Of the six Sailor Senshi actresses, five remain active. Hama Chisaki (浜千咲 - Sailor Mercury) became unemployed when her teen fashion magazine job with 「melon」 went away with its cancellation. Not long afterward, her official website announced she would be taking a break for both health reasons and to prepare for college entrance exams. That was in February 2006. This, combined with a lack of updates to her website, leads most people well familiar with the Idol industry to believe she has retired. By now, Izumi Rika, her real name, would be finishing her first year of college. Sawai Miyuu (沢井美優 - Sailor Moon) is continuing to do the occasional Idol video with 「Fresh : Re : Fresh 」being her most recent. In between videos, she has done a little acting work, including a role in a horror movie, a part in a play, and voice work in the Black Cat anime and the Fullmetal Alchemist movie. She has "graduated" from her job as a model for the teen fashion magazine 「ラブベリー」(Love Berry). Kitagawa Keiko (北川景子 - Sailor Mars) "graduated" from the teen fashion magazine 「SEVENTEEN (Japan)」 last year. After PGSM, she began working in the movie industry, appearing in 7 movies, including her first starring role in 「Dear Friends」which come to Japanese theaters this past February. Azama "Mew" Myuu (安座間美優 - Sailor Jupiter) continues to work in the fashion industry after winning the 38th non-no Modeling Grand Prix last year, which earned her a promotion to 「non-no」which is a college-aged fashion magazine, from 「SEVENTEEN (Japan)」from which she retired at the end of last year. Komatsu Ayaka (小松彩夏 - Sailor Venus/Sailor V) continues her Idol work with the occasional Idol DVD or photobook in between appearing in television shows. She has appeared in a pair of Japanese The Fast and the Furious clone movies. Her latest DVD was released this past January while her somewhat scandalous and most recent Photobook 「Moon Doll」was released in February 2006. Koike Rina (小池里奈 - Sailor Luna), now 13 years old, is following in Ayaka's footsteps as both a TV star and a blossoming Idol after a good Jr. Idol career. Beginning over the winter, she has appeared in nearly 30 Idol magazine issues, including the covers of the Jr. Idol magazine 「ピュアピュア」(Pure Pure) and the Idol magazine 「Chu→Boh」both released recently, ahead of the April debut of her regular role on a new Japanese TV dr Source: genvid.com/

Poor Ami-chan lol~ she was really cute and all. I feel happy Mars and Jupiter though =) Mars is a great actress and I'm glad she's getting promoted because she worked hard for it.

Komatsu Ayaka had a small uncredited cameo in 2006's "Babel". She was on the TV, I dunno if it was newly shot or just reused from something she did before, but it was weird to see her.

Last month, the five of them reunited to celebrate Komatsu Ayaka’s (Venus) twenty-second birthday! Sawai Miyuu (Moon) and Ayaka are moving up the idol ladder, releasing photobooks and modeling videos one after another. Izumi Rika (Mercury), formerly known as Hama Chisaki, has just barely returned to the industry from her educational studies and is currently one of the Princess Pinky competitors. The most successful senshi, Kitagawa Keiko (Mars), has starred in many movies and series, including going to Hollywood for a minor role in The Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift. Her latest series, Homeroom on the Beachside, is now airing. Azama Miyu (Jupiter), is walking along as a fine model of CanCam magazine while attending university. Source: Ever Star

I was like "hmm... who is the random girl at the end?" Its cool to see them stay in touch. Ohh maybe there is hope for more Sailor Moon! Oh and yeah, I still love Kitagawa Keiko. She is just so stunning, and her role in Fast and the Furious 3, though small, was very amusing. She was very Ami like I will say. I do think outta all the girls she has the most star potential to break out in Hollywood. I recommend watching her series Mop Girl. Simply amazing and shows that she is a true amazing actress.

No, I gotta say Hama Chisaki is the least attractive... her hair and in both shots she has these wide eyes that look really weird, like she is forcing herself to have fun.

Well, that's true too.. so I guess both of them have become pretty..unappealing. Ami in this pic at least... shame, she looked so much better with straight black hair. lol

I most enjoyed her with the blue wig ^_^ but I guess that isn't style she wanted to stay with outside the show... shame.
