[YuYu Yuichiro]

Haven't finished the Kaitaban butt ..... It's looking interesting, I'll tell you that.

Eien Densetstu/ Eternal Legend [Kaiteiban]

• [13:41] - the way she said it.
• [17:13] - This is exactly what I'd expect a basketball game to look like w/ Usagi
• [17:47] - Oh dear.
• [18:30] - What was that about?
• [19:30] - The laughing makes it feel like a sitcom.
• [20:33]
• [21:12] - [Dream Dream on a grand scale] - [22:23]
• [22:43] - Ami speaks fluent engrish
• [28:02] - This whole scene.
• [1:18:51] - Chibi Chibi turns into a ninja and attacks Usagi w/ a deck of imaginary cards
• [1:37:41] - I like how QB just casually dismisses them
• [1:44:13] - It's cruel but I just find that hilarious. She literally stopped it JUST to make sure SM sees the "best part"
• [2:01:36] - This part particularly looks pretty
• 
  
• [2:11:36] - Interesting how they repurposed this song when neither Chibiusa nor Pegasus is involved.
• [2:18:03]
• [2:18:34] "Sailor ChibiChibiMoon" I just thought it was "Sailor Chibi Chibi"
• [2:26:09] - Clow Here's the hugging and the flowers [Naoko makes an appearance and gives the actors flowers/hugs them]
• [2:30:20] -

Overview
It felt a lot easier to focus since the generals and those other 2 Galactica soldiers are gone. All the stuff at the end makes this one feel particularly special.

Shnin Densetsu Kourin

• [1:23] - The more I see the musicals the more they parallel PGSM [Ie Brown hair Mamoru]
• The Galaxia arc ...... again
• [9:06] - I still like Setsuna giving Usagi advise with dealing with her lover not being around.
• [16:59] - [The Time to Enjoy our Youth]I like the songs upbeat tone.
• [18:31] - : [randomly ballet dances in the middle of volleyball.]
• : "OMG, that's hawt. "
• [31:37] - [The Amazon Trio's Dream Search] Literally all I could think about here was "ZIRCONIA, ZIRCONIAAAA!!!!"
• [40:36] - Interesting Dream Search effect
• [43:00] - Pluto and OB
• [46:42] - I like how the Trio didn't like QB getting too violent.
• [51:29] - [Bundle the Hearts, Making for the Right] Reminds me of Revolutionary Girl Utena's first ending [Truth]
• [54:07] - Dang.
• [1:07:43] - I'm going with Queen Beryl's response here.
• [1:09:24] -
• [1:11:34] - More Fisheye x Tiger's eye fuel.
• [1:12:36 - 1:13:02] - Red flags
• [1:15:56] - [Chibiusa's Deposition] Cool
• [1:18:13] - mean
• [1:19:07] - [The Enemy's Territory is Galaxia's Station] - I wonder if the enemy's territory is Galaxia's Station. This one has kind of a funky beat to it.
• [1:22:30] - This time the Inner's double cross Galaxia AND without killing anyone. So that's nice.
• [2:02:27] - That confused turn around was hilarious. [Mirical Twister] This song sounds pretty cool

Overview
To tell you the truth I skipped most of this particular musical . It's basically the last one but this time the minions are The Amazon Trio. I still enjoyed the trio but if they're gonna do this plot again I wished they'd just bring back Nehelenia or and Zirconia instead of Queen Beryl again. It seemed like they were mixing together several parts from the previous musicals.

Favorite Song: "Bundle the Hearts, Making for the Right" Seriously this song reminds me of RGU's 1st ending.

Spoiler: show

 

[Memento]

[is there a QB/Pluto ship?]

You rang?

 

[JayD22460]

So glad you're enjoying these overall! Yeah, you're starting to notice how the revisions/kaiteiban shows make small edits here and there, some larger than others...I couldn't go through and point out changes unless I did what you did and go through every single musical again.

You rang?

You ship Queen Beryl and Pluto? Thank you. It had to be done haha. Their duets are too intense otherwise lol. But this is bringing back old memories of the "Setsuna is Mamoru in drag" meme lmao...

 

[Memento]

They're both solitary Scorpio queens of the underworld who know how to rock the color purple, they are literally soulmates

I don’t like the musicals, but the musicals have great storylines.

