Sakura Con Schedule Now Available!

For our readers interested in attending Sakura Con 2011, the programming schedule is now available for download in PDF format.

The schedule also lists the Sailor Moon panel that I (Emily) will be hosting on behalf of Moon Chase! The panel is called Sailor Moon: 15 Years and Counting. If you're interested in attending, the panel will be held in Panels 5 (rooms 611-612) on Friday evening (the 22nd) from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

We're very excited about this, since we've heard that the room is larger than last year's Sailor Moon panel in addition to having a longer time slot than most panels. We're very appreciative of the staff at Sakura Con who have made this panel possible. Thank you very much!

Moon Chase staff is currently working on our discussion topics for the panel and I'm assembling reference notes for fan questions. If you can make it to the panel, we'd love to see you there!


I hinted before that I'll be wearing a costume for part of the convention. The costume is an uncommon one for Jupiter/Makoto: the white dress seen in the ending credits of the S season (with "Tuxedo Mirage" as the ending theme). I don't tend to get recognized as Jupiter when I wear it, I guess because it's a bit more of an obscure costume. I will definitely be looking out for other Sailor Moon cosplayers to photograph, I hope to see lots!

Last year I flew in from Toronto and it was expensive, so I totally understand. This time, I have been staying in Oregon for a while so my boyfriend and I will be driving up. Makes the costs much easier for me.

I'll try to keep an eye out for your friend at the panel :)

I'm thinking to wear my costume on Saturday, since that tends to be a popular day to cosplay. It's also the day of Kotono Mitsuishi's Q&A session. I might try to put it on just before the panel on Friday too, depends on timing.
