To quote my wife, “The FEELS.”

Oh my goodness, the feels.

You may remember that last autumn we encountered the flyers for this concert and, although we couldn’t go to the concert itself, we picked up a pile of the fliers at the Sailor Moon shop because they were so cool. 

We finally had a chance to listen to the Sailor Moon Classic Concert Album with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra (東京フィルハーモニー交響楽団 の 美少女戦士セーラームーン 25周年記念Classic Concert ALBUM ). It’s pretty darn great. ^_^

The concert included anime opening, eyecatch and transformation music, accompanied by the voice of Sailor Moon herself, Mitsuishi Kotono-san. The Tokyo Philharmonic covered the openings and closing from all 5 seasons with the exception of “Kaze mo, Sora mo” from the fifth season. They did an extended remix of Sailors Uranus and Neptune’s themes, and “Eternal Eternity” from Sailor Moon Crystal as well as the Sailor Moon Crystal opening and two of the endings. They even did “Ai no Starshine” from the new Sailor Moon Musicals.

Two of the songs got vocals, “Rashiku Ikimassho” (La la Never Give Up, Gambaru ha!”) and the “Sailor Star Song” (Makenai! Ashitae Sailor Eeru, Zettai! Mitsukeruyo! Sailor Star, Tenshinohanede Tobitatsuno~!)

All in all it was a wonderful look at 25 years of the series and for us, it was a lot of fun to listen to fully orchestrated adaptations of very typical 1990s anime music. ^_^

Ratings:

Overall – 10 and a lot of big grins.

If you’re a fan, I recommend this album with all my recommends. It comes packaged with many feels. ^_^