Kaguya Shina Densetsu/ The Legend of Kaguya Island

• The princess detoured a comet but caused a flood.... whoops
• [1:59] - [Comet Coatl's inordinate Ambition] Sound nice and different
• [6:13] - [Redness of a Ruby] - I actually really like how simple the beat is.
• [7:56] - Ami and her priorities.
• [8:40] - I guess this song's nameless. I like its innocent whimsical vibe.
• So, Ruby's setting up a vacation as a trap. The cruise kind of reminds me of that Jadeite episode.
• [18:53 - 19:04] - I guess Mamo's to straight to sing.
• [20:37] - I never knew about each of the character's birth stone.
• [29:00] - So SM has her S abilities but they're in high school.
• [41:41 - 41:58] - Ok, that got me
• [47:45] - ended a little rough with that English...
• [48:13] - Ok this also got me. [49:11] and this
• [50:50] - Chibiusa can understand cats apparently.
• [53:14] - That's the most extravagant "get them" I could've wished for.
• [55:05] - This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. [I do Justice]
• [1:01:02 - 1:01:24] - I don't know why but this looks so funny out of context.
• [1:10:21] So King Endymion's the one who cooks I see. [or at least that's what it looks like]
• [1:22:59] - [Just Love, Never Forget] I really like this one. especially the strings, they go nicely w/ the voice.
• Some plot points I wrote down randomly: The Pirate woman's a princess, those 3 comet women were looking for their kids [The 3 kittens], The princess changing the Earth's position to avid the comet cause the flood due to its proximity to the moon.....whoops
• Those 3 pirate guys are androids [] that were created to protect the princess. I that explains why they were taking so much of what she said literally. Eternal SM comes out.
• [Solar Mirical, Make Up] is still a nice song to have.
• [1:50:30] - [And believe in all] I don't know why, just wanted to acknowledge this song.
• [1:54:14] -Did he just "sike" her?
• [1:56:51] - That's the only time I remember them using the wires for levitation in this one.
• [1:58:20] - I'm really happy they're alive. It would've been super tragic if their children died in their arms after reuniting.
• Music for cast call sounded nice.
• [2:05:15] - [Everlasting Moonlight] THEY DIDN'T USE LA SOLDIER AS AN ENDING!!! [they probably did last time, I forgot] This is still nice though.

Overview:
I still enjoyed this one. I probably would've enjoyed it more if I didn't watch parts of it for 3 days [that's on me, my bad ] In set design it kind of reminded me of the first musical [the others looked for expensive looking]. It's aesthetic feels very different from the type of stuff I expect from Sailor Moon.

Favorite song: probably Just Love, Never Forget but I still liked about all of them anyways.

We are watching CLAMP’s Magic Knight Rayearth … just in case you need a break from the musicals.

Kaguya Shina Densetsu/ The Legend of Kaguya Island [Kaiteiban]

• [10:15] -
• [10:30] -
• [19:39] - I like that they show Chibiusa actually having the conversation that caused her to run away.
• [24:45]
• [47:45] - For anyone who ships Ami and Minako
• [51:15] - For anyone who wants to see Usagi and Rei doing stuff.
• [51:42]
• [54:51] - "A Mexican?"
  
• [1:58:35] - [NEW LA SOLDIER]
• [2:01:31] - JESUS CHRIST HARUKA!

Overall
I still like many parts of this one. The aesthetic of it and the background music is still quite different than what I expect form Sailor Moon but it's good they're doing different things. I'm happy they have a new La Soldier

Favorite Song: Probably "Link" or "Everlasting Moonlight"

Now I get to see some supposed "Dracul arc" I wonder what will happen.

 

[Star Angel Haruki]

Oh, I need to watch these. Download or buy from somewhere.....

MsImagination had mentioned "Sea of Serenity"

Downloads – Sea of Serenity.Net

There's also Miss Dream: Sera Myu Fansubs – Miss Dream

I just watch them on Youtube.

 

[YuYu Yuichiro]

Also, I just realized "La Soldier" plays during the fight between Both Usa's Vs Wiseman in Sailor Moon R

[I couldn't find any videos that played the actual footage on YouTube]

Shin / Henshin – Super Senshi e no Michi – Last Dracul Jokyoku/New/Transformation – The Road to Become the Super Soldier – Overture of Last Dracul

• lord these title names.
• Oh, a Claymation opening.
• Nightmare ppl want Usagi to believe calamity will appear if she transforms.
• [6:04] - I have a good feeling about the songs in this one. I feel like it could be an aesthetic choice, but it sounds like her mic keeps peaking.
• [9:57] - I found that cute for some reason.
• [13:31] - They're really loud in this one.
• [15:22] -
• [21:55] - sounds like he's growling.
• [23:17] - Mannetjes theme song.
• [28:15] - Ducks [28:58] Ducks 2 attack of the Ducks
• [32:42] - Lots of pelvic thrusting and butt shaking this part.
• [35:09] - Jesus
• [36:42] Dracula appears!
• Apparently, Tomoe knows Cout Dracula personally. Dracula performs magic tricks to the Sailors
• [50:07] - TF
• Mamoru's been bitten. I never thought of how he has a cape like Dracula. [remembering Tiger Eye's "Disco Vampire" comment in Cloverway]
• [1:03:42 - 1:05:50] - This whole scene.
• [1:32:18] - She was about to kill herself!?
• So, Count's trying to turn Mamoru into his son and some other Vampire into his wife Le Fay
• [1:42:29 - 1:43:13] - Wow that sounds..... pretty wrong. It's also REALLY interesting.
• [1:44:15 - 1:44:37] - What's even going on anymore.
• [1:44:44] - Even Neptune doesn't know what's going on anymore.
  
