Dear Chibi,

I just got these in the mail and was so excited I had to share it…

SAILOR MOON PENCILS!!!!!

These were sent to me by a reddit user named NyaKatey who offered to give some of her pencils away to strangers JUST BECAUSE :D How sweet is that?

Thanks NyaKatey! This totally made my day :)

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday I did some room cleaning and rearranged my desk~ I decided to put all my little Sailor Moon goodies together to make a little corner for it :D

Dear Chibi,

Look what finally arrived in the mail~ Chibiusa’s Time Key! :D

Isn’t that cute? I was really happy with the Crisis Moon Compact Necklace I bought from Kumacrafts a few months ago and when the ‘Time Key’ popped up I knew I had to get it! To be honest, I would have liked it better if the key itself was a bit smaller (to match the size of the actual time key)~ it’s kinda massive and looks bigger than my Crisis Moon Compact ^^; On the other hand, Kaz ordered Sailor Mercury’s Star Henshin Wand, and it’s soo adorable because it’s so small XD! Great detail on that one too :3

Not long after I ordered these, Kumacrafts announced a new Star Locket necklace is in the making, and OMG its pretty. She’s gonna make me broke, halp… ;_;

For now, I think I’ll just go and travel to the future, teehee~

Dear Chibi,

Yaaay! After waiting for about a month, I finally received my very own Crisis Moon Compact necklace created by the talented KumaCrafts! This is based on Sailor Moon’s Super S henshin compact from the 4th season. It’s sooo adorable and pretty and shiny! I’m really happy with it.

Now I’m having second thoughts about wearing it… what if I accidentally damage it? D: Guess we’ll see ^^;

Dear Chibi,

On the night of 6th July 2012, I heard one of the most exciting news of my life: A brand new Sailor Moon anime is being released next year world-wide. It is a complete reboot of the series and will be based on Naoko Takeuchi’s Sailor Moon manga and targeted at older fans.

I have never been so happy about a release.
I couldn’t sleep that night.
I was so so excited and giggly for the next several days.
Chibi can die happy :D (After she finishes the series!)

I decided to write this blog entry (although over a week late) to mark this occasion. I want to remember this feeling forever :)

Twitter went nuts that night. “Sailor Moon” was also trending on twitter and news spread like fire :D It was such an amazing feeling to be able to share with other fans :D

Dear Chibi,

I wasn’t expecting to find much (if anything) related to Sailor Moon while in Japan, but I kept my eye out for them anyway :) As some of you may know, I don’t have much of a Sailor Moon collection.  I wrote a little bit about it here when I bought my first Eternal Sailor Moon gashaphon. Other goodies I own include the manga (Chinese), some VCDs, stickers/cards, gifts from HK and Sailor Moon cels.

Anyway, this entry isn’t about sharing my mini collection, but rather, the stuff I did manage to find in Japan and the stuff I bought :D All of these items are official and not bootlegged :)

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Live Action) Sailor Moon doll
(Bandai 2003) Second hand, box unopened.

I love this one so much :3  I’ve always wanted to own a Sailor Moon doll, and I’m glad this is the first “doll” I’ve ever had in my life XD (I never had any dolls as a child) I found this gem at a little old store in Mitaka on my way back to the station after checking out Ghibli Studio Museum.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon gashapon set (new) @ Golden Age in Akihabara

Golden Age sells some really really old stuff. The store is full of dust but that only excited me more XD I spent a good amount of time here going through boxes and shelves and finally came across these. These were new. yaaay. The store owner was really nice, and when I picked these up he informed me these were from the Live Action incase I was looking for anime versions. Of course, I knew that already but I appreciate how he informed me and not just try to sell his stuff. It was also in this store where I found a Luna P ball! More about that down below XD

Eternal Sailor Moon, Figure Maniacs Sailor Moon and Usagi (Sailor Moon World (Series 5) gashapon)

I was really happy to find the Figure Maniacs Sailor Moon. I love it so much and have always wanted her >w< The style is very different to the others and the detail is pretty amazing. I found her and Usagi with the ice-cream from the same store in Akihabara. I also found a Super Sailor Moon gashapon at another store but decided to pass since the store owner was nowhere to be seen >.>;; Usagi with the icecream and Eternal Sailor Moon actually come from the same series set :D

Dear Chibi,

I finally got around to drawing a new Sailor Moon fanart :) A lot of my recent Sailor Moon related art has been in the form of comic strips (MoonSticks) or Chibi Dolls. It’s only when I realised the other day that my last proper fanart was from 4 years ago (Eternal Sailor Moon), that I knew it was time for a new one.

I really enjoyed the process of making this. It took roughly 12 hours from sketch to finish and I’m really happy with how she turned out. I hope you love it as much as I do.

For the first time, I took a bit of inspiration from the manga version of Sailor Moon (the wavy skirt, accessories etc), but drew her in my own style. It feels liberating :D

I think her legs may be a little awkward there, but hopefully it’s okay :)

Work-in-Progress:
