Since it is the 30th of June, Usagi's birthday, I thought I might finally post this thing that has been in my drafts for some months lol
Let's go!
So ever since the end of Musical Festival Chronicle, I've been thinking about what would be the next Sera Myu we get? During the Senshuuraku of Chronicle, Riko mentioned that when Kaguya-hime no Koibito ended, they weren't sure if Sera Myu would continue so most likely the same thing applies now. It might be possible Myu might end but we had Super Live this year so there are chances. Many might think that since the Crystal series finally comes to an end, so does anything else related to Sailor Moon, but it is very much certain that they will keep pushing out merch as it has been very profitable so far and even the Sailor Moon Museum announced that it will reopen in 2024 so there might be more musicals just like back in the day! Although we still haven't gotten any news regarding it and I for sure thought we would get some new info today... ANYWAY we have gone through all the main 5 arcs, one short story and one original so what next? I have a few ideas. (check terms at the end of the post if confused)
1) Third installment in the Snow Kaguya series
For me, it didn't really seem like Snow Kaguya was fully defeated in Chronicle, as she was defeated in the same way as she was in KHnK so it feels super random that she would be defeated NOW so maybe they could do one more musical to finally defeat Princess Snow Kaguya (maybe as Eternal Sailor Moon)
2) Something completely new
It could be possible we might get something completely new and original. Who knows? lol
3) R movie or SuperS movie
Ever since KHnK, people have been wondering if the other two movies would be made into a musical, although KHnK bore no resemblance to the movie as it pretty much followed the manga short story to the T, it is still possible that the other two movies will be made into musicals.
4) Another Story musical
ah the forgotten gem in the SM universe. I really love Another Story and I wish it would get more recognition. And since they are going with the Super/Mugen arc theme as KHnK takes place around that time and Another Story is supposed to take place after the Mugen arc so it could be a possibility. How it works in action is kinda ? as Another Story featured every major villain from Dark Kingdom arc to Mugen arc but they could focus it on the Oppositio Senshi and Apsu. It also would be cool if previous Senshi actors would return as the Oppositio Senshi (for example, AE Inners)
5) Kaguya Shima Densetsu/Snow Kaguya hybrid
So this is kind of similiar to my #1 idea but I feel like this needed to be its own thing. It could be possible that they'd fuse these two stories into one where Snow Kaguya replaces Dark Plasman and she is somehow connected to Kaguya Island since they have the same name(although she was given that name by Kakeru but who knows. Myulore tends to be confusing sometimes lol). And the reason for this is that I think that we will not get Kaguya Shima Densetsu remade and I will get to that soon
6) The Dracul series remake
I have my doubts about this since the Dracul series tends to be kinda confusing and since it's a story that requires all 3/4 musicals to be watched and that all to happen in the span of 3 years would be kinda hard to follow (during BanMyu it only took about a year and a half as they did multiple musicals in the span of one year but now they are doing only one musical a year, not counting Super Live). And the 4 musicals had way too many plot points in them so it would be fairly impossible to put that all in one musical. Also, it had kinda dark stuff in it so not sure if it would be allowed to be performed in this day and age lmao. (But I actually had a dream some time ago that Sayaka Okamura(Snow Kaguya) sang Muma no Oodri as Death Lamia so yeah lol)
7) Sailor V musical
I think the best point for a Sailor V musical would have been in 2018 after LMF as the main story has ended and the cast at the time had had their "graduation". So as much as I want a Sailor V musical I do not really see them doing it now when they have a cast of all the Senshi (unless they decide to do multiple musicals a year)
8) Kaguya Shima Densetsu remake
I do not see this happening as of now cause I just cannot see Dark Plasman played by a woman. I do not mean this with the intent to hurt anyone's feelings or to attack those who are fans of the all-female cast. It's just that Dark Plasman has such a deep voice that I just don't think it would be possible, or if they did, I think I would personally not enjoy it. I mean, if there is someone who has a deep voice like that, I would be happy to see it, but it just seems kinda unlikely as the deepest voice we have had in NewMyu this far are Syu Shiotsuki (UNV-LMF Sailor Uranus) and Kei Oogi (UNV Kaolinite). So unless they return to the mixed cast they had in BanMyu I do not see Kaguya Shima Densetsu happening in its original form in any way in the near future.
