Both songs are beautiful and well-written, but there's something about Sailor Star Song that speaks to me more. I might be in the minority here, but I've always preferred Sailor Star Song over the original theme song, "Moonlight Legend". The "Sailor Star Song" was the opening theme song used for Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, which was the fifth and final season for Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. The song has a beautiful, tranquil sound, that captures the mysterious and powerful feel of Sailor Saturn, while also being a perfect fit for Hotaru's sweet and peaceful nature at the same time.įirst Introduction: Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, Season 5, Episode 167, "The Flower of Nightmares Scatters: The Queen of Darkness Returns"Īlbum: Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars Music Collection (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Sailor Stars Music Collection) The two songs work wonderfully together as a character song for Sailor Saturn and Hotaru Tomoe. The Sailor Saturn Theme Song appears in season three and is a combination of two songs from the Sailor Moon S Music Collection, the ten second long "Subtitle" and the one minute and fifty eight second long track "Holy Grail, Messiah. When Hotaru Tomoe is revealed to be the reincarnated spirit of Sailor Saturn in season three, the Outer Guardians plan to kill Hotaru, fearing that if Saturn awakens, she will use her powers to destroy the Earth. Her powers are so enormous, she can wipe out all life on a planet or galaxy, or reset its revolution.
Sailor Saturn's powers are linked to silence, ruin, nothingness, destruction, death and rebirth, which makes her one of the strongest and most feared Sailor Guardians. Sailor Saturn/Hotaru Tomoe is the tenth and final Sailor Guardian to be introduced in Sailor Moon. I much prefer the original melody, as seen in the video above, which is just timeless.Īlbum: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S Music Collection (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S Music Collection) In the original English dub of the show, the melody of the star locket is changed to an instrumental cover of the English Sailor Moon Theme song. When opened, the locket shines with light, and a crescent moon rotates around a starry, cloudy background, while an instrumental version of the Japanese Sailor Moon song, "Moonlight Legend", plays. We first see the star locket in season one, when Tuxedo Mask drops it after a battle, and Sailor Moon keeps it.
The Star Locket theme song is one of the most memorable musical melodies in Sailor Moon.
