PGSM Reinako things I want to yell about, in no particular order (9/∞)
"Mars Reiko"
I feel like this is another one of those Reinako moments/hints that I don't see people talk much about, but I absolutely have been thinking about it since I first watched PGSM. lol
Tumblr media
I absolutely loved that PGSM had Minako be the only person to ever give Rei a nickname, and the specific nickname is just... to good to be true?????
I don't mean the "Mars" part of this, since it's so self-explanatory. But the "-ko" in "Reiko"???? Oh boy.....
Some context about the character "-ko" and its use in Japanese:
The "ko" sound in kanji is "子", which usually means "child". But depending on the context, the character could also reinforce a sense of "preciousness" or "endearment" when used on someone with familiarity, since y'know.... children are generally precious and endearing. (Says the OP who doesn't like children... lol)
It's a Japanese diminutive (a "cute" version of a word), more often used in female names (though less often in the present than it was a few decades ago). Case in point - "ko" in "美奈子" (Minako).
While not as commonly used, it does get used in making pet names/nicknames, usually for young kids or girls.
When someone uses "-ko", especially between romantic partners as a pet name, it usually denotes a sense of affection, endearment and possession (in the sense that this is "my chosen person", not as in "I own them" coz that'd be nasty), as if to say their partner is precious to them.
Now, as I said, "-ko" pet names are not the most common, BUT it does get used. And in the original canon (manga), which couple uses this pet name?????
USAMAMO!
Tumblr media
Now, Reinako shippers, think about Minako calling Rei "Reiko."
Not to mention you can also see this as Minako choosing to slap a character of her own name into Rei's nickname.
Tumblr media
When I think about this fact I just go... ADKADHOR#BJ#@!JFawtjI@J*#Y$#*@B 🤯🤭
Admittedly this is one of my sillier, surface-level posts in this Reinako series, but thinking about this still drives me crazy!
I would love to be able to ask writer Kobayashi-sensei just what exactly was going on in her galaxy brain when she decided on Rei's fake stage name? Like did she even realize this is another Usamamo parallel that she did? Especially coz Mamoru doesn't call Usagi "Usako" in the live-action, as if she just gave that right to Reinako. lol

Half the Hikawa Shrine's revenue comes from exorcising angry and violent ghosts for various patrons. Including the Japanese government. This is actually how the Hino family became wealthy.
It's also why Rei's father is terrified of his late wife, his daughter, and father-in-love: he didn't believe in the supernatural before marrying into the Hino family, only to be body snatched five times during the honey moon.

On Jun 27 7:44PM JST, Keiko tweeted in English to address her Western/global fans, talking about her upcoming role in Sailor Moon Cosmos and her general love for the series, with mention of her time in the live-action. <3
My best guess is this post was indeed written by Keiko herself. Keiko is actually fluent in English - she did an English immersion program to study English in America after her time filming Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
This lovely lady is an absolute gem!

This is a tiny bit late so I added an extra prompt as a wild card if a certain day wasn’t inspiring. Just for funsies 😁
