Act 00: The Birth of Sailor V! (セーラーV誕生! / Seeraa V Tanjou!) 00:14 Fashion Jewellery Jupiter This is Naru's Mother's store. This advertisement snippet comes from Act 31. 00:27: Left side of screen reads: Minako Aino 00:27: Imitation's track listening 1. Hajimari no Densetsu (Beginning Legend) 2. IMITATION 3. Makeru na!

MAKE UP! POWER!! 00:50 Song: Silent Night 3:13 Myna Bird Hill myna birds (kyuukanchou, or more affectionately kyuu-chan) are birds famous for their mimickry abilities. 7:50 Go Bang's? This is a reference to Ikuko's actress Kaori Moriwaka who used to be part of a famous 80s/90s girl band called Go-Bang's. Ikuko arrived at saying this by saying gougou (outcry) and kouban (neighbourhood police station) to form go-ban(gs). 7:54 Stones and things The four police officers are the same actors for the Four Heavenly Kings in the rest of the show. Stones refers to the fact that the Four Heavenly Kings are named after minerals. 7:55 Sign reads: Juuban Local Police Station 8:47 Shirai, Akai, Kuroi... Hanako The first three names seem to refer to the hair colours of the Four Heavenly Kings white (shira) for Zoisite, red (aka) for Nephrite and black (kuro) for Kunzite. Hanako literally means "flower girl" and seems to serve as a generic female name here. Each character makes several references to their respective Four Heavenly Kings character such as Shirai's piano miming and mentioning of being "by their side". Akai's quick anger, Hanako's sensitivity and Kuroi's seemingly calm attitude and calls for revenge. 9:23 Pill bottle reads: Amitan 2000. This is a reference to Ami, -tan being a cutesy name affix, this scene mimicks Nephrite's scene where he ate Ami's cooking. 9:33 Kamako It seems this is built out of -ko, a name ending usually reserved for females and "kama" from "okama" alluding to the fact Jun Masuo is playing a woman here. Song: 13:37 Lovely Yell Singer: Mew Azama (as Makoto Kino) It seems this song appears as up until this point, Makoto's songs were the only ones to never appear in the series. 15:14 Let there be light for Cutie Kenkou This biblical reference is also a reference to Kenkou Satou, one of the directosr for the live-action series. The "light" references the "kou" in "Kenkou" which means light and the helicopter noises are one of Satou's trademarks, as heard in episodes such as Act 23. The magician theme may relate to famous Japanese magicians Tenkou Hikita and apprentice Marika Itakura (known as Princess Tenko).
