Why do you like Sera Myu? It’s tacky.
You’re tacky. But really… I love all things Sailor Moon. The musicals are very close to my heart. I love the actresses and actors, the stories, the music, the dances… everything. Maybe you should look more closely before you judge.

What is your favorite musical?
Kakyuu-Ouhi Kourin! I cried several times watching it.

Who is your favorite Usagi from Sera Myu?
I love them all for different reasons. Anza and Marina are most Usagi like. Fumina and Miyuki are beautiful, amazing dancers, and awesome singers as well. As for my absolute favorite… gah. I can’t pick just one.

What are stages?
In English, stages go by the actress. Anza is first stage, Fumina is second stage, Miyuki is third sage, Marina is fourth stage. However in Japan, there are considered to be 3 stages. Anza is first stage, Fumina, Miyuki, and Marina are all second stage, and third stage is the last few Marina musicals.

Character Questions

Could you please tell me who Chibi Chibi is?
Chibi Chibi is Galaxia’s star seed. During the Sailor Wars in the past, Galaxia sealed Chaos inside of her body. She removed her star seed and sent it away. When her Star Seed reached the Earth, it took the form of Chibi Chibi. She was the light of hope that the Starlights were looking for.

Are the Starlights transgendered? Are they men or women?
 They are women, disguising themselves as male pop stars on earth while searching for their princess. It is revealed that males singing for a princess would be less suspicious. They physically used the male bodies.

In the manga, the Starlights only cross-dressed as men in civilian form and did not physically become men. The reason for this cross-dressing was the same as the reason their anime counterparts took on male bodies.

Who’s the guardian for earth?

Tuxedo Kamen/Tuxedo Mask.

Is Setsuna in love with Mamoru/Endymion?
It was hinted at in the manga by things she has said about Endymion. Her unrequited love was especially mentioned in the musicals. There was even a song about it called “Onna no Ronsou.” It was Setsuna and Beryl singing alternating verses about their unrequited love for him.

Why does Pluto have darker skin?
Two theories:

The first theory is that Naoko chose to make her a different nationality. Japan is not a homogenous society. There are several racial minorities in Japan such as the Okinawans and Ainu and even among the “main” Japanese population there is quite a bit of genetic diversity.

One theory is that Sailor Pluto is from Greek heritage. It’s stated several times that her father is Chronos, one of the Greek gods from the ancient world. The Silver Millenium also appears to be set around the time of the Greek gods (though this has not been confirmed) with the architecture seen in Endymion’s kingdom on Earth which also supports this theory.

Cosplay Questions

Is Ebay a good place to buy cosplay? What about other cosplay sites?

Absolutely not. I’m so glad you asked me this! When you pay for cheap, what you get is CHEAP! There really are no sites where you buy a good costume. It’s best to go to a commissioner that knows what they are doing. Those costumes are mass produced and made in warehouses. They also use very very cheap material that’s shiny and wrinkly. Everybody that I know that has ordered from Ebay/CosplayHouse/CosplayFU/Milanoo has either gotten a wrong size, wrong order, or missing a glove/accessory. They also fall apart easily. By the time you buy it plus the boots… you could of had a wonderful commissioned costume. 

Where can I get a costume made?

It depends on what you’re looking for. You best bet is to check out cosplay.com and look at costumes. If you see something you like, ask if they take commissions. You can also post on the boards with exactly what you’re looking for.

edit:I have found an awesome costume maker on Etsy! Check her out here!

Where can I get shoes/boots & tiaras for my cosplay?

Catzia has it all.

Where can I get accessories for my cosplay?

Etsy.com & SetsunaKou (click on the character you want, scroll to the bottom to view accessories.)

edit: MapleProps! She makes wonderful brooches, tiaras, and earrings!

Does SetsunaKou make good cosplay?

Yes and no. I’m not gonna lie, some things on there are pretty bad. But the Myu costumes look pretty amazing.

Where can I get a good wig?

Epic Cosplay. I’ve ordered from them before. The wigs can be styled.

Another good site would be Cosplay Wigs USA.

Where did you get your Sailor Moon/Usagi wig?

I made it myself. It took about 10 hours to make.

Do you take commissions for wigs?
Make me an offer and maybe we can work something out.

Did you make your cosplays?

No I didn’t. I have a commissioner, and she’s amazing!
