Looking up at the purple panorama of the galaxy highway...
...a shooting star pierces my heart.
My accelerating heartbeat is
synchronized with the sleepless city...
...and I suddenly pray for the unseen tomorrow...
...that brings that melody.
A mysterious voice won't let me go.
Oh, tell me seventh moon, this frustrated heart...
...where will you take me to?
To sway in the blue seventh moon...
...searching for the answer to the rhythm in this crazy dance.
In the year 2009, humanity encountered its first alien race.
The result was an intergalactic war with a militaristic race of giants called Zentraedi.
The Earth was thrown into what seemed a never-ending crisis.
In the year 2010, March, the war was brought to an end.
In April of the same year, the New Unity Government was established...
...calling together mankind and Zentraedi into peaceful co-existence.
This resulted in a mass micronization of the remaining Zentraedi via the "Micron Process."
In September of 2011, the Unity Government devised a colonization plan...
...centered upon the preservation of the human race.
In September of the next year, the first colonial transport...
...the Megaroad One began its journey.
In September of 2030, the first of the new Macross-class transports...
...a gigantic vessel dwarfing its Megaroad predecessor, departed Earth.
These ships could carry in excess of one million people.
In 2038, the 37th colonial expedition, the 7th Macross fleet, launched from Earth orbit.
Its destination -- the Galactic Core.
It is now 2045...
Spirit Girl
Tell me !
Why do you fly into combat and sing ? What's your purpose ?
It's not some twisted form of advertisement, is it ?
There are other ways to advertise, you know ?
Do you know what you're saying ?
What's that supposed to mean ?
Those motorcycles.
Yeah, I saw them, but I want to know why you do it ?
There's no point in singing when there's no audience.
You just don't get it, do you ?
Why do you have to be like that ?
I want you to tell me because I don't get it.
Just shut up. I sing when I want to.
What's with you ?! You're so selfish.
Why don't you explain why you do it ?
Why that little...
This is Michael. Miss Mylene is currently...
What is it ?
She's driving. Nekki Basara's with her.
They're being chased. It looks bad.
There is no sign of the vampires... I mean, enemy troops.
She doesn't seem to be in danger at this time.
Don't let your guard down. Watch them carefully.
Michael. Michael.
Understood. I'll make another report later.
Michael !
Johnny. Use your head.
There's no way I could report that she's being chased by a motorcycle gang.
I'm sorry. But I've lost sight of Miss Mylene's car.
What ?!
Did we lose them ?
Nope.
You think you're pretty clever, huh ?!
Did we do something ?
You're out of your league if you think you can lose us !
But...
But what ?
A couple of lovers fighting during a nice afternoon drive ?
We're not lovers fighting.
Why don't you say it out loud ?
Mumbling because you're scared ?
I'm not scared !
Right, kid.
You were probably asking him to buy something for you.
We were talking about music ! We're in a band.
A band !
No wonder you seem like such wimps !
Were you talking about singing lessons ?
Haven't you ever heard me sing ?
Nope ! Wouldn't want to either !
You should come listen to us sometime. We're called Fire Bomber.
Don't make me laugh ! What's that ?
This's where it's at !
That's not bad, but you should come hear us sometime.
You're pissing me off, you jerk !
What're you doing ?!
You sonuvabitch !
You're gonna get it !
Cut it out.
But, Rex, these guys...
Don't waste your time on a guy who likes little girls.
It's a good bike. A good rider could make it even better.
What was that ?!
Don't dis her. She'll mess up your pretty face.
Let's go.
They're not very cold. What would you like, Mylene ?
I'll take a beer !
No way. Here you go.
Okay.
We had to put off Mylene's welcoming party since we've been so busy with concerts.
Let's have a good time.
So, cheers, everyone.
Cheers !
You're the female vocalist, and important to this band. Can we count on you, Mylene ?
Yup !
I know it's sudden, but we've got a gig on the Three Star tomorrow.
The Three Star ? The manufacturing ship ?
The people working there are having a concert...
...and invited us to come as their guest performers.
Wow, guest performers ! Cool !
Apparently, they saw Basara on the Galaxy Network and got interested.
So the advertising paid off, huh ?
This is a really big shuttle !
Yeah. I rented it.
What ? Fire Bomber did ?
Yeah.
Can we afford it ?
We're getting paid for this gig. Don't worry.
Wow !
We'd better be careful, though.
If we damage it, we'll have to pay for repairs. That'll make the rental look like small change.
Don't worry. Right, Basara ?
There are now 35 victims who have been assaulted by the unknown suspects.
The investigation continues, but there have been no clues as of yet.
It is recommended that no one walk alone at night...
It's gotten to be a dangerous town.
It must be the same ones that attacked me !
Citizens are being...
The enemy fighters appear to be of the type...
...sent to investigate the 4th planet in the Varauta system.
But due to extensive modifications, we cannot say for sure.
It's possible that an alien race got their hands on the Valkyries.
But why would they use them to infiltrate City 7 ?
We must find out why they are attacking us.
We have made preparations to send a special investigative unit.
