Changes: Moonlight Densetsu

Revision as of 04:35, 18 February 2020

"Moonlight Legend" is the original opening theme of the Sailor Moon 90s anime series. It was used in the first four seasons of the anime, before being replaced by the "Sailor Star Song". Upon release, it was one of the series' most popular songs and is about Usagi and Mamoru's love for each other.

Information

"Moonlight Legend" was first performed by DALI as the opening theme for the first two series in the anime, and then by Moon Lips for the third and fourth. The song was then replaced by the "Sailor Star Song" for the fifth season's opening, but "Moonlight Legend" returned as the ending for the 200th episode.

"Moonlight Legend" has been covered and remixed many times by artists such as the punk supergroup Osaka Popstar, and other Japanese singers like Kitade Nana and Tsuji Nozomi, along with popular voice actors like Megumi Ogata, the voice actress of Haruka Tenou/Sailor Uranus. It is believed that the song's melody was inspired by "さよならはダンスの後に" (Sayonara wa Dance no Ato ni), a cha-cha ballad sung by Chieko Baisho in 1965. It has also been noted that the song's melody sounds similar to "想い出の九十九里浜" (Omoide-no Kujuukuri-hama,, the first single from J-Pop group Mi-Ke. The single was released in 1991, one year before "Moonlight Legend" was released.

The song has been translated or has been matched with the theme and sung into many other languages, with several of them being used for other language dubs of the anime, such as the theme song of the Filipino dub where it was sung by veteran singer and actress, Angelika Dela Cruz. The 90's English dub's intro, however, uses the same melody with different lyrics.

Lyrics

ゴメンね　素直じゃなくて
夢の中なら云える
思考回路はショート寸前
今すぐ　会いたいよ
泣きたくなるよなmoonlight
電話も出来ないmidnight
だって純情　どうしよう
ハートは万華鏡

月の光に　導かれ
何度も　巡り会う
星座の瞬き数え　占う恋の行方
同じ地球に生まれたの　ミラクル・ロマンス

も一度　ふたりでweekend
神様　かなえてhappy-end
現在・過去・未来も
あなたに首ったけ

出会った時の　なつかしい
まなざし　忘れない
幾千万の星から　あなたを見つけられる
偶然もチャンスに換える　生き方が好きよ

不思議な奇跡クロスして
何度も　巡り会う
星座の瞬き数え　占う恋の行方
同じ地球に生まれたの　ミラクル・ロマンス

信じているの　ミラクル・ロマンス

Gomen ne sunao janakute
Yume no naka nara ieru
Shikou kairo wa shooto sunzen
Ima sugu aitai yo
Nakitaku naru you na moonlight
Denwa mo dekinai midnight
Datte junjou doushiyou
Heart wa mangekyou

Tsuki no hikari ni michibikare
Nando mo meguriau
Seiza no matataki kazoe uranau koi no yukue
Onaji kuni ni umareta no miracle romance

Moichido futari de weekend
Kamisama kanaete happy-end
Genzai kako mirai mo
Anata ni kubittake

Deatta toki no natsukashii
Manazashi wasurenai
Ikusenman no hoshi kara anata wo mitsukerareru
Guuzen mo chance ni kaeru ikikata ga suki yo

Fushigi na kiseki kurosu shite
Nando mo meguri au
Seiza no matataki kazoe uranau koi no yukue
Onaji kuni ni umareta no miracle romance

Shinjite iru no miracle romance

ゴメンね　素直じゃなくて
夢の中なら云える
思考回路はショート寸前
今すぐ　会いたいよ
泣きたくなるよなmoonlight
電話も出来ないmidnight
だって純情　どうしよう
ハートは万華鏡

月の光に　導かれ
何度も　巡り会
星座の瞬き数え　占う恋の行方
同じ地球に生まれたの
ミラクル・ロマンス
