A CD collecting music from the Sailor Moon 25th Anniversary Classic Concert is coming December 6th! This concert, where the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra performed songs from various Sailor Moon series, took place in Japan on August 2nd and 3rd at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre. This album will be released in Japan but is available to order online from sites such as Amazon Japan and CD Japan. The price is 3500 yen which is about $33 US.
The album collects mostly opening and ending themes from all five seasons of the original Sailor Moon anime, a couple of songs from the musicals, a few songs from Sailor Moon Crystal and a bit of instrumental background music. Some songs are instrumental while others include vocals. A track listing is available on the Official Sailor Moon site. I’ve translated it and included it, and a description of where the songs are from, below for your convenience.
Disc 1:
1. Background Music
2. Moonlight Densetsu (Moonlight Legend) – Opening theme for the original Sailor Moon anime

Thank you for looking into that =)
Music to my ears! This will be a self Hanukkah present.
Oh yeah all ničem.. But we all want to know more about Crystal season 4!!!
Princess Moon is Season 1 Ending 2, you should fix that.
The wording was a bit odd but that’s what I was trying to say with “Second Season 1 ending theme”. I’ll see if I can fix it up.
Since things seem kind of slow lately, here’s a suggestion–I recall that some of the very earliest alpha builds of the Windows version of Mozilla Firefox (back when it was still called Firebird) had a Sailor Moon-themed progress icon. The official Mozilla archives don’t go back that far, but surely there must still be a copy of one lying around somewhere. It might be an interesting novelty if someone were to track one down.
I remember one of the icons looking like a Moon Stick. I thought it was a coincidence…
My own recollection is spinning Moon Stick + Serenity’s palace exploding, so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a coincidence.
I’d rather have a video of the concert itself.
That would be cool!
That would be cool! Too bad their musical DVDs have been kind of cheap!