9) Other side stories
This is kinda random but maybe they could make musicals from other side stories. This seems very unlikely tho as the other side stories are a lot shorter and KHnK (unless they decide to make the Exam Battles into one musical or something idk) Demon Tree arc is also a possibility
10) NogiMyu R
Don't really see this happening as it has been quite a long time since the previous NogiMyu (although Super Live made a comeback so who knows). The only things to support this are the facts that at the end of NogiMyu they teased us with the Black Moon arc and ever since then it's been a possibility. Also on the Official Sailor Moon website, NogiMyu is still listed in the "Stage" section even after all this time so maybe they could be planning something with it. But if NogiMyu does make a comeback, I hope they do not do the DK arc AGAIN.
So there are many possibilities but will any of them come true? Who knows lol

Q: If you ever have to fight villains like Sailor Moon and her friends, what would be your fighting style?

Q: A few words about the character you play.
When I was 4 years old I fell with the canny and cool Rei. And when I found out that we had the same name, I felt it was fate.

At the beginning, it was. a bit difficult to communicate due to the tension and corona but now everyone has become irreplaceable friends to me!
Q: If you ever have to fight villains like Sailor Moon and her friends, what would be your fighting style?
If I fight, I will fight like in my favorite RPG games and defeat evil! In the game, I can become as strong in mind and body as the Sailor Soldiers. I want to collect the strongest characters from all over the world and defeat evil and protect the world! Or course if possible, i would rather discuss and solve the problem without fighting.
Q: A few words about the character you play.
At first I was very nervous and worried if I could properly play such a cool character as Sailor Jupiter. But soon after, I started to admire her, who is by far the most powerful, the most sweetest and kindest of all. I learned to believe in my friends, to protect and love them. I will also continue on loving Sailor Jupiter so that I can get step by step closer to her.

Q: If you ever have to fight villains like Sailor Moon and her friends, what would be your fighting style?

Q: If you ever have to fight villains like Sailor Moon and her friends, what would be your fighting style?
When I'm around town, I take notice of the license plates of the cars and phone numbers written on signboards of different shops and create them into mathematic formulas and solve them! I find it very enjoyable. Even in math class, I feel very accomplished when I understand a difficult problem. I once heard that "mathematics is connected to the mysteries of the universe". Because of that, if I were to fight evil, I would like to fight them with mathematics! I would challenge them by giving them complex figures and formula problems!
Q: A few words about the character you play.
My beloved Chibiusa, who I admire since she is adorable, strong and brave. Like Chibiusa, I will never give up no matter how small I am! With these strong feelings, I want to do my very best in singing, dancing, and acting to play Chibiusa on stage to the fullest!

Hello!! I’m back from the grave once again to announce that I’m going to see the Super Live in Taipei this April!!!!!!! I’m gonna try my best to get as many pieces of it as I can (if you catch my drift) but since this is my first time ever attempting to do this, I can’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Not sure if I’ll have the time to make a review of it either but we’ll see. I’m looking forward to it tho!! My 2018 self would definitely pass out.
Don’t know if the cast list was already posted but I’ll drop it here just in case! Credits to @crazykacey 🫶
Sailor Moon Super Live Team Taipei cast
Sailor Moon: Natsuki Koga (Team Diamond, Parade)
Sailor Mercury: Cocona (Team Heart, Paris & SMT Mercury)
Funny thing called life happened after I returned from Japan so had to sort that crap out which is why it has taken so long with the Sera Myu Chronicle pamphlet translations (and also cause the I couldn’t be bothered to translate the first bit, but I did anyway lol) SO LET’S CONTINUE WHERE WE LEFT OFF
(remember that not all translations are 100% accurate)
Greetings from a few staff members (aka my personal hell)
When I came across this production, it was really shocking to see how sensational it was for women to become soldiers, and as they continue to fight in modern times, I feel the persistence of human beliefs and justice in the fact the the world is demanding it.
Last year the baton was given to us after the many trials of Bandai’s musicals and that is all thanks to the efforts of many people.
I feel a great sense of responsibility and gratitude for being involved in this production that has a lot of history. Among them is the choreographer, Satomi Touma, who has been involved in Sera Myu for a long time. Whom achieves both “unchanging history” and “changing entertainment” with her choreography from working with the Sailor Senshi to the enemies. In that way, the “Sera Myu-ness” that cannot be expressed in words has been handed down to us and keeps on living without fading.
Without forgetting the respect for all the people involved in this production, all of us are determined to put our hearts and souls into this radiant show so that we can repay Takeuchi-sensei for all the wonderful encounters. Please enjoy the beloved songs and the brave pretty soldiers who keep on fighting till the end.
