What can I say this song just has the cute factor written all over it! Its a good sounding song. Very upbeat and happy. A great song for the younger crowd.Placement
It was not in the show but it was in the Super live stage show. It was very cute to see dance to. I swear the one girl in orange behind Luna look like a midget. lolMemorable
Kinda. Its the only song for Luna. So it becomes her song wither anyone likes it or not.Lyrics
If the stars shine through the darkness and answer my prayerMy single wish, to unlock my spirit
To me for some odd reason the words just seem like the character Luna. Now if the song fits live Luna thats another topic. But it does say Luna to me.

I would give this a 3. It a very cute song and now and then i like to sign with it. but i don't love it enough to keep it on repeat

It's very happy and optimistic! The melody is sweet, too. When I listened it for first time, I immediatelly started dancing and jumping!! This song has an unique melody - it sounds jolly like most of the PGSM songs (C'est la Vie, Romance, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) - but at the same time it is SO different from them.
Placement
Is the song played in any act?????Memorable
It's almost impossible to forget this song! The sweet voice of Luna, the nice mellody - doesn't this make you remember the wonderful fighting tricks of Luna and the part when she's smiling and waving at Kunzite in act 27? Yes, I am sure it does!!Lyrics
I think they are very good. The lyrics of Sweet Little Resistance reveal the girls inside. I think that Luna's words are wise, and they are useful for every boy...Overall Rating
Sweet Little Resistance is the first and only song by Sailor Luna. It perfectly fits her. I'd like to say that I think that this song is a good one. It's a happy song, well, not as good as Romance, but it's good. If you are sad, maximize the volume of the sound, and you'll feel better listening the cute voice of Luna. ^^

It's such a cute song!!! Really a character single for Luna. I like the song very much. The perfect song for Koike Rina! Too bad she has only this song. It may be sound a bit odd, but I think Rina sings a lot better than some other songs (Over Rainbow tour etc.).Placement
WHY!? Why doesn't appear in the series? Instead of her candy-henshin and her Sucre Candy? (I think its ridiculous that she transforms with candy! And wait, why are her attacks so useless? Almost like the pink sugar heart attack from Chibi Moon.)Memorable
Memorable, let me think. It's Koike Rina's first and only song. And Luna's character single. I think that her fans remember it. I think that the other fans don't. It never appears in the series and it's only on the albums and it's sung by her one time at the Kiari Super Live Event. (Ps, the kids really seem to love Luna, they went wild when Luna came on stage!)Lyrics:
Sure, it's hard to believeIt's the reverse, shalala...
Magic! If you take courage
The whole world will be on your side
Sure, it's hard to believe
It's the reverse, shalala...
Magic!
A tomorrow different from the rest is no doubt

Yes, it's again such a typical song that goes about having this, and that, taking everything. But I do like it!
Overall rating:
It was a hard choice between 4 and 5. But I give it 4 hearts. I like the lyrics, I like the melody, I like everything! But I think that something is missing. May be because it's sung by a child. Or because they made Luna ridiculous in Pgsm.

Very upbeat and LONG! Def. not one of my favorite songs as I think it just drags on and on with the "sha la la la..."Blah...Placement
To buy products! That's about it. Kiddies heard this song in the Super Live event and it brainwashed them! HAHAHAHA...other then that there's no real placement in PGSM for this song.Memorable
Like I said, it was used to brainwash little kiddies and trick their parents to buy them Luna stuff. It's also memorable for the fact that it's Luna's song and kids loved Human Luna so they probably loved the song just as much as I despise it.Lyrics
The whole song was a total blur to me. I never could listen to it all the way and I never will. The only thing I remember from the song are the "sha la la la..." bit and it's annoying.Overall Rating
1 star. Kids like it, I don't. The song has no place in PGSM other then to give Luna a character song. BORING! *Hits the snooze button.*

Viva, La Resistance! It's kinda good to listen to the song at first. I was suprised that Koike Rina (Sailor Luna) has talent at a young age. She would be a famous IDOL someday. For the song, it's kiddie-oriented: CHILDISH. Not a good song for an old timer like me.Placement
Only shown to Kirari Super Live event where Rina-chan is accompanied by chibi-sailor senshis (awww... ain't that cute... BUT IT'S WRONG!!!). Ruth has a big point for it. IT'S A MEDIUM FOR BRAINWASHING LITTLE CHILDREN (then again, i'm brainwashed by Komatsu Ayaka's songs. Hehe). This song also serves as a background song as I corrupt little, annoying children luring them to the dark side. KOWAII DESU!!! (ain't I'm soo evil?)Memorable
Reminds of my childhood days of being so carefree and dumb. But hey, this serves as a rare collection for future Koike Rina fans out there as her career starts to soar high. But then again, we have to see that...Lyrics
NOTHING AT ALL. How can I relate this song to myself? I'm not a kid anymore. Oh well, what's the fuss.Overall Rating
I apologize for being sarcastic to all Koike Rina fans out there reading my review. This is just NOT MY SONG. Though I admire her on her talent. I've listened it a couple of times and that's final. This song reminds me of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" song. I'll give this song a 3/5 for a PROMISING TALENT.
Elly - Princess Serenity

