sailorfailures:PGSM Christmas Trivia! You may know that PGSM’s special Act Zero prequel takes place around Christmas, but did you remember that Act 12 - where Usagi and Minako first meet - took place around the same time, a year later?Usagi buys two slices of “Christmas cake” to share with Minako. In Japan, “Christmas cake” is typically understood to be a strawberry shortcake with fresh whipped cream, a popular dessert year-round but especially for parties and celebrations like Christmas. The girls share the cake slices while riding a ferris wheel, and bond over how they both like to save the strawberry for last.Did you also know that Minako’s actress, Ayaka Komatsu, actually had some difficulty shooting that scene because she hates whipped cream? Miyuu (Usagi) happily got to finish her slice in a behind-the-scenes shot while Ayaka looked on, aghast.But did you also know this was later made canonical for Minako as well? Minako’s song “さよなら～ｓｗｅｅｔ ｄａｙｓ” (“Farewell ~ Sweet Days”), which played in Act 47, includes the lyrics “少し苦手な生クリームも君の笑顔で食べさせられたね” (“Your smile even convinced me to eat the whipped cream I don’t really like”), implying that Minako - like Ayaka - only ate the cake in Act 12 for Usagi’s benefit. -- source link