Stage manager - Kaori Miura
I am truly grateful to be able to take part in the 30th anniversary celebration of Sailor Moon which is loved throughout the world. When talking about the songs of Sailor Moon, it goes without mention that Moonlight Densetsu has such an impact that it is difficult to describe it. Even for me, who didn’t watch Sailor Moon when growing up, hearing that impressive melody and lyrics, the silhouettes of those pretty yet pretty heroes come to mind. I have been the music composer since the previous musical and finally the vague silhouettes of the heroes have finally become real. Furthermore, combined with the individuality of the cast who basically live their own characters, I’m very proud to see the company grow into a more wonderful company that attracts all Sailor Moon fans. I have great expectations fo the further leap forward, and I myself would like to enjoy this FESTIVAL to the fullest, as it will be a perfect opportunity for me to experience the numerous masterpieces of the older musicals.
Composer - Go Sakabe
Congratulations on the 30th anniversary!
The first time I was introduced to the Sailor Moon musicals was in 2014. It has been 8 years since then.
We have worked hard with many Sailor Soldiers from different generations.
The stage is more brutal than you can imagine. However, in addition to the scale of the production, there is the strength of each actor’s ambition and challenge. And after every time a performance is over, I look at everyone and notice how different everyone has become and how they have grown… They truly are like soldiers. The tears shed shed at the Senshuuraku(final performance) are like the tears of a pure girl but they are also tears full of pride and strength, that is what I think when I see them. Surely, we will all be guided by the production “Sailor Moon” in meetings, in challenges, whether we are friends or enemies, or whether we have to fight against ourselves. That is what this production has thought us. It is something universal and unwavering that pushes us forward. Thank you so much for coming to see 30th Anniversary Musical Festival Chronicle! I am overwhelmed with emotion to be able to share this time with everyone on this special milestone. I would like to continue to protect his eternal brilliance with all of you.
All of us are soldiers.
Looking forward, together.

Sera Myu Musical Festival -Chronicle- Pamphlet translation
hi
I'm currently at the airport waiting for my flight back to Finland so I decided to translate the first page of musical's pamphlet
Once again sorry if my grammar is pure shit and this might not be 100% as there's many kanji I didn't know so keep that in mind!
(sorry if these pics are crappy, I'll try to take better ones later!)
Welcome to Sailor Moon's 30th Anniversary performance, Musical Festival -Chronicle-! This year is a special moment that I have been waiting for and it has finally arrived!
This time the theme is "Chronicle". From the long history of Sera Myu, many familiar songs and new songs have been brought in this live performance to entertain everyone.
There are many dark and painful events every day, so there are a lot of people who took a huge step forward by coming to see the musical. I thank you from the bottom if my heart!
I also want to thank all the fans for their support and for looking forward to this everyday! I'm the most grateful!
A lot of feelings, nostalgia, joy and bittersweet memories are all packed into so we will definitely produce a mountain of fun and memories.
Do your very best tomorrow! All the people involved in the musical are excited about delivering this power of warm light so that thoughts of doing your very best will well up at the end of the day!
And then there is the thing with the guests... AND I RECORDED THE WHOLE THING. And a interesting thing is that they actually had a small talk show... Not at the end of the musical like Anza & co. had the Special Live in the middle of the musical like they had with Riona in the previous performance I went to see. So it features the Amour Eternal & Le Mouvement Final Inners, Yume Takeuchi(Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury), Karen Kobayashi(Rei Hino/Sailor Mars), Kaede(Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter) AND Rimo😍Hasegawa(Minako Aino/Sailor Venus). Apparently Hotaru Nomoto(AE-LMF Sailor Moon) was supposed to come but wasn't able to due to time management issues but she wrote a letter which Yume read. So Ms. Frozen asked them few behind the scene questions from their performances(which I'll go intro greater detail on a later post) And gosh Rimo was being so chaotic I loved it💛💛
While I'm very happy about it, it makes me wonder why Anza & co. didn't have a talk show... What a missed opportunity
AND They performed Speed of Light at the end of it. (starts around 21:45) So while they may not have sang multiple songs like Anza & co. I think it's safe to say that the other guests also sang something (hopefully other songs than Moonlight Densetsu tho)
They also appeared at the end and danced the end part of Moonlight Densetsu!
(If using headphones, it only works on the right ear. Also there is a lot of clapping cause everyone had the time of their life. So yeah I didn't edit any of them at all cause I only have my phone with me. Also also if shared, please credit me!)
Today's question is how the hell you can get so much text from a 20 minute conversation. I finally translated this talkshow (mostly anyway). It is not 100% and sorry for my crappy grammar once again.
