Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! was originally broadcast from April 2, 2017, to March 25, 2018, on TV Tokyo and BS TV Tokyo.[1] [2] Episodes were also uploaded onto Takara Tomy's YouTube channel one week after its original broadcast date, with each new episode available to the public for up to one week.[3]

Television ratings for Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! were low, averaging 1% in nationwide viewership and about 5-10% of viewers from the target audience. In addition, the official social media accounts had only 6,000 followers. However, it was considered a critical success and was credited as starting a "new genre" for shows aimed at the female toddler to primary school age demographic.[7] The show was seen as a female counterpart to the Super Sentai series and focused on themes popular with the young female demographic, most notably Japanese idols.[8] Sumiko Kodama from Confidence credits that the show's integration of J-pop elements in collaboration with LDH also made the presentation easy for audiences of all ages to enjoy, as Miracle²'s real-life debut would remind older audiences of Speed.[9] Editors at Real Sound believe the popularity of Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes! came from the revived interest in live-action tokusatsu shows aimed at a female audience, which had declined in the early 1990s due to competing toy sales with Sailor Moon and growing interest in magical girl anime series.[3]
