“Sayonara ha Dance no Ato ni”
This classic 1960s’ Japanese song inspired the tune for Moonlight Densetsu. The title translates to “Goodbye at the End of the Dance”. Performed by Baishou Chieko.
“Azusa Nigou”
This song was used as Yuuichiro’s (Chad’s) plaintive image song in Sailor Moon S Episode 99. Azusa Nigou was performed by a 1970’s J-idol duo called “Kariudo”. Originally released on as an EP record single, an updated version was released years later as a CD single. The MP3 sounds a little different from the version in the episode (notably the chorus). The updated version of the song may be the one used in Sailor Moon.

Yuko Minaguchi
Hotaru/Saturn never received an image song despite her pivotal role in the series. Here are two songs by her voice actress that provide a glimpse of what might have been.
HISAKAWA Aya
Ami/Mercury’s voice actress released a cover version of Moonlight Densetsu on her 1997 album Marching Aya. The album’s theme was that of a school sports day, and each song was based on a certain part of the day.
