"Mother"
First thing I want to get off right about now is that I am a novelist. *no, this is not a plug for
me, this is more for Naoko Takeuchi* And if there is one thing I wish in the world, that is to be able to tell a
story as powerful and as smoothly as Takeuchi can.
She brings the story line together, with fantasy, science fiction, other worlds, magic, angels,
good and evil, tragedy, and love.
Naoko Takeuchi uses several elements in her story that were milestones in her life. Remember
where the manga takes place, in Afuza Juuban in Tokyo, the place where BSSM took place. Usagi's mother's (Ikuko),
father's (Kenji) and brother's (Shingo) names are the same names of Naoko's parents and brother!
Naoko Takeuchi has done several other manga besides Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, Vol 1-18,
although none of them ever grew as popular.
They are (in alphabetical order):
Her favorite color is gold, and according to my Personalities by Color book, that gives her
a sunny disposition and a ready smile, cheery attitude, and a great optimism. ^__^
Naoko Takeuchi has said that she is most like Usagi, and least like Michiru. Her favorite song
from Sailormoon is Team Venus; she says that right after breaking up with someone close and listening to the
song, she was so sad because she understood how Minako felt. Well, she shouldn't be feeling bad now. She married
Togashi Yoshihiro, who is the author of Yuu Yuu Hakusho, [I like that anime!] and Hunter X Hunter on
January 6th, 1999.
It is said that the Sailormoon R movie (the greatest Sailormoon movie of all time apparently),
was written by her, as well as some of the S seasons' episodes. Aside from doing that, she has also written the lyrics
of many of the beautiful songs that are sung and/or played throughout the series. Among them are:
Some songs were only recorded on CDs.
