Cure Operetta
Cure Operetta (キュアオペレッタ Kyua Operetta) is the alter Pretty Cure ego of Amaterasu Kiyomi. Like her teammates, Cure Operetta has the power of music, but she also has the power over fire. Her voice is very beautiful and powerful, which can give her enemies headaches. Unlike her teammates, she is physically the strongest. Her basic attack is Operetta Phoenix.

Cure Operetta
Kiyomi holds up her transformation Star Cards, and she inserts them into the Idol Bracelet. She then shouts out "Pretty Cure, Live Start!", and turns the rainbow dial on the Idol Bracelet, which begins the transformation. Kiyomi's hair grows longer and changes colour, and she runs into three large cards, and her shirt, skirt and shoes appear. She twirls around, which causes herself to be set on fire. Extra parts of her outfit are formed from the fire, and Kiyomi snaps her fingers to light her hand on fire, and she then places her hand on her chest, which causes the emblem and bow to be formed. She then strikes a pose before flying down from the sky and introducing herself.

Attacks
Operetta Phoenix - Cure Operetta turns the rainbow dial, which causes the scene to be turned into a concert. Cure Operetta stands on the stage, with her Idol Microphone already summoned. She then starts to sings her character song, and she shouts the attack name after the song. She releases the attack to purify the target.
