From "U_ca"*-san, age 17, in Kagoshima

I'm a Haruka-san-loving, Michiru-san-idolising, being-a-priestess-same-as-Rei-chan 17 year old. I don't think I would have reached this HP** without being guided by that star... I'm so happy I sent the cute Luna a 'Thanks' mail. From here, Sailor Moon will always be my Patron Saint. If this makes it to the update, I'll be overjoyed!

Hello U_ca-san. Thankyou for the 'Thanks' mail! You're a priestess - that's kinda amazing, huh. At New Year you must have been REALLY busy, right? Guided by a star... feels like a fateful meeting! Please love Sailor Moon all this year, too ☆

* U_ca is how she wrote her name - using English letters. I don't know what it's supposed to mean. She wrote a lot of things in English, like 'cute', and 'Thanks' was written in English and in English letters as well.
** The letters 'HP' in English have popped up a couple of times in letters and I have no idea what they mean. I hope you can understand the letter anyway.

From Maabootei-san, age 21, in Hiroshima

I love Mercury and Neptune, the water users.

Water users... Mercury and Neptune you said, those two are really cool and kind, aren't they. More and more, they use water to save tired minds + souls. So I think if you ever managed to see them you'd feel really lucky.

From Yurina-chan, age 13

Hello Luna!! Is Ami-chan in any sort of school clubs ('extracurricular activities')? Since I was young I loved music so I got to be the one who plays the wind instruments!! The wind instrument I'm in charge of is the trombone!!!! (Laugh)

Hello Yurina-chan. A trombone you say, that's so cool. Having to control the music by moving that length of pipe stuff sounds really difficult, but if you try your best you'll get really good at it. ¢â I wonder if you'll become a musician like Michiru-san in the future? When Ami-chan was a junior highschooler she was part of the 'Coming Home Early Club'*. When she went to highschool, she joined the Computer Club.

(* As explained in December of last year, in most Japanese schools after-school clubs are compulsory. To get around this, students who'd rather use their time to study or do homework [or goof off] join a 'Going Home Early Club', which is basically a 'club' that comes together to celebrate going home instead of going to your club. Usagi was/is also a member of this club. Club club club.)

From Soo-chan, age 8, in Okinawa*

Whenever I feel depressed, I always look at this**~ Eheh...

It's so nice that Soo-chan gets happier whenever she's here. Watching all of Usagi + co.'s stories at Prism Channel, getting your fortune and playing at the Game Corner, there's lots of fun to be had here.

(* Just interesting trivia you probably already knew: Okinawa is one of the islands south of Japan. It's a laid-back sort of place and it's a popular tourist destination for mainland Japanese locals [sorta like Hawaii]. Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid is from there, as well as Mew Azama [the Live Action actress of Makoto/Sailor Jupiter].
** She could be talking about Sailor Moon in general, but I (and Luna) assumed she meant the Sailormoon.Channel. website.
*** These are all activities you can enjoy at Sailormoon.Channel. Prism Channel is a place where the Manga gets condensed and animated into a sort of elaborate slideshow presentation, Princess Serenity will tell you your fortune and there are some simple Japanese games you can play at Motoki's Game Corner. You can visit them via the main page; You can get to Prism Channel by clicking on Rei, Serenity's Fortune by clicking on Setsuna and Game Center Crown by clicking on Minako.
Lots of notes this time, thanks for paying attention. I should also mention that I'm in love with this particular letter... so simple but so cute. ¢¾)

From Sailor-chan, age 10, in Kyoto

Usagi-chan has Luna, but doesn't Chibi-Usa get a cat too? (Well, she's got Luna-P, but still...)

- - - - -

Chibi-Usa has Diana~! ☆ Even though she's still just a kitten, she does her best to protect Chibi-Usa. Diana is my and Artemis's child from the future, in the 30th Century.*

(* Please don't forget that these responses are written from the PoV of Luna... Artemis is not my lover. D:)
