Sailor Neptune - Ruth
Tone/Mood
*Yawns* Yeah...that's how I feel about this song. It's a slow ballad and I just don't care for it. This has to be the WORST song I've heard for any version of Sailor Moon! *Ducks from flying objects* Maybe it's the way Ayaka sang it or maybe it's just the song itself, but I just can't listen to it without turning it off within the first minute.Placement
Erm....I really don't see this song used other then when Usagi and Mamoru go after the 'thieves' and recover Minako's jewels. It was in the Music Video. When I heard/saw it I knew it wasn't a keeper.Memorable
Not for me. Again it's too slow and boring for my tastes so I don't even know one line of the lyrics.Lyrics
Um...*goes to check Elly's lyrics page* Ok back. So this song has pretty lyrics so it must be the way Ayaka sang it. Anywho...by reading the lyrics the song makes plenty of sense and is quite romantic. That's the only plus to this song tho.Overall Rating
1 Heart. Don't like the song. The only reason I gave it one heart is because of the lyrics. They were the only nice thing about this song.
Topaz - Sailor Mercury
Tone/Mood
This is a slow song then picks up. The tone to me says I felt like I need to be alone to do my job but now I learn I have something and friends to fight for!Placement
I cannot recall this in the show. But I can remember lots of jokes "Venus over the shoulder" and seeing lots of photo when you would see Venus over someone's shoulder.Memorable
not really if you ask me. this is one of the songs i least like. its OK but i don't just sing this song out of the blueLyrics
The words just make no sence. it is just not Minako to me. But there is this.Awkwardly, these fleeting
Emotions will also
Be reborn in the future
This is very sailor moon to me.
Overall Rating
I would only give this a one. What can I say? I just don't like this songs. Bah!
Ilse - Dark Sailor Mercury
Tone/Mood
The start of the song is very relaxed. Then it's getting more exiting. More to dance. When Akaya sang it with Keiko and Azama, it sounded very good. I loved it. But, it's same as Romance. Akaya's voice sounds odd. Not her real voice. With this song her voice sounds a bit better, but still not good.Placement
It never appears in the series.Memorable
I heard it for the first time on a Minako fan site. First I didn't like the song, but after that, I learned to love it. I think it's a really a song to remember. If you read the lyrics (translated).Lyrics:
I can't remember I ever heard a song with beautiful lyrics.Along the morning footpath, we always
Held hands together
I won't forget that, so
Someday hold me close to you
Because I'll love you forever and ever
I won't show you my tears
Perhaps I can find a new love
Looking at Venus
It really has a message inside. I think it says that you have to go on with your life with a smile, if your love is over because you will find another one.
Overall rating:
I give it a rating of 4 hearts. I love it. Especially the lyrics (the person who wrote them is brilliant!) The melody is okay, it's relaxed and exiting. But, it's the same as Romance. Why sounds her voice so bad??? I like the guitar in the beginning!
Jessica - Sailor V
Tone Mood
To me, however much the beat speeds up, the song is depressing, therefore I don't listen to it a lot. Maybe its just Komatsu Ayaka's voice in this one; she sounds as if she's going to fade out or cry at any moment, and the quieter she gets the younger she sounds.Placement
I've never heard it in the show, but maybe that was because I ignored it. I don't think it would really fit anywhere, even for a Venus character moment or something.Memorable
I don't think its memorable as a Minako character song or for anything in the show. Maybe its just because I'm not a fan on the song, might be just meLyrics
Awkwardly, these fleetingEmotions will also

I think this fits the idea of death and rebirth, but would only fit if Minako remembered a past love or something and were pining. These lines alone would fit Usagi and Mamoru, but not in the context of the song.
Rating
1/5 - Okay, it's a 'nice' song, but I just don't like it.
Elly - Princess Serenity
Tone Mood
What a depressing sounding song. It's so slow, and so sad sounding. I think that more than any other song in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, this shows Venus's real character. It's very determined, but sad as well.Memorable
Unfourtunately, this song has not been well-received by most of the PGSM community. As such, very few people actually appreciate the beauty and simplicity of this song. Since it's not so popular, few people really know about this song. To me, it's rather memorable, but then again I think pretty much all of the PGSM songs are memorable.Lyrics
Himitsu no koiDare ni mo iezu
Sotto sora ni
Kieteku ka na
These lyrics are short and sweet, and right to the point. They're very romantic and poetic, which I think adds to the song rather than detracting from it. The lyrics are very sweet and well written.
Overall rating:
5/5: If you really pay attention to this song, you'll note it's subtle beauty. It seems like I'm the only person out there who appreciates this song, but maybe not. This is a truly a song that should be remembered.

Tone/Mood
Whoa, ballad!A very relaxing song for a very tormented (sometimes psychotic) person like me. The song is like a warm cpu of coffee on a cold, depressing day: warm, relaxing and calms my tired, busted nerves. It's also a good exercise for my head. Every two beats, sway your head to the right, then left. The song starts on a very good guitar tune with her relaxing tone. After the first lyrics have sang, a bit upbeat and... ARRGH!!!... I really can't explain. i'ts just soo good...Placement
This song was placed on Act 15 where Usagi had a flashback on the pair of earrings Minako wore. it's not much of a big impact on the series though. But it intrigued me while watcing that particular scene. If you watch carefully, (the scene where Usagi had a flashback. Minako's on TV singing this song) the background is very simple. It's not very moody but just plain simple. Is this an example of a TV program in Japan?? maybe or maybe not. Oh well...Memorable
Reminds me when me and my ex-girlfriend were together. She sang these good romantic love songs when we are together. But now, I just can't resist of being a Komatsu Ayaka fan. ^WooT!^ She's just getting better and better.Lyrics
Asa no hodou itsu made moTe wo tsunaida yo ne
Wasurenai kara ne
Itsuka wa dakishimete ne
Zutto zutto suki da kara
Namida wa misenai
Atarashii koi dekiru ka na
Kinsei mitete
I just love the lyrics on how they are sang. This chorus part is my best part: during the start of the song and in the end.
Overall Rating
I just can't understand on what the lyrics meant on "Looking at Venus". In another point of view from my friend, it's a love thingie. Elly was right, if one pays attention to this song, one can appreciate its beauty. Too good I can't really explain it's beauty. 5/5
Sat - Sailor Saturn

