Falling and accumulating, gathering on my heart!" Elegant, dignified and kind girl. Reliable student council vice president. Doesn't get angry very much, but you won't like here when she's angry. Member of the archery club. Her appearance reflects her demeanor. And there you have it. |

Now, I'm interested in Smile staff. Because really only producers and writers determine whether or not it's gonna be a shallow YPC5 remake that it shapes up to be. |

As for Smile Precure: * Cure Happy: the genki girl, nothing different from Nozomi/Dream. * Cure Sunny: a tomboy? Yeah, it's Rin/Rouge, but please let her not be screwed over this time. * Cure Peace: oh god, another useless yellow cure. * Cure March: huh? sounds like another tomboy, but there's already Sunny on the team. That hair in cure form is terrible, btw. * Cure Beauty: the student council vice president. almost like Karen/Aqua. Yep, it's YPC5, take two. Please let this be better. (Though with orange and green seeming to be redundant characters, I'm not holding much hope here.)

We haven't even seen her in action yet, calling her "useless" is a bit of stretch. She may not be the most assertive of characters, but a foil is needed for everyone else. (And if pixiv is any indication, the older fanbase loves her.)

Well people who are shy just aren't the type to impose themselves on others, whether socially or in a fight. From appearances, her role is to stand around and be moe, unless she's holding herself in until she goes ballistic.

I'm really looking forward to seeing yellow and green in action, seeing as they're basically totally new archetypes for the franchise. A sporty confident big sister type sounds awesome.
