I’ve been listening to the Sailor Moon Crystal, Eternal, and Cosmos OST for 4 flipping months.
How did I only just recognize that every sailor senshi’s seiyu Is singing in Moon Effect?? The song that plays in Usagi’s Eternal Transformation scene. THE SCENE IVE WATCHED THE SHIT OUT OF CUZ IM OBSESSED
Like I instantly recognized Haruka and Michiru’s seiyu singing Eternal Eternity
And I also recognized the Amazoness quartet’s seiyu were singing Welcome to the Circus (an absolute banger btw)
BRO KOTONO MITSUISHI IS THE ONE SINGING THE MOONSHINE PART HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THIS???
Wait do the senshi sing Moon Pride too? I’m pretty sure it’s a specific singing group but now I gotta fricken check LOL
Okay they don’t it’s Momoiro Clover Z like I thought lol. They also sing more SM songs which I like a lot.
Sorry I just find voice actors singing opening themes or songs not directly sang by the characters for anime really fricken cool.
Like how Saori Hayami sings the openings for both seasons of Akagami no Shirayukihime and Voices Shirayuki.
I’ll die if I ever hear a duet between Mamoru and Usagi’s seiyu-
Hi future Fairy by like 2 minutes here:
Kenji Nojima the voice of Mamoru sings the Tuxedo Mask ending in Season 3.
Misato Fukuen the voice of Chibiusa sings the Chibiusa ending in Season 3
ALL THE SEIYU ARE SINGERS IM GONNA IMPLODE
You know this is making me want to watch the Sera Myu musicals now lol
Fr if anyone sees this post please just reblog with a list of every song for this franchise sung by a character voice actor I will be over the moon
Kotonoha is apparently an older word used for words. The kanji typically used are say and leaf. Hence the leaf looking shaping below.
Naoko Takeuchi drew new artbook just for this book and the picture is signed by both of them.
Forward by Keiko Kitagawa, the voice of Sailor Cosmos and the actress for Sailor Mars in the Live Action version. They are really good friends in real life.
Roughly translates as a thank you for being so kind. Keiko watched Sailor Moon since she was a little girl and is so grateful to be able to work with her.
Below is a drawing of Sailor Mars. Please note Keiko was not revealed to be the voice actress for Sailor Cosmos until June 2023 and this book was published in March 2023.
Lots of pictures in the beginning of the book.
Love these pictures.
I wonder where these were taken.
I would have tripped horribly on that skirt to take a picture like this.
So.... I have a long way to go to be able to read all of this. The anime scripts are significantly easier since they are written in more basic Japanese.
Not sure who they are.
Concert picture. I'm guessing late 1990s.
Childhood pictures.
Right are more childhood pictures. On the left appears to be an old report card but I'm not sure.
Photos are from March 1998, one year after the Star season ended.
She debuted in 1989. Lists some of the shows that she worked on.
I'm hoping to be able to read this book one day as well as all of the cast interviews in the visual artbooks but I have long way to go. Kanji is no where near my friend. Looking forward to testing more of language skills when I watch the Cosmos movies in a few months!
Kyou wa Curry da yeah, yeah, yeah (今日はカレーだイェイイェイイェイ, Today is curry yes, yes, yes!)

Personality
Chrysalis is extremely laid-back and easy going, to the point of appearing lazy or sluggish to some people. While it's true that she's not one to rush things, she's also fairly responsible with her schoolwork and other responsibilities. Naturally calm, she is not easily fazed or annoyed, unless she is being ordered around or rushed, in which case she might get a bit confrontational. Chrysalis is very well liked and easy to get along with, which has earned her a decent social life despite her difficulty with remembering people's names. She enjoys lightly teasing people regularly and doesn't mind others doing the same to her, so long as she's not being mocked or insulted. She has good self-esteem and is generally not too concerned with others’ opinions of her, whether it be of her appearance, personality or otherwise. She does not pay much attention to how she dresses, and prefers comfort over style. However, she is very picky about personal hygiene, and thanks to her affinity for fragrances she always smells nice.
Background
Chrysalis comes from a family of metalworkers and jewelry crafters from the Queendom of Roses, although some of their ancestors were originally from the Scalding Sands. Being curious and persistent as a child, she learned how to work with metal from her parents at a young age, and is fond of all forms of arts and crafts projects. She also enjoys mixing fragrances and either creating perfumes or incorporating them into handmade candles.
She has three older brothers who attended NRC when Chrysalis was young. The siblings are very close, although the boys regularly make fun of Chrysalis for being considerably shorter than them and other members of her family, which always puts her in a bad mood.
Chrysalis is a butterfly beasthuman who has not gone through her metamorphosis as of her second year at NRC.
Unique Magic/Signature Spell
Chrysalis’ signature spell is called Puff. She can produce smoke from her mouth that intoxicates people and neutralizes another person’s magic. The smoke can make people feel lightheaded, sleepy, nauseous, or delirious depending on how much of it they breathe in and how concentrated Chrysalis makes it. While it affects mages and non-mages alike, it seems to have a stronger effect on people or creatures with magical abilities, as it disables these abilities completely for a short amount of time and leaves them feeling very weak overall. Once a person is affected by it, the only solution is to wait for the effects to pass, since Chrysalis can’t control the smoke once it enters another person’s system.
In a duel, Chrysalis can surround herself with her smoke and use it as a shield, as it repels magical attacks and it does not intoxicate her. However, it does block her own magical attacks, so she has to let her defense down before attacking. The amount of blot this spell produces is proportionate to the amount of smoke she releases and its concentration.
While she does not need it to use her signature spell, Chrysalis often uses a metal pipe to better control the flow, direction and concentration of her smoke. She crafted the pipe herself and always carries it with her.
Trivia
Chrysalis was a very late bloomer when it came to her metamorphosis - while most butterfly beasthumans’ wings and antennae grow when they’re around 9 or 10 years old, Chrysalis’ didn’t happen until she was almost 18 and studying at NRC. She had to spend a month and a half holed up in the dorm and taking remote classes while she dealt with the pain of her body’s transformation (and learned how to function with 3 ft wings growing out of her back). It was not a good experience for her or anyone in Heartslabyul.
Since she didn’t have any visible butterfly traits before the metamorphosis, most of her classmates didn’t know she was a beasthuman until her antennae started poking out of her head
She loves obscure, weird authors and poets, and writes experimental poetry from time to time that makes no sense to anyone else. She also entered (and won) many spelling bee contests as a kid.
As fond as she is of making weed and 4/20 jokes, she does not smoke - it’s all her magic
She’s second only to Leona when it comes to finding the best places to nap on campus
Riddle had a physical reaction to her cardigan the first time he saw it; he hates it so much
She sometimes chews on her pipe when she’s deep in thought, even if she’s not using it for her signature spell at the time
((Speaking of which, her pipe will be redesigned because what the fresh hell is that))
Can often be found singing or humming under her breath when she’s alone
While she loves and makes all kinds of jewelry, she doesn’t wear any herself that often
She doesn’t have the best memory when it comes to people, and forgets someone’s name 3 seconds after they introduce themselves