And there is a lot of text
A lot
First everyone introduced themselves and then Ms.Frozen points out their Sailor Moon(Hotaru) is not there and Yume explains that the schedules would match and wasn't able to come. Ms. Frozen comments that it's good that she has one enemy less lol but quickly averts the attention away from her by asking if they have a message or something from her and Yume tells that she has a letter from Hotaru. Hotaru writes that she is very disappointed that she is not able to be there and is not sure whether the letter shouls be read seriously or jokingly and tells Yume to read to room to define how to read the letter (iirc the other inners used to jokingly tease Yume as she was the youngest of the Inners so I guess that falls on that). Hotaru writes that she very jealous of everyone who gets to be as she would also like to. Back when she was cast as Sailor Moon, she didn't find being on stage that enjoyable as she hated her voice and there were times when they weren't able to communicate properly and while she has many regrets, she is very happy about all the love she was able to get from her Sailor Moon and her co-workers. And no matter how many years pass, she will never forget all that love and is very proud she was able to be part of Sailor Moon. She then writes for the others to have the best time and to take lots of pictures and them to her and if they don't, she'll start sulking. Everyone is confused since they thought she would say, "if you don't send any pictures, in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!" "Until we meet again, Hotaru Nomoto."
Ms. Frozen says that the things she heard makes her heart cold and shivering and Kaede then asks that is there any chance that she is Snow Kaguya. She then reassures that is not and teels the girls that they must have heard about Ms. Frozen before somewhere. And the girls "remember" hearing about her.(Apparently this is done woth every guest tho) And she then sarts her Guest Chronicle Corner and proceed to show a slideshow of several pictures from their time in Sera Myu. The first pic is from LMF when the performed Speed of Light during the service numbers. The second picture is from the beginning of AE when Karen(Rei) says "Something is approaching" and Dead Moon Circus arrives on Earth. The next pic is from the end of AE when Sailor Moon transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon and they sing Amour Eternal ~Speed of Light~ and fight Nehellenia. (I love Rimo's high-pitched "Nehellenia-sama"). I think the next pic is right at the end of LMF when they strike their poses at the end of Moonlight Densetsu. Kaede mentions that there was such little time between giving high-fives in the audience to striking the pose on specific spot. The last pic is from the song CHIBI CHIBI in LMF. Karen mentions that she was super happy to wear Rei's miko outfit(is there a proper name for that? Priestess outfit? idk). Yume also mentions that wanted to wear glasses alongside Ami's school uniform and the staff about it and was able to do it!
Then they moved to the next event called Freeze History! Punish You Corner (this translation sucks but honestly how to hell am i supposed to translate it) where the girls are asked questions about their time in Sera Myu. And if Ms. Frozen doesn't like their answers she will freeze a part of their body with those fancy "ice" badges. The ensemble/Snow Dancers arrive and the girls mention that there are familiar faces as they have performed together before. The first question is were there any sort of "terrible episodes" and it is asked from Karen and Rimo. Karen says that AE was the very first time she was cast to play on stage and there were many things she was very clueless about but she ended up getting do into that that se told her mother that she'll chastise her. So when they started practicing for the musical, she was kinda confused about Mars's catchfrase ("In the name of Mars, I'll chastise you/Ka-sei ni kawatte, sekkan yo/火星に代わって、折檻よ") as she didn't really understand the meaning of "sekkan"(chastise) so she looked it up and found it was a little bit stronger version of "I'll punish you!". So it left a really big impact on her as it is not something you'll say that often. So one day when returning home from practice she got in an argument with her mom and as she was super tired and still in a Sailor Mars mode, she told her mom that'd chastise her(折檻よ！). Ms. Frozen then asks how did her mom react and apparently she went silent and Ms. Frozen says that it really most have worked then and the other girls say that they have never heard this story before. When Rimo is asked the same question, she gets distracted and starts talking about the ensemble crew and how they are looking at her with such warm eyes. They talk about them for a bit until Ms. Frozen interrupts them asking if they can return to the main subject and meanwhile Rimo has already forgotten the question xD
As it was also her first time on stage so she was very confused about many things. Especially all the stage left ans stage right stuff and the markings on the stage (who stands where and all that stuff). And since the Senshi run a lot a when on stage and when told to run either stage left or stage right she was very confused where she should run. Yume then adds that it gets really confusing when the staff are telling them where to go from the audience so their lefts and rights are different. Ms. Frozen then adds two "ice" on both Karen and Rimo. The next question is were there any sort of accidents of mistakes that happened during the performances and it is asked from Yume and Kaede. Yume starts and tells about how they had swap their clothes really quickly from regular clothes to Sailor Senshi. Especially in AE in Shiratsuki Gonin Musume as Sailor Mercury came right after Sailor Moon so when she left the stage and Sailor Moon verse started, Yume only had like 30 or 40 seconds to swap clothes. So when went backstage, three members of staff were ready there to put the Sailor uniform on her. While they were putting it on her, for reason they stopped for reason and seemed very confused and even more staff members arrived there. It seemed that the zip on the back broke or got torn or something. And in the end she had 2-3 seconds before she has to run out to the stage and start her verse so then one of the staff members said to her: "Listen closely, you must not turn around under any circumstances" and then she rushed to the stage and started her verse trying not to show her back. And what made it more difficult was when she had to do her attack, Mercury Aqua Mirage, and usually she spun around while she did it so that time she had to do it without the spinning. After that they were able to salvage it with some sort of pin tho. She then adds that she is not sure what sort of "transformations" they do now and how fast they have to be but during AE they had to be super fast.
