Lucia, Hanon, Rina

Artist

This is the character-unit name for the trio of Mermaid Princesses from the TV anime 'Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch'. It takes the form of three voice actresses singing in character: Asumi Nakata as Lucia Nanami, Hitomi Terakado as Hanon Hosho, and Mayumi Asano as Rina Toin. Under this name they performed the ending theme 'Sekai de Ichiban Hayaku Asa ga Kuru Basho', singing of the bonds and hopes of the girls of the sea in three-part harmony. The series is built around 'singing warriors' who purify enemies with the power of song, and the very style of characters singing within the story is at the heart of the narrative. The ensemble blending the three distinctive voices has been loved by many fans since its broadcast as a body of work emblematic of the world of Pichi Pichi Pitch.
