Thanks George Hong!
Artist: Michael Bell-Smith

In 2006 he created an art video loop of landscapes from various downloaded video games. The piece featured the landscapes layered into one continuous upward-scrolling piece of scenery. It was called 'Up and Away' and featured two shots from the game 'Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou! Shuyaku Soudatsusen.'

The game was released in 1994, published and developed by Angel, and ran on the Super Nintendo game system. The two shots used were of the day and nighttime Crystal Tokyo backdrops. The whole video lasts 06:40 minutes however, as the phrase art video loop would suggest, the landscapes loop around a few times before the end.

The video has been shown in several galleries and discussed in several articles (known of which, that I know of, pointed out the Sailor Moon references). A frame from the video loop showing the nighttime Crystal Tokyo backdrop (3rd pic, bottom image) is often used to represent the video in articles.

Watch it here. Thanks NameGoesHere and Novadestin!

Thanks Yatenkaiouh!
Four flowers are named after Sailor Moon. By date of their naming: CM-1975-1 Slc. Gemstone "Sailor Moon" (pink orchid), Cymbidium MK1240(1) Happy Valley "Sailor Moon" (yellow orchid), Sailor Moon Carnations (Yellow or Orange), and the Sailor Moon Sunflower.

The Sophrolaeliocattleya Gemstone 'Sailor Moon' is a hybrid orchid, the result of a cross between Sophrocattleya Batemanniana 'Bette' and Sophrolaeliocattleya Phillip Ho 'Alisa' (first two pics in that order). It was registered by the Orchid Resort Dogashima, a famous Japanese Orchid Resort and Academy in Shizukoka, in 1993. In an e-mail from a Mr. Sato at the resort, he said that the meaning of gemstone was “Gem” that is shining and beautiful, and not shaped like a stone. They had hoped that in the future that this orchid would grow to be a lot more beautiful and that this variety could be used to create more hybrids. He also said that Sailor Moon was the most popular animation in Japan at the time back in 1993. She was a very cute character and they thought that this orchid's image was just the same! Unfortunately, the orchid couldn’t make good hybrids, and the orchid is no longer being propagated or sold.

The Happy Valley Sailor Moon Orchid is sometimes labeled as the 'Happy Barry Sailor Moon Orchid" but this is a miss pronunciation. Moon Chase offers a complete explanation on their site here but I also included a picture just in case the page ever goes down (basically it's people reading it how it's spelled out rather than reading what it really stands for which causes the confusion). This hybrid flower comes from the Genus Cymbidium, which has around 50 species of orchids with a distinct form to the base of the orchid's lips (the center of the orchid). This orchid was named for Sailor Moon because its yellow color reminded the scientist (Shigeru Makoto Kono) of her hair. The species was officially registered October 9th, 1997 and the registration will expire in 15 years. This flower has also been incorporated into Sailor Moon artwork by Naoko.

The Sailor Moon Carnation is naturally yellow, but the orange "mutant" is just as popular. This is a very popular carnation, especially when it is given on Mother's Day. The INGU Sailor Moon Carnations were conjured by Inagaki Chotaro and were registered on June 8th, 1998 and will also expire in 15 years from that date.

The Sailor Moon Sunflower, named on July 27th, 2004 (it also blooms in July), is a hybrid of the Helianthus Genus of sunflowers. It is grown in the Barbecue Sunflower Garden in the Showa Memorial Park in Japan and is a very popular flower. The park says that the sunflower is unusual because of its yellow-green color and the low height makes it lovely. The flower was named after Sailor Moon for two reasons: the first being that sunflowers are popular among children in Japan and so if they named the flower after a popular character it would attract more children to come to the park, the second is that the pale color of the flower reminds the observer of the moon.

Pictures: Sophrocattleya Batemanniana 'Bette', Sophrolaeliocattleya Phillip Ho 'Alisa', Sophrolaeliocattleya Gemstone 'Sailor Moon', Orchid Resort Dogashima Frontpage, Happy Valley Sailor Moon Orchid, Moon Chase explanation, 2 pieces of artwork by Naoko which contain the Happy Valley Sailor Moon Orchid, Linear notes for those images, Sailor Moon Carnation Yellow, Sailor Moon Carnation Orange, several pics of the Sailor Moon Sunflower cause there all too pretty to pick just one!

Thanks Genvid, Moon Chase, and Project WikiMoon!
Place: Ten Thousand Waves near Santa Fe, New Mexico

"Ten Thousand Waves is a unique mountain spa resort near Santa Fe, New Mexico that feels like a Japanese onsen. We're primarily a large, beautiful day spa, but for those who plan ahead, we're the best destination spa they've ever experienced. Just a short walk through the trees from the baths and treatment areas are thirteen hotel suites."

This spa features a suite called "Sailor Moon." The text about the room says "Our high-tech room will appeal to the modernists and techies. One of our newest rooms." The room itself has little to do with Sailor Moon other than the name and a few images used on the site. However the name goes along with the other rooms all having a 'moon' name, examples: Silver Moon, Blue Moon, Moonlet (see all the room names in the last picture). There is also a Luna and a Tsuki room, however the pages for these rooms don't have any Sailor Moon references on them so its safe to assume that their names are solely due to the whole 'moon' naming theme.

The room features a queen-size bed, daybed with twinkling starfield, high-ceilinged bathroom with spacious two-person shower, 30" flat-panel TV with PlayStation 2, wireless high-speed Internet, gas fireplace, and all the electronics are controlled by a wireless remote. The rates are: Sunday - Thursday (low season): $219 per night, Friday, Saturday, Holidays, and High Season: $259 per night, Additional Guests: $40 per person per night. Rates are for single or double occupancy and high season is May 1-October 31.

See it here! Thanks Mercurius!