You know the very first time I heard this song, I didn't like it, but it grew on me. It is one of those songs that has a slow start but gets better and shows the softer side of the character.Placement
The placement of this song should have been a LOT better. I feel it was more of a song that should have been shown when Venus died more so then anything else. However, this would be a fun song to make a video to, and I might yet.Memorable
I am keeping this short and brief.... if I didn't know that Minako sang it, it wouldn't be memorable at all....Lyrics
Nothing that really struck me about this.Overall Rating
3 Hearts. It is a mediocre song that was badly placed. It wasn't used the way it should have been and frankly it should be getting 2 hearts but I am giving a sympathy one for Venus for two reasons. One I love the character as they really filled her out, and Two because she died in the series.... come on guys... they killed off my two favorite characters in 3 episodes... that was heartbreaking for me....

Tone/Mood
Well, this is a plesant little melody, very nice, it's almost like a lullaby, that's how it starts at least, it gets nice and genkii shortly into it. Soothing, but not at all exciting, it's slow place limits it's appeal somewhat.Placement
not in the showMemorable
depending on your tastes, it may or may not stick in your head for awhile, it's pretty nice so I'd say it'll stick in your head at least a day or two after you listen to it.Lyrics:
o_O;; well, this is most certainly odd, these lyrics are nearly completely coherent. Can't say whether that adds or detracts from the song though, for me it's all about flow, not coherency, so I guess their okay.Overall Rating:

This song is beatiful, absolutly beatiful! The beat makes it sound so peaceful and serene, I just love it!Placement
I am sorry too say, I have not heard this song in any PGSM epsiode, but I still think it would do great in the show.Memorable
Hm.... not much for me too say...this song isn't one I would memorize, but its still a good song.Lyrics

Very pretty lyrics that catch the beaty of the song, its a very beatifully written song.
Overall Rating
I would have to give it a 4, as the lyrics may be good, the way Minako sings it is quite a let down.
Tobias - Sailor Venus
Tone/Mood
This song is mellow... and a bit quiet when compared to the other Minako songs. It is like a relaxing song after all the "Romance" from before. It isn't to hyper so it is easy to listen to. Its good.Placement
This song fits... even if it was only used for a short time... during the ferris wheel scene and a little bit of some music video when Usagi remembers it. It seems to fit... but wouldn't make well for some of the other scenes in the show.Memorable
Honestly... its not as memorable to me as "C'est la vie" or "Romance"... When I make a playlist of PGSM songs for my MP3 player... I tend to forget about this song... it isn't the most noteworthy of songs. But I do listen to it... every so often...Lyrics
The lyrics work for this mellow song. "Himitsu no koi Dare ni mo iezu Sotto sora ni Kieteku ka na" Those are the lines I like due to their words about a secret love in uncertainty.Overall Rating
4 out of 5... Not much to say... its a good song, just not a memorable song...
Kara - Kuroki Mio
TONE/MOOD:
Mixed mood. I like this. It's a nice slow ballad when it starts out, and builds up a beat as it goes along. I wish Ayaka had snapped out of her boredom long enough to let her voice build with the music, instead of just maintaining the same level all the way throughout - however, the music supports her enough that she can get away with it.PLACEMENT:
Aino Minako's character single, briefly on a karaoke screen, and I think Makoto and Luna sing it on New Year's.MEMORABLE:
Very much so ... I understand that it isn't as exciting as 'Romance' and doesn't have its own litle dance to go with it, but I wish this had gotten more play in the series.LYRICS:
I'm a sucker for the unrequited love theme. The 'sitting by the window' line is ver evocative. I also love the blatant mentions of Venus, if only for plot reasons. This song has a lot more heart to it lyric-wise than a lot of the image songs for the series, and it really shows.OVERALL RATING:
4 out of 5 hearts. As much as I love this song, I wanted Ayaka to be a little stronger on it. But still high marks.
Sailor Uranus - G.E. Artemis
Tone/Mood:
It starts out really slow, but then picks up more near the middle, which I find interesting. The guitar is this is beautiful. Komatsu’s voice is a little weak in this song, especially in the beginning, but I can live with that.Placement:
Minako’s single, and it’s also in a couple episodes.Memorable:
For a lot of fans, compared to songs like C’est la Vie and Romance, this song is probably more easily forgotten, but as I prefer this song to both of thoseLyrics:
The lyrics are Takeuchi’s work. Naoko’s lyrics tend to vary between complete nonsense and WTF moments (such as Over the Rainbow Tour) and absolutely beautiful (this).Along the morning footpath
We held hands together
I won’t forget that, so
Someday, you’ll hold me closely
I’ll love for forever and ever
I won’t show you my tears
And someday, I will find a new love
Looking at Venus
Definitely a breakup song, but there’s definitely a hopeful side to it.
Rating:
I don’t know why so many people seem to dislike this song.
