Tokyo Tower

This will be the first of many posts regarding Tokyo Tower. In the anime and really in most anime, Tokyo Tower just kind of appears where ever they want it to be. Tokyo Tower is not really visible from Juban unless you are in a high rise building as it is around 2km away with many tall buildings in Minato Ward.

The few times you can see Tokyo Tokyo from the street is when you are be lower building and standing one of the many hills. Even then less visible than the image below. Next trip I'm going to tackle this more.

Tokyo Tower was first destination after checking in to the hotel. The night we went it was lit up in different colors and later in the week it was in the classic orange one seen in the anime picture above.

However, I did capture this amazing one with the moon.

Taken on December 2, 2022. As a reminder, Japan had very stick rules regarding masking in public as it just opened to tourism. So there will be lots of pictures with masks.

Outside of the Tower are rotating art exhibits. This one featured different lanterns that light up in different colors. Here are a few of them on the left side of the Tower.

In red.

Multi colored.

Looks up at the Tower from the ground.

More lantern colors with some flora rings, circles?

Last picture with the LED lanterns.

My husband being adorable.

It was really cool to see anime signs everywhere. I'm not used to seeing it where I live so this was great.

This was on the right side of the Tower.

Loved this lit up walk way.

Close up.

Mascot? I'm not sure.

I just realized how long my legs look in the this picture.

Almost time to head in!

But first, dinner across the street at Tango, as mentioned in a previous post that was used in Chaos Theory.

Blue lights similar to snow. Really pretty!

Still images of Tokyo around 9pm with the blue lights.

Missed the Sera Myu Music Festival Chronicle by two weeks. No way I was able to change my trip and Fan Club members had first dibs in Japan. I didn't join the overseas one until 2023. So good luck getting a ticket! It was held at the hotel below, Shinagawa Prince Hotel in the Stellar Ball.

Looking down at buildings near the tower.

Shinagawa Prince Hotel in the bottom corner and the rest of the city behind it.

In the distance you can see the Rainbow Bridge. Not sure what the lit up circle is towards the bottom. We were rushing a bit due to time for for our tickets for the upper deck since it was one of the last time available for the evening.

Street below.

Zoom out view of street.

Exhausted after the long flight that left yesterday morning due to the time change, but finally in Japan.

Shrine on the Observation Deck.

Mini Shrine.

Looking directly down and seeing the base.

I never realized how massive Tokyo was until standing here. The city seems endless.

To be continued in the Top Deck Posts with more views!

Sera Myu Music Festival 2022 Blu-Ray

Event was held at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel Stellar Ball in Tokyo from November 17th – 20th, 2022.

I missed it by less than two weeks since I wasn't in Japan until December of that year. I doubt I would have stood a chance getting tickets.

Can we also talk about how excited I am to have Japanese Blu-Rays being the same region where I live? Makes it so much easier!!!

Back cover of jacket.

Performance booklet and musical performance dice.

Disc set. The performance on Disc 1. Bonus features on Disc 2. I love how all of them are also huge fans of Sailor Moon. Soundtrack for musical on CD 1. Special performances for the different guests on CD 2.

I haven't see a Sera Myu in a while so a lot of the music was new to me even if it had been out for a few years.

 Sailor Moon: Riko Tanaka

 Sailor Chibi Moon: Chise Niitsu

Riko Tanaka has a great voice.

Sailor Mercury: Kaon Maekawa

Sailor Mars: Rei Kobayashi

I can't be the only amused that the actress' first name is Rei, right?

 Sailor Jupiter: Kisara Matsumura

Sailor Venus: Marin Makino

Sailor Uranus: Shinjyu Terada

Sailor Neptune: Ayana Kinoshita

Sailor Pluto: Chisato Minami

Sailor Saturn: Yuzu Ide

Tuxedo Mask: Riona Tatemichi

Princess Snow Kaguya: Sayaka Okamura

I was fortunate to see Riona Tatemichi perform as part of the America Tour for the Super Live in 2019. I really loved seeing the bonus section with the senshi that were also on tour.

