Bandai has released this fantastic commercial for their upcoming S. H. Figuarts Sailor Moon figure. The commercial features the voice of Sailor Moon from the original anime Kotono Mitsuishi and features a number of different parts that are included with the figure. You can watch it below.
The figure will be officially up for pre-order on May 8th, though as we have mentioned some sites have already started taking pre-orders for the figure. Once more details about the pre-orders and the figure are announced we’ll be sure to share them with you.
Wow is that really Kotono Mitsuishi? It doesn’t sound like her… but then again, she has gotten older…
Listening to it actually reminded me of a lot of the commercials she did that used to air back when Sailor Moon was still on TV. The quality of these are horrible because they were copies of copies of fansubs from Japanese TV, but you’ll get the idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV11uilUsJ4
Thanks for that Adam! I found the “making of” video interesting, too (the one where Naru is narrating). It was obviously Naru but she still sounded really different from in the show. I guess the recording process would be a bit different between a commercial and a show, so it makes sense that she’d sound a little “off”. Either way, I’m glad she’s reprising her role!
