While we wait for Season 4 of Sailor Moon Crystal, Japan’s official Sailor Moon fan club is expanding its reach around the globe for the first time. Starting Sept. 23, the Pretty Guardians club will open registration for new members from the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and more countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Pretty Guardians will receive some cool bonus gifts for joining, along with access to exclusive information and merchandise throughout the membership year.
UPDATE: All that moon power brought down Tokyo Otaku Mode's website! After about two hours of server struggles between 9 and 11 p.m. EDT, reps with the site announced via Twitter that registration will reopen at a later date (to be announced) when they can better cope with the unexpectedly high levels of demand. Those who already signed up for notifications will receive emails with relevant information. You can sign up via this page (once it's back online) to recieve future Pretty Guardians registration emails.
SM Fanclub Announcement: We will be closing the registration page for now, and start again at a later date so everyone gets a fair restart!

Sailor Moon Fan Club Registration Dates and Bonuses
Enrollment is open from Sept. 23 to Oct. 22. A fee of $58 USD gets you a membership card, a cute lip gloss pot in the shape of Sailor Moon’s transformation brooch (the first one), along with access to exclusive content on the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon app. Membership lasts one year.
Club members will also be able to purchase member-only merchandise. If you’re the type that lurks on Amazon wishing you could spend an eye-watering sum of money on imported Sailor Moon nicknacks, this might be right up your alley. Ever wanted a Princess Serenity nightie? It could be yours! Check out the goodies below.
According to Geek, additional overseas member perks are still being finalized, but Japan’s current members get podcasts, free art prints and access to a secret Premium Bandai site for even more exclusive collectibles. (Update 9/23: the Premium Bandai site will NOT be accessible to overseas members.
