The cast of Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon -Amour Eternal-, except Kanda, appeared in a one-hour Sailor Moon musical performance at Houston's Anime Matsuri on April 7. The cast also hosted Q&A and autograph sessions and participated in a tea party during the convention.

The Inner Guardian cast for -Amour Eternal- replaced the main cast from Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon -Un Nouveau Voyage-, the third new stage play celebrating the manga's 20th anniversary. The former cast graduated after the third musical finished its run in 2015.
