The Otakon convention in Baltimore later this month will be holding a Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon panel! The panel information is as follows:

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Fan Panel
Date- Sunday July 22, 2007
Time- 9:00am - 10:00am

For more, see this forums thread or the panel's homepage. The panel will be run by Lilly-chan of BSSMLA. Please attend and support the series!

WoL photographer Yosenex will also be there to discuss aspects of Japan in the series. It should be very interesting and fun.

I wish I had more to update with in the last month or two but there's sadly been almost no news to discuss in the Sailor Moon world. If something did happen, we'd have news and translations up right away but...

Anyway they did update at Sailor Moon Channel not too long ago; if you're wondering what it says on the top page it says the following:

I have a couple of comments to get through before moving onto today's long editorial.

First off, just regarding Sailor Moon news in general, apart from the minor updates to Sailor Moon Channel, there's been nothing (that comes to mind) to discuss. If there was any breaking series-related news to be had, we'd certainly have it up here as we did with the Lohan rumor. There's going to be a doujinshi event here in Tokyo again on Sunday, so at the very least, I'll have more pictures and stories from that next week.

Wanted to bring up one or two things. First off, did you know Sawai Miyuu's been in some public service posters for the Tokyo government? I've been seeing these around the city since February but never had a camera to take a photo of it for the site, and accidentally stumbled onto the campaign's website a few days ago where I found they had a scan of it.

The campaign site itself is here. They basically want people to stop calling ambulances for minor emergencies and take taxis to hospitals instead, which they've renamed "support cabs."

Happy Chibi Chibi month. A couple of small newsbytes.

First, be sure to check out Warriors of Legend's Editor Jonathan May's interview on G4, discussing "Fat Men in Sailor Moon Costumes."

Second, Beryl is Attacking the United States. (Thanks Riley)

Third, a new book on American anime fans (written by an American and translated into Japanese) will be hitting Japan next month. Inside there's a section which discusses how, "Sailor Moon was bashed as pornography, but revived like a phoenix by fan power!" I'll pick up the book next month and let you know what's mentioned there. (Thanks Brant)

Fourth, we will be fixing some spelling mistakes and minor errata in the second edition of Warriors of Legend: Reflections of Japan. We expect to make the update next week, and the new version will be Third Edition. Once this happens, you will be unable to order the book for a week as the changes are made. If you spotted any typos in RoJ Second Edition, please let us know ASAP, as maybe you caught something we didn't. No significant changes are being made to the book, and we will list the typos corrected on the website.

Last, a reminder: be sure to check out the tour diary!

UPDATE: ANN has noted the Lohan interview.

It seems that the Lohan rumor continues. Both we and AnimeNewsNetwork pointed out that there was nothing in Animage. Keep in mind, though, that that is ALL we have stated, that it was not in Animage. FYI, from this interview:

The people behind the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the Japanese manga series "Sailor Moon" have sent her some materials to look at, she said, and fans have begun lobbying hard for Lohan to play the titular character, a rail-thin blonde known for her strong powers and sexy costumes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Apr. 20, 2006 - (Royal Palm Beach, FL) Genvid L.L.C. is proud to announce that its "Sailor Moon" based reality tour, the "Warriors of Legend Tour of Tokyo" has sold out. The tour is based on sites described in Genvid L.L.C.'s book "Warriors of Legend: Reflections of Japan in Sailor Moon."

The Warriors of Legend Tour of Tokyo is a for-fans, by-fans tour which promises devotees of the blockbuster series an inside look at the life of the characters in a way seldom experienced by even Japanese otaku. The ten tour attendees are flying into Tokyo from cities around the globe, from San Francisco and New York to Toronto, Sydney, Okinawa, and Bagdad, for a 4 night, 3 day adventure of a lifetime.

I figured it would be good to say at least something this month.

First off, thanks to Adam Kanal and Jon Mays for notice on the following. There's an unsubstantiated rumor (note the link) that Japanese magazine Animage has announced that Fox has picked up the rights for a live action Sailor Moon flick starring Lindsay Lohan. I'll pick up a copy of Animage this weekend and see if they actually say anything, but I'm currently rolling my eyes at this.

Before we begin, let me mention that we've filled 9 of the Warriors of Legend Tour's 10 slots, and will be closing the tour for registration within the next few days. The level of commitment from Sailor Moon's fans blows me away and I'm honored to be guiding this group.

If everything goes well, when the tour concludes on June 30th, 2006 (Usagi's birthday), I'll be writing a letter to Takeuchi, explaining what we did on the tour and including some photographs of those in attendance. I think she will be absolutely thrilled by it.
