   In the intro, maybe it's just the angle, but Beryl looks MUCH more   
   talented than usual. Maybe she's using a special Dark Kingdom push up   
   bra.

   And Motoki was dissapointed that she wasn't coming to see him.

   This is the Sailor V outfit that Luna created for her via the disguise   
   phone in Act 0. Unless Minako had a new outfit specially made, she   
   shouldn't need to, nor be able to put it in a suitcase.   
      
   Hey! Maybe that's WHY she went to London... to have that suit made!   
      
   Why is Artemis telling Minako that she must fight alone? Don't the other   
   4 senshi count?   
      
   Minako: "It was my own decision to become Sailor V. Princess too..."   
      
   Princess too??? What does that mean? Is she referring the the plan she's   
   devised?

   I guess it's possible that they were sent to the studio and her manager   
   brought them over.   
      
   > Minako is certainly multitalented if she does her own mascot designs.   
      
   Yes, she seems to put a lot of effort into her own career.

   Usagi and Mokoto keep poking each other all the way up the escalator.

   Her manager is doing his nails.   
      
   Actually, I like her manager, he's a bit flamboyant, but in future   
   episodes he shows that he seems to really care about Minako and her   
   career

   Usagi leaves her book behind. Minako sees all of the pictures of the 4   
   girls together as friends. I'm sure she wishes she could be included in   
   that.

   Minako was going to go there as well but didn't only because of the   
   interferance by Usagi in the Hospital.

   And just why was he picked? I'm not aware that anyone knows that Minako   
   is either Sailor V or the Princess.

   Yes, he easily takes over the 3 Senshi, if TM hadn't shown up, Sailor   
   Moon would have been next and maybe game over. Good thing Sailor V didn't   
   show up as well.
