Translation of her post:

🌙✨The other day, I went to see the "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon -Shining heater Shinagawa Tokyo-".✨🌙 It truly was absolutely amazing…!! The very moment I entered the venue, I was immersed in the world of Sailor Moon I was so excited even before the show started.💖 And then, th emoment the Sailor Senshi appeared―― I could not stop tearing up🥹🌙 The cast was truly captivating, and each Sailor Senshi looked as if they had stepped right out of the series itself✨ I was absolutely enchanted by their radiant presence💖 I was of course moved by the world of Sailor Moon unfolding before my eyes, But memories of my time in the Sailor Moon live action had also suddenly came rushing back at me… The time spent with my friends, the days dedicated to working on the show, the joy and nervousness I had felt back then、 so many memories flooded me one after another、 my heart was filled to the brim. It was as if my past self and present self were connected, It was an unbelievable, special moment✨ The story unique to this theater was truly wonderful, The love and friendship that is so characteristic of Sailor Moon, And the strength to believe in you comrades always moved me🌙💕 The live performance part was even more thrilling!! Even after the show ended, I couldn't shake off the afterglow for a while.🥹 By the way, in the first photo, I was so overcome with nostalgia I had to strike the same pose I did in the live action.🌙✨ I’m grateful all the cast members had welcomed me so warmly.🥰 And this time, I was also very happy that Rina Koyama, who’s from the same agency as me, is playing Sailor Moon.💖 To me, Sailor Moon is an irreplacable and precious part of my life. Even now, after all these years, I’m truly happy that it continues to be loved by so many people just as it always has, and that I, too, can still be moved by this world.🌙✨ In the name of the Moon, I received so much happiness and inspiration.✨ Thank you for such a wonderful time.💖 I still fully express all these feelings in words.🥹✨ The rest will be in the fan club, where I would like to talk slowly.🌙💖

CONGRATULATIONS MEW

MEW GAVE BIRTH TO HER FIRST CHILD! SHE'S A MOTHER NOW.

Um. ALL THE SENSHI BUT RIKA HAVE CHILDREN NOW. HOLY SHIT.

Translation

I recently gave birth to my first son. I am very happy I'm able to share this update with those involved and those who have always supported me. That I did not experience morning sickness during the pregnancy, and the baby was delivered easily, I'm always helped by my child's kindness. To my family and friends who supported me until the birth, and to all the staff at the maternity hospital who provided their support, I've been able to come this far thanks to so many people. I filled up with heartfelt gratitude. That the child who had been in my womb with me for so long is now wrapped in my arms, it's an unbelievable feeling. I feel so much love for him that I can't put it into words.

Teletia S

Looking up references for the Teletia S and went back to the official PGSM website archive. Now that I understand Japanese much, much better, I am fascinated by what the official description says.

Translation:

The communication items the Senshi holds are cell phone type, but they are special ones.

Except for Minako, the other four Senshi received their respective item from Luna. Whenever a Youma or other enemy appears, even if the phone is turned off, an emergency signal will still be triggered. As long as there is no direct interference from the Dark Kingdom, the Senshi can contact each other anytime, anywhere. The phone also has a function that allows the user to transform into any costume and appearance by taking a photo, and if the image is saved, the user can transform at any time! It seems that all the Senshi have various outfits saved in their respective phones should the need to use them arise Normally, they can enjoy making phone calls and sending messages as if they were normal cell phones.

I wrote AND rewrote EoT chapter 7 before finding this, so I feel a sense of validation for writing the phones to have operated on a "Senshi signal" based on some sort of "Lunarian communication system." lol

Also, I laughed at the part where they said the respective Senshi had saved up different costumes in their phone, though we know only Rei had saved up the practical ones based on Act 31. XD

Not sure what type of costume Makoto might have saved, but I'd bet Minako has the Sailor V costume saved in hers for a pseudo-transformation since that's how Artemis had her transform in Act Zero.

My specific headcanon about the Teletia S are:

They are waterproof.

They are shockproof and practically indestructible.

They don't need electricity to charge. Just by being near their owners, they are magically charged up.

^Basically it's completely made of alien / Lunarian technology

Emergency signal normally overrides silent/vibrate mode, airplane mode and being turned off. Artemis had to make some special adjustments for Minako's so hers doesn't ring in the middle of her work. Coz.... that'd be awkward.

The only downside of these phones is they look so childishly toy-like. The Senshi all kept theirs even as adults, but everyone but Rei also acquired a normal phone just coz... they got too embarrassed using their Teletia S publicly. Rei feels the same but is too frugal and doesn't use a cell phone enough to bother buying one. :P

Here's my theory/headcanon on how the physical Sailor V costume and Teletia S transformation work together.
