Eien No Melody

I get a real odd feeling when listening to Sailor Moon songs. I can’t even describe what it is, I guess it’s some sort of deppressive nostalgia that just shovels over me, and most certainly when I hear “Eien No Melody” as it was the first song I ever recorded myself singing, and I remember I loved this song so so much and was very disappotioned that this very episode, where Rei enter some sort of talent show or music show, never made it to Sweden, they just skipped the episode because Rei’s dubber didn’t want to sing or they didn’t want to translate the song, or something like that. I might be wrong though, I haven’t been on the “Sailor Moon on Swedish” sit for a long time.

As a matter of fact I went on it a few weeks ago for the first time in like 10 or 12 years. It was quite odd actually, to go back to the page that used to be my favorite when I was younger.

Yeah. It’s odd isn’t it? Whenever I went on the internet when I was younger, you know, the time when your internet was connected to the phonewires, I’d only use the internet to print pictures of Sailor Jupiter or Zoisite, or just printing pictures of anyone from Sailor Moon, Digimon and at some occasions, Pokemon. I remember I was at my grandparents using their computer once, and I was gonna show my grandfather who Sailor Jupiter was. Thing was the picture was SO HUGE and their modem wasn’t very fast, so it took about 30 minutes just to load a picture of Sailor Jupiter. If I recall right, it should be this one or someone similar to it.

I even remember how I learned the english word “Important”. I had been reading ahead of Digimon online, finding out Kari was Tai’s little sister, and I asked my mom how you said someone was important to someone, as Kari was important to Tai.

But yes. I was on one social network site, Kamrat.nu. But I only talked to Sailor Moon fans on there. I even had that huge picture of S. Jupiter on my page. God, those were the days.

Sometimes I see all the small, small pictures I have taped up on Ami, S.Moon, Minako or S. Jupiter on various locations in my room. If you’ve visited me, I doubt you’ve seen them, Minako is taped on the side of my door, meaning, you can only see it when the door is open. Ami is taped on the edge of the door, on the lower edge, close to the floor. Sailor Moon is right in the middle of the door, together with all the other nonsense on my door. And S. Jupiter… that one you’ll never find. Because she’s covered UNDER a Pokemon poster that is buried UNDER a couple of The Sims posters that are buried under a KISS poster that is buried under some clothing. So yeah, if you can bear yourself to dig into all this, you’ll find her. And you’ll also find my Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears posters too.

Like I said.

Those were the days.
