Actialy if you look carefuly you will notice that in firsts seramyus the one who have more words in song and more pawes in it - has less moves in dance. for easy notice look the chasing with 1'st stage fighter were singing most of it. and oters were more dancing. The same gose for all songs in that period.
This variation not careful since Marina jump to lot - and not in right time - she jump when she need more force on voice. And that not her foult but thous who were teaching her. :)
Well, everyone has a right to their own opinion. But I think it's not that bad. When I heard Anza's version of this song for the first time, I liked it very much. But I thought that the singer is a GUY! (I just didn't know where the song was taken from).
As for Marina, it is impossible to mistake her for a guy. She has a gentle and feminine voice. It may not sound as energetic as Anza's but it's good after all. I like both versions no matter what.
Knockin Down Hesitation was created for Anza at the time, so don't go bashin Marina if she can't sing it as good as the first Sailor Moon :P Same as how Link was made for Fumina, who couldn't dance much less sing AND dance at the same time, and everyone sings a song differently. Miyuki never sang Link I don't think, but with her voice she probably couldn't sing it as well as Fumina, who actually did have a pretty voice, girl just couldn't dance :P
I'm not a huge Marina fan, but I wouldn't say she "butchered" it. She was pitchy at the ends of some of the phrases though. I prefer Anza's version, but I don't hate this.
Her voice is too childish. Anza sang this better because she had a more grown-up voice. Also, the song was made for her. But, the producers really shouldn't have made Marina sing this. It's just not for her. Marina's English is better but it's not much. Anyway, Mercury's dancing is fantastic!
Did you stop to think it might be because Marina was a child when she started playing Sailor Moon. Really, this level of negativity towards a popular Usagi/Sailor Moon that's not Anza is annoying. I'm pretty sure real Japanese Sera Myu fans do not share your opinions. In fact, if they hated Marina as ,much as you guys do, she would not have been Usagi. Both Anza and Marina brought unique qualities to the role. Just accept it and move on.
I know she was a child. She sounds great in her other songs. That was why I said her voice was too childish. Anza's was more grown-up. I like all the Moons. But Marina just wsn't right for this song.
I agree. There seems to be such animosity towards Marina especially. I guess it's all a matter of opinion, but I think if someone with a proffessional theatre backround evaluated all of the Moons they'd all pass. They all had things that made them great. They wouldn't have been selected otherwise
Considering that there have been several of the performers who've played the other Sailor Senshi who had auditioned numerous times before getting their parts, I can just imagine how rigorous the audition process must have been for Usagi. Still wonder when they will start up the musicals again. I kinda miss seeing new live action Sailor Moon musicals.
also notice how much more Marina prances around the stage compared to Anza. Of course she's having a harder time hitting the notes, she has a complete dance routine to do with it.
I agree Anza did this song awesome. She is singing a song that the original did. She did good though. Her english is alot more clearer then Anza's though. I LOVE EM BOTH!!!
Personally I liked both versions I mean both of them sing differently so you can't really compare them. Anza's of course would be better though cause its the one we heard first and fits for her voice. But I still gotta give props to Marina for doing it and changeing it up a bit.
i agree, she did a good job but the song doesnt suit her voice like anzas does, just like anza wouldnt be able to sing tsukiiro no syndicate as well as marina since that song was made for her. Yay for Marina and Anza o^-^o
hey bastard miyuki died happy bitch i hope u burn in hell for all the bad things u EVER said about her and any of the other moons due to ur PATHETIC ANZA OBSESSION U EXTREME HOMO... GOD I HATE U SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
look ok i am only saying this because u have a sick obsession with anza that does damage to every sera-myu who doesn't support ur opinion(this goes to rosyfan2,in case u didn't know) either stop putting people down...or...deal with me and i like starting wars (i never lose!!!)
I thought Marina did a good job. Yes Anza was better with it, but you can't really compare the two. Their styles are completely different. I enjoyed the Black Lady K fan kan performance better than this one, and then there is the one where Anza and Marina sang together (well, mostly Anza)
her english is very good, but her voice is to cute for this song.
anza had something in her that made him ruogh that marina doesnt have. but i cant imagine fumina or miyuki doing it half as good as marina do it.
this dance need some dance lessons to do and fumina or miyuki cant dance very well and im not speaking about singing while you are dancing, so marina did a very good job, but anza did it better.
hmm, I agree, Marina can pronounce the wording so much better, but her voice sounds more like a one of those pop Princess's from children's shows... Yes, Sailor Moon was made for children with the English Anime, well, in my opinion anyway, but people of all ages watch it really.
Embarrassingly enough, my mother watches the Japanese anime with me and she is in her 40's.
back to the point, I prefer Anza playing Usagi as she brought out the childish and the emotional side to Usagi.
I think Anza is much better. Marina's voice is very annoying; it sounds like she's trying to be all cute. x.x Plus, she often does that weird fluctuating thing with her voice to hold the notes.
I like Anza's spirit when she was on stage. You can tell she really loved her job. x] I dunno what it is about Marina, but she just seems boring to me.
I wish people wouldn't bash Marina so good. She sang fine, but her voice doesn't project as well, that's all. Plus, her English is much better than Anza's - it's clear, and properly pronounced. =3 If she's not wearing the costume, then shoot, but remember - she only does what she's told to by the director. It wasn't like she chose not to have a snazzy costume. ^^;
Marina can sing, but you can tell that she kinda struggled and was out of breath when dancing at the same time, but hey! thats what you will expect from the character Usagi.
ANZA sung it better then Marina, but the problem with ANZA is that she is too prefect for Usagi. I mean after watching the Amine you wouldn't expect Usagi to be a great singer and can dance greatly at the same time?
Marina's a good singer, but her voice isn't able to project as much as Anza's was. Consequently, she can't sing this and dance at the same time, because just singing this song takes incredible amounts of energy. Like others have said, she's much better in the songs that were created for her musicals.
Anza's voice was much more powerful. Marina needs to expend a lot more energy to sing a song like this, and also needs to dance. I'm not saying she was as good as Anza, by any means, but hey -- I wouldn't even be close to Marina's level.
if i had never heard anza's version, i would've liked this better. however, marina is singing a song that is not meant her for voice at all. she is very genki, but her voice is much thinner and better suited for the songs made for her musicals than most of anza's or any other moon's songs. anza was incredibly talented and well trained, and her huskier voice was perfect for this song. that being said, WOW can that mercury dance!
I think this was pretty darn good, but like everyone says, it's not as awesome as Anza's (and I'm not saying this just to make sure no one spams me... <.<")
Yeah I guess. I do prefere anza's version to this, anza was wearing some snazzy outfit when she did this song though lol. Plus she had the sailor stars as her backstage dancers.

Don't think she butchered it, but the song doesn't suit her.
I've always thought this song was more an Anza song than a Sera Myu song. It was made for Anza's style.
Just like I think Anza wouldn't sound so good doing a song that is totally Marina, like Tsuki Iro no Syndicate.
I love Anza as a singer, but think that Marina's Usagi was more like anime Usagi. Love them both :D
