Hi hi,

'CuSO4' Yung thus spoke:

No way!!! O_O I watched Paranoia Agent 1 and 2 a few weeks ago,
and I have episodes 3+ too, but I hadn't watched them yet...
I wanted to finish with other series before... there is so much
anime to watch and so little time... ^_^;;; I had absolutely
no idea who Harumi/Maria was voiced by... ^_^;;;

(twenty-five minutes later) Alright, done, I watched episode 3!
All I have to say is WOW!!! ^_^ Kotono-sama is incredible...
No wonder Kobayashi Yumiko proclaimed, in Puni Puni Poemi, that
Mitsuishi Kotono should be every seiyuu's object of akogare,
seeing as she is the best in the world... ^_^

Oh, I'm not following Gundam Seed / Cosmos... maybe I should...
Does she play main characters in those, or just episodic roles?
(I really gotta keep myself better informed... ^_^;;; )

It's a bit of obscure trivia that was unearthed by dedicated
Sailor Moon fans. ^_^ "Sayonara wa dance no ato ni" was popular
in the 60s/70s, a catchy song performed by Baishou Chieko...
I have a mp3 of it somewhere, and it's quite good, I like it...
"Moonlight Legend" is sung to a melody swiped from that song...
If you listen to both of them it's very obvious, MD is a little
faster and perkier (the original is slow and pretty melancholy)
but there's no doubt it's the same song. ^_^

Ja ja,