My God this song is sugar coated! It's very upbeat and happy, but so damned cute that it makes me want to stab my eyes out. This has an almost 'Over-Rainbow-Tour' level of cute and hyper that I don't want to touch.Placement
Not placed in any PGSM episode, but it was featured in the Super Live show, and it was released on the album, 'Dear My Friend'.Memorable
If you're a Luna fan, I suppose so. While I don't think it's incredibly memorable to other fans other than being something bad, I remember this song for my own reasons. Last summer when this song was released via Bit Torrent, I was at an anime convention with some friends. I was actually cosplaying as Sailor Venus (with a very bad costume, time restraints can be a pain in the ass) and was a panelist at a "10 Years of Sailor Moon in the United States" event. I whipped out this song and blared it over the loud speakers. People went CRAZY. "Is this really that new?", "Is it really from PGSM? OMG HOW CUTE!!!" People were dancing in the middle of the convention hall. A very memorable experience for me, indeed.Lyrics
I have *no idea* how the title of this song was chosen. It's just bad. Maybe they could have called it something like "Anata shidai" (only you know), since that's the main line in the chorus. Bleh."I don't like you anymore"
She said to you?
She feels just the opposite
ARG! Why the hell is LUNA saying this? This should be more of a song for like, I dunno...Tuxedo Mask maybe? After the Special Act? This song reminds me a lot of the scene where Usagi SLAMS down her engagement ring on the table and says "Kekkon yameru!" - "I don't want to marry you!" Bah. The lyrics to this song irritate the hell out of me.
Overall Rating
I don't care how much of a good memory I have from this song. This song is just HORRIBLE. The lyrics have no relavence for Luna whatsoever. It should have been placed on the Special Act DVD's soundtrack or something. This has no real relavence to the show at all. Why this song was placed where it was is beyond me. Someone at Toei needs a good firing...

Tuxedo Mask - Kero-chan
Tone/Mood
I remember I downloaded via Bit torrent the "Dear My Friend" album. First song to hear was: The Instrumental Kirari Remix, and Sweet Little Resistance. By reviews in various websites, (where they were saying that Sweet Little Resistance was crappy and far from good) I was already making an idea of the song: that it would be extremely bad. But then SURPRISE, I was astonished when I heard that little sweet and tender voice singing!!! Was it really Sailor Luna, Koike Rina??? I remember I was on vacation and it was late night, I remember listening to the song from 3 to 5 times!!! XD Then, in the morning I remember putting it over and over again. This song is really catchy (from the chorus) and really happy, has an upbeat and if you listen to it carefully, (oh yeah, and watched the Kirari*Super Live Event) you will just want to get up and dance like in the super live event!!! XDDDPlacement
Not in the live-action show. It was presented first in the Kirari*Super Live Event. I would have been great to hear this song in the show as one of Luna's clumsy moments ^__^Memorable
Being the only song of Luna, it has to be. Maybe, Luna's fans and really, really good PGSM fans will remember it for what it is. It may go through PGSM history as the adorable number of Luna with the chibi-senshis! XDLyrics
Of all the PGSM songs, I think this one has the most coherent lyrics! Well, Japanese song writers try to use English in the none-coherent way, but what the heck is really cool when you just get used to it. I think this song really fits Luna (as for anime, manga or live action Luna), this is why I think that way: Every time I listen to this song, I can just picture another Kirari*Super Live Event Musical, where you can see in the stage Usagi and Human Luna they are talking about Usagi love toward Mamoru (let's think this is placed when Mamoru was dating Hina, and Usagi was realizing her feelings for him); Usagi is being stubborn about this (she can't accept it), then, Mamoru appears in the stage, just walking by. Luna calls Mamoru and he grabs him and Usagi, and in that moment, she tells Usagi: "Now you're going to se " BANG! She starts singing Sweet Little Resistance. ^^; That's the way I picture that song in my mind XD. Although the title may be a little bit confusing, I think it is related to the song, in the way that, either guys or girls, always in romance, they put up a little resistance to make the game more interesting and because of it's Luna, in a Shojo-theme related song I think there's the reason of the "Sweet" at the beginning of the title. ^x^; I love this part it's my favorite!!!

I like the music; it's cheery and makes you happy. For me, it is perfect for this brand new Luna, as well for the others. The lyrics are good and understandable. This song will make you like Luna!

