Super Moonies is a German Pop Group that performed almost all of the songs in the German dub of the Sailor Moon anime. The band formed in 1998, the year when they released their first album, "Sailor Moons Welt". Their last album, "Silver Millennium – Best of Super Moonies", was released in 2000.

Associations with Blumchen (Jasmin Wagner)[]
As both acts perform the same genre of music it's unsurprising that they were associated at times, indeed the first German opening sounds a lot like it was performed by Blumchen. Super Moonies were seen in Blumchen's biography video Blumchen 95-98. The band's choreography was done by Kris Mohfanz who also did the choreography for Blumchen's Jasmin Live 1998 Tour. Bianca and Gabby appeared in both videos of Blumchen's song ist Deine liebe echt in 2000.
