Perfect Blue: Book VS Movie (SPOILERS)

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Leftovers, y'all! Call me a teddy bear, I'm stuffed. And now that we've fixed our plates and put everything away, it's time we get down to the juicy underbelly of Perfect Blue. The Book VS the movie.

I can see why everyone liked the movie more than the book. But here's the thing: It's nice to read about how Mima Kirigoe's world was before the 90s film came out. Some characters' personalities were drastically different in the light novel than in the movie. We also get introduced to other characters that didn't make it to the film.

Okay, so MAJOR SPOILERS past this point!! Read if you dare!

In this light novel, Mima is still a pop idol but she had always carried herself in a traditional way and was always kindhearted to her fans and her team, unlike her snooty rival Eri Ochiai. But she felt like she needed to shed her image as an innocent, childlike pop idol to show the world that she wasn't a kid anymore. Much to the displeasure of her "Darling Rose". He kept sending her letters and calling her phone begging her "Please don't change, stay the innocent Charming Rose you are" "I'm your biggest fan" and all that jazz.

Rumi is supportive of Mima's decision to be a sexier pop idol, unlike the movie where she's against the idea of her leaving CHAM to become an actress.

Mr. Tadakoro, Rumi, and Murano were very protective of Mima when they found out about that obsessed creep who kept stalking her. But in the movie, Mima started getting harassing letters after she quit singing. And everyone just kept sweeping it under the rug as if nothing happened.

Murano, the Photographer, is actually a nice and charming guy and not a total pervert like in the movie. He helped Rumi and Mr. Tadakoro rescue Mima from that crazy man, Me-Mania.

Eri Ochiai was Mima's rival in the novel. She was snobby, manipulative, and demanding toward everyone and was jealous of Mima. Think Megumi from Creamy Mami but a little bit worse. Eri would do anything to remain in the spotlight even if it meant trying to ruin Mima's image by hiring a shady reporter, Sakuragi Shin to spy on her and catch her with her new date. (She slept with him as a means to try to get a scandal out on Mima. Eri also slept with Aran Naoto, Mima's ex-boyfriend who was a rock star, I think.) But unfortunately for her, she met her untimely end at the hands of Me-Mania

Me-Mania/Mamoru Chida was more disturbing in the book than in the movie. He didn't have a name in the book. He was always called "That Man". He's a big fan of Mima Krirgoe...well too much of a fan. Mamoru would call himself Mima's "Darling Rose". He had an unhealthy obsession with Mima and other Pop Idols and was a wanted criminal. He kidnapped a little girl, killed her, and took the skin off her leg, He even killed Eri Ochiai and took the skin off her face, and he tried to kill Mima as well. The guy's a creep, he doesn't even bathe, and he has a huge collection of VHS tapes of the other Idols, Mima and Eri included. He has risque photo books of certain pop idols and he pleasures himself to them (except Mima of course because of her purity as an idol, to which he's heavily devoted). He repeatedly harassed Rumi to the point where he kidnapped her to lure Mima to him.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Both the book and the movie gave these characters fleshed-out personalities and uniquely showed the entertainment industry's dark side, what really goes on as soon as curtains close. If I had to choose between the book and the movie, it would be the movie because it's one of my favorite films and it's unforgettable to this day!

Until next time, my friends!

Sailor V Crescent Compact- Gashapon & Bandai 1995 🧡🌙✨

Gashapon Sailor Moon Crescent Compact and 1995 Bandai Sailor Moon Crescent Jewelry Box w/ ring.

I got these from eBay and I fell in love! They almost resemble Codename Sailor V's Crescent compact mirror and Crescent boomerang. The "Empyrean Jewel" ring was fun to put on but it only fits the pinky finger. However, in the Gashapon compact, the ring can't be taken out. This is as close to Sailor V merch we'll ever get. This could be a good startup if you're looking to start a Sailor V/Venus collection. I only hope Sailor V's items will get the Proplica treatment one day. I've always wanted the transformation pen w/ a retractable antenna. Maybe her Microphone wand, too! They're sleeping on my girl, Minako Aino.

I just got my Sailor Moon Raisonne Art Book today! ✨🌙⭐💖

OH YES! The book arrived extra early and it's so beautiful! It's nice to see a 'timeline' of the Sailor Moon artworks and I fell in love with how Naoko Takeuchi's style has evolved over the years. I could see why people were complaining about the size of some of the pictures but it was fun to use my phone as a magnifying glass to see the small pictures without burying my face too close. Overall, It's beautiful!

Naoko Takeuchi's Chocolate Christmas 🎄🍫(1987-1988)

This light-hearted holiday manga is about a girl named Ryon who falls in love with a radio personality, Mr. Choco.

I read this and I fell in love with this artstyle because I enjoyed Sailor Moon and wanted to read more of Naoko's other works. I wish it was an anime Christmas movie like "Christmas in January/Ichi Gatsu Ni Wa Christmas"
