Though cousin marriage has never been a taboo in Japan. If they had been incestuous lesbian cousins in the Japanese version, the fact that they were two girls would actually have been the bigger deal to them. Japan is only 'learning from them' with the stuff that would actually be taboo over there in real life, primarily siblings or parent/child.

Listening to this makes me think that the voice actresses for Uranus and Neptune were very aware of the romantic relationship of their characters and chose to use these sultry kind of ‘hot for you’ voices for the characters.
