Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish, known for her bold style and iconic hits, took to her socials recently to share excitement over the release of a brand-new Sailor Moon artbook from Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of the original Sailor Moon franchise. Let’s take a closer look into this extraordinary collaboration.
Eilish’s Connection to Sailor Moon
Billie Eilish has shown time and again her admiration for Sailor Moon. She was a huge fan back during her childhood of the anime and manga series—the genre, which totally turned her on to her aesthetic and creative upheavals.
Her affinity with the series does not simply manifest through fandom but goes deeper into an artistic vision that harbors an idea brought out through Sailor Moon: themes of empowerment and individuality.
Artbook: A Celebration of Sailor Moon
A new artbook by Naoko Takeuchi, titled “Sailor Moon: Raisonné Art Works 1991-2023,” has been released. It features the biggest collection of 745 illustrations that span from the very beginning to the present day. This encyclopedic edition will finally provide 200 pages of color pages on Takeuchi’s artistic engagement with an icon of visuals and something dear to the eyes of all fan bases worldwide.
Billie Eilish’s Involvement
Although her endorsement and promotion did not add to the artwork itself, it opened it up to a different and new section of an audience: her fans who may or may not be familiar with Sailor Moon. Eilish’s posting about the artbook on social media helped bridge the gap between the music and anime world, attesting that Takeuchi’s work resonated across boundaries.
With Billie Eilish remaining a staunch ambassador of the artbook, fans can look forward to more and more collaborative works across different artistic fields.