Captain Max, have you made contact with Earth ?
I have.
And the response ?
They said to take care of it on our own.
How irresponsible !
What do we tell the citizens ?
We'd better keep it secret for now.
Telling them would only send them into a panic.
I doubt if that will satisfy Mayor Miria.
We could spend years in meetings like this and never come to a conclusion.
Commander.
Wasn't that Mayor Miria ?
Yes. She was also my flight instructor.
What's this ?
That's...
Well, she's cute.
Isn't this the Mayor's youngest daughter ?
Yes. Her name's Mylene. She's only fourteen.
It doesn't mean anything. She's not my type anyway.
Why not ?
It's the Mayor's daughter. Why don't you see her ?
I'll think about it.
How much longer ?
No more than 10 minutes.
Watch out !
It's the bikers from yesterday !
How annoying.
I suppose they think they're honing their driving techniques...
...but they're going to get themselves killed one of these days.
What's up ?
Basara ?
Rex !
Who is that ?
It's the guy from yesterday.
Is he challenging us ?
Jerk ! Who does he think he is ?
He can only lick the bottom of our tires !
What's he doing ?
What's the point ?
That wasn't even a challenge.
He must've gotten scared.
We're going to the concert.
That guy's concert...
Let's get started, it's Saturday night. How're you guys doing ?
Let's stand up, do you feel the beat ?
This is a flying paradise. A forgotten energy...
Now hurry up and take it back.
No more wastin' time.
Before everything fades away like a dream.
Hey, everybody ! Aim at the light.
Let's dance. Dancing on the planet dance.
Hey, everybody !
Arigato !
Thank you !
The audience is a lot smaller than I thought.
The size of the audience doesn't matter, as...
"As long as they came to hear us, we'll sing with all we've got," right ?
Stop it ! Stop your singing party !
You're all soft from spending too much time in lukewarm water !
Why don't you go home and practice singing with the other kids !
You can complain if you like, but only after you've listened to us sing.
It'll drive your heart wild.
Oh yeah ?!
Yeah, listen first !
Man, these guys are wimps ! One shot and they're scared !
What happened to all that spirit you had a minute ago ?!
If you want us to leave, why don't you ask ?!
People who're into music are all cowards !
We ride on the edge of life and death.
We live and die for the moment.
That's the Rex Gang !
So, do you feel like listening to my song ?
Damn you ! What do you think you're...
Rex !
Buddy, can you put your life on the line for singing ?
What's...what's going on ?! An enemy attack ?!
Captain Max, please report to bridge.
Valkyrie units Green and Blue please stand by.
Yellow and Purple Units, please launch.
Please contact Lt. Kinryu immediately.
They're here !
He ran away !
Now I'll let you listen to my song !
Basara ?
That's him ?
What's he gonna do ?
He didn't run away...
Let's go !
Let's go and run into the morning glow, that we once dreamed of.
It's still far away though...
Maybe, it'll be alright if... we keep our love all the time.
If you listen to my song...
That was the hangar !
...it's so easy to...
Let's get to the shelter !
Yeah.
...cross a heart with another.
My heart of love soars into the night sky, carrying my burning emotions.
Is that really him up there ?
Keep shooting down sadness and anger.
A heart of love is inside you too. Face your destiny.
It can go billions of light years ahead. My charging heart of love.
Is he doing all that just to sing ?
Putting his life on the line ?
Let's dance. The stars are also singing. That can last even longer...
...when I wave my wings, so rock with me.
Baby, I'll do it somehow, so don't let go.
That guy...
Listen to my song, and...
Run, Colette !
Basara, slider number 52.
What, 52 ?
Bastard !
Rex !
Stop it !
Dammit. I fired twice.
Are you all right ?
Yeah, somehow.
How about you ?
You're hurt.
It's just a scratch.
That's good, but...
I've got to hand it to you.
Did my song get through to you at all ?
No. Only that you take your singing that seriously.
I see.
Don't be so disappointed.
That's thanks for rescuing me.
See ya.
Bye. Next time, come listen to us play.
I can't promise.
All right, let's get going !
Oh, man.
Hey, Ray ! What's with the missiles ?!
Huh ?
The missiles !
Oh, those. I got them through military channels.
That's not what I mean ! Why were they loaded onto my Valkyrie ?!
Because they fit.
What ?
It doesn't matter. We can't fit the Valkyrie in here. You'll have to fly it back to City 7.
Ray !
Can you do it with that arm ?
Damn it ! Of course I can !
What the...?
I'll pilot it for you.
Why ?
Your arm's hurt, isn't it ?
Can you operate this ?
Who do you think I am ?
But do you know how ?
Sure.
But why did you modify it like this, anyway ?
How do you know how to operate one of these ?
My dad and mom used to be ace pilots.
Hey, Guvava seems unhappy.
Our voices synchronize just like falling in love and kissing.
What's the point of singing as you're flying ?
Don't you sing when you feel like it ?
My heart is always here for you.
But, oh ! I wonder what your shining eyes are searching for ?
