Ginger Root's songs Juban District and City Slicker contain some Sailor Moon references. Cameron Lew (alias Ginger Root) is a Sailor Moon fan and he put in a few Sailor Moon refrences for those songs. For Juban District the song title is a reference to the main seting of Sailor Moon and the Japanese dialogue heard between timestamps 2:33 – 2:41 is from the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Sound Drama Collection 3 Prelude of Romance track titled Juban General Hospital (十番総合病院 in Japanese), 2 segments of dialogue from timestamps 0:07 – 0:08 and 1:03 – 1:10 were combined together and sampled for the song, and in the music video at timestamp 0:22 there's a newspaper with a screencap printed on it of the Juban Shoping District pillar sign from the Sailor Moon 90s anime. For City Slicker the JOSN lyric at the begining of the song is the JOSM radio jingle from the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Sound Drama Collection 2 from the end of the 6 tracks during the segment titled "JOSM, this is FM Number 10, the naughty beautiful girl radio station" (「JOSMこちらはFMナンバー10いけない美少女放送局だよーん」in Japanese), the letter M in the JOSM abbreviation was changed to the letter N for the lyrics, the letter N stands for the Japanese word Nyūsu meaning news in English while the letter M stands for Musen meaning radio in English, the letters JOS are likely a short form of the Japanese word Josei meaning woman in English, the pronounciation of the radio jingle was left unchanged for the song since the letters M and N have a similar pronounciation. The City Slicker album cover could possibly be a reference to the screencap of the ending of the Sailor Moon R and Sailor Moon DiC dub intros or was used as inspiration for the album cover.

I forgot to tell that Tamayo Akiyama also copied the gender switching plot in Sailor Stars for Rune's love interest in Hyper Rune and she also copied elements of both Sakura and Usagi's hairstyle for Rune (the MC of Hyper Rune).

Actually the gender-switching concept started from Ranma ½, long before Stars. :wink:
