It has some great guests including voice actors Vince Corazza, the voice of Alan and Tuxedo Mask, Tony Daniels, the voice of Jadeite and Wise Man, and David Fraser, the voice of Raye’s Grandpa and other minor roles in the series. Jennifer Cihi, who sang many songs for the English dub, will be there to perform a concert. For more information on this and other events at the convention check out the event’s web site.

The second Toronto Sailor Moon Celebration will be taking place next month, on July 9th, at the Ontario Science Center. This year has some great guests in store yet again.

Jennifer Cihi, who provided the vocals for many songs in the original English dub of Sailor Moon, will be there to perform a concert. Fan Fiction The Show, who have previously done comedy shows in Toronto about Sailor Moon and other fandoms, will be putting on a live comedy performance at the convention.

There will also be a lot of Cosplay guests including Yume and Kitsurie from Cosmeko, Jelly Cosplay, and Ammie Cosplay. I met Cosmeko at Unplugged Expo a couple of years ago and they had some great tips for making Sailor Moon costumes and accessories.

I had a great time at the Toronto Sailor Moon Celebration last year and even had a chance to participate in a few of the panels. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make the trip to Toronto this year.

At the age of 12, she began her professional career when she was cast in the role of Pepper in the 1978 Broadway National Tour of Annie. As a young adult, Jennifer lived and worked in Japan for two years performing at Tokyo Disney. Ironically, after moving back to Los Angeles, she was cast as the singing voice of Sailor Moon.

He has voiced many characters including Gambit in X-Men: The Animated Series; Maxum Brain in Sidekick; Boris Balkov, Dunga, and Rick Anderson in Beyblade; and Hawkeye in Avengers: United They Stand. Tony’s voice talents also include impressions and the ability to mimic a variety of accents.

Vince Corazza played Darien Shields/Tuxedo Mask as well as the alien Alan Granger in the DiC and Cloverway dubs of Sailor Moon. His voice has been in thousands of commercials and he has been a signature voice for many major networks. Currently he is the promo voice of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS and you can hear him daily as the voice of Dunkin’ Donuts. Vince has played roles in numerous animated TV shows, including Alden Jones on Braceface, Sam Sparks in Rescue Heroes, and Shickadance in Ace Ventura – Pet Detective. He’s also been part of various successful video game franchises including Carlos Oliveira in Resident Evil 3, Zexion in Kingdom Hearts, and The Marquis De Lafayette in Assassins Creed III. His Narration credits are numerous, namely James Cameron’s Last Mysteries of the Titanic, and most of the DVD extras for Dreamworks animated features from Bee Movie to Megamind to Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda, and Madagascar.

Yume has been cosplaying since 2005 and Kitsurie since 2008. They started doing duo cosplays in 2012. Yume loves the sewing aspect of cosplay making, while Kitsurie enjoys prop making. Both are Sailor Moon fans and have made two different sailor fukus each. Yume has also made a Serenity dress.

Jelly Cosplay is a master level cosplayer who found her passion of cosplay in 2001. She has crafted over 70 cosplays, including Sailor Mercury, Queen Beryl, and NoFlutter’s version of Sailor Venus. She brandishes several awards under her belt.
Ammie Cosplay started sewing well over a decade ago and has been actively making Sailor Moon costumes for 10 years. As a masters level cosplayer she strives to teach other cosplayers, both novice and masters, tricks of the trade and believes through her own trial and error in the art of costume making, she would like to share the wealth of knowledge she has obtained in the hobby. She has been featured in magazines and books around the world regarding her costumes.
