The first-ever official fan club for Sailor Moon, “Pretty Guardians,” is now accepting members, and the club has lifted the curtain on a pair of special benefits for both new and continuing members. Among the highlights is a delightful recreation of a classic Nakayoshi magazine freebie: the “Naoko Takeuchi’s Sailor Moon Cutie Note,” offered exclusively to those who renew their membership.
A blast from the past: the Nakayoshi furoku revival
For continuing members, the club will present a replica of the nostalgic Nakayoshi supplement—a notebook designed by creator Naoko Takeuchi that originally appeared as a free insert in the magazine. This revival piece is a fully original item made just for “Pretty Guardians.”
Bag charm and a fresh member card
All members—whether new or renewing—will receive a limited-edition “Transformation Brooch & Moon Stick Bag Charm,” also an exclusive club original. The annual membership card features a brand-new illustration of Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) and Mamoru Chiba (Tuxedo Mask), giving fans a beautiful keepsake that changes every year.
FC ticket advance for the Shining Theater show
“Pretty Guardians” is currently accepting fan-club advance applications for the second term of the stage event “美少女戦士セーラームーン -Shining Theater Shinagawa Tokyo-.” The application window closes today at 23:59 JST.
Overseas membership supported
In addition to domestic members, the fan club welcomes international fans. The official site supports English and Chinese, making it easy for overseas Sailor Moon enthusiasts to join. Members gain access to exclusive merchandise, complete sets of trading items, card-presentation benefits, and more.
Background: a global phenomenon
Naoko Takeuchi’s 美少女戦士セーラームーン (Sailor Moon) began serialization in Kodansha’s monthly magazine Nakayoshi in 1991. The original manga has been translated into 17 languages, and the anime series has aired in more than 40 countries, sparking a worldwide cultural phenomenon. A new project launched in 2012, and the 30th anniversary initiative has encompassed complete editions, bunko editions, e-books, new animation, musicals, merchandise, the fan club, and an official store. In 2024, the long-awaited art collection 美少女戦士セーラームーン レゾネ ART WORKS 1991～2023 was released, and 2025 will see the performance show “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live travel to London, tour North America, and return to Japan for a triumphant homecoming.
