The Sailor Moon Theme Song was the theme song for the original English dub of the anime. It used the same melody as the song Moonlight Densetsu, but had very different lyrics (said to be written by Andy Heyward) and an altered instrumental. It should also be noted the song somewhat resembles a superheroine anthem, rather than being about love like Moonlight Legend was.

At the time the English dub was released, it was unusual for anime theme songs to be translated, and this was one of the first attempts to do so in English since the anime Star Blazers in 1979 (26 years before the anime's dub introduction). The English theme has been described as "inane but catchy" by several people.

Opening Credits[]

Fighting evil by moonlight
Winning love by daylight
Never running from a real fight
She is the one named Sailor Moon

She will never turn her back on a friend
She is always there to defend
She is the one on whom we can depend
She is the one named Sailor...

... Sailor Venus
... Sailor Mercury
... Sailor Mars
... Sailor Jupiter

Secret powers
All so new to her
She is the one named Sailor Moon

Fighting evil by moonlight
Winning love by daylight
With her Sailor Scouts to help fight
She is the one named Sailor Moon
She is the one named Sailor Moon

She is the one . . . Sailor Moon!