• [1:45:01] - Usagi looks so smug here.
• [1:55:00 - 1:57:32] - Classic scene right here.
• [1:58:09] - Did I miss something, when did Tomoe get so hairy.
• [2:02:38 - 2:04:14] Uranus and Neptune moment
• [2:08:26] - Hm I actually kinda feel a little bad they died.
• [2:09:43] - [FIRE] - I like this song, it seems like they added some La Soldier motifs in some parts.
• [2:17:23 - 2:18:31] - This is actually pretty ominous. And they just end it here. So is there a part 2 coming.

OVERALL
I like it a lot! It seems like a rehash of the first S musical. I wonder if they'll continue this in a part two or something. They're getting really loud in these I'll tell you that.

Favorite Song: "FIRE"

I saw this post in another thread about Fan Musicals

Thought I'd start a thread to discuss all the fan made musicals out there.

In 2009, a Japanese fan group called "Milky Way" did an original story musical (using reworked songs from the anime and Sera Myu) called "Bride of Rain" which seems to have been about Usagi's childhood doll coming to life to get revenge on Usagi for having forgotten all about her.

In 2010, another group called "Starry Planet" did a musical adaptation of the R movie called "Moon Revenge ~ Remember You ~" that added the Outers and Prince Demand to the story. You can read about both of these musicals on this blog.

In 2011, "Milky Way" apparently also did a musical adaptation of the Black Moon arc which you can see some pictures of over on this blog, written by the actress who played Berthier in it. (She seems to have played Mercury and Neptune in other shows they put on.) (The actress who played Koan posted a bit about the show on her blog as well. She even wrote about attending the R movie musical! And she praised the dub song, "The Power of Love"!)

In 2012, Starry Planet did another musical. Here's the cast page which indicates the musical was an original story with new characters, but only the actors' names are given, and I can't find any further information about the show.

Anyway, it seems like both groups disbanded around this time, probably because the official musicals started up again.

In 2018 and 2019, a Korean fan group called The A_ performed a couple of musicals (apparently a Black Moon one and a Stars one). There are a few clips on YouTube.

There's a German group called Yume Musical that have done a bunch of musicals. The SailorMoonGerman YouTube channel has a bunch of performances from what I think is another German fan group.

Those are all the fan musicals I've found so far. If there are others I've missed, please share them!

I'm not going to talk about these. Just wanted to acknowledge this post.

Kessen / Transylvania no Mori – Shin Toujou! Chibimoon wo Mamoru Senshitachi/ Decisive Battle/The Forest of Transylvania - A New Arrival! The Soldiers Who Protect Chibimoon

• [2:09 - 3:17] - Recap
• [3:30] - [Millenium - We can't be the soldiers of love forever] - I like that they gave each character their own English part.
• [10:32] - Wasn't expecting them to suddenly make an appearance [Amazon Quartet]
• [14:12] - This whole thing was adorable.
• [17:23] -
• Jun Jun: Oi you! I bet you don't have a belly button!
• Plant: I do so!
• Palla Palla: He's acting tough even though he's got no belly button!
• [19:02-20:15] - This whole part.
• [20:28] - They referenced the Kaguya Island Story.
• Michiru has a European concert.
• [22:07] - Pluto didn't appreciate that comment.
• [24:02] - Wow she told Usagi she made a zero in English In English. The shade!
• [24:57] - Usagi swears at a nun.
• [25:45] - Hey its PGSM Naru.
• [28:02] - [Madonna of Darkness] - I like the whole atmosphere of this song.
• [35:34] - The vampire's takes on each of the characters.
• [49:44] - That name reveal was threatening.
• [56:46] - They also gave Jupiter a song. Neat.
• Apparently, the "Sameul Quartet" are homunculi and need to be neonates to live longer. The ring leader's daughter is supposedly their Sailor Moon.
• Aestarte came from behind the sun. Where's that exactly
• [1:13:14] - I wasn't expecting this but I really like "Set Me Free". Also, they're going to Europe with Saeba.
• [1:28:40] - [Time of Lonely Contemplation] - They're really giving these vampire ladies the loveliest songs, my god!
• Sailor Aestarte has multi- personality disorder.
• [1:40:28] - I like this part.
• [1:43:28] - Tension between Haruka and Mamoru? , That's kinda new.
• [1:55:07] - With how thirsty is used, you can change the context of this scene.
• [2:05:07] - Lots of backstory explained here.
• [2:11:09] NOOOOOO! NOT THE PLANT GUY! [Mandrake]
• The other vampires are homunculi.
• [2:16:13] - Nvm, plant guy's alright. I think he's immortal actually.
• [2:19:53] - They start stabbing themselves.
• [2:29:16] - Uranus bites Neptune
• [2:29:41] - I always liked how they presented Tux and Sailor Moon together this way. I find it sweet for some reason.

