2004 Winter Special Musical
Beautiful Girl Soldier Sailor Moon
Advent of Princess Kakyu

- Manila Karasu < Manira Karasu>:  Sailor Lead Crow has this name.  It is not known why Manila ( Manira) is in Manira Karasu karasu means crow in Japanese.

- Chu Rat < Ch Ratto>: Sailor Iron Mouse has this name.  Ch comes from ch ch naku, which can describe a mouse squeek.  Mice and rats are in the Muridae family.

- Half Bird < Hfu Bdo>: Sailor Aluminum Seiren has this name.  Seirens were thought to be part bird in classical mythology.  One site shows Half Bad ( Hfu Baddo) instead of the more accurate and relevant Half Bird ( Hfu Bdo).

- Miss Butterfly < Misu Batafurai>: Sailor Metal Papillon ( [sic] Sr Metaru Papion) has this name.  The name Miss Butterfly may have some relationship with the opera Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini.

- Kalunite (Nite Luka/Naito, Ruka) < ( Naito Ruka)>: Karunaito approximates the name Kalunite, the name of a kind of a mineral.  Notice how we defined certain parts of Karunaito to approximate Kalunite: a) the Ka in Karunaito approximates the Ka part of Kalunite, b) the ru in Karunaito approximates the lu in Kalunite, and c) the naito in Karunaito approximates the nite part of Kalunite.  Therefore, it makes sense that the Naito in Naito Ruka approximates Nite (nite [from Kalunite] used as a name), and the Ruka in Naito Ruka approximates Luka (the ka and lu in Kalunite switched around).  This name could be Ruka Naito if it is supposed to be a Japanese one.  One site uses Night Luka for no good reason other than the fact that naito can approximate night.  Night does not seem to be relevant to this name.  Knight is not as relevant as the nite in Kalunite is.

- Hiddenite (Yano, Hideo) < Hidenaito ( Yano Hideo)>: Hidenaito approximates the name Hiddenite, the name of a kind of mineral.  Ya means night, no means field, hide means England or English, and o means male.  The Hide in this case has the same transliteration as the Hide part of Hidenaito.

- Hematite (Taitohi, Shinhachiro) < Hemataito ( Taithi, Shinhachir)>: Hemataito approximates the name Hematite, the name of a kind of mineral.  The readings of the kanji are uncertain.  It is also not certain where the separation between the surname and the personal name is.  Tai refers to a stand, t means east, hi refers to flatulence, shin means true, hachi means eight, and r means son.

2004 Summer Special Musical
Beautiful Girl Soldier Sailor Moon
~ New Legend of Kaguya Island ~

- Dark Mirror < Dku Mir>: Obvious.

- Selkie < Seruk>: a selkie is a mythical creature which assumes human form on land and that of a seal in water.  The Japanese use Seruk to approximate selkie.  It is important to mention that Loof Merrow and Kraken also both appear in this musical.  The merrow, the kraken, and the selkie were all mythical sea creatures.
