There would ABSOLUTELY be some photos of Mamoru that Usagi would post that would go viral. Idk, something like, “Everyone is so mean to my boyfriend but LOOK at how good he is!” > photo of Mamoru carrying Usagi’s 27 shopping bags, a giant stuffed toy prize on his back, while Luna sits on his head
People would recognise him on the street as “that good boyfriend from Twitter” and he would be bewildered, but also overjoyed by the one legacy he’s proudest of
Edit: “And alongside Neo Queen Serenity, we welcome her partner in benevolent rule, King Endymion” “Wait isn’t that Good Boyfriend from Twitter?” “:’)c″
Sera Myu (セラミュ; abbreviated from the words “Sailor Moon musical” (セーラームーン・ミュージカル) in katakana) refers to the series of Sailor Moon musicals staged in Japan between 1993 and 2005. Many of the productions were based on plotlines taken from the anime and manga, while others were based on original stories. The Myu has had 29 separate productions with over 800 total performances.
Termonology:
Fan Kansha or “FanKan” – A special performance for the fans of the musicals.
Guide Video – Behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the musical, as well as interviews with the cast and Fan Kansha footage.
Omake – Bonus footage that appears on a video, including things such as rehearsal footage.
Kaiteiban – A revised version of a previous musical.
Senshuuraku – The final day of a particular musical. Senshuuraku performances often had more ad libs or jokes, and at the end of the performance, the graduating cast members would be given a special farewell.

Notes
♡ = a musical I think you should watch if you’re casually interested in Myu
None of the musicals were ever professionally subtitled in English. Every sub is a fan sub so keep that in mind.
Please don’t feel overwhelmed by this list – unless you’re serious about watching every single video release I highly suggest you just ignore “FanKans & Omakes.”
The Third Stage / Dracul Arc doesn’t have any ♡’s because it’s a series so watching them individually wouldn’t make any sense (except maybe Last Dracul Jokyoku because it has some old plot elements) however it’s a really interesting stage with a vampire theme so I do recommend watching the whole thing.
Which brings me to my last note about stages- technically there are only three stages (the first ending at 1998 Eien Densetsu (Kaiteiban), the second at 2004Kakyuu-Ouhi Kourin and the third of course with 2005Shin Kaguya Shima Densetsu (Kaiteiban)) but Western fans consider each Moon’s run a stage of it’s own so that’s how I tag and label my posts.
Monochrome, not supposed to exist, ended up as senshi

For my birthday, I promised myself I’d finish something I started, and I’ve been working on this off and on for too long. Not my absolute best, but I’m happy with it.
