The DVD is available for preorder now on Amazon for 6,265 yen. Along with a compiled 163-minute recording of the November 6 performance in Osaka, the DVD also comes with 77 minutes of additional special footage, cast commentary, and a 28-page full color booklet.

If you want to really get into the “Sailor Moon” spirit, why not have a pre-viewing makeup transformation of your own with “Sailor Moon”-inspired Shiseido base and foundation? You can continue the magic long after the video is done too with the “Monster Hunter” – “Sailor Moon” collaboration, which will be released in Japan on March 18.
