It’s Sunday again and time for the site updates roundup. Except, again, there’s nothing to mention. I’ve been slow on the updates, gomenasai. I’ll try to get some work done on the site soon. Bye now!

*Sigh* Somehow I forgot to get the Song of the Week thing posted on time again. Must be because I was watching a movie last night (Memories, an anime movie overseen by Katsuhiro Otomo, the director of Akira) and before that I was cleaning my room.

Anyway, the song this week is Jupiter’s theme “Zigzag Slash,” a great song. Feature, douzo: www.myucorner.net/sotw_zigzagslash.html.

School’s starting next week so hopefully I can still get the updates done on time. Fingers crossed!

Vis-a-vis the blog display problem…I don’t know what the heck is wrong. I tried a theme switch and even a theme refresh (deleting the theme and then re-installing it; this is why the the title is just text and the text by the search box is generic; I haven’t gone in and changed it yet) and it didn’t fix the problem. I don’t know what to do!

Please enjoy the feature!

I forgot to post the site update roundup again last night. Gah. Anyway, I didn’t add anything other than the Song of the Week, so I guess it’s ok. Bye for now!

It’s time for Song of the Week again — and this week I’m on time!

Anyway, in honor of the fact that I really like Saturn in the myus and the fact that I just finished the Infinity Arc of the Sailor Moon manga last night (via scans from Neo Nobility), this week’s featured song is Saturn’s theme “To a Brand-New World.” Check out the feature here: www.myucorner.net/sotw_brandnewworld.html.

Please enjoy!

I totally forgot to do a site updates post yesterday! Gah, something is wrong with me, considering I didn’t get the Song of the Week done on time either. Mizude mo kabutte, hansei shinasai! (Douse yourself with water and repent!) Mercury would say to me.

Anyway, I didn’t add any new links, but I did upload the other omake guides I had done when I posted the Song of the Week. There are now guides up for the Last Dracul Jokyoku Guide Video, the Death Vulcan Super Revue Show, and the Black Lady Fankan, as well as placeholders for planned guides that will be up shortly (hopefully).

That’s all for this time. Good night!

It’s time for Song of the Week, although it’s delayed once again (I’ll try not to do that again, honest!). As teased last week, this week is a special one for SeraMyu. On August 11, 1993, the first musical opened and the SeraMyu phenomenon began. Now 17 years later, the fandom still remains. So what better song to commemorate this special week but “La Soldier”?

Check out the feature here: www.myucorner.net/sotw_lasoldier.html

Enjoy!

Hi there. I planned to have more done for this update but I got distracted. So here’s a really quick recap.

Links added: La Fatalite & Miracle Twister (a French fansite) to SeraMyu sites and Living Moon (a Polish fansite with myu and PGSM info that has an English version as well) to the Sailor Moon sites. I also changed the link for Musical Moon back into an image link.

Other updates: I finally got working on those omake guides; the one for the Shin Densetsu Kourin fankan went up on Thursday with the Song of the Week update. I got ones done for the Last Dracul Jokyoku Guide Video and the Death Vulcan Super Revue Show yesterday, and today I finished the one for the Black Lady fankan. I just have a couple Shin Kaguya ones and the Gaiden omake (which I forgot I had already seen) left to do for the omake I have seen. I also changed up the Stars unreleased event guides because I realized the event I’d credited as the “Sailor Stars Super Live Event Fashion TFT Hall” may not in fact have been that event at all, based on the info given for that event at Eternal.legend. I found it via a link from Miss Dream, which identified it as that event. Anyway, I want to be as accurate as possible, so I changed it. Once I finish the omake bits, I will have done at least one omake guide for every Moon’s stage. Yay!

Lastly, I tried to join the Seramyu Webring, run by Robin of The Sailor Senshi Page, but the join form wouldn’t come up when I clicked the link. Too bad.

Oh, and after reading some comments (which you readers never saw because they got marked as spam by my Akismet plugin) from people doubting I could make the Song of the Week feature last very long, I did some calculations to determine how many SeraMyu songs there are. There are a total of 395 vocal myu songs — 250 on myu soundtracks, 134 on non-soundtrack CDs, and 11 unreleased songs that weren’t released on any CD. (But then again, some of those non-soundtrack numbers might be duplicates). So I should be able to go for a little over a year doing this feature. Hopefully, by that time, I will have thought of some other way to add timely content to my site.

Well, that’s it for this week. Ja ne!

P.S. Haven’t had a chance to figure out what’s messing up the blog. Will try to look into it soon.

Hello again! It’s Song of the Week time again. This week, the featured song is Sailor Pluto’s first theme song, “Stay Alone.”  You can find the feature here: www.myucorner.net/sotw_stayalone.html.

Next week I’m going to pick a special song as a special anniversary for the myus is happening next Wednesday. Till then, please enjoy this week’s feature!

P.S. I don’t know why blog display is messed up; I’m going to try to figure out what’s going on. Hang tight.

It’s Sunday once again, and time for another site updates roundup for Myu Corner.

