Cheiko Kawabe was runner up in the live action for the part of Sailor Mercury. She wanted it SO MUCH! But sadly she didn't. But she got to be Naru and she even said she liked be Naru better, it gave her a chance to also work on other things like her CD while filming. Plus she didn't have to walk around in the winter in a mini-skirt.

Cheiko Kawabe must have been anxious to become Ami ^^;; But I'm sure the actresses for Ami right now suits more than her anyway XD So, does Cheiko Kawabe sing in musical? I'm guessing that's the whole point?
Are the characters in Musical young, or are they older, and acting younger?

I downloaded some musical clips from : www.junketsu.com/ and from a variety (no subtitles) They add new ones and rotate them, so they might be different ones next time. This time, they are all on the outer senshi. Unfortunately the costumes aren't that nice and the wigs look really wrong. Interesting idea though. I think it would be fun for the performers actually. Personally I think most of the voices are aggressive and their dancing is really sharp too. I think they are older, acting younger from the looks of it. I’m not sure how old these production are or who the actress are, so I wouldn’t know ^^;; There were the ones I’ve downloaded and seen: * Choubi! Uranus to Neptune!*- features Uranus and Neptune Vs enemy. You get to see a glimpse of Usagi, Mamoru and Chibiusa. * Fukkatsu! Crisis Yurusumaji**- this was an interesting one to watch. It features Uranus, Neptune and Pluto Vs Enemy. I thought it was quite funny when Neptune was flying around on the stage..ehehe….at the end the three of them attack. It was much like how they did it in SMLA Kirari super performance, but no planets came out to attack ( obviously ^^) They just said there lines…flashes of light and the enemy run off stage . * Miss Dream- Hotaru sings here. I think Usagi here looks freaky..her yellow hair is so bright, bright red PJs and how she just sits on the swing in the air o.o * To a Brand-new World- this one is cool ~~ focusing on Sailor Saturn! She doesn’t look that bad in the clip and her singing is quite good. I also thought it was interesting to see all the other senshi (Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chibimoon and Tuxedokamen) Because it’s only a clip, I don’t know what happened before in the storyline but looks interesting. Who’s that villain? Zirconia? The other senshi looked like they were in trouble… at the end, Super Sailormoon and Tuxdokamen had a dialogue each. Their voices sounded a lot like the SMLA ones ^^;; * Onna no Ronsou*** - singing by Pluto! She looks quite pretty too. It also features, Queen Beryl ( I think she looks ugly..), Sailor Saturn and 3 others- I couldn’t see properly. At the end, Saturn performs Silent Wall. *Orleans no Sei Senshi ~Uranus-Neptune no Uragiri- SO EXCITING!! This seems to be taken straight out of the anime series Stars Season, last battle against Galaxia. Starts off Evil Uranus and Neptune (taken over by the braclets of Galaxia) VS Pluto and Saturn with Galaxia watching them. Their starseeds get taken away from them by Uranus and Neptune as Sailormoon, and the Three Lights make their way into the scene. ..just as Saturn disappears she says something about believing in Sailormoon. Uranus and Neptune kneel next to Galaxia and you could tell Sailormoon was in disbelief about Uranus and Neptune betraying them. Just like the anime, when it looks like Uranus and Neptune were about to get their starseeds, they turn to shoot at galaxia…then you find out she has no starseed and they die, leaving the Starlights and Sailormoon really sad. Before Uranus and Neptune die..they reach out for another like the anime. I thought it was really emotional, and played really well- just like the anime. When they disappear there is a black out. I was actually really excited to see the Starlights cos I didn’t see pics of them before. They look great! * Forbidden Hades- this one features Sailor Pluto, as the door of time opens up ( I think that’s what’s it’s supposed to be). Chibiusa (in princess outfit) also appears. *Makin For The Right- the 4 outer senshi sing and dance here ^^ Neat. *Broken Mobius- again, the 4 outer senshi sing and dance here.. Chibiusa (in princess outfit) also appears here.

