Hi, 👋🏽 My name is Chris, aka TDRExplorer, and I started sharing my theme park adventures. Over the years, TDRExplorer has evolved into a resource for passionate theme park fans looking to make the best of their trips to Asia. Including Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan!

[@luigigreenbros]

So unfortunate that international travelers are restricted in Japan. Not much international fans are going to be able to see this exhibit. Glad I could go to a Sailor Moon Cafe in Osaka back in 2017.

[@tdrexplorer]

Yeah, it's been tough but it looks like things are slowly moving to allow tourists to roam the country once again. It is friggen slow though.

[@shantellegatson7205]

Where you getting this from? Tokyo is one of the destinations with my tour company. They wouldn’t have it available if it’s no international travel…

[@tdrexplorer]

You can visit Japan on a tour booked through a company. Individually travelers aren’t allowed yet without booking with a company. The rules keep changing (like this past week for next month). It can be confusing.

[@shantellegatson7205]

@@tdrexplorer o okay cool to know

[@Amy-333]

Good news for you here. The alleviation of international travelers restriction after 7Sept has been announced by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan recently.

[@Esandeech2]

Naoko Takeuchi did so well. Im so proud of her. Sailor Moon is still standing strong after 30 years!

[@lavendermagic84]

Sailor *MOON* has been my favourite anime for 30 years. I really REALLY wish I could come see this and try the food and grab all the merch! I'm so jealous of everyone that gets to experience this!

[@aaronroseman]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I hope this is annual!!! I love Sailor Moon! I’m a 37-year-old man from LA, do NOT judge me! I’ve been watching it for 20+ years!!

[@sydgamer6665]

Seeing that "thank you drawing" that was made just for this show was really nice. Just made me have the thought of "they still have it, that love for it" seeing how well drawn and true to character Sailor Moon still was, no details skimped or anything, makes me feel like the creator stills loves these characters. I know some artist get done seeing their things all the time, burnout, just like singers get tired of singing the same thing over and over again so it's always nice to see those who still seem to care for them, just like their fan base. Moon, power!

[@tdrexplorer]

I almost forgot to add that little bit with the "Thank you" at the end. I felt it was very appropriate. Thank you so much for watching!

[@apuspeak8764]

You won't get tired if your creation are making banks.

[@tacosaurusscottishfold4475]

I really like the original Sailor Moon back in the 90's more than the new crystal version but this looked so cool! I wish the museum can be open longer because I'm going to Japan next year for the Ghibli museum. I also have most of the merchandise there too and the Neo Queen Serenity dress also.

[@LaBlueStateGirl]

Wow, you have most of it! I'm impressed! My stuff is in storage but I think I only have a few of Sailor Moon's wands, the Senshi's wands from R, a locket/music box a few dolls including the talking Sailor Mercury and maybe one or two UFO catchers. I think I was gifted a North American Luna Ball at one point. I hope that you enjoy your time in Japan!

[@luisfillipebeserra2108]

You already know that there is more crystal/manga than 90s things

[@tmlawson751]

the new one is produced and owned more directly by the creator

[@ImThechosenMan]

@@luisfillipebeserra2108 the first season in the 90s is what really made the new version able to profit in terms of merchandise a long time brand with an amazing beginning is how they are going about it.

[@luisfillipebeserra2108]

@@ImThechosenMan lol even you don't believe that, 90s sailor moon would be NOTHING without Naoko and the manga, you guys can't accept that

[@scourgesaur5337]

You sir are invaluable. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!

[@tdrexplorer]

That means a lot, thank you! I'm glad I was able to share this with everyone.

[@panth753]

I am glad you are able to share the Sailor Moon exhibit with us who can't visit Japan. I hope they can do a tour with it for us international Sailor Moon fans someday

[@honduranlinda]

I wish something like this could come to the US! I would totally cry 😭

[@benmiller404]

“There’s a lot going on in there, just like me.” 😂 Also, I audibly gasped when I saw the human Luna dress! 😮

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Japan really does have a musem for everything! Incredible. Sure Western animation like Nicktoons and Disney are great and all, but there's nothing wrong with opening up to animation from another country. And it is clear with you that watching this anime made you love Japan and want to eventually move there. You are living your dream.

[@missservonne]

Good old days with Sailor Moon on YTV ❤ Greetings from Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦

[@WingedKey]

I was jealous throughout this entire video, but got especially jealous when they went to the cafe

[@robertsadler1275]

This sailor moon museum looks absolutely amazing although they say its open till this year they need to keep it open until next year as the borders are slowly starting to opening up to independent travellers and i bet there are thousands of us Moonie fans round the world want to experience and support!

[@monikajaksik3708]

I just cried while watching it 😭 I would die to go there and see all that! Been a Sailor Moon fan ever since I can remember!

