The eighth entry in the ''[[Pretty Cure (Anime)|Pretty Cure]]'' franchise.
 
In the musical world of Major Land, peace is protected by the "Legendary Score" and the Melody of Happiness contained within. On the annual performance of the Melody of Happiness, the Score is stolen by the jealous king of Minor Land, Mephisto, who turns it into a [[Emotion Bomb|Melody of Sorrow]]. To stop Mephisto from sucking the happiness from Major Land right then and there, the queen of Major Land, Aphirodite, scatters the Notes of the Score and sends them to Earth. She then instructs Hummy, the Songstress chosen to sing the Melody of Happiness that year, to go to Earth and retrieve the Notes before Mephisto can.

=== ''Suite Pretty Cure'' has examples of: ===
 
* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother]]: Kanade's mom. ''Seriously.''
* [[Badass Family]]: In a musical sense. Hibiki's dad is completely immune to the Melody of Sorrow because he believes music should make people happy. Her mother goes a step beyond this and can actually ''counteract it with her violin''.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Closed Door Rapport]]: When Kanade and Hibiki discuss Hibiki's past that caused her to stop playing piano.
* [[Dancing Theme]]: They did it again.
* [[The Dark Side]]: The "Noise of Evil". Benefits include the ability to create [[Monster of the Week|Monsters Of The Week]], a [[Hive Mind]]-esque ability to communicate with Mephisto, and a [[Evil Is Hammy|inflated sense of hamminess]]. Downsides include ''[[Good Hurts Evil|physical pain]]'' when you hear "happy" music, [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|glowing red eyes]] and an all-round increase in [[Jerkass|self-absorbed jerkassness]].
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: With all the talk of "true friends" and "we're breaking up", episode 8 seems more like a love triangle than it does a tale of someone getting between two friends.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: "Cat Paw Mania" from #2, "Wasabi Cupcakes" from #6 and "My Best Friends are Sweets" from #8.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: {{spoiler|Guess what Ako turns out to be?}}
* [[Evil Is Petty]]: To be sure, Mephisto wants to take over Majorland, but rather than actually rule it or anything, he just kind of seems invested in making everyone sad all the time.
* [[Evolving Credits]]: After Cure Beat joins, the opening theme is also remixed to have more of a beat.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Figure It Out Yourself]]: The teaching method Mr. Houjou uses (even on his own EIGHT YEAR OLD daughter!).
* [[Food Porn]]: Anything anyone from the Pastry Club (Kanade in particular) bakes might very well leave your mouth watering. Heck, a Japanese fan tried making the black spider cake from episode 4 in real life, and it came out pretty accurate.
* [[For Halloween I Am Going Asas Myself]]: Siren/Ellen's costume is a black cat [[Catgirl]]. Not that she didn't already give up her true identity in class...
** Also, {{spoiler|Ako is dressed as a princess in a yellow dress.}}
* [[Gotta Catch Em All]]
* [[Halloween Episode]]
* [[Hand Blast]]: Pretty Cure Passionato Harmony
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Ellen finally gets a [[Face Heel Revolving Door|permanent]] one in episode 21, going from Type II [[Anti -Villain]] to Type I [[Anti -Hero]] in that episode before finally becoming a straight heroine in episode 23}}.
** {{spoiler|Bassdrum and Baritone pull one in episode 42 but eventually get brainwashed by Noise by the end of the episode. They pull another one in episode 43 where it's revealed that they, along with Falsetto, were good all along and were all turned evil by Mephisto when HE was controlled by Noise.}}
*** {{spoiler|All three finally come around in the finale.}}
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
* [[I Was Just Passing Through]]: Cure Muse helps Melody and Rhythm, but claims no affiliation with them {{spoiler|until episode 35/36.}}
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Siren comments on how easily Kanade and Hibiki make up in Episode 2.
* [[Like Father, Like Son|Like Mother Like Daughter]]: In Episode 42. {{spoiler|Ako rolls her eyes, smiles and then says the same line that Aphrodite says earlier in the episode.}}
* [[Magic Skirt]]: In episode 2, the girls were hanged upside-down from the tree, yet their Precure and school uniform's skirts stayed as if they were standing on the ground.
* [[Meaningful Name]] / [[Theme Naming]]: The first character in Hibiki and Kanade's surnames are the characters for North and South respectively, while Waon and Seika's have the characters for, respectively, West and East, which led to many fans guessing that they would become Cures later on (see [[Lying Creator]] above).
* [[Mid -Season Upgrade]]: Taken to [[Lensman Arms Race]] levels. Melody and Rhythm gain ''three'' upgrades over the course of ten episodes: the Belltiers, Belltier Seperation, and Belltier Crossrod. Then five episodes later Cure Beat joins, essentially acting as a fourth upgrade by joining in with their previous attacks.
