All life in this galaxy has a shining star within itself...
A legend in a far-away country said that everyone has one...
You and me too...
The stronger the light, the more they shine...
That's way I hate giving up...

I read about an interesting fact a while ago about why Sailor Moon Stars didn't release outside Japan, especially America... The reason is because Sailor Starlight gender... They have confusing gender, and some people said they do trans gender because when in human form they're guys but when they become Sailor Senshi they're girls... Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon's mangaka) actually made them pure girls, they just cross dressing in human form, but in anime they change in to guy and girls... It made Naoko upset of course because based on Naoko statement, only girl can be Sailor Senshi... The change reason is because the producer need more emotion and built relationship between Usagi and Seiya (Sailor Star Fighter) so they make Sailor Starlight are guys in human form... Then because they are originally female so they transform in to girl when they become Sailor Senshi... Based on the story, for not making their gender weird, the reason they become guy because they need to find their princess, so to attract more girl (they believe their princess disguise to be one of their fans) they disguise their selves as guys...
I thought, the reason is make sense, but still some countries didn’t tolerate that… For me Sailor Starlight didn’t change their sex, they just use similar disguise power like another Sailor Senshi, but people did’t get it, they think Sailor Starlight do transgender lol… A lot of Sailor Moon fans, especially in America, get mad about that… They already angry because in English dub of Sailor Moon series, they change the story a bit, like Haruka (Sailor Uranus) and Michiru (Sailor Neptune) relationship… In English dub, Haruka and Michiru are cousin instead of lover like in the original story… I first notice this fact when I watch Sailor Moon series in youtube, some of the viewer who usually watch Sailor Moon in English dub get confuse because in that youtube channel (with English sub) it show the true story… They confuse why Haruka and Michiru flirt each other lol…
Imao, it just an anime show, so let it be… If they wanna prevent that from kids just simple put a parental advisory sign because basically Sailor Moon isn’t for kids, it’s for teens and adult, especially the manga…
This is the opening song of Sailor Moon Stars... I love this song, it's really nice... Here's the lyrics:
Kanashimi ga ima, Sailor Smile Kisekio o kosuno, Sailor Wing Dare datte kagayaku hoshi o motsu
Makenai!Ashita e Sailor Yell Zettai!Tsukamaeru Sailor Star Kono chikai, todoke ginga made
Anata ga kieta sono toki kara, sagashitsuzukeru tabi ga hajimatta
Kibanda chizu ni wa Stencil no tenshi no e Yubi sasu saki wa Dark na Colosseum ga matteru
Furueru mune ni wa, ano hi no himitsu no kiss Donna ni tsurai, sadame demo Oitsuzukeru kara
Kookai wa shinai Sailor Eyes Anata ni tsuiteku Sailor Wind Kono uta wa, hoshi no michi shirube
Makenai!Ashita e Sailor Yell Zettai!Tsukamaeru Sailor Star Tenshi no, hane de tobitatsu no
Hitori de hashiru mishiranu michi Yatto tadoritsuita kono toride ni
Frasco no soko anata ga no koshite itta shirenno hoshi no hitokakera saa jumon'o tonaeyou
Kore wa futario no Miracle na syukumei Kakomo mirai mo tobikoete oitsuite miseru
Kurushisa ga ima Sailor Eyes Kisekio okosu no Sailor Wing Dare datte, unmei no hoshi o motsu
Makenai! Ashita e Sailor Yell Zettai!Tsukamaeru Sailor Star Kono chikai, todoke, ginga made
Kurushisa ga ima Sailor Eyes Kisekio okosu no Sailor Wing Dare datte unmei no hoshi o motsu
Makenai! Ashita e Sailor Yell Zettai! Tsukamaeru Sailor Star Tenshi no, hane de tobitatsu no...
Translation:
Sadness is in this Sailor Smile Arising from a miracle, Sailor Wing Someone or Something is holding the glittering star
I will not lose! Towards tomorrow, with a Sailor Yell Without doubt! I will catch you! The Sailor Star Let this pledge be delivered til the ends of the galaxy
From the time when you disappeared, An unending journey to search for you has begun
On a map yellowed with age, a stenciled picture of an angel Points a finger to a Dark Colosseum that awaits our arrival
The heart trembles from that day's secret kiss No matter how difficult it is, I will continue to find you
Don't grieve, the Sailor Eyes! This is about you, the Sailor Wind! This song knows the path of the star
I will not lose! Towards tomorrow, with a Sailor Yell Without doubt! We will find you! The Sailor Star Flying upon angel's wings
Running alone and discovering a path At last, with great difficulty, I have found this tunnel
At the bottom of a fresco your trail is shown Someone hanging on a star is gesturing me to come by chanting a spell
This is the miraculous fate of two people Even if you cross into the past or the future, I will still find you
Pain is in these Sailor Eyes Arising from a miracle, Sailor Wing Someone or something is holding the star of fate
I will not lose! Towards tomorrow, with a Sailor Yell Without Doubt! I will catch you! The Sailor Star. Let this pledge be delivered til the ends of the galaxy
Don't grieve, the Sailor Eyes! This is about you, the Sailor Wind! This song knows the path of the star
I will not lose! Towards tomorrow, with a Sailor Yell Without doubt! We will find you! The Sailor Star Flying upon angel's wings...
