| Well, it was long time ago, in 1992. I was sarting to be a fan of Katsura Masakazu sensei's manga named Video Girl AI. When I discovered that it was an anime version I got it the fast way I could it and then I heard that song (opening theme) and the melody and voice really shocked me. It was a beautiful song for a good anime. Nice memories :) | |

| My two memorial songs are "Choudenshi Bioman", the opening theme to the sentai Bioman by Takayuki Miyauchi and the original Sailor Moon theme song "Moonlight Densetsu" by DALI. These are my memorial songs because these are the songs that got me hooked onto the sentai series and the Sailor Moon anime when I was a kid. And it is those songs that got me rehooked now 12 years later. Everytime I hear those songs, it makes me very nostalgic of my childhood. I can still visualize the opening credits to both shows when I hear them. When I heard those songs again, i said to myself "I so remember this song." The music just stood out to me so much that even after 10 years or so, i can still remember it. | |
