Sailor Moon - Moonlight Densetsu (lyrics)

Disclaimer: I do NOT own this song.
"Moonlight Densetsu" (ムーンライト伝説, lit. "Moonlight Legend") is a song that served as an opening theme for the anime series Sailor Moon.
The original version of the song was released in Japan on March 21, 1992, on a split single by Dali and Misae Takamatsu titled "Moonlight Densetsu / Heart Moving" (ムーンライト伝説/HEART MOVING). The Dali recording of "Moonlight Densetsu" served as the opening theme for the first two seasons of the anime adaptation of Sailor Moon. Another version of "Moonlight Densetsu" by Moon Lips was the opening theme of the next two Sailor Moon anime seasons.

Japanese version: Summarizes the entire story.
American dub: It's sailor moon! Let's go!

[@Fontomia]

Why can't I tell you all of these feelings
It's so much easier when I'm dreaming
I think my brain's about to short circuit
I really wish I could find the words
And now I'm crying under the moonlight
I wanna call you up, but it's midnight
What should I do with all of these feelings
Like a Kaleidoscopic heart
The light that shines down from the moon
Will guide the way
And once again, it leads me to you
The constellations sparkle in my dreams
And so I wonder if it's a blessing
As if by fate we're born on the same planet
Just like a miracle romance
So let us have another great weekend
And I will pray it has a happy end
I'll still be here past, present, and future
Head over heels in love with you
I can't forget the way you looked at me that day
When I met you the very first time
Within the sea of stars under the night sky
I could still find you if I closed my eyes
I love the way the world gives us moments
That we make our own destiny

[@LUNA-fl2tl]

I watched the original Sailor Moon first (the old version). Today I tried watching the 2014 version, and I felt sad because some iconic words were changed. For example, “moon tiara action!” became “moon tiara boomerang!”. And me being a person who memorized the lines, well, I was quite displeased. The opening also changed and I wasn’t used to it. I do like the fact that Sailor moon crystal focuses on the story, but for me I think things escalated to fast. Maybe it was just because I was used to the old Sailor Moon’s pace. In the end, I found myself searching for the old opening and ending song.

[@melho818]

I was the same, I couldn watch the new version till the end no matter how many comments says its better. The old version will always stay in my 🧡

[@grace19005]

FYI, Sailor Moon Crystal is an adaptation of the original manga (which came out before the 90's anime) and her attack in the manga was called Moon Tiara Boomerang. The thing is, you can't expect Crystal to be exactly the same as the 90's anime because then what would be the point. It's a new version for a reason.
