Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Fans of this superheroine fantasy-adventure TV cartoon series will enjoy these 10 songs from the American soundtrack. The mambolike "Sailor Moon Theme" is a favorite. Most of the rest of the songs are Sailor Moon's (Jennifer Cihi) and are bouncy, upbeat solos expressing the exuberance of youth ("It's a New Day," "I Wanna Be a Star!"), the loyalty of friendship ("Call My Name," "Carry On"), and young love ("My Only Love"). Two of the best, the sweetly hopeful "Oh Starry Night" and the slightly syncopated "Rainy Day Man," also about young love, are by other vocalists. The pulsing "She's Got the Power" is good, but alas, too generically superheroish. It lacks the personal identification with the individual Sailor Scouts that the others have. --Fred Patten

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this cd!!!! It is my fav!!!, June 17, 1999

By A Customer

I bought this cd a couple of months back and I'm glad I did! It is the most listened to cd I have! My friend borrows it because she loves Sailor Moon and likes these songs as much as I do. My favorite songs are My Only Love and Rainy Day Man. Well, I don't really have a fav, I liked them all except for Only A Memory Away! Only A Memory Away is Sailor Mecury's song and they changed it from the one in the series and it sounds too country for me. It gets on my nerves. But, since I listened to the cd so much it doesn't work anymore! Well, it still works, but it bumps and you can't hear part of the songs some of the time. Shows you how much I listened to it! I recommend you buy this cd! I guess I'm going to have to buy it again if I want to listen to Sailor Moon music more! I also plan on buying 'Sailor Moon: Lunarock' another Sailor Moon cd that has just came out. It has two japanese songs on there from the original series in Japan, Moonlight Densetsu(Moonlight Legend) and Ai No Sensi(Soldier of Love)! The rest of the songs on the Lunarock cd are from the last 17 episodes in Sailor Moon R. So I also recommend you buy 'Sailor Moon and The Scouts: Lunarock'! Sailor Moon ROCKS! ^_^

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good CD, June 1, 2000

By A Customer

Of the two Sailormoon Cds this is my favorite. Manly because, all the songs appear in the series.

Sailormoon theme- I'll admit I was never really a fan of this song, I prefered the japanese opening. Plus it sounded like two untalented preschoolers singing.

I wanna be a star- This is a very good song. It has an upbeat tune to it. I really enjoyed this song until it got to Sailormoon saying all that retarded stuff at the end.

My only love- I love this song! It was the most beautiful song from the first series in the english dub! This is supposed to be a sad song.

Call my name- I didn't like this one too much. It sounded like country music and Sailormoon takes place in Japan. This would be my least favorite.

Starry night- This is a good song, Its a slow song, but enjoyable.

Its a new day- hmmmm..... This is a fair song, it didn't really fit in with the series. the senshi(scout) had no memory of their past, and the lyrics didn't fit to what was going on.

Carry on- Great english song! It wrapped up the entire first series.It could have benn longer since the actual battle was as long as moonlight destenu!

Rainy day man- I like this song, infact, it was my favorite.

Only a memory away- no offence to who sings this but they could get some singing lessons!

She's got the power- Great battle song, I prefered Ai no senshi though, great song though.

Sailor moon ending theme-see sailormoon theme.

4.0 out of 5 stars The music is substantial, and it's worthy of your money., June 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sailor Moon: Songs From The Hit TV Series (Anime Series) [Blisterpack] (Audio CD)

This is an all around great album and a must for any die-hard Sailor Moon fan. Heck, you don't have to be a Sailor Moon fan to even enjoy it. It has the perfact combo of nastay guitar riffs on powered tracks like "Carry On" and "Sailor Moon Theme." There's also happy pop tunes. "Call My Name" is a bit too happy, but it's nevertheless a decent tune and great instrumentals (supposedly, Sailor Mars is singing it as well as the song "Oh! Starry Night.") My favorite songs are probably "Rainy Day Man," with it's R&B style grooves and somewhat depressing lyrics, and "My Only Love," which very nicely combines a romantic feel with a soulful electric guitar solo. However, like most albums, "Sailor Moon: Songs from the Hit TV series" has it's weak points. One would be the track "She's got the Power." It's the only song sung by a male preformer, whom is driven by a raspy-voice. Not only are the vocals weak, but the futile attempts at making this song sound techno were just sad electronic blips and voice distortions. All and all, this is an excellent album. But c'mon, DIC, beef it up! Add in some transformation music and some dialog tracks for goo'ness sakes.
