The new episodes of Sailor Moon Crystal, covering the Infinity arc of the manga, will have three different ending themes! When the trailer launched we previously announced that the new opening would be “In Love With the New Moon” sung by Etsuko Yakushimaru and that the ending theme would be Eternal Eternity sung by the voices of Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, Junko Minagawa and Sayaka Ohara. An announcement on the official Sailor Moon site tell us that this is only the first ending theme as there will be two others! Misato Fukuen, the voice of Chibiusa, will sing Otome no Susume or Maiden’s Advice and Kenji Nojima, the voice of Tuxedo Mask, will sing Eien Dake ga Futari o Kakeru or Only Eternity Brings the Two Together.
A CD single with the opening theme In Love With the New Moon and first ending theme Eternal Eternity will be released on April 27th. Two others CDs will be released at about a month interval. A CD single with the same opening theme, In Love With the New Moon, but sung by Mitsuko Horie and the second ending, Maiden’s Advice, will be released on May 25th. Mitsuko Horie provided the voice of Sailor Galaxia in Sailor Moon Sailor Stars and sang the cover of the Sailor Stars theme on the 20th Anniversary Album. A third CD single again with the opening In Love With the New Moon but this time sung by Momoiro Clover Z and the third ending theme, Only Eternity Brings the Two Together will be released on June 22nd. Momoiro Clover Z sang the original opening theme, Moon Pride, which appeared before the first 26 episodes of Sailor Moon Crystal.
All three will be a CD/DVD combo with music videos included. MSRP is 1500 yen, about $13 US, each. You can pre-order these CDs from online retailers such as Amazon Japan (1st CD, 2nd CD, 3rd CD) and CD Japan (1st CD, 2nd CD, 3rd CD).
I thought Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were doing that?
Think again.
They will be. As it says in the post, we are getting three new ending themes for this season! I’m so happy, since I really didn’t care for Moon Rainbow last two seasons.
So many new songs. Will any of them end up on my iPod this time? Only time will tell.
I won’t lie I’m not a huge fan of constantly of series having so many new songs. I have watched some series that have changed songs every 8 or episodes. I prefer they stick to one. Unless of course this season has more episodes but even then I don’t want too many. It’s good for the fans of the songs though. I hope that also means this season is more episodes! Last 2 seasons should have been 26 or 30 something episodes each to give us new stories and follow the manga if it made sense. This season I hope will allow for some of that but from what I read it’s probably even less likely to happen.
