I
have finally thought of a caption for this picture. |
The HICBC preview and
completed Toei
preview for Act 42. Thanks kenji!
Queen Metari's power grows strong. If Usagi cannot suppress it, the Earth
will surely be doomed. Encouraged by Naru and her friends, Usagi begins
practicing to curb Metaria's power but all the training sessions seem to
miss the mark.
These (training sessions) don't really seem to be able to protect the
planet.
Meanwhile, in the Dark Kingdom, Jadeite swears his loyalty to Beryl. Wanting
to obtain Endymion (Mamoru, in his current incarnation) no matter what the
cost, she gives Jadeite instructions.
Holding a mysterious stone given to him by
Beryl, Jadeite gets close to Mamoru...
Toei top left:
"This, this is the power to destroy the world...!"
Princess Sailor Moon's power has dragged Naru into things as well. Having
decided she will suppress that power, Usagi frantically continues her
efforts toward this end...
Yet Metaria's power is growing ever larger
until it finally affects Naru...
Can't they just assume we know it's growing and get on with it without
repeating it every minute?
The top right box:
To defeat their enemies, the power of the Ginzuishou is necessary.
Yet if the same power strengthens their enemies and
destroys the planet... No matter where she looks, Usagi has a rocky road ahead of her.
Usagi mourns the fact that Naru has been hurt because
of her, but however will Naru respond to Usagi?
A vanilla
pudding pop. (God bless you Good Humor for bringing those addicting
little bastards back. Now if only J.R. Simplot would bring back Micromagic
French fries, my return to childhood could be complete.)
Box below has Naru and Makoto in costume, as well as Usagi and Ami:
Sailor Moon has finally entered its "last spurt."
It would be pointless if the girls were (always)
scowling just because the stories are more serious, so we have been scheming
this or that, but it's certain that managing these things is getting harder
and harder. The show itself- at the same time as Usagi and her friends- run
along this perilous road.
A series of pictures in the box below:
A STRUGGLE TO THE DEATH! THE PENGUIN AND THE RABBIT!
Pic 1: The staring battle of "Penguin Face" versus
"Rabbit Face" starts!
Pic 2: Making maximal use of her "Blurred Eyes"
and "Nonsensically kept opened beak", Ami attacks powerfully. [As though
compared with Ami getting new weapon.] Usagi is the Rabbit as usual, so she
would be at a disadvantage. But then, the Rabbit has her own weapon!
Pic 3: Tickle, tickle, tickle
"This isn't fair!!"
Pic 4: And so Usagi accomplishes her revenge from Act 40... we guess?
Next box has several pics from Act 41. I skipped the first paragraph
which didn't seem important:
From Act 41: As the night passes in Koyama amusement park
The fire around Usagi's face seems to be a fire's reflection but we used
real fire. So as the cast wouldn't get burned it was located far away... but
that meant that it was the camera crew who were at burning distance.
The Koyama Amusement park fireworks display is a bit different from city
amusement parks. As is P-Moon's custom, she's got a lot of explosions around
her... and didn't it seem to scale up?! Watching Act
36, a certain scriptwriter and Supervisor K might have misunderstood
something... So we kept up the explosions in Act 42 too. But then seeing the
Takemitsu unit's enthusiasm, Supervisor S may misunderstand something (and
will shoot even more explosion scenes?)... There seems no limit to the
trouble of explosions Miyuu-san has to go through. [Kenji writes:
Supervisor K may mean Satou Takemitsu. Because
"Takemitsu" can be read as "Kenkou" which is easier to pronounce. I guess
that line means: Takemitsu thought Act 41 should have as good explosion
scenes as Act 36 by Suzumura which was specifically prepared for explosion
shooting.]
Next, a tired supervisor shot:
The Takemitsu unit has been continuing work for four weeks straight on "Kamen
Rider Blade" episodes 24/25 (as you might expect of Toei) and July truly seems
to be the Takemitsu month! The supervisor has to film "Sailor Moon" while
putting the finishing touches on "Ken." With the filming of "Sailor Moon"
going into the night and then continuing straight onto editing "Ken" there's
truly no end to it. While he's walking on a tightrope he has some headroom
in his "Blade" schedule- completely opposite to the situation with Sailor
Moon. As he's filming Act 42 he is stuck finishing up Act 41.
The supervisor knows not what sleep is. You've done a great job- thank you
very much!
Last:
On the 19th of this month it was Beryl's actress Sugimoto-san's birthday,
and on the 23rd it was Minako's actress Komatsu-san's birthday. Yay yay! On
the sets we had some celebrations.
Up till now we've put up "report photos" but this
time we won't do so.
"It's 39 degrees centigrade!" "Now it's 40 degrees centigrade!" Under such a
blazing sun, the cast and staff are shooting hard. So please just let us
keep that memories belonging only to us who are at the shooting site, as a
solace.
