Sailor Moon And The Scouts: Lunarock (Anime Series)

Various Artists

The main complaint with the first Sailor Moon CD was that it lacked any Japanese music. The eight songs on Lunarock include two from Japan: "Moonlight Densetsu," the original Japanese opening theme song, and "Ai No Senshi" from Sailor Moon R. There is also a new scoring of the Beatles classic "I Want to Hold Your Hand," as Sailor Moon's pledge to Tuxedo Mask. Of the five original American tunes, Sailor Moon (Jennifer Cihi) has another single, her peppy battle theme "The Power of Love" (one of the program's best). Two other singles are Sailor Jupiter's "Daddy's Girl" (a gentle lament about growing up) and Sailor Mars's comforting "Nothing at All." The final two are the three Sailor Scouts' yeah-yeah trio about boys, "I Want Someone to Love," and Sailor Moon and Mars's musical spat, "Who Do You Think You Are?" This second effort is at least as good as the first Sailor Moon CD, maybe even better. --Fred Patten
