Translator's Notes 2002 Winter – Tanjou! Ankoku no Princess Black Lady [Kaiteiban] ~ Wakusei Nemesis no Nazo 2002 Winter – The Birth! The Princess of Darkness, Black Lady [Revised Edition] ~ The Enigma of Planet Nemesis~ 09:39 Private Mystery Circle "Mystery Circle" is a wasei term, these are Japanese terms that have come from English, but do not exist in normal English. Mystery Circles are what we usually call "crop circleS", it seems that by the time the Japanese were introduced to the concept, the connotation to "crops" was dropped. 10:23 UFO! UMA! The Japanese pronounce UFO as a word. UMA is another term, we don't really have in English, it stands for "Unidentified Mysterious Animal", usually what we refer to as "cryptids" 12:05 Angel Hair This musical is full of paranormal references. Angel Hair is a substance that is said to be like spider threads that disintegrates quickly. It is said to be created by UFOs. 12:08 Mameshiba This is a Japanese word that refers to a smaller-sized shiba breed of dog. 13:54 21st Century Since this musical was made in 2002, they have changed the traditional "20th Century" in Sailor Moon to 21st. 15:18 HyuruHyuru Rockerman "HyuruHyuru" is an onomatopoeic word for whistling. 16:23 Black Sabbath An English rock band, 40:27 MAX/CliMAX MAX is a famous Japanese vocal group, standing for Musical Active eXperience. At the time this musical was staged, MAX was undergoing a lineup change, with one of their four members taking hiatus due to a pregnancy, a replacement was added. Seems Usagi's trying to mimick this in some way. 41:33 Miss Karas Vegas This is a pun on "Las Vegas" (rasubegasu) "Calaveras" (karaberasu) and "Crow" (karasu) for whatever reason, the actress for Calaveras, Ado Endou is associated with crows, playing characters Sailor Lead Crow and White Crow Ado in other shows. This might actually be the beginning of her Crow theme but this is speculation. 42:25 Kouan Kurozuki Probably not the best disguise, "Kurozuki" literally means "Black Moon" 43:28 Japan / Rock, Paper, Scissors Usagi's confused Japan (japan) with the Japanese equivalent of Rock, Paper, Scissors (jan ken) 44:40 Quadruple Metre He's referring to the common 4/4 Time Signature. 44:43 HyuruHyuru Karajan References to Herbert von Karajan, an Austrian orchestra conductor. 49:12 Age of Aquarius / Age of Pisces Calaveras and Venus are referring to astrological ages. The Age of Aquarius is often associated with world reformation movements. Supposedly we are in the Age of Pisces which is associated with Venus. 58:10 Feel So Faraway This song is a lyrical remake of "Lonely Distance" from the Sailor Stars musicals. 1:15:40 Wicked Black Crystal Earrings Often the Japanese use the German word for earring, such as in this case "pierce" (piasu) however we used the English to stop confusion. 1:59:25 Moment Fatal / Mon amour, c'est bien Moment Fatal is French for Fatal Moment. Mon amour, c'est bien is French for "My love, is well"
