The score is composed by Pinar Toprak, who originally composed the score of another movie with a female protagonist, Captain Marvel. Takanori Arisawa's soundtrack from the original anime and Yasuharu Takanashi's soundtrack from Crystal are integrated into the score.

Trivia

 * Tran plans that the Sailor Senshi would be portrayed by unknown teens of Japanese ethnicity who are fans of the original anime to avoid whitewashing.
 * This is the second live-action adaptation of Sailor Moon following the 2003 TV series. Unlike the series, which only adapted the first arc, the movie plans to spawn sequels, each adapting the manga's next arc.
