Naoko Takeuchi's comments:

Ah, this is where she first commented on Seiya. These are from the 5th artbook! I found these translations from Manga Style!.

While I was thinking about season 5, the first image I drew of the Three Lights was this one. At first the three had short hair like in this drawing. But when Bandai saw them they cried, and asked if I couldn't make their hair longer for the dolls that were coming out (short was not suitable, it seems). Naoko having a soft spot for dolls, I attached tails onto the three of them.

When looking at this picture, one might wonder where Naoko acquired such a penchant for Western style clothing. (Actually it's Bo-G brand clothes.) As for the page itself, the kids are drawn in various singing scenes.

Here's the none-so-popular within Nakayosi. Three Lights and Kakyuu-sama. I really wanted to see Kakyuu-sama's Sailor Senshi figure in the anime. Always mysterious, why Toei didn't put her in?

The Sailor Starlights were supposed to have even more minor roles than the akuma. So when it looked like they were gonna get leading roles in the anime, I was totally surprised! Even more surprising, before transforming into Sailor Senshi they were men?! I was really shocked to learn that.