Okay, this song was initially way too hyper for my liking. Fair enough, it's a happy and upbeat song, but the first time I played it I barely got halfway through before I turned it off because of the sky rocketing 'cute' factor.Placement
Not used in any of the Acts and I don't think it would've fit anywhere to be honest.Memorable
I guess its only memorable as 'Luna's song'. I don't really associate it with anything or anyone else. It does fit the hyper-ness of the character though. I saw the performance of this from Kirari*Live and the memory does make me smile; the dear little actress seemed to be having the time of her life. ^^Lyrics
I cant see how the lyrics relate to the character. It just seems to be one of those songs that was written just to be sung as a song just so she would have something to sing! The lyrics just seem so random for the character and for PGSM, but perhaps would make sense if put it another context. They appear to be better than many of the other songs though, lyrical-sense wise.Overall Rating

This song is a very sweet song and has a catchy tune I've known to get stuck in my head on several occasions. The first time I heard it was the day I bought my Dear My Friend CD and I wasn't too sure about most of the music on here at first. This isn't one of my favorite songs, mostly because the high notes are a little too high for dear Rina, but they do do a nice job of blending it so it doesn't sound shrill, and for that I'm thankful.Placement
I don't remember it being placed in any acts, but I know it showed up on the Dear My Friend album.Memorable
As I mentioned, this song has the tendency to get stuck in my head. Actually, until I reviewed this song, it didn't hit me that Luna sung this song, to be honest. Her voice doesn't really sound as young as it is until it starts getting to the higher notes, and I just never paid much attention to it before.Lyrics
The lyrics do fit the series well, especially toward the end and even carries on into the wedding special. They have to be my favorite part about the song, even if the music, I feel, could use some work.Overall Rating
I think I will give this song a 3, for a cute catchy tune, blending shrill notes, and nice upbeat lyrics. It's a little in the middle here for me. I don't love it, but it's not the worst song, either.
Ciao - Sailor Pluto
Tone/Mood
This song is rather cute, and if it weren't for the fact that her voice is over- shadowed by the music, it would be a really good song. It seems rather incongruous for a child to be talking to a grown man about relationships tho. *grins* It does oddly work tho, with the song just fitting her voice so well.Placement
Character song not in the show.Memorable
I think that once I got used to it, I could easily like and remember this song as it's rather cute, her voice fits (when you can hear it) and the message is true enough, even when coming from a child. *smiles* The chorus is infectious and makes you want to sing along when you know the words to it.Lyrics
I feel that the lyrics and the music work very well for this song, even given the message. The music helps to keep it cute even tho at times she sounds like a cross between Alvin and the Chipmunks and someone on helium. The message is clear and the music keeps it from being too preachy.Overall Rating
I would give this particular song a 3 rating, given that it was a good song, just couldn't really hear her voice under all that backing music. The song suited her to a T and it showed that she can actually sing and isn't just a cute little kid.

This song is a happy go lucky sounding song... its an ok song but just not repeated endlessly... I just don't enjoy this song as much as other songs.Placement
This song was never used in any acts... well unless you count "Kirari Super Live" as an act by itself. However, this song is a nice song for Rina Koike's vocal range.Memorable
This song isn't nearly as memorable to me as other PGSM songs... as such I usually forget about this song when I make mix albums...Lyrics
The lyrics are ok... I am reminded of Pretty Sammy (Tenchimuyou! spinoff) for some reason, strange... They work for Luna...Overall Rating
This song is an ok song for Luna... but not for me... its just not the type of song I listen to on a regular basis...
Sat - Sailor Saturn
Tone
This song I feel is a bit overpowering for little Rina's voice. The background music is just a bit too rockish for something that is this cute.Placement
This was used in the Super Live and frankly had me squealing as I am one of those Sailor Luna lovers. It had good placement as a breaker of the blandness of some points of the special.Memorable
If you can't remember all the cute little girls that were dancing in Sailor costumes with her, then please don't have kids. I mean really, this is stuck in my head as probably one of the cutest things in PGSM history, next to her whacking Kunzite with the fan.Lyrics
Quirky as usual and nothing that really sticks in the head that is going to have me singing it.Overall
3 Hearts This is a mediocre song. It could have been better implimented if it had a poppy beat to it rather then this rockish sound.

This song is fun. It makes me want to get up and dance. If I was around 7 or 8 this would likely be my favorite song. The overall feeling of this song matches Nekono Luna perfectly. It makes me think of candy and luna on top of a cake (like the henshin).Placement
Part of Dear My Friend and the Kirari*Super Live show, but never used in the TV series. Which is too bad, cause Luna could have had some fun doing Karaoke. Its use in Super Live is what made me really love this song. The kids dancing behind Luna were so cute I wanted to give them all a big hug. I like this song a lot.Memorable
I suppose the song is memorable, but only if you've seen Super Live, otherwise you don't really have an image of the songs use in your mind.Lyrics
Despite some thinking it's too long, I love the chorus. Masani MASAKASAKASAMA Shalala......

