So tonight I was working on the next scene in DW-S, and by a long convoluted set of steps that started with me on Wolfram Alpha looking up the weather in Tokyo at 6:30 PM on May 27, 1992 and ended with me in Google Earth putting pins in DW-S locations, I found myself back at the building known today as "Joule A", which is on the site of the former "Jewel A", the real-world counterpart to the Osa-P Jewelry Store owned by Naru's mother. Google Maps used to have a walk-through of the building, mostly taking you through the offices of some kind of golf training/simulator outfit.
That's no longer there.
What is there now is a Sailor Moon-themed dinner theater, called "Shining Moon Tokyo".
I kid you not.
Well, "dinner theater" is probably the wrong term. It's more like those "meal and a show" places in theme parks. But by god, it's Sailor Moon action at a genuine Sailor Moon location:
And judging by this video, it's a whole hell of a lot better-done than that pathetic Sera Myu that was on Broadway for a few weeks last year.
The only bad part about this is because of the COVID-19 emergency, it went out of business about seven weeks ago, not quite a year after it opened in August 2019. They're holding out hope that they might reopen after the virus abates, but... <shrug>