Choubi! Uranus to Neptune! - The fighting looks just way to corny... The song is kind of catchy... Ick Neptune has a hidious wig! Fukkatsu! Crisis Yurusumaji - I like the song, and DS is right, Neptune flying around is just... priceless XD! I do like how they are fighting... it looks like the live action fighting (dancing and spinning around). Umm... can anyone hear Pluto attack? She just kind of holds up her staff. Miss Dream - Really Disliked this... I don't like the actress for Usagi or the hair. But Hotaru has a pretty voice. To a Brand-new World - Saturn is stunning in this. I beleive she is bringing the senshi + tuxedo kamen back to life. I like just they way its all works, she isn't making big movements but its very powerful. I beleive it is Zirconia.. for some odd reason. But alll together very pretty. Onna no Ronsou - I really like this one, as I am the big fan of Pluto. She sounds really good (wonders who the actress is.) Beryl looks odd yet she sounds pretty. I do beleive Galaxia is there too, on the upper stage. Thats Uranus and Neptune isn't it... by Beryl near the end (this plays right before Orleans no Sei Senshi I think, cause it looks like it) Orleans no Sei Senshi - This is so sad! Its such a sad moment and they played it so beautifuly. Um... is their a reason sailor moon is Super? I really like this and it must of been so exciting to see it live. Even though I've seen the stars I totaly didn't think the two would attack Galaxia ^^; it actually shocked me... So touching their death. Starlights look odd in their blue outfits. Forbidden Hades - ^^; the time gate looks really pretty, I want my bedroom door to look like that now. I like the song, yet its funny when Pluto says Forbidden Hades (which is odd... forbidden hell... wish I could understand more) Um. Is this ment to be the first meeting of Pluto and Chibiusa cause Chibiusa asks Sailor Pluto who she is and Sailor Pluto replys 'guardian of the time gate, Sailor Pluto' (or somthing along those lines) Dosn't Pluto have anamazing voice? (Wants the time staff!!!) Chibiusa too cute in the wig. Makin For The Right - I heard this song before, and its one of my favorites. Uranus starts out a little strong (the clip makes it fuzzy) But the four look really cool dancing and twirling and introducing them selves. Must download song and listen over and over! Broken Mobius - This one isn't as good as the last one (above) but its not bad. They look odd dancing and doing weird arm movements. But some parts are neat, like during the gutair solo, very showy light show. Is Chibiusa leaving cause she's scared of these four girls who just randomly broke into song? Thanks for posting the site DS!

Everyone's favorite best friend! Actress, Kawabe Chieko, of Naru orginaly played Sailor Mercury for awhile (as I said before) and here is a pretty picture of her... looks way diffrent with the wig... Newest Musical... Venus scares me. Neptune has the best wig so far. The toned down the brightness of the YELLOW wigs and made them more of an orange-yellow.

lol, in those clips on junketsu.com, The Uranus in 'Broken Mobius' and 'Makin for the right' is Nao Takagi. She rocks, seriously, lol. Had she still been in SeraMyu - I might have actually considered going to watch one. I agree, Digilee, Venus on that pic is rather scary... but Saturn is well cute! That is the best Neptune wig I have ever seen... Usually I hate them cause they look terrible.

Interesting comments, and thanks for the link DS ^^ I dl them all too.. and I agree with what you two have said. Sailormoos' wig is toooooo bright and .. eww.. ~_~
Loved Hotaru's singing.. very soothing and nice to hear....
I guess I really enjoyed watching *Orleans no Sei Senshi .. extract from the anime XD However.. I kinda laughed my way thru it, and ruined the sad atmosphere... @_@ I know.. Jen's odd.

I love that (despite the lack of Nao), it's one of my fave songs... I haven't seen the Stars anime (but I know the story, sort of)... I must admit I laughed when Neptune and Uranus attacked Galaxia... just the way they did it... it made me giggle. Ah, SeraMyu... lol... Edit: I finally found it! I swear, this site has been down for ages, but it's working now. 4dw.net/takaginaosama/antics/antics.htmMy fave SeraMyu site... ever. It's got lots of humor (and a huge section dedicated to Nao Takagi - but then, she deserves it). Does anyone know if you can get the third and fourth stages (including Kaiteibans and FanKans) on DVD with subs? A bit of both I think... they get young Japanese girls with some experience in the industry (the ChibiUsa's and Saturns are usually very young) but usually older women to play Uranus, Neptune etc (Nao is 28, so was early twenties when she played Haruka) The current Neptune, Takayo Oyama, is only 17...

Agreed. For some reason they never seem to get blonde wigs right... if you look at pics of Usagi and Minako from the first stage... they look really bad, it's actually quite comical... However they usually get the sandy blonde of Uranus' wig ok (except for some reason it looks slightly green in that pic Digilee posted lol), the darker wigs usually look fine

Myu Myu Myu... I'm still obsessed - so I thought I'd share another site... www.destinedcouple.com/harshdomainThis is a Takagi Nao and Asami Yuhka fansite, but it has loads and loads of clips of songs and scenes. Watch them, I dare you to not love them! As well as seeing that Nao, Yuhka and Hosaka Yuko kick a$$, you will also see Kanbe Miyuki being an absolutely adorable Moon, as displayed best in the 'Wake up Shining' clip, and the 'outers' scene from Death Vulcan. There is a very funny, anime-esque, part at the beginning when she tells Chibi Usa that 'little kids can't go', i nearly choked laughing! I suggest you watch that clip especially cause you get to hear Nao laughing but they're all excellent, and the site is updated regularly (there was a while back in May when it was updated weekly!). Another new clip - the Choubi competition - is hilarious! The dancing in all the songs is excellent - Makin' for the Right is still one of my faves... and Honoo no Messenger, which is Mars' image song. The intro from Transylvania no Mori has Kawabe Cheiko's first introduction as the new Mercury... Also, I found out where to get fansubbed Sera Myu dvds - zap.to/cruelangel I have an online friend who bought one and she says they're excellent quality.
