Text reads: As you notice from the pictures, I became a fan from the anime. (Oh, I do have the comics though I can't say all (^^;)
When I saw it on TV for the first time, I thought "What an embarrassing anime", but like many other people, this became my habit... I've been purchasing the LDs as soon as it comes out. Since I myself am a comedy manga artist at bottom, I love episodes where Minako of Fukami Rika-sama among the "SM" characters does slapsticks, such as EPS78, 109, and 141! (Hisakawa Aya-sama, I'm sorry(^^; I love the movie "Ami-chan's First Love" as well, so... But Mercury is awfully "hard to draw"!)
The time when I began to watch this anime and the time when I began to use BBS just overlap, and thanks to that, I went to voice actress related entertainments and stuff with my children, and I've been enjoying otaku-feelings at my age. Speaking of which, my oldest daughter (a medical student) is a fan of Uranus and I bothered Kamiya Akira-san [the voice for Professor Tomoe], who I became aquainted with at Mac Expo, to give me Ogata-san's autograph...
This work which has been entertaining us by means of the original manga and the anime for five years, is finally meeting its end. Takeuchi-san and all the anime staff, thank you very much.
See? I can't make it look like her.

Text Reads: You've done a fine job on the completion of the serialization!!
When Takeuchi-san and I took a trip to New York in fall '95, we visited my sister's house (who was living over there due to my brother-in-law's business). For the two nieces of mine who loved Sailor Moon, Takeuchi-san took a whole bunch of merchandises as souvenir for them in a large bag of Kodansha (Even though it was very heavy!) Thank you for that time. I really think it was super fortunate for my nieces that I am Takeuchi-san's friend. (Still their rooms are all full of Sailor Moon!) It's sad that it's ending, but it's such a big hit that it sure will revive again some day, right?
By the way... I've been getting a lot of culture shocks, since I got to know Takeuchi-san well. Managing that much work load, she's still got that power to play so hard! Her room is so decorative that I can't help but fear what to do if an earthquake happens! And she spends money with such a kingly zest that I feel so good!! It's really fun watching you (laugh). Be my good friend from now on as well (laugh).

Model: Chibiusa
Art and Text by: Wataru Yoshizumi
Text reads: I said that I'd draw Usagi-chan in the profile of the memorial book, but there wasn't a space, so I tried drawing Chibiusa on another paper. But... I made a mistake! The hair color! Ah, I wanted to draw it pink! But since I've taken the trouble to draw it, I'll give it to you anyway.

Model: Wapiko (of "Kingyo Chuuihou" by Neko Nekobe)

Text reads: Sexy Wapiko
Wah!
Neko-san
Sorry!
I love you!

Comments from Naoko: As for this picture, for a project of a certain NAKAYOSHI's illustrations, a project that manga-artists drew someone else's works each other (and praised each other?), I, who loved KinChu, drew thiiis awkward Wapiko. I'd never even dreamed I myself would do anime after KinChu. Back then, it was really good old days for NAKAYOSHI... And in '92, NAKAYOSHI plunged into a warlike period.
Picture: in the living room of Naoko Takeuchi's house.
