The DiC/Cloverway/Optimum English adaptation of the anime series used the melody of "Moonlight Densetsu" with very different lyrics (At the time, it was unusual for anime theme songs to be translated, and this was one of the first such themes to be redone in English since "Star Blazers"). The English theme has been described as " but catchy". The Japanese theme is a love song based on the relationship between Usagi and Mamoru ("born on the same Earth"), whereas the English "Sailor Moon" theme rather resembles a superhero anthem.
