Pasted from main page:

On this joyous occasion we’d like to offer up a Christmas present to all of you, our dear fans. We’ve released a preview of a release we will have shortly into the new year. It is a karaoke’d rendition of Jingle Bells from a live-action fan event about Sailor Moon. It is quite cute and fits the season perfectly, and is a small download (19MB). Swing by the irc channel at #live-evil on irc.enterthegame.com (go to www.mirc.com for more information on irc), or get it off of bit torrent at:  http://a.scarywater.net/live-evil/%5BL-E%5DBSSM-Musical_-_BlackLadyKFankan_-_JingleBells(1EA8C12D).avi.torrent

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to sing Jingle Bells in Japanese, now is your chance

Some information on what this clip is from is supplied by our great timer gumbaloom:

“Sailor Moon musicals are part of the Sailor Moon franchise and were created on the back of the success of the anime. The musicals began in 1993 with Gaiden Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen and they have continued with 4 different actresses playing Sailor Moon to the present day. The current Sailor Moon is Marina Kuroki and she has played this role since 2001. She will be graduating from the Musicals on January 16th 2005.
As a taster for full musicals next year we bring you a short Christmas themed clip of “Jingle Bells” from the Fankansha event for Tanjou ! Ankoku No Princess Black Lady Kaiteban which was Marina’s second musical which was held from the 9th to the 11th November 2001 prior to the Musical which went on stage in January of 2002. Fankansha events are held approximately 2 months prior to the debut of a new musical and they are a special peformance for the fans of these musicals.”

Look out for a full-length subbed & karaoked musical shortly into the new year subbed by Live-eviL’s own pair of turtledoves, gumbaloom and Aniko. ^^ It’s 140 minutes of fun, singing, and dancing. We’ll more than likely continue subtitling these in the future! Post on our forums and let us know what you think of this new direction L-E is going to branch off into.

I think it's great and crazy

I think it scared me to death.  The fact there's more to come makes me want to run away.

So you're thinking of doing Sailor Moon Musicals and Fankansha?

I have to say, this is great,, Ever since I found out that they make these, I have been trying to find all I can, specially all the ones that have Marina Kuroki in them,, Marina was the first Sailor Moon Musical that I saw and her performance made you think that she really like doing this, like she was having so much fun, I was really fun to watch! And it wasn't even a "Subtitle" version.

I really hope that you will Fan sub these musicals and Fankansha, And maybe the past ones, at least the ones with Marina in them.

Seeing as Gumbabloom is a Sailor Moon junkie then I''m sure we'll be doing a fair bit of whatever there is.  Anyway, he's probabl the best one to ask re these projects.

In fact, have you considered tracking down KenYuen's old "Cruel Angel Productions" website (http://www.geocities.com/kenyuen1/sm/SeramyuSubtitledNews.htm)?

He used to be in the hard-sub (VHS and CD, etc.) business back in the ol' horse-and-buggy days, but there hasn't been an update on his site for a year or two:
Site lists fansubs for darn near ALL the musicals, all the way back to the (yeesh!) original--summer "first-drafts", winter "revisions" and fan-kanbans included--and having gotten a few on tape a while ago, I can vouch for the translations--
College took over, he couldn't seem to keep up with the hard-copy business, and the new digisub trade seemed to pass him by...But if he's still around (and there seem to be some December '04 updates on his page), why not make a merger deal for salvaging the translations onto "soft" copy, and you've got the entire library to choose from?
