No comments for this episode!

- 2:09-2:45 – Two girls are clapping and praying in front of Rei’s shrine when Makoto advertises amulets as a cure for the lovesick, saying no matter how many times her heart is broken, she always finds a new boyfriend. Oji-san (Rei’s grandpa) says that if they use their amulets, they went have to worry about broken hearts. Minako hands an amulet out saying “If something happens, you can come back here”, and Oji-san says “I told you! Nothing will ever happen!”. After all the people have left, they’re all relaxing and Oji-san thanks Minako and Makoto for their help.

- 2:59-3:02 – Usagi, looking for Rei, has said “The outfits are cool, but I could never memorize sutras or anything”. The cut scene is Oji-san responding “This is a shrine! We don’t chant sutras!”

- 3:11-3:15 – A shot of a sign that says “T.A. Culture Festival” (T.A. Private Girls’ School is the name of Rei’s school)

- 4:12-4:17 – Rei has just said the she is so busy she could use the help of cats. Usagi arrives, Luna and Artemis in tow. The cut occurs when Usagi pulls Luna’s forelegs forward. Luna seems shocked.

- 4:20-4:21 – Usagi throws up her arms, tossing Luna and Artemis into the air.

- As the Senshi walk around the festival, a border is put in the dub.

- 9:22-9:27 – Luna has said “someone” could learn from Rei’s leadership skills. Usagi knows it’s her, so she smacks Luna on the head and says “Luna! I’ll smack you!” Luna has a big welt on her head, and says “Please don’t say that after you’ve already smacked me...”. However, in the dub a few seconds later, Luna is shown with the big welt on her head as they race off to the theater.

- 10:35-10:37 – The curtain closes as Ail and Ann’s act ends.

- The dub actually gives Raye’s last/family name as “Hino”, just like in the original!

- 12:17-12:18 – Today’s Cardian, as she comes out of the card, is cut. The rest of her pose is not cut. This might be because of her chest.

- The dub, in its infinite wisdom, has Serena saying “Moon Prism Power!” to transform in this episode. What happened to Moon Crystal Power?

- 16:34-16:37 – Seiren, the Cardian in this episode, is on fire and sprays water from its mouth to douse itself.

- 16:53 – Just before charging at Mars, this shot of Seiren is cut, probably because of the coverage again.

- 17:01 - It’s impossible to show here, but when Seiren is stopped from charging at Mars by the Moonlight Knight, her breasts bounce up and down. This is cut.

- After Mars’ music sheets are ripped up, a shot of her eye watching the papers fall is shortened by about 6 seconds.

- Rei’s songs in this episode:

  1. Japanese:
    1. 1st song: “Hottokenai Yo” ("I Can't Leave Her Alone")
    2. 2nd song: “Eien no Melody” ("Eternal Melody")
  2. English:
    1. 1st song: “Call My Name (And I’ll Be There)”
    2. 2nd song: “Oh Starry Night”

- Interestingly, the two 2nd songs have some similarities in the instrumentals.

- In this episode’s Sailor Says, a shot of Makoto with the charm on her finger, cut from earlier this episode, is here in plain view.
