Check out this music video for Moon Pride, the theme song to Sailor Moon Crystal by Momoiro Clover Z. The music video shows a decent look at Silver Millennium, the ancient kingdom on the Moon where Princess Serenity and Endymion fell in love. We also have a good look at the Sailor Guardians, including transformation footage of Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus which we hadn’t seen yet.
This video is an advertisement for the CD and Blu-Ray release of Moon Pride to be released on June 30th. Both the CD and Blu-Ray release include Moon Pride, the opening theme, and Gekkou, the ending theme. Both are performed by Momoiro Clover Z. The CD and Blu-Ray combo pack version includes this music video. The CD only version includes a cover of Moon Revenge, the theme song from the Sailor Moon R movie, as performed by Momoiro Clover Z. Check out the cover art for both releases:

I really loved the imagery, but felt it wasn’t the best pacing for this song. This is such a powerful, fast paced song, and I felt it should be set to more action oriented imagery. The love stuff is too slow a pace.
What’s with all the emphasis on the CGI? It’s annoying. I prefer traditional animation, and the CGI makes them look weird.
Still, love the song, and I might know a place where I can download it to my iPod.
I agree that the imagery doesn’t fit with the pace of the song.
I really wish they would cut down on the use of CG. It … does not look good, and they keep using it. It is jarring and awkward and I keep cringing at the screen because oh my god -why.-
I understand that CG is ~the~ thing that ~everyone~ is doing these days, but if you’re going to do it, at least do it right. This is sloppy and really just sad and I’d honestly rather see amazing animation than really crappy CGI. I’ve seen children’s straight-to-DVDs with better CG.