First things first, a celebration is in order: Myu Corner turns 8 months old today! Though the current version of the site only dates back to February 2010, the site itself actually debuted on December 1, 2009, at which time it was a Blogger site with a custom domain. However, I was dissatisfied with the lack of customization options available to me on that platform, so I went for an HTML site instead (completely unaware that Blogger would later create a template designer, which is currently available for beta use via Blogger in Draft), which is what you see today.

Now for the updates. Again, there have really only been links added, as I am continuing to proscratinate on writing those omake guides. (Bad Misty!) I have the time too. Anyway, links. These are the new additions to the links page since last week:

To “My Other Sites”: I added a link to A Bibliogirl’s Nook, my personal/domain site as it currently stands. I decided that this site was too complicated and could be scaled down to something much simpler. Not to mention that “vanity sites” (as personal sites are often called) are kind of dead. I will be changing it up soon.

To “SeraMyu Sites”: I changed the Musical Moon link to a text link a little while ago as the banner the site provided was too big in comparison to my other ones in the same category. I also just added a button for The StarLights of SeraMyu, a nice little site run by the same person who runs SeraMyu: Second Stage Shrine. I found the link via Bunny’s Tour Through the Silver Millennium’s links page. (Looking through links pages is a great way to discover new sites — especially if it’s a links page for a long-lived site like Bunny-chan’s).

To “Sailor Moon Sites”: As you know, my link updates are typically in this category, and this week is no different. I added several new sites to this category this week and also reorganized the buttons a little so they look lined up nicely (a couple of the buttons were longer than the others, messing up the flow, so I put them by themselves). I added the popular fan blog Family of Moonlight soon after writing my piece for them on Comic-Con. I also added a couple international sites (previously, Le Royaume, a French fansite, was the only international site I had listed) — SOS Sailor Moon Project (a Brazilian fansite) and Sailormoonworld.it  (an Italian fansite). Many major Sailor Moon fansites have been keeping an eye on Sailormoon World recently because of the breaking news it provides on the Italian redub of the anime as well as other redub announcements (they recently broke the news of a Brazilian redub, their source being SOS Sailor Moon Project). Both are very well-made sites as well. Other than these sites, I added the general SM site Everlasting Moonlight, the personal site/SM collection display site Kawaii Tsubasa, and the art/cosplay site Moon Prism, which has a great selection of handmade SM cosplay items for order, including an impressive Time Key and Silence Glaive. Also, Elly of my affiliate Miss Dream has joined with Moon Prism’s Mallory to make cosplay costumes you can also order. Lastly, I added The Worst Sailormoon Pages Ever, a long-running Amazoness Quartet-themed SM website review site that is fairly well-known in the online fan community, and a fansite for the Sailor Moon R movie called Red Tattoo, run by Bunny-chan of Bunny’s Tour Through the Silver Millennium.

To “Other Sites”: I added the well-laid-out domain hub site Frozen Wings to this section.

I have applied to have Myu Corner listed at both Bunny-chan’s site (the Tour, not Red Tattoo) and to the aforesaid Frozen Wings, which besides being a domain hub has a place for link exchanges as well. I really like the way that site is laid out; I looked at it for inspiration for the domain hub I am planning to make at bibliogirl.net (as I said at the beginning of the “links added” list). I also like the website Cardcaptor Studio, which is run by the same person. No word yet though; I’m not sure particularly with Bunny-chan’s site as she hasn’t added links to the link section for five years.

Lastly, remember when I said last week I’d been asked to write an overview of Comic-Con for Family of Moonlight? Well, I just discovered today via their Twitter (which I follow on another account I just opened) that my review had been posted on the site! You can view it here: http://moonratio.sailormoon.cc/?p=746. No word on being a full-on writer for the site yet, but since I put a link to Myu Corner in the overview, at least Myu Corner will get some exposure on this popular fan blog!

Well that’s it for this week. Good night!

P.S. Just found out Family of Moonlight added me to their links “family,” so I moved their button to the “affiliates” area since the “family” linking suggests a site-to-site affiliation rather than a listing.

Welcome to my first mobile-posted Song of the Week update!

I was thinking early this morning (very early in fact; I had to be at work at 6:30 am and this was before that) about what song to feature this week, and my thoughts turned to Chibiusa. Why? Maybe because I just bought some cute pink and white earbuds to replace my Skullcandy ones that fell out of my pocket on the bus? Or maybe because with the stressful week I’m having (I won’t go there) I needed something cute and happy to think about? Hard to know.

So anyway, along that vein I have chosen for this week’s song “Mata Mata Chibiusa Desu” (Again Again It’s Chibiusa), Chibiusa/Chibimoon’s main image song in the musicals. You can view my feature here: www.myucorner.net/sotw_matamatachibiusadesu.html

I will say, watching videos of this song on my iPod (via the YouTube client that comes standard) gave me a good laugh, which is good before an early day at work when I’m tired and stressed.

So anyway, please enjoy the feature!