[@ShannonMorse]

This is the best tour video I've seen and I LOVE your coverage of the pop up cafes. You're so thorough!! Thanks for sharing this experience with us international fans.

[@tdrexplorer]

Thanks so much!!

[@_meags]

this was so nostalgic for me, i remember watching sailor moon on tv when i was a kid. my favorite part of all your videos is the food! japan is always on another level with the presentation and creativity

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching! I had a lot of food that day haha.

[@shaylalauren]

I love how quiet it is why you are filming. Thank you what you do! I kinda don’t blame Japan for not having just anyone visit willy nilly. Restrictions protect people. Love the commentary and keep finding these museum’s!

[@AmeliaRheaTanTang]

I've been such a huge Sailor*MOON* fan since I was 14 when I read the Chinese translated manga and the one thing I loved in this exhibit was seeing all the original artwork from the manga blown up and displayed in all its glory.

[@celianunn2070]

I have been obsessed with Sailor Moon my whole life! My brother's birthday is the same as Minako. Hopefully Next time it's open we can go ^^ Fun little story, when I was 9 I wrote to Naoko Takeuchi, and I think it was a month or two later I got a response, on my Birthday! (10/12) Easily the best present EVER!

[@kennethtaylor3467]

wonderful that you've shared this experience with the rest of us. only found out now about this exhibition from another video of a walkthrough and thus a bit jealous that i cannot experience it for myself. been a fan of the show since it first aired early mornings in the mid 90s and still enjoy rewatching it. Bless Naoko Takeuchi for creating such memorable characters that we are still celebrating today.

[@moncilu]

Thank you so much for the tour. For those of us who are not allowed into Japan. I went to the Sailor Moon exhibition a few years ago and loved it. I grew up with the manga and find the artwork absolutely stunning even today. Not really into the anime versions myself. Looking at the original hand drawn manga pages gave me goosebumps. I really hope Japan opens before end of the year and I will definitely visit. Buying all the manga related merch 😍

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching!

[@manangc]

I had goosebumps throughout the video. My 90s teenage self was gawking at all the costumes & merch! Really awesome video

[@LovelyLJ]

This is SO cool. I'm glad the algorithm suggested this for me, I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@martinmoore2468]

Sailor Moon is now became even more popular magical sailor girl in Japan 🇯🇵. Not just Tokyo, but all of the cities in that country.

[@moonlightcosmos]

I loved watching every minute of this, beginning to end. It was so amazing to see all of the detail and color put into this whole building. The food looked so delicious! Thank you for letting us fans come along for a tour with you since travel is restricted to Japan. It was wonderful. :)

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you so much for watching, Jenny!

[@TheBlueWizard77]

Hi! I live in Montreal, and I can't find too many activities related to Sailor Moon fans here. I went to Japan in 2017 but the Sailor Moon Cafe closed before I arrived. Would like to keep in touch with other sailor moon fans. Thanks for the tour.

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

For me the absolute best "Sailor Moon food" was in the café from the exhibition at the Mori Art Museum back in 2016. Not only the presentation was much better, the food was good restaurant quality.

[@Cool-eo1oe]

Moon. Thank you for covering this! Cafes are so limited in Japan so it’s always nice to see ones you can’t go to. ✨🌟

[@sopranophantomista]

This is wonderful! Thank you very much for filming and giving a comprehensive look at the museum. I'm stuck in Canada, but if I had to money to drop everything and go to see this, I totally would. This exhibit is incredibly well thought out and comprehensive, I love how they kept the boxes with all the merchandise. I also really enjoy all the costumes and the wedding dresses, too. It's so cool to see all the details on the costumes up close, especially the Bondai run. I always loved the double layers on the skirts.

[@dragonfye1]

Good Old Sailor Moon, my very first Anime 😊

I'll never forget seeing Sailor Moon for the first time. I was in junior high, 7th or 8th grade and they replaced Ronin Warriors (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers) with Sailor Moon. I was so upset at first, because I loved RW, but then I watched it. I will always call Chibi-Usa Reeni and Naru will always be Molly. To this day I still love and cry over what could have been between Naru and Nephrite. Thank you for sharing this. It's amazing to see since I can't go personally.

Just finished watching the video. I have a few favourite items. First it's the gorgeous wedding gowns! I had a sailor moon themed wedding, and the gowns would definitely make a statement! The second thing is those led wall lights. It's so cool! It would make a great addition to any house or cafe, it screams I'm a sailor moon fan 😆 Next is the acrylic stand of the beautiful backdrop at the entrance. Oh, I also love those clear files and postcards. I have a collection, it's small, light, affordable, and easy to store. I really hope Japan will fully open up the borders before the sailor moon museum ends. Moon 🌙
