Well, what can I say. Just call me Serena! Ditzed out again and forgot about the Moonie Music Monday! I'm currently creating the next two months worth of music video spotlights and placing them on time release so I don't miss anymore. Fingers crossed!
For those interested here's the website for my Tokyo Kids Yoga Classes.

Moon Prism Power!

The deadline for the Deep Submerge Awards is in just a few days on the 31st of November! make sure to get your votes in! (Something I need to do asap!) Also apparently two categories weren't working so if you tried to vote (in those categories) and it didn't work I guess you can now try again!

A classic Sailor Moon website from the past has been reborn! The Sailor Moon Funny Faces Gallery is back!!! One of my favourite layouts in recent times and a great feature that allows you to comment and vote on images in the gallery! Bookmark this baby! Love it so much I've now affiliated with it!!!

The Oracle has been updating quite a bit.

Chibiland has just created Planetary Princess Chibi Dolls!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it.

The uber impressive Destiny Revival Project has a new website. This guy has made his own Sailor Moon games that you can play on your PC, PSP, Dreamcast (and maybe others). Right now has games based on the first and second season and is working on a Sailor V game and a PGSM game (can't wait!)

Ah, and Sailor Moon Obsession has a kind of preview for her video blog feature coming in early 2009! Seriously very impressive preview video. LOVE the animation!!!

In site news, I have tonight off and Saturday and Sunday and am determined to update the site in some big ways. Expect affiliates to be updated, the Sailor Moon Musical Guide and several other pages.

Wow! I just realised I completely forgot a Moonie Music Monday! Really sorry guys! My first ever Kids Yoga classes were on at 9:20am Monday morning in a studio over an hour away and I was just so nervous and excited about it I forgot about the update. I don't get home until 7:30pm Monday nights and once I got home I used my free time to eat dinner and prepare for my first Tuesday classes the next day which started at 8:45am!!! (Needless to say I was very tired on Wednesday!)

In case you're interested the classes went really well! Teaching Kids Yoga to kids 3 - 8yr old kids in Japan is so much fun and really rewarding!

To relate this more to Sailor Moon, during my teacher training each teacher had to do a "practice lesson" using a kids yoga lesson plan they wrote themselves. I based a whole class around Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart and it went off! Definitely will be reusing it in one of my real Kids Yoga classes in the near future. I always find using a topic that interests kids to teach them something (be it English or Yoga or something else) really maintains their attention and motivates them to learn. I've begun thinking about writing a Sailor Moon themed Kids Yoga lesson plan lately. The show's values definitely connect to the Yoga value system and the numerous aspects of nature and of course the obvious posing done by the characters makes it a very natural fit for a Yoga lesson theme.

When I write this lesson plan, I'll definitely post it here for people to use. Are there many teachers, Yogis or parents who read Moonkitty.NET who would be interested in Sailor Moon Yoga lesson plans? Comment on this post if you would like to see this kind of content.

p.s. In other site news, I've transferred my site feed to Google so it now has a new address: http://feedproxy.google.com/sailormoon. You don't need to update you feed programs though as the old address will be forwarded to the new one. If you're a clean freak like me though you may want to.

Now on with the Sailor Moon Roundup!

Moon Collection is a great new Sailor Moon blog well worth subscribing to. Covers the merchandise side of Sailor Moon fandom and is well written with some great pictures!

Sailor Tiger's Grotto has added a new picture.

The Sailor Moon Fanlisting is almost up to 10,000 members! If you haven't joined up, do so and let's show everyone how popular Sailor Moon is!

A new version of Moonlight Soldiers is on the way.

SailorCosmos.org has some new content.

Senshi Card Mania R has updated about a possible continuation (though also an equal possibility of not continuing). If you're a fan, check it out.

Check out these cool Sailor Galaxia graphics!

Sailor Moon Obsession continues to rock with frequent content.

Several old school animes coming to film soon have been rather active though still no news of a Live Action Sailor Moon Film. The first teaser for the upcoming CG version of Astro Boy has been released and looks pretty cool. Would you like to see a CG Sailor Moon film? The same guys that made this Astro Boy film made that kick arse Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie. Something tells me they'd do a good job of Sailor Moon (April and Casey looked great!).

The Dragonball Movie is looking pretty cool and word is a He-Man movie, G-Force Movie and a Voltron movie are also in the works.

Of course there's the second Transformers Movie out next year which is probably my most anticipated film. Strangely enough, while I hated the DBZ anime (and I do mean hated) I'm actually really looking forward to the DB movie. Go figure.

While I'm on a retro kick, if you were born in the 80s you probably saw the Disney movie, Race to Witch Mountain. Well check out the trailer for the remake! Pretty kick arse!

Back to Sailor Moon, The Deep Submerge Awards only have two more weeks left to vote for your favourite sites. Don't forget!

Some cool updates and news this week:

UsagiandMamoruUniverse.com has heaps of updates worth checking out.

The fan Sailor Moon Musical production seems to have been changed into a fan Sailor Moon Musical MOVIE. Cool.

There's a Sailor Moon Radio Show airing at 9:00pm - 11:00pm EST every Monday. Check it out if you can.

Sailor Moon had a hillarious reference on this TV show's Halloween episode. Highly recommended!

Sailor Moon also appeared on The Price is Right (on a side note: Drew Carey, how the mighty have fallen! Game show host?!?!)

The Official Site has the latest chapter of the S arc animated.

And if you haven't checked out the new fandub of Sailor Stars... what are you waiting for?!?!

Yes I'm a Buffy fan, and for some reason really missing the show right now.

Thought I would do a search for Buffy and Sailor Moon and WHAM! Found a video to that beautiful piano piece from Buffy Season 2, Close Your Eyes.

Buffy fans will get it. Those who have never seen Buffy (or the famous scene in Season 2) won't. ;)



And now for the opposite:




P.S. I know I've shown Buffy/Sailor Moon videos before. What can I say? The two fandoms overlap one another!

First of all, sorry about the lack of posts in this past week. I'm actually trying to start up my own Kids Yoga Studio here in Tokyo, so naturally it's been taking up a lot of my free time. Got any kids in Tokyo? Come on by for a class! ;)

Anyway back to Sailor Moon!

Great news this week (actually this morning)! The first episode of the Fighter4Luv Sailor Stars English Dub has been released and.... WOW!!! If you have fond memories of watching the DiC English version on tv as a kid you will absolutely love this! Personally I had to keep reminding myself that it was a fandub! Professional voice actors, DiC & Japanese music cues, 3D transitions and.... well just watch it for yourself!

Here are the links. I didn't embed them here as I normally do because I recommend going to their page at YouTube and clicking on the watch in high quality link under the video.

English Sailor Stars Part 1
English Sailor Stars Part 2
English Sailor Stars Part 3

In other Sailor Moon news:

Kirari-PGSM.net has posted a very thoughtful post about a fellow Sailor Moon fan who needs our help. Read the post about what is needed and what you can do and make sure to check out Sara's Blog as well and leave a message.

This has me thinking about the possibilities in the Moonie online community and what we can all accomplish. Hmmm...
