Sera Myu - Tumblr Posts
Thanks for including fashion from the Musicals!
Sailor Moon Musical - The Legend of Kaguya Island (Revised Edition) – Summer Vacation! The Jewel Expedition Party - 1999 Summer
Oh Jay, did something like this happend to you recently? 😅
Well for some reason the community became so inactive since a couple of years despite the new stuff that came out. Tbh the Kaguya hime no koibito musical had no real hype. Overall the same 5 gif sets who got reblogged for some weeks and that was it. 🤔
You know... getting real tired of people demanding things of me. This is why so many people in the Myu community stopped making content.
2013!me: Naaa, I stick with the online stuff. The quality is ok.
2023!me: *Looking at my Myu Collection* Ok, Shut up, 2013!me, Antics was right!
Also... hello again? Is there a Myu fandom still around? Everyone seems to be gone... I don't know if another Sera Myu week gets lost in the shuffle?
Ah yes. This was very unsuprising xD
I did a ranking again. you won't be surprised about the outcome....
We stan this Queen! 😊🧡
November 8 is the birthday of Akiko Miyazawa, the fourth actress to play Minako Aino/Sailor Venus and the second actress to play Queen Beryl in the Sailor Moon musicals. She played Sailor Venus in Eien Densetsu and its revision, and Queen Beryl in Starlights - Ryuusei Densetsu and Kakyuu-Ouhi Kourin.
Year #4 😐
Sailor Moon x Akiko Kosaka MUSIC HISTORY
DAY 1
Here’s everyone from the first of two days of classic myu magic!!! They disclosed the song list and digging up twitter I found reports on who performed what! Mostly they kept each person with their own character songs but there were a couple of new arrangements (not to mention some of the actors never sang together before since they were from different musicals)…
Also, naturally, Kosaka played her ending themes from both anime series! Anyway, here it goes:
SONGLIST
Tuxedo Mirage (Piano Solo by Akiko Kosaka)
Moon Revenge (Piano Solo by Akiko Kosaka)
I Miss You (Anza, Akiko Kosaka)
Tabidachi
Sorezore no Elegy
Over The Moon (Sanae Kimura)
Lonely Distance
You’re My Jewelry
Dracul Hakushaku no Kodoku
Image De Mon Père
Innocent Demand
Koshuuki
Kakyuuouhi to Three Lights (Sakoto Yoshioka, Hikari Ono)
Toki Michite Kourin
Omoidashite Anata wo
Densetsu Seitan (All)
Encore
Gekkou (Piano Solo by Akiko Kosaka)
La Soldier (All)
Here’s where I found the singers lists: katorine 1 and 2 + ojiro_
Reminder Day 2 will not feature Sakoto Yoshioka, but Yuuka Asami, Mao Mita, Tamaki Shirai, Momoko Okuyama and Ryuuji Kasajara will join the others!
Wow, finally someone with a sense for quality! Thanks for your little essay.

Why I am not suprised that there is nothing new but re-casting? It will feature new senshi but I wonder if they recast the rest as well...

Happy 31st anniversary!🥳
The first Sailor Moon musical, Gaiden Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen, premiered on August 11, 1993.
This musical (and its revision) were the only musicals from the Bandai run in which the characters of Luna and Artemis appeared.
At approximately one hour and seventeen minutes in run time (counting the curtain calls), this was the shortest musical.
Until Sailor Moon Crystal aired, this was the only Sailor Moon canon in which the Inner Senshi and the Shitennou were established to have been couples in the Silver Millennium.
I wish we could have seen any photo or audio of Sakoto Yoshioka as Christine during her mysteriously obscure Tokyo run of POTO. But judging from her later Princess Kakyuu role (which is operatic!) in 1998 Sailor Moon Musical, I can wholeheartedly believe that she's a very iconic Christine 💅🏻
here she is as the red alien Princess
I just found her YT channel a few days ago with her cover of Think of me in English, possibly the closest we'd get to what she sounded like during her Tokyo run

Not to mention the lack of orchestration diversity, the lack of creativity in the storyline or the direction and the samey samey soundtrack thank to the small band carrying everything with their backs.
Bandai's Sera Myu feels like an actual musical adaptation for me. IDK if it's hard to understand that what makes a good musical is not being one on one faithful to the source material. What makes it good is the quality of the direction, the art and the music. Bandai Myu was so ambitious to be on par with bigger musicals, and while it didn't work sometimes, the outcome paid off.
Let's give an example of SuperS Kaiteiban, my favorite Myu from my favorite era. The lighting is exquisite, especially in the Dead Moon Kuroi no Yume and the lighting show that is La Moon. You can see how great lighting immerse you into the scenes so easily. The props are very cool, some are cheap but well they literally cut the confetti themselves in Gaiden. The little Zircon and the soul orbs of the Amazones Trio snatched my weave off my head. While the laser Pegasus was silly, I also appreciate them for trying and committing to it.
Moving on to the music and orchestration. Just compare triple dreams to whatever is the equivalent of it. Triple dreams is a very strong number that represents three factions by using their previous leitmotifs in the best way possible. Someone said it before that this is the Sera Myu's one day more. I can see it as the Final Lair as well with the powerful impact it leaves for the audience. The Nelke Myu (maybe except Nogimyu) feels like you're watching the same small band playing every score, be it love song or final battle song. I also want to talk about the vibe of the numbers but that's for another day.
I am sure I have a few things to compliment the poor Nelke Myu but I don't think I have anything at the moment. I like that Nogimyu feels very much like Bandai Myu to some extent. It is honestly my favorite modern Myu with the cool transformation sequence, the ambitious set pieces and the diverse numbers. I wish the newer Myu can take notes from it.
Ps. I don't hate Takarazuka casting. I am probably the minority here but I just need a bit of male tenor or bass to balance the chorus ensemble. I have that problem with Takarazuka's musical adaptations like Y/K Phantom or Elisabeth as well.
