## Production

Upon the great success of Idol x Warrior Miracle Tunes in Japan, it was reported that an English version was in the works. Mediterraneo Media, an Italian production house, would be in charge of filming.

The director, Roberto Cenci, believed that the series would be "successful" in Europe and that the show, in general, gave "important messages" to children. Cenci put emphasis on singing and dancing in the show. The show was filmed entirely in English before being dubbed into Italian and Spanish for other European countries.

Miracle Tunes was recorded in the facilities of the Feria de Muestras in Valencia, where the sets were built in a 2,000 square meter warehouse and in various locations in the province such as Burjasot, Manises, Benisanó, Loriguilla, La Eliana and Puerto de Sagunto, including the spaces of the capital of Turia, such as Parque de Cabecera or Bioparc. More than 150 Spanish technicians, 30 Italian technicians, 70 actors and actresses, and over 650 extras have worked for over two months of preparation and 17 weeks of recording in the largest television production that has so far been filmed in the Valencian Community. The project has invested over 3 million euros in filming.[*citation needed*]

## Plot

*Miracle Tunes! Italy Episode List*
There is a kingdom separated from the human world called "The Kingdom of Music". In this land, there are treasures called "Jewels of Music", capable of giving special powers to anyone who owns them. Demon, the Lord of Darkness, who plans to conquer the world discovers them and takes them away. Using his dark power he transforms the jewels into "Negative Jewels" so that the people who collect them become evil and try to spread an "aura of negativity" on all those around them. To recover the Jewels of Music, three Elves of the Kingdom of Music, Poppun, Rocky, and Benji, receive the task from the Goddess of Music to go to the human world and find three idols with which to collaborate, so as to form the Miracle Tunes, a group of warriors.

To save the world, the girls will use the power of the Jewels of Music to defeat evil, while singing and dancing to purify the Negative Jewels and thus bring them back to their original states.
