The Sailor Moon series has ALOT of songs in it. So which out of

The Sailor Moon Anime Series [approximately 85 songs]
The Sailor Moon Musical Series [approximately 180 songs]
The Sailor Moon Live Action Series [approximately 19 songs]

do you think has the best songs, and for what reasons [not including background music or instrumental pieces, this argument is purely for lyrical songs]

Note, this is about which version's SONGS you like best. Not which version you like best overall

Here are four very recognized songs which hold some sort of importance to itself from each version as an example, remember they all have many more wonderful songs! I've tried to use slideshows and still photo videos over things like AMV and video clips although it has not always been possible. Keep in mind this is about the songs not the videos :

ANIME:
Moonlight Densetsu [Opening Theme Song for first four series]
You're Just My Love [Sailor Moon first season, final episode insert song]
Sailor Team no Theme [Accompaniment Song for Sailor Moon S Movie, Team image song]
Sailor Star Song [Opening Theme Song for fifth series]

SERAMYU:
La Soldier [Overarching Theme Song]
Sailor WAR! [Recurring Battle Song]
Millennium - Koi no Senshi ja Irarenai [Recurring Team image song]
Ginga no Sanctuary [Theme song played at milestones]

PGSM:
Kirari ☆ Sailor Dream [Opening Theme Song]
C'est La Vie ~ Watashi no Naka no Koi Suru Bubun [Recurring song throughout series]
Here We Go! -Shinjuri Chikara- [Usagi Tsukino Image song]
Friend [Final Act Closing Song]


*EDIT

If you guys are having trouble placing them the songs
"Koisuru Otome wa Makenai"
"Onaji Hoshi ni Umareta Futari Dakara"
"Sunlight Moonlight" fall under the category of "anime" in this discussion.

I personally think the anime series had the best songs.

Sera Myu has really nice songs, but it doesn't spark the same way for me as the music did in the anime. PGSM also has incredibly great songs, but still just doesn't get me like the way the music from the anime has.

For me it would have to be SeraMyu, the anime has nice songs, but its a bit of a mixed bag although I love songs like "Tuxedo Mirage", "Unmei wa Utsukushi", "Tuxedo Night" and "Tsuki ni Shikumarete" there are songs that are okay, but wouldn't make it into my top 50 such as "Ai Kotoba wa Moon Prism Power Make-Up!" and "Rashiku" Ikimasho". The anime also has many songs that I like but it just doesn't stick in my head like "Sei Hi Ai ~ Fire Soul Love ~" and "Nagareboshi He" and so the anime, outside the major songs such as "Sailor Team no Theme" "Moonlight Densetsu" "Morning Moon de Aimashou" "Otome no Policy" and the other opening and ending songs, are just okay and don't blow you over, I find PGSM's are slightly less catchy than the anime's but many of them are either too peppy or not peppy enough. So in the end it comes down to myu which has such a extensive variety of genres and styles, pretty much all brought by the same woman. Unlike the anime and PGSM which stick to "generic 90s / 2000s pop" of their times respectively. Their songs are just a little dated... while myu's songs are more timeless Just songs like "Amazon kara Circus dan ga Yatte Kita" "Galaxia Gorgeous" "The Last Change" "Honoo no Messenger" "Sailor War Supreme" "Ai yori Houseki Kaguya Shima" "Triangle Secret" "Tsukiiro no Syndicate" and all the rest just get stuck in my head and don't go away, I also find that for me the myu music has more heart and love into it... the best way is to compare the similar songs between the anime and myu say "You're My Jewelry" over "You're Just My Love" or "Namikimichi no Koi" over "Anata no Yume wo Mita wa" or even "Tuxedo Loyal" over "Toki wo Koete...". PGSM on the other hand, didn't really have enough songs coming out of it. A grand total of 19... the last of which was "Happy Time Happy Life" which is sort of a disappointment had i been "the final song associated with Sailor Moon ever written" luckily the musical's "Yakusoku no Uta" replaced that title in 2005...

In short what song do you think is the better send off to an epic series as it reachse its end?

Doublepost because I thought it was best to include this, in case someone's heard a song that they don't recognise or wants to see which season/series a particular song is from or even wants to see what songs they haven't seen. Multiple versions of a song are NOT including unless there's a major lyrical change such as between "Tabidachi" and "Usagi to Yonin no Zureru Omoi" however songs like the French remake of Moon Revenge has not been included:

This list was compiled by me, if there's anything missing comment!

As much as I love select songs from the anime, like Moonlight Densetsu, Moon Revenge (my all time fav song i think), Sailor Star Song, Route Venus, etc. etc., I have to agree with Miki. In my time, slowly watching the myus, the songs are entrancing and easily get stuck in your head.

They have a wide variety of styles from up beat pop to dark beautiful ballads. Its hard for me to get the melodies of many of the Myu songs out of my head.

La Soldier is a classic and songs like Sailor War, Sailor War Supreme, and Koi no Senshi are just epic songs, and you really get the feel for the battle the Senshi are about to begin.

A lot of the songs convey so much strong emotion and are over all just beautiful.

I think PGSM really lacks in the music area, which is disappointing. While I enjoy songs like Kirari Sailor Dream and C'est La Vie...they don't grab me like the songs from Myu and the Anime.

Yeah its not that the anime's music isn't great or anything, it just hasn't got they same heart as the myu's. Especially as the myus have one main composer who wrote all except for about 3 songs of the songs and two main lyricists who wrote almost all the lyrics for the songs between them except for about 5. Their dedication really comes through better for most songs. Its very good to pick out songs from the anime, but on the whole the musicals just win. I want to clear up that I love the anime songs but the myu songs tend to have more originality and heart in them I feel. Below is a comparison of songs that have similar purposes in the anime and myu. Personally I feel in each case the myu wins except Namikimichi no Koi and Anata no Yume wo Mita Wa where I think its about a tie X3









Goodness this is really a video spam page now.

You know...i have to say... Galaxia Gorgeous will always be > Golden Queen Galaxia. Same with Chasin' After You.

I have a hard time deciding on I am Sailor Moon over Last Change simply becuase they are two different styles of songs completely...and I've always loved the spunky and upbeatness of I am Sailor Moon, it shows her happy upbeat personality, but Last Change is a really good emotional look into her as well, makes her seem more mature, like the manga. So hard. T_T

:3 Yeah I think perhaps I should have picked another Sailor Moon image song to compare... @_@ Perhaps Yumemiru Dake ja Dame and Knockin' Down Hesitation or something?

Hmm~ what do you guys think of the comparisons above

bump it
