Will Minegishi Minami of  AKB48 be Sailor Moon in a New Live Action Sailor Moon show?

A very old very unreliable rumour of a new Sailor Moon show is making the rounds on the Internet. After reading about it on my favourite Sailor Moon message board I tracked the source down to a Live Journal post which referenced many sources, all unreliable, some of which date back to May 1st 2011. The show would be an hour long and play on TBS starting October 23rd 2011.

I have no expectation that there is any validity to these rumours. I only post this here as the rumour itself may be of general interest if the news gets around the Internet. Since May there has been nothing resembling official confirmation from any of the involved parties. Almost every one of these actors is a Japanese pop singer, leading me to believe this is just a random wish list made up by some Japanese Pop music fan.

Here’s the full proposed cast of this new show:

Minegishi Minami of AKB48 as Sailor Moon

Why are they all singers? Why is Sailor Pluto younger than all the people she’s supposed to be older than? Which one of these girls would you rather plow? All questions we may never get answers to…
