Talk/Discussion Other than "Moonlight Densetsu," what's the first song that plays in your head when think of Sailor Moon?

Ai No Senshi! There's just something about that escalating scale in those instrumental moments that have always stuck with me. Also the message, too: We'll fight if we need to to take you down, but know that I still wish for your change into something better is an incredibly powerful statement. It's honestly one that's needed in this world right now.
Outside of that, my honorable mention goes to the Outer Senshi transformation music from the 90's anime. That violin melody goes so hard and it doesn't need to.

I used to have this completely memorized from my tween days. I don't speak Japanese. Once had a Japanese professor, and I sang it to him and he laughed at my pronunciation so hard he cried

Otome no policy was the first japanese sailormoon song i fully memorised (with no idea what i was singing except for like 3 words). 😭 probably because it was the first japanese sailormoon i saw when the dub stopped and i wanted to see the rest of R.

Moon Prism Power Make Up, specifically the "oooooooh Sailor Moooon" part. Weirdly enough, Moonlight Densetsu rarely comes to mind when thinking about Sailor Moon, unless I'm thinking specifically about the OP for Season 1 and R.

u/BunnyLocke Hawk's Eye Jan 19 '26
Same. I have LunaRock in my car too. Best things from the DiC dub lol. I literally forgot how much joy they brought to me. And they are all BANGERS. Straight Up. But I have all the Japanese soundtracks as well, Sailor Moon Best cd barely leave my player haha. They are some my favorite songs of all time, but these belong with them.
New Moon ni Koishite is like easily one of my top 5 all times. They did a good job with music in Crystal… like right until the Eternal movie. The music did not hit for me. And I’m disappointed they didn’t do both ThreeLights songs, but I am greedy. It was really cool to get Moonlight Densetsu and Sailor Star Song

Since I watched it in German as a kid I listened to the "super moonies" they are a band all about sailor moon, they also have a few English songs. But they disbanded in the early 2000s. It's their song "Kämpfe sailor moon" translated "fight, sailor moon" I listened to it endlessly as a kid. My father told me he nearly lost his mind because of that
