   Human Luna is played by Rina Koike, I don't know how much acting experience   
   she's had, but I think she does a pretty good job for someone so young.   
      
   She has a video that's pretty much just her doing kid stuff at her (I   
   assume) school. Not much of it was interesting except for one bit in the   
   middle when she gets to the piano in the music room, this kid plays piano   
   like nobodys business. I wish I could play 1/2 as good.

   Aw, here we go again. How did she do that? Disguise phone? If it's a   
   disguise, why does she have power? Does she really have power or is it just   
   an illusion?

   The only 'chair' I've seen is when Zoisite sits on his piano bench to play.   
   Maybe the piano cost too much and they couldn't afford anything else. Hey,   
   maybe that's why the others seem to hate him so much! ^_-

   One time he was standing right behind her when she suddenly tensed up eyes   
   wide, just as if he pinched her butt or something.   
      
   No kidding go look.

   and... they all leave and let the strange girl stay behind in their secret   
   room all by herself.   
      
   Where does all that food go when Human Luna turns back into a cat?

   Ack! I hate her henshin, I think I got a toothache just watching it.   
      
   Also, Sailor Moon doesn't have very good hearing or she would have heard   
   Luna use her own name twice during the henshin.

   In the Kirari Super Live extras, Akira talks about his scene with Rina, he   
   says he'll never forget it, she whacked him about 5 times with that fan,   
   then someone said it wasn't acting, she meant it!!!  ^_^

   (sniff), I'll be glad when Ami is back to normal.
