15. Best Outer Senshi song

Everyone seems to have gone for Broken Mobius, and I feel left out. Not that I don’t love it (seriously I’m listening to it right now), but for me To A Brand New World wins. It’s just so Saturn and perfect. Plus coupled with Miss Dream it’s just such a beautiful musical introduction to her. It is also one of those songs that once it gets stuck in your head, it is impossible to get out. It also helps that of my top three Saturn actresses two of them sing this song. But honestly I just find this song so beautiful.

Day Sixteen- Best Villain and Group Song

My favorite villain song changes very frequently, so if I’m ever asked again I’ll probably have a different answer. Right now I’m going with “Guoul Guoul Guoula” because it creeps me out and makes me want to join in at the same time. Most other villain songs do the latter, but while they do capture character very well, this is the only one that I actively find creepy. Part of that is the way the Quartet interacts with the other characters within the song, which I find brilliant. The Quartet seems to have the upper hand with their childish insults, but they’re dealing with two people who have been undead for centuries, one of which was infamous for killing young girls. The context gives me shivers.

I debated for awhile if Sailor War Supreme counted as a group song, but since it doesn’t fall under any other day I decided it does. Because boy, do I love it. I love the different divisions it has– Solar System Senshi from the Starlights, Inner Senshi from Outer Senshi, Pluto and Saturn from everyone. But even more I love that it shows the divisions to emphasize their unity. Everyone gets their turn to say who they are, but in the beginning, when they question if the Starlights are a threat to their princess and their planet, the Inner and Outer Senshi are together, and in the end, everyone is together. Because in the end, all real Sailor Senshi have the same goal– to protect their loved ones. Whatever differences they have– in origin, in methods– they always have that in common.

7. Who do you think was the actress who matched her character the most?

Yoshioka Sakoto aka the original Princess Kakyuu. For me, she was the perfect embodiment of Kakyuu. She was so gentle, understanding, and compassionate, while still having a strong resolve to fight. Her voice is also the purest sound I’ve ever heard — normally, I would hate that style of singing, but I loved her performance. Her balance between otherworldly royalty and a familiar friend was also spot on, and I only wish she’d had more stage time.

Day Thirteen- If you were the director, tell me one thing you would have done differently

This is one of the easier days, I think. That might be because I didn’t want my answer to have anything to do with story lines or anything big, though.
If I were the director, I’d put in more small moments for Makoto and Usagi’s friendship. For all of the other inner senshi’s relationship with Usagi, I feel like the musicals eventually got it down (Ami they did great with from the start, of course, and Rei soon after, and the later stages did Minako brilliantly), but I never got quite the right vibe for Mako and Usagi. They did the mutually-boycrazy bits just fine, but they’re more than that. I’d want to put in more little moments where Mako is sympathetic and gentle towards Usagi (I’d definitely take out the times when Mako is harsh to Usagi; seeing her yell and hit her just makes me so sad the few times it happens), and put in more moments where Mako is protective of Usagi in and out of battle.
…Basically, I’d put in a Mako/Usagi hug every few shows. Or at least an occasional pat on the head.

I totally agree with this! As for pats on the head, does Kanako!Mako hitting Anza!Usagi on the head in Ai no Senshi e no Michi count?

I always felt like Kanako was the only Jupiter who had these little moments, which is why she’s my favourite. ^.^

Wow that’s adorable and so perfectly Mako. Clearly it’s been too long since I watched this show.

Today, May 7th, is Kanbe Miyuki’s birthday. She would have been 30 years old today.

Recently I bought her first photobook, I Am Rainbow, so I thought I’d scan some of the pictures I like and share them. Sorry the inside edges of the pictures are a little warped and blurry. I am not cutting up my book for you all. ;P

These are the two pages from the book commemorating her time with Sera Myu.

Mitsumeteiteyo [Keep Watching Over Me] is the final song in the Dracul Series, although a duet for Usagi and Mamoru on the album, it is performed by the full cast live. This version appears in Spring 2001 and serves as a wonderful and very fitting tribute to the Dracul Series and the Eternal Angel, Miyuki Kanbe.

[Japanese / Romaji Lyrics]

Don’t cry dear friends
Let’s leave it like this a little longer
Without saying anything more
The mystery of those tears… I want to watch it
It’s the season for girls to play innocently
An answer I believe in, surely exists there

Don’t cry my love
Don’t cry now…
Don’t call out now
The secret of my tears, I want to hide it
It’s the season for girls to pout innocently
Not even breathing, I’m gazing at you

Don’t cry dear friends
Let’s leave it like this a little longer
Please keep watching over only me
I want to keep watching over you
Please… Until the world ends
Board the ship of love that crosses that star
Tomorrow, I should become stronger

Because, tomorrow, I will become stronger