** Trio the Minor get a villainous [[Mid -Season Upgrade]] in episode 26.
** Also subverted when the girls obtain the Healing Chest. Melody tries to use the Crescendo Tone's offered power-up but fails miserably at first because she can't handle it.
** And then {{spoiler|a fourth Cure, to no one's surprise, is added, and Mephisto gets an "upgrade", followed by Falsetto once he's defeated. [[Lensman Arms Race]] indeed.}}
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: [[Megumi Toyoguchi]] played ''another'' character called Siren/Seiren in ''[[The Last Story (Video Game)|The Last Story]]''.
** And Hibiki/Cure Melody isn't [[Kamen Rider Hibiki|the first Toei character to have said name]], have music-related powers, and can [[Dual Wield]], too...
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Trio the Minor. After several episodes of standing in the background and acting as Siren's wacky sidekicks, the three are revealed to have gathered a good deal of notes on their own, whereas Siren has yet to gather even one. In episode 11, Bassdrum takes Siren's leadership position after Mephisto demotes her and immediately stages a trap that came much closer to defeating the Cures than any of Siren's plans ever had. Later in the series after their Mid-Season Upgrade they also ''succeed'' in suckering the Cures and stealing all of their notes save for the one they got from that episode's Negatone.
Line 65 ⟶ 64:
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: In episode 15, when Hibiki and Kanade discover Ouji passed out... on top of Siren. Naturally, Kanade flips the hell out.
* [[Odd Couple]]
* [[Off -Model]]: In episode 4, Seika, who normally is a bright blonde, [http://pics.livejournal.com/kokoda_koji/pic/00brwz9q unexplainedly has her hair turn darker].
** Siren is ''consistently'' [[Off -Model]] when viewed from a distance of 10ft or greater.
** Episode 29 is made entirely by this. Really, even people who doesn't notice when the art animation gets worse will notice that the animation of said episode is '''BAD'''.
* [[One -Woman Wail]]: The Melody of Happiness/Sorrow.
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: "Let the harmony of your heart echo!"
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: Trio the Minor's disguises.
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: The initial flyer for the series went out of its way to point out that both mains wore pink in their Cure outfits, putting "girls' favourite color on full display".
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Two ''at the same time'' in episode 6 -- while Hibiki's trying to stand up for Kanade's brother Souta on what he was doing, both she and Kanade ignore Hummy who has found a Note and is trying to tell them about it.
* [[Power of Rock]]: Cure Beat's guitar.
* [[Pun -Based Title]]: ''Suite'' means "a group of related pieces of music or movements played in sequence." It sounds like ''sweet'', and as it happens, Kanade is in her school's pastry club and her family owns a pastry shop.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Hummy, the Fairy Tones, the notes from the Legendary Score...
* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]: Hibiki as Cure Melody.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Episode 38 is absolutely ''loaded'' with [[Puppy Love|Souta/Ako]] ship tease, although there's been small hints here and there beforehand.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Cure Muse [[I Was Just Passing Through|(maybe)]]. {{spoiler|After episodes 35 and 36? Definitely.}}
** Siren [[Face Heel Revolving Door|finally comes around]] in episode 21 and becomes Cure Beat.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Siren's feathery neon-colored outfit in episode 5 is one to the Brazilian carnival. Maybe done on purpose, since the Brazilian carnival was being celebrated in the week the episode aired. The "butterfly-like ribbon" on her chest is also a [[Mythology Gag]] to ''[[Yes Pretty Cure 5 (Anime)|Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]''.
** Episode 30 has one to Satarakura Jr.'s game show dimension from episode 26 of ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (TV)|Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]''.
*** And speaking of Gokaiger, when Hibiki dressed up as a pirate in episode 37, one too many Captain Marvelous jokes were made around the fandom.
* [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Hibiki, or rather, Cure Melody. The show is decently balanced normally, but come battle time, Hibiki kills more baddies, gets the [[Upgrade Artifact|Upgrade Artifacts]] earlier, does all the [[Rousing Speech|Rousing Speeches]] and generally has everything revolve around her. Unsurprising, givng she's an expy of [[Futari wa Pretty Cure|Nagisa]] and [[Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star|Saki]], both known for being this as well.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Hummy and Siren, the fairies that can sing the Melody of Happiness (or Sorrow), are cats. Typically, caterwauling is defined as particularly awful singing. Doubles as an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]].
* [[Theme Naming]]: [[Musical Theme Naming]] is all over the place, combined with [[Location Theme Naming]] for Hibiki, Kanade, Waon and Seika.
* [[Theme Music Power -Up]]: In episode 27. Bonus points for being a [[Theme Tune Cameo]].
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Hibiki and Kanade usually said this before their [[Transformation Sequence]], to the point of [[Catch Phrase]] status.
* [[Transformation Trinket]]: The Cure Modules.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]