Kaede responds that since the Senshi have a lot of accessories like the chokers and earrings and the earrings even change between their civilian form and Senshi form so since there are so many accessories, many of them fall to the stage during the performances. Everyone agrees with her. And when someone notices that something has been dropped, the first thoughts is who is gonna pick that up? And start really thinking when would be a good opportunity to do it. And if it cannot be picked up and when entering backstage everyone would be told that something has been dropped and it should be picked up if possible. She then adds that if it is noticed that something has been dropped and if an enemy attacks, "falling" next to dropped item and then taking it to the backstage is something that is usually done. Since if they are not picked up someone might trip on them or something. Ms. Frozen then orders for the rest of the "ice" to be put on the girls and Kaede mentions that a familiar person is putting them on lol. The last question is for the past Senshi to give the new Senshi a "cold message".
Yume starts by saying that since Sera Myu has been able to continue all this time they are able to be there and hopes that it'll still continue for a very long time so that they'll have this amazing place to return to. And that she'll cheer them on for with all of her mighr. Karen says that ever since she been a part of Sera Myu she has found a lot of courage and dreams and is very grateful for everything. She then tells the new Senshi to do their very best. Kaede says that when she was performing she wasn't able to see it the same eay as the audience and now seeing it as a guest is amazing. She says that she'll cheer them on and to do their very best till the Senshuuraku. Rimo says that Sera Myu is one of her greatest treasures as it was her first performance and when she went to see KHnK(which she accidentally called Kaguya Hime no Monogatari XD) she remembered how much she loves Sera Myu and as she now saw how much fun everyone was having cheering and waving their penlights and she loved to see it how "this is a world where everyone becomes one". So it really reminded her how amazing Sera Myu is how exciting every performance is, with different guests for everyone, for the audience, the Sailor Senshi and even for the enemies and she at this point she had forgotten Ms. Frozen's name was about to call her Shining something😂😂 (i love her so much) Everyone starts laughing (it was so funny) and Ms. Frozen saves it smoothly by saying the she is shining indeed XD She than wishes the cast do their very best. Ms. Frozen then gets at mad them for telling such wonderful things and asks them who has the Silver Crystal(like she does with every other guest) And they all say Sailor Moon (tbh I was kinda hoping for them to say their own Senshi names lol). Ms. Frozen then tells them that they are wrong and they must be too frozen to answer properly. Yume then replies that she is wrong as they arrived there with such an fiery enthusiasm enough to melt any ice and then they sing of Speed of Light. After that the musical resumes
Hello, this is @gracemyheart! Sorry to bother you, lol xD. I wanted to ask you who actually sings the solo part in the new KaguMyu version of Eye Candy. I remember it was Kanon in PE but from what I saw in a promo video Chibiusa takes her part? I was actually hoping Minako would get it T.T Or does everyone get a solo part? And while I'm already asking how is going with Otome no Michi? :D
All good! Chibiusa had a small solo part but it was mostly Minako! 🤩And Usagi sang the solo part in Otome no Michi! Both of the songs were sooo amazing😍 Feel free to ask me anything else that comes to mind!
Aaaah I'm so sorry I seem to have misremembered 😣 actually all of the girls (Ami, Rei, Makoto and Chibiusa) have solo parts but Minako is still the most vocal one! So sorry about that!
i have no idea what i'm doing @crazykacey - Tumblr Blog | Tumgag
