Looks like Ishii Mikako (Petite Etrangere’s Pluto) had a modeling session with Azama Mew (PGSM’s Jupiter) today and was fangirling over her massively~ Ishii Mikako’s cuteness knows no bounds!

This is what she said:

今日の現場は安座間美優ちゃんと一緒でした!セ…セーラージュピター!!時を超えたコラボ(笑)撮る時に凄いね凄いねセ前ジュピターとコラボだね!ね!!ってはしゃぎすぎて美優ちゃんに全力で「恥ずかしいやめて!」って言われたよただのキモオタだよ

Today I was at the studio with Azama Mew-chan! S-sailor Jupiter!! Leaping through time to do a collab. (laughs) During the shoot I was all, ‘Isn’t it amazing isn’t it amazing it’s a collab with a past Sailor Jupiter! Isn’t
it!!’ and being too happy about it to the point where Mew-chan said ‘Stop it, it’s embarrassing!’ to me with as much force as possible, I’m just a disgusting otaku

This whole thing with the PGSM actresses meeting the SeraMyu ones is so nice, I remember the two Sailor Moons and Sailor Venuses met up recently at a showing of the musical. Though this one was random, of course. ^^;

11 years since we first met. Silly nonsense and serious things that we can’t tell anyone else, we five talked about all kinds of things. It’s like we’ve been together forever.

Even if one gets married, even if one has children, we’ll always be together.

We’re all around thirty, so lately we say things like, “Someone may bring children here before long!”, “It’s always five, so that’s a fresh experience”, and, “We can help each other with childcare problems”.
It’s all a little premature, but we’re already that age, aren’t we…?

Knowing each other since we were young, it feels more like a childhood or home town friends meeting than a actresses and models meeting, so I once again thought that it’s truly great to have them around.

On a day when I feel depressed and don’t want to leave the house it’s always them who drag me out, so I can’t think of a life without them.

Sawai-san said, “I want to meet everyone again”, the day after the New Year’s party already, so we’ll meet once more this month. I’m really looking forward to it. Please favour me this year too, okay?

UGH!

JUST UGH! KEIKO! RIGHT IN THE PGSM FEELS WITH THIS ONE!

On a day when I feel depressed and don’t want to leave the house it’s always them who drag me out, so I can’t think of a life without them.

*sniffles*

ALSO! can u just IMAGINE when one of them has a kid what that’s going to be be like?! they’re already planning to help raise each other’s kids i mean—-GAWD!

I LOVE THEM!

I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP!

It’s like that every time, but we eat, talk, have a lot of fun and laughter, and when we said, “It’s this late before we knew it! Let’s meet up next year too!”, on leaving the shop past 1 o’clock, there wasn’t a taxi to be found thanks to it being end-of-year party season.

Waiting one hour for a taxi, the action we took realizing that absolutely none would come was:

We walked. (笑)

The shop was roughly in the middle of our respective houses, so we parted saying, “Be careful everyone! Let’s all walk home”, and I got home one hour and 45 minutes later.

The others needed that amount of time too as expected.

“Anyone find a taxi?”, “Nothing here!”, “I’m still walking”, was our group chat as we walked, and it was around 4 o’clock in the morning when we all got home.

“Sorry that it had to end like this this year (涙)”, said Myuu, but maybe it’ll become a life-long sweet memory that we five will keep telling on Myuu’s birthday.

THIS GIVES ME A LOT OF FEELINGS

ladyloveandjustice:

the more time passes the more deeply I appreicate PGSM for just straight up having this exchange:

Like it’s just straight up canon.  No apologies. No confusion. No backstory for it or justification even. No indication that Rei ever considered or WOULD EVER want to with a guy. Rei is definitely canonically queer in PGSM and it’s not even treated as a big deal- you can read her as aro ace, homoro ace or as a lesbian, but what’s abundantly clear is SHE IS NOT STRAIGHT AND HAS NO ROMANTIC INTEREST IN BOYS.

Usagi just responds to this by nodding with a sort of “that makes sense” mumble and I just

I really fucking love PGSM. I really really wish they’d gotten the people in charge of PGSM for Crystal. This is manga Rei distilled and developed as she deserves to be. This is the version of Rei I love best. Canonical grumpy misandrist asexual Rei for life.
