I was disappointed with that.  I was hoping it was 3000 yen so I could get 
another stamp on my Animate card.  (;_;)

A good start.  But...

Was this any different than last years?  The dialogue seems different, 
but everything else seems exactly the same.

Ditto.

See #3.

You know the routine...

Finally, a new song!  Shinohara Emi seems to get all the non-Japanese, 
non-English Christmas songs.  I would have rather heard Feliz Navidad.

Fukami Rica is the star of both Sailor Moon Christmas CD's.

Ugh.

One more repeat for old times sake.

An original song, but not very interesting.

Now _this_ was painful!  She obviously can't do anything with English 
other than read the katakana equivalent.  Why don't they give these 
songs to Fukami Rica?  Is this a case Tomizawa Michie pulling rank?

How can you have a Sailor Stars Christmas CD without a song with the 
Three Lights?  And why does Hisakawa Aya get the shaft again?

This CD is a ripoff, and a slap in the face to all Sailor Moon and seiyuu 
fans.
