As we all know, Koodoneemu wa Seeraa V was only the start of Minako's fame as the soldier of love and justice. She has also made appearances in various versions of Bishoujo Senshi Seeraamuun. Faces takes an indepth look at her roles in these stories.
Pretty Guardian Sailormoon ~ live action series
It turns out that Aino, Minako is a popular idol singer in this version as opposed to it being her dream to become an idol in the anime and manga. She sings the song C'est la Vie on her latest album "Venus." It's an obvious hint as to her identity as Sailor V, though no one seemed to put this together. Luna started suspecting that Sailor V could be the princess they were in seach of because of the crescent moon on her forehead. As of yet, Luna has not been able to catch her and discover the truth. Sailor V appears to Sailor Moon, who was chasing after Tuxedo Mask, and warns her not to chase him as he is dangerous, the enemy. Sailor Moon cannot help the feelings in her heart and cannot give him up. Appearing to Sailor Moon once again, Sailor V frets that the past is doomed to repeat itself.
Sailor V appeared to the Sailor Soldiers and revealed herself as Sailor Venus and the princess. She is accompanied by a stuffed cat that can walk and talk named Artemis. The two have not joined the Sailor Soldiers, but instead seem to have plans of their own. Minako has finally revealed herself (to Sailor Mars at least) as Sailor Venus.
*More story to come as more episodes air!
There is a lot to still be learned about the live action series version of Sailor V as episodes are still airing on Japanese TV. There are some things that can be documented at this time which I will list here. This version of V is definitely much closer to her manga counterpart than the anime. She is a mysterious figure fighting crime who catches the attention of the news reporters. The opening scene of the series shows Sailor V heroicly stopping Tuxedo Mask from stealing jewels.
