"Transylvania no Mori" (TnM) must be one of my favorites of all Seramyu shows. As a sequel of the Jyokyoku (prologue), TnM introduces more characters with more in-depth portrait of the three parties involved, namely the Dracula Family, the "Fallen Angels" and the Sailor Senshi.

The story began with the monologue of men destroying forests, which is the tension between the three forces of claiming who should be the "right owner" of the earth. The notion of environmental protection in the whole series is mild, only with occasional mentions from Mandrake. 【SeraMyu之地】美少女战士音乐剧主题论坛2 j& }# K) |0 t! [' N

Nao, as one of the longest performer of the musicals, is second to Miyuki, claims her position as the "Onee-san" or the "leader" of everybody else, with her statement strong and determined. Who comes next is Mars (Eri), who gives a different judgement of what appeared to be true; Dracula was actually helping Moon as he died, giving the hint to the audience that the Vampires might not be an enemy after all.

Vampiru's "Image De Mon Pere", one of the most touching and emotional songs of all the "dark forces", proclaims that even life that has been "forgotten" or "abandoned" by their family for such a long time still feels what is called "solitude". Vampiru still understand what is "love" and wants to bear this loneliness by herself. To her, Dracula was not only a father, but also a mystery, something she doesn't know, something called "reunion", something called "family". Even though she has an endless life, part of her is still not completed without the true experience of motherly love, of which she could never have because her human mother died of child birth.【SeraMyu之地】美少女战士音乐剧主题论坛9 @0 ?'

On the contrary, Vampiru is more confused about her own identity than who killed her father. Her declaration "I, am NOT a monster", paves the search of her own position on Earth throughout the series. She does not claim to be on any of the three sides but is the representative of all of them,

The Duke came interested in the cure of "heartache" by Mandrake, as he recalls his lover Joan, who was killed innocent and sacrificed herself for the better of the world. Here we have a slight peek into the deepest emotions of the "fallen angels". Previously we did not know they could understand "love" as they seemed to be evil and cold.

The scene appeared to be an oxymoron of Astarte's "leading" position but actually she was just a puppet being used by Lilith.

Meanwhile, Vampir and Lefay have arrived at the Dracula's mention in Japan, where the wedding dress of Vampir's mother is displayed. Vampir, a motherly-love-sick child, seems to sense the aura of her deceased mother.

On the contrary, Vampir does not acknowledge this "step-mother" who claims to be sent from her vanished father. The emptiness of her heart cannot be easily substituted by any one who comes by the same name of her mother. Vampir who always blames her father for not turning her mother into an undead being before her death, does not understand the true darkness of living forever.

Quoting from Dracula "No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and how dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.", Vampir still doesn't know what is called true solitude as she hasn't seen "dawn".

Vampir again reminds Lefay that she is not her true mother and reprimands her not to pretend one either. Lefay on the other hand, says that "I cannot lose" you. We wonder if the reason she says this because of Dracula who commanded her to take care of Vampir, or if it is out of her own desire to protect Vampir?

Lilith's capture of the Sailor Senshi comes to the convenience of Vampir, who arrives just in time to collect her "trophies" - Rei, Makoto and Haruka. Meanwhile, the Megaimi Astarte is awaken as Shiba uses up her power to free Usagi from the spell.

Elizabeth, perhaps, is the person who speaks of the "truth" of the "fallen angels". The undead beings are being deprived of the last luxury of a "living thing" - DEATH. They have to right to choose to leave this world, they have no choice, they must live one and endure this never-ending suffering in darkness, with solitude. They live in the prison of their lives, a cell with thousand years of emptiness." O- Y1 L2 p2 \, _; p

Vampir, on the contrary to Elizabeth, is not condemned with eternal life because of her wrongdoings, but because she is a cursed child between a Vampir and a human female. Vampir is pure in heart, she has not sinned and she still bears the hope to be loved and to love.seramyu,seramyu之地,美少女战士,美少女战士音乐剧,美少女战士舞台剧,ミュージカル美少女戦士セーラームーン,Musical Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon,大山アンザ,神戸みゆき,黒木マリナ,高木ナオ,穂坂優子,笠原竜司,望月祐多! g8 U* t! l% T$ h

Yuka embraces more than just Haruka, but also keeps up with Haruka silently by her side, providing all the gentleness and compassion for Haruka to keep running, and to fight on.7 @( i8 O y" f' }

At Lefay's death, she finally understands the love of Dracula for his wife and daughter. Finally, Lefay turns of love Vampir and Dracula from her own heart, but not by revengefulness or command from her master. She apologizes that she couldn't offer the true motherly love for Vampir, and could become her mother. At the sight of Lefay's death, Vampir also starts to understand the love sent so remotely from her father and how hard Lefay had worked to gain her confidence. The reconciliation between time comes too late, but still in time to get a glimpse of what is true "love".【SeraMyu之地】美少女战士音乐剧主题论坛 O) G# D# {9 K9 p" A

Moon concludes (as usual) that, "nightmare" or "horror" are not created by monsters but are from our own weakness. If we keep a true heart of love, confidence and faith, nothing can scare us, and nothing can pull us into the darkness. With our friends and everyone around us, we are never alone, and we will never lose to the dark forces because we are always together, heart-to-heart as one.

"Transylvania" is not only a place where the three forces combat with each other, but also the place for reconciliation. Even though the shades of the trees over up the land and turns the forest into a dark and lonely place, the trees also symbolize "growth" and "life", that's why we have Mandrake in the series.3 G2 b! }' j+ U6 U. r

TnM started with the search of identity and specific nemesis of the characters. The characters never know that at the end of this search, what is waiting for them is "death". "Death" to common sense is a very remote and horrific word, but to these undead beings, "death" has been a luxury to them, and their only "hope".

TnM is the story of letting go, and understanding the background and position of the characters, while the following sequel is more on the notion of "reconciliation". TnM is to "induce" emotions into the hard and cold characters from the Prologue so that the audience can understand that "love" is what brings everyone together on Earth. |
