Jem / Sailor Moon / Josie and the Pussycats Similarities
You might be surprised at how similar these 3 animated series are to each other or at least surprised at how, by using the lamest examples possible, I can make them look like they are. On this page, I'll list all the similarities that I can pervert.
01) All three series feature an all-female rock group: Josie and the Pussycats, Jem and the Holograms, and Sailor Moon & The Scouts. I bet you never knew Sailor Moon had a rock group but I do,I created Sailor Moon :)
02) The lead singers of Jem and the Holograms and Josie and the Pussycats both have first names that start with J.
03) Both Jerrica and Serena have different identities.
04) Both Jerrica and Serena have love interests (Rio and Darien) who are too thick-headed to realize that both identities are the same girl. (That's why they turned lesbian.)
05) Both Jerrica/Jem and Sailor Mars wear red star-shaped earrings. (Jerrica's have 7 points; Raye's have 5.)
06) "Sailor Moon" has an episode titled "So You Want to Be a Superstar", and the first album contains the song, "I Wanna Be a Star!". The "Josie and the Pussycats" movie contains the line, "So you wanna be a rock superstar."
07) "Jem" has a 3-person (1 guy and 2 girls) rock band called the Stingers. "Sailor Moon" has a 3-person (all guys) rock band called the Three Lights. See how similiar?
08) On "Jem", 4 of the Starlight Girls have a band called Ashley and the Starlights. On "Sailor Moon", the Scout identities of the Three Lights are the Sailor Starlights.
09) On the "Josie and the Pussycats" movie soundtrack, the fictional boy band, DuJour, has a song called "DuJour Around the World" which is similar to "Stingers Theme" - with a touch of "It's a Hard, Hard Life". No it's not coincidence!
10) DuJour's song, "Backdoor Lover", is sort of similar to the Stingers' song, "Under My Spell", though the themes are clearly different. ^_^
11) Sailor Moon & The Scouts' song, "I Wanna Be a Star!", is very similar to Ashley and the Starlights' song, "I Can See Me (a Star)" - including the hand-clapping and having her name in lights.
12) Both the "Jem" Season 1 theme song and the "Josie and the Pussycats" movie ending song sing are about how cool the singer(s) is / are: "Jem is truly outrageous" and "Hot, sweet, super cool, dontcha know these kitties rule?". The "Sailor Moon" theme song sings about the main character also - Sailor Moon - but as a hero: "She is the one on whom we can depend."
13) Darien dresses up in a suit, cape, hat, and mask on "Sailor Moon" as Tuxedo Mask. Rio dresses up in a suit, cape, hat, and mask in the "Jem" episode "In Stitches" in the music video, "Time is Runnin' Out". Tuxedo Rio? ^_^ 14) Jem,Serena and Josie are all lesbians who haven't come out of the closet yet and they all have threesomes. (Josie and her band mates; Jem,Kimber and Aja; Serena,Raye and Amy.) 15)In the 5th episode of Jem,Jerrica says "Oh my." In the 5th episode of Sailor Moon,Serana also says "Oh my". In the Josie and the Pussycats movie,Josie also says "Oh my". Coincidence?