I give it a rating of 4 out of 5. It doesn't get the full rating because the lyrics lack depth and Rina, being young, also lacks a vocal intensity I'd want to hear in a 5. The song is very enjoyable though.

The first time I heard of this song through the Dear My Friend CD, I thought it is cool and upbeat with all the drums in the opening. It has a nice beat, and I am pretty sure I was head-banging at that time. However, since I was more interested into hearing the rest of the senshi's vocals, I didn't pay too much attention with it. Furthermore, I think I don't have any negative feelings with the song. In fact, I was laughing at Rina's voice (not in a negative way) and kept goshing "Aw cute!"Placement
I believe this song was never played in any of the 49 episodes, but Rina performed it during the Kirari Super Live Event while young semi-senshi children danced along with the tune.Memorable
For me, this song is memorable since it is the only Sailor Luna/Human Luna song, and the only song sang by a child in the PGSM-LA series.Lyrics
I think the lyrics fit well to the series, as well as to Luna. Overall, the lyrics speak about Luna's perception or point of view as she observes the senshi's goings and whereabouts. The lyrics are like an advice to the girls, although it is a little awkward coming from the human Luna... so let's just picture the plushie Luna giving the opinions instead ^_^.I don't know why, but I liked these lyrics:
"Masani MASAKA
SAKASAMA Shalala......
Magic! sakadachi shitara
Chikyuu wo mochiageteru mitai
Masani MASAKA
SAKASAMA Shalala......"
Set aside the real meaning of it, I guess I liked it because it's like a tongue-twister ^_^.

Laurana - Princess Sailor Moon
Tone/Mood
This song is very upbeat and cute. I like this song; it is nice, but just too much high squeakiness for me to love. I must admit that Koike Rina has a wonderful voice for her age, yet I just do not like it when she sings high notes. She cannot reach her highest notes and I honestly think her trying is making the song worse. The beat is lovely, and it seriously makes me want to dance. I for one think that the voice and the beat clash a little here and there. This song really makes me feel happy, and a little to old to be listening to it, depressingly.Placement
While this song was not in the show, and I am glad for that, it was in the Kirari Super Live stage performance.Memorable
Obviously since Luna's human persona sings this song it does remind me of her. I must admit that when I see the cat Luna I will not think of this song. Not to mention I rarely listen to this song because I just do not like Rina's higher pitches, and I would like to save my ears for those that can hit higher pitches without hurting me.Lyrics
The lyrics, even if they technically do not make any sense, they do go with the song. They are so random and dripping with cuteness. I do not see how the lyrics fit together, but hey the fact that Luna is a little girl does not make any sense. I for one think the lyrics were put together in a rush, and thus they are completely random! So in one way, or another, the lyrics do fit the human Luna.Overall Rating
2 out of 5 I give this song a two just because of the fact that the lyrics are just random blurbs. Also I feel that Rina's higher pitches ruin the sound of the song, and that she should definitely not sing in a soprano voice at this point in time. This is a nice song if you like to cause serious damage to your ear drums, but I just do not think it is worth the damage.
Kuroki Mio - Kara
TONE/MOOD:
Perky. But not as perky as it COULD be. I have heard worse, and I'm glad they didn't go completely overboard with how happy this could be. Considering they had a small child singing this, any more sugariness could have proven lethal. As it is, it's ... bearable.PLACEMENT:
The 'Dear My Friend' CD.MEMORABLE:
Well, not in the way that I generally LIKE songs to be memorable. I do remember how it goes, but that's mainly because it gets stuck in my head.LYRICS:
I like truthful observation in lyrics. This has that. I can tell it was also meant to be an inspiring song, though, and it just isn't. It doesn't have guts to it; it sounds like a little girl insisting you cheer up or else (which I'm sure was intentional). The lyrics say 'blind optimism' far more than anything else - and while bits of it remind me of Luna's song from the first SeraMyu, it doesn't have that same air of absolute wisdom to it.OVERALL:
2 out of 5 hearts. Little Luna has a decent voice (especially for someone her age), but it didn't really do anything for me.

When I first heard about this song, I said, Woah, Sailor Luna has a song? Dear god. I was afraid that it would be disgustingly sweet, in the vein of Chibi-Usa’s image song from S (which I loathe with the burning hot intensity of a thousand suns). When I did listen to it, though, I was pleasantly surprised. It is cute, yes, but not overly so. Fairly catchy, too. Koike Rina’s voice sounds very mature for her age.Placement:
On the Dear My Friend album. I don’t think it’s used in any acts.Memorable:
