What's your favorite background music, either from the dub or the original?

Also, does anyone else find the original "This is what will happen this episode" music to be horribly inappropriate for some episodes? They would eventually change it up to a more dramatic tune for the big episodes, but the cheerful violins seemed... such a terrible choice for some episodes. I know it was probably to distract you from the fact that something horrible was about to happen, but the clips said it all, didn't it?

From the original, I absolutely adore Tuxedo Kamen's intro music. Whenever he came on, I would just swoon because of the music alone as a child!

The Narration track, what happens in the dub's exposition intro, and whenever "stuff happens".

Carry On: Both the original, and the MIDI version I have.

Usagi's original transformation themes in the first season.

The locket melody, and it's variations on different instruments.

Both really. Theres some parts where I liked DiC's music over the original, or visa versa, and not just because of nostalgia reasons.

DiC did a pretty good job capturing the right "feel" to a scene, I even noticed theres some parts of their score that actually borrowed the same melodies and notes as the original Japanese version. Pretty neat. Its a real shame they never put out an actual soundtrack.

The Japanese score is also enjoyable, but it's kinda dull at times and can get pretty repetitive, however it serves its main purpose as "background noise". I know I like putting on the soundtracks during a quiet afternoon, and need some non-distracting music while I'm trying to do whatever it is I'm doing. (Meanwhile DiC's score had a little more pep.)
There are some real gems mixed in among the more redundant tracks that stand out and outshine DiC's music, though. The Outer Senshi's themes, and the creepy circus themes from SuperS, being some great examples why i'm glad I got to hear those during my youth instead of DiC's music, which would later help form my appreciation for soundtracks.

My favorite is definitely this one:


It's an instrumental Otome no Policy.  That's my absolute favorite, but there are many more I love to listen to!

Yes, I noticed the opening BGM to seem a little out of place at times - wasn't it the opening for episode 46, even?

I REMEMBER THIS! It was so weird >.>. Though since I knew what was coming it almost made the moment more tense somehow 'cause of the mismatch?? The first time I saw that opening I was going crazy wondering if I had loaded up the wrong episode XD.

I have different favorites from each season, but in the S and SuperS season I really loved any time there was an "oooo Sailor Moon" bit XD. I guess it was only during the transformations and the SuperS eyecatch but yeah... Still one of my guilty pleasures to sing along with them! They're just so wonderfully cheesy and like... Vanna White or something lol.

From the DiC dub, I did like the 'Negaverse' bgm.

Uranus and Neptune's transformation background music-for sure! Such a MAD violin solo!
The starlights transformation music as well because it's such a jam, and march of the sailor solders. There's a lot more-but these are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head-at least out of the OST.
