Do you have this song or music file?

Please don't ask me to send music files, I won't send any to you.

The only music files you can get from this site are midi files. I took down the few mp3's I had available for download years ago. If you want Sailor Moon music, you can search via peer to peer software such as Kazaa, or you can go to a website that distributes anime music files. I highly recommend SailorMusic.net for Sailor Moon music.

I also suggest searching for the CDs. You can see the information about where to find merchandise later on this page.

Where can I buy Sailor Moon merchandise?

For CDs:
The North American CD releases can still be found in some regular music stores. I don't recommend "The Full Moon Collection" unless you like re-mixes.

For the Japanese CDs, conventions are a good place to look, but be wary of bootlegs. While there are plenty of CDs which are out of print (meaning bootlegs would be the only option for those), be careful about buying them. If you are paying more than it costs to make the CD, you are being ripped off (yes, that means $20 is a rip-off for a bootleg). Bootlegs are illegal, so try to avoid them. Two of the most common companies that make bootleg CDs are Sonmay and EverAnime. Buy official merchandise to show your support for the people who have made Sailor Moon. You can also try comic and specialty shops, but not many carry any anime CDs (and some may have bootlegs, so be careful).

I've listed some of the CDs available through Amazon.ca below. All three North American releases, but only some of the Japanese CDs. I did not include links to any of the CDs for the musicals or live action versions of Sailor Moon.

For Books:
The books are out of print, but you can try used book stores and some comics or specialty shops. The Beguiling in Toronto may have what you're looking for (look for them at conventions). You may find the manga volumes for reasonable prices in used book stores especially. You may also be able to get a good deal at a convention. I don't recommend buying the books from the re-sellers on Amazon. Their prices are ridiculously expensive. If the books are used, that means the prices are even more unreasonable. Personally, I won't be buying any of the manga volumes if they cost much more than $15 each. The original cover price is roughly $10 for each volume.

For DVDs:
The North American releases are out of print or available in very limited quality. ADV released seasons 1 and R uncut on DVD, Pioneer/ Geneon released seasons S and Supers uncut on DVD. Some are still available on Amazon (see links below for the sets). You can also try looking for them at conventions and at comics or specialty shops.

There are also various online retailers you can try for any of the items. You can use the information on the Amazon.ca pages I've linked below to find the items elsewhere if you like. Amazon.com may have some different prices, but they also might not ship certain items to Canadian addresses. I can't recommend other online retailers because I have had no experience with them. Be careful with eBay, because you'll tend to find bootlegs there more than official merchandise.
