Trivia:
- Cherry pie is Makoto’s favourite food.
- I’M GOING DOWN will be the only other Sailor Moon anime villain image song, after Galaxia’s Golden Queen Galaxia. Edit: I stand corrected; Beryl had the image song Ai no ENERGY wo Ubae on the album Ai ha Doko ni Aru no. (Thanks lyrhia!)
- Usagi’s new image song is written by “Sumire Shirobara” - actually a pen name for Naoko Takeuchi herself, who also wrote Crystal’s ending theme Gekkou under the same name.