Overall
I seriously wasn't expecting the Amazon Quartet to be used here of all places. It's getting kinda hard for me to keep track of all the vampires . I really like Mandrake for some reason, he must be protected at all costs [Even if he's like .... immune to dying or something due to being a medicinal plant]. Hearing about the vampires talk about the god and goddesses felt a little unpleasant. I like that they gave and their own song.... but why no and . Of course, the songs were also great [IMO]. From the looks of it there's a final part [after a Kaiteiban] so I wonder how they'll close this story. The musical being 2 and a half hours is definitely something tho .

Favorite song: Maybe "Time of Lonely Contemplation" or "Set me free"

Kessen / Transylvania no Mori – Shin Toujou! Chibimoon wo Mamoru Senshitachi/ Decisive Battle/The Forest of Transylvania - A New Arrival! The Soldiers Who Protect Chibimoon [Kaiteiban]

• [2:29] - They included Haruka with the difficult test casualties.
• [7:57] - Mamoru even shut down Haruka
• [26:21] - "Plants don't lie" - Mandrake 2001
• [30:31] - I like this angle, makes me think I'm watching a show.
• [59:53] - Drac's back.
• [1:14:06] - Mamo's laugh is...... kinda terrifying.
• [1:15:16] - Apparently Mamo likes puns.
• [1:25:19] - [Traditional the Grace - Storm of love] They gave Venus a song
• [1:33:06] - I found this kinda funny.
• [1:35:05] - Dracula
• [1:39:55] - [We'll Be the Last Victory] - Felt note worthy.
• [1:50:43] - [Drive Me The Mercury] Mercury's song
• [1:52:50] - Apparently Mankind's first murder
• [2:02:13] - I like how they keep doing this.
• [2:03:47] - [An Evil Dream] - I still like this song. Wish the quality was higher than 360p

Overall
I'm satisfied that they gave the other Inner's their own song. I also noticed they gave Mandrake a bit more backbone in this one ......... Hold on a sec ....... DID MANDRAKE SURVIVE IN THIS ON-

Favorite song: Watching many of these I enjoyed about all of them, but it was hard for me to decide one above another so ...... soooo "Millenium - We can't be the soldiers of love forever", "An Evil Dream" and "We'll Be the Last Victory"

2001 Spring – Last Dracul Saishuu Shou – Chou Wakusei Death Vulcan no Fuuin/ Final Chapter the Seal of the Super Planet Death Vulcan

• [1:11-3:16] - Recap
• [5:39] -
• Just you wait. Just you wait.
  
• [6:00] - Alright Mandrake's fine. Thought I was gonna start a villain arc for a sec.
• [12:25] - "Plants don't lie." - Mandrake 2001
• [13:36] -
• [19:33] - Space time distorted. Death Vulcan prevents Chibiusa from going back home.
• [23:27] - ..... Dang
• [47:54] -
• [55:53] - NQS makes an apperance.
• [1:47:04] Nice that they show them together as a family this time.
• [1:48:50] SPECIAL REVENUE MUSICAL SHOW.

Overview
Sorry but I'm still having problems keeping up with the new characters they introduce. I think it's interesting they give Usagi crap for actually giving the enemy the Silver Crystal trying to save her friends [though NQS still bails them out]. I was EXTREMELY relieved the actual musical was only around 1 hour and 50 minutes.

 

[journeyin2mystery]

This thread may not be updated as often as the other 2 [Crystal and PGSM]. There could be like 3+ days between posts [Although with it being me it might just be 1-2 days again].

I'm going by this playlist. So let me know if there's more/a better playlist.

Thank you for linking to these. I didn't know so many existed let alone that they were preserved, and had subtitles!

I've heard the plays, have some of the best riding in the series, along with some great songs and new characters. Seeing as I just started watching PGSM I probably won't get to this soon, but I look forward to it.