YEES!!! TEAM STAR 🌟

Sera Myu Week - Day 1

The first prompt! I am not fully back to Tumblr, so I think I’m gonna stick with rankings for most of the prompts! But this’ll help you get a bit of a better look at me! @sera-myu-week

Day 1, Dark Kingdom. Gonna rank all the Dark Kingdom Myu. Gonna exclude The Super Live & Shining Moon Tokyo since we haven’t seen them in full. But just know, I do really love both casts and they would probably be high up on the list. xD 5. Gaiden: Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen (1993)

Scan from https://www.shiningmoon.com.pl/ As you may have expected, Gaiden is at the bottom of my list. I’m sorry, it’s still my least-favorite musical. I have found charm in it when I rewatched it a year ago, but it definitely struggled a lot. It was the first musical, and it definitely has the worst growing pains out of all of them. But, it gave us ANZA and La Soldier, so it definitely was good for something, at least. XD

4. NogiMyu - Team MOON (2018)

Man, the NogiMyu fanwars really had me disliking this version for a very long time. xD I actually REALLY like it now. I prefer the other 2 versions of NogiMyu, but it definitely has its charm! It’s crazy to me that only 2 of the senshi are still in Nogizaka46 now (Riria and Mizuki)! 

3. La Reconquista (2013)

You know, there’s just something I really love about La Reconquista but I just can’t put my finger on it. Besides Petite Etrangere, it’s definitely one of the weaker Nelke Musicals, and yet, I just like it? Watching the Blu-ray, I couldn’t believe how much I was enjoying it. I think for being the musical tha revived Myu, it did a good job. It set the tone that eventually lead us to getting even better musicals later! PLUS THE INNERS CAST IS AMAZING <3 (Even Miyabi. I love her too. XD)

2. NogiMyu 2019

NogiMyu 2019 was honestly so good. I will say, watching it for the first time, I didn’t really feel it as I was VERY in love with Team STAR. But, over time, I REALLY grew to love this cast. I can’t pick a favorite between Shiori, Junna, and Seira. They’re all SO good. Plus, the amazing supporting cast from the past NogiMyu performances. Mayu was a bit of a weak link from the inners, but she’s still good and has improved a lot in Nogizaka46 since then!

1. NogiMyu - Team STAR (2018)

I’ve been gone for a while, but you guys KNOW this was gonna be my first place. Even now, it still ranks either my favorite or second-favorite musical of all time (it switches daily XD). I loved this cast SO much. SayuriMoon is one of my all-time faves and she will remain supreme in my eyes! It was the first NogiMyu version I saw, and my heart will always remain with Team STAR. ALSO HELLO QUEEN KANA NAKADA THE LEGEND I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

Okay, that’s it for day 1, I hope you enjoyed byeeeee xD

Sailor Moon 30th Anniversary Musical Festival -Chronicle-

The official flyer only features pictures of the main cast, but I wanted it to show the guests as well... So here they are!

As guests they will most likely not be in costume, but they will be performing, even if only 1 or 2 songs :)

The Sera Myu Festival is happening this week in Tokyo, from November 17 to 20, 2022

[ Update: It pains me but I updated the last day, as unfortunately Meiku Harukawa (2017 Star Fighter) had to cancel her appearance! ]

[gracemyheart]

It's not like I have ANY time *cries* but I'd spent my sleeping time for this 💪

The fandom seems to be kinda dead...are there still people around who would like to join in a Sera Myu Week 2022? 😅

@sera-myu-week 2022 | Day 4: Dream Arc

The fourth Sailor Moon story arc has been adapted to stage a few times. Somewhat as rare as the second arc, but Bandai used Dream elements in other productions more often: specifically, the Amazon Trio and Amazoness Quartet. Though in fact, to this day there’s never been a stage adaption of the Dream arc featuring the Quartet, for both Bandai and Nelke opted for the trio. The four girls were only seen twice, and in a different story!

First musical adaption dated from 1995 Latest musical adaption dated from 2016

[landofanimes]

@sera-myu-week 2022 | Day 1: Dark Kingdom Arc

The first Sailor Moon story arc has been adapted many times on stage, specially in recent years in the Nelke musicals. Bandai musicals, while not adapting it directly much, frequently incorporated elements of it in Stars arc musicals by including Queen Beryl in the show, and sometimes the Shitennou as well - in which case they were basically mashing both arcs together, fusing the first and last stories into one.
