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 that same year, the New Unity Government was established...
...bringing together mankind and the 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 from 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...
SPEAKER POD
Is everything all right ? He hasn't come yet.
It's time. Let's start.
When are they going to start singing ?
I can't relate to this music.
If I knew she was going to do this, I wouldn't have had her take piano lessons.
What should we do ? If we just keep playing like this, the audience is going to be upset.
I don't think so.
He's so irresponsible.
I don't think so.
Mylene's really high-strung...
Oh, she'll get used to it.
Basara !
What were you doing ?
Sorry I kept you waiting.
Don't give me that ! You're really late !
What's with you ?!
Here we go !
Let's get started, it's Saturday Night. How're you guys doin' ?
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 it fades away like a dream.
Hey, everybody ! Aim at the light.
Let's dance. Dancin' on the planet dance.
Hey, everybody ! Straight from your heart...
It's me.
Captain Max ! We've received an SOS from the advanced guard !
What ?
At 1624, an unidentified force launched a surprise attack.
How many bogies ?
I'm not sure.
Get confirmation quickly ! I want all fighters on standby, ready for launch !
Put Diamond Force on standby ! I'm on my way !
Let's hear it for our new member, Mylene !
I missed her solo.
Our voices synchronize just like falling in love and kissing.
My heart...
Any word from Boroughneize ?
Nothing.
We may have to "shell-down". I want it readied.
Yes, sir !
But, oh ! I wonder what your shining eyes are searching for ?
Oh, my friends !
Captain on the bridge.
Captain, we made contact with Boroughneize. Nine enemy craft confirmed.
Nine ?!
They've put the advanced guard in chaos.
Captain, they're breaking through the first line of defense.
Launch fighters !
Yes, sir !
Diamond Force catapult standby !
To Angel leader; enemy fighters confirmed...
Gamlin, this is our first dogfight ! Let's show 'em what we've got !
This isn't an exercise.
You know that...
...the military has invested a lot of money in us.
Battle suits, weapons, special training...
...even all the food we've eaten and the beds we sleep in.
Keep that in mind, Gamlin and Docker. Don't rush into anything.
If you do, you'll crash and burn in vain.
You're not only responsible for yourself...
...but for the honor of Diamond Force.
Roger.
When we look at each other...
What's that ?
This is D1. The enemy's...
Answer me. Are you all right ?
What happened ? What are you doing ?
What's going on ?
Report !
He's lost consciousness.
No, he's conscious, but...
What ?!
Lately, it makes me nervous when he looks far away.
Oh, my friends !
With a map in my hand...
What ?
Purity 65. Strong Spiritia.
He's fast.
Get me a situation report now ! I want all units to report in !
Angel 03, no response.
Channel switch to link mode !
Shibacris, secondary lines are on standby.
Captain, what's... What is that weapon ?!
Don't take your eyes off that monitor !
Yes, sir !
I've never seen it before.
Switch voice channel to "E".
Only their leader is fast !
Got 'em !
Docker, don't drop your guard ! 04 down CBC !
You're not getting away !
72, not bad.
Docker !
Captain ! They've broken through the first line and are headed for the ship !
Don't take your eyes off that monitor !
Yes, sir !
Shell-down !
What about the Mayor ?!
I'll talk to her later.
You can't get away !
You're all too excited. Our gig has just started !
He's so full of it.
Now we're really gonna rock this place ! Let's go !
Captain, the Mayor's on the hotline.
Don't take your eyes off that monitor !
This is Max.
No, that's...
What did you say ?!
Don't worry about it. I'll explain later.
Who said shell-off ?! I said shell-down !
Yes !
Understood !
Don't take your eyes off that monitor ! Now, "shell-on" and "shell-down"!
It's their first time, so you can't demand too much from them.
Right.
Whatever we decide, it's too late.
Katasumi Park !
What's that ?
What's going on ?
Are you hurt ?
I'm all right. What in the world's happening ?
I don't know. But that light came from one of our fighters.
Looks like they're in the middle of a battle.
Battle...
Yeah. That's probably why the shell turned off.
Is this the beginning of a war ?
I don't know. But it looks like the end of our gig.
Are you all right ?
Yeah. You can let me go now.
Ray, we're going to the shelter !
Okay !
Basara !
Battle...
What's going on ?
I don't know. Veffidas seems to be enjoying it.
Oh, well. Let's play !
Let's go !
Hey, Basara ! What are you going to do ?
I'm going out for a while !
Jeez, talk about selfish. Will you knock...
I've been waiting for this moment.
The purity is coming up.
Gamlin !
That's good. Keep rising !
What the...?
Picking up an unidentified fighter !
No identification signal.
Try to make contact !
I can hear you.
Laser channel 24 !
Nekki Basara.
What're you doin' ?
I'm trying to "jack" into the military radio bands.
What ?
Can you do that ?!
If you know how.
I thought so...
What's that ?
That's Basara.
Don't you hear me ?! Get out of there !
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Who is that idiot ?!
What's going on ? The instruments are malfunctioning !
Unbelievable...
W...what on Earth...?!
Speaker pods.
Let's do it !
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...
Continue the operation.
...it's so easy to...
...cross a heart with another.
My heart of love soars into the night sky, carrying my burning emotions.
Keep shooting down sadness and anger.
That's sick.
A heart of love is inside you too. Face your destiny.
Knock it off !
You're interfering in a military operation !
Get out of here immediately or I'll shoot you !
It can go billions of light years ahead. My charging heart of love.
Is he trying to follow in the footsteps of Linn Minmei ?
Maybe.
The same Linn Minmei from the movie ? [Do You Remember Love?]
What ?
She's responsible for ending the war 35 years ago.
Oh, yeah ! I saw it, too !
...rock with me.
It's me, Ray Lovelock.
Baby, I'll do it somehow, so don't let go.
Can you broadcast this on the Galaxy Network ? Right.
What's causing the gauges to read wrong ?
My heart of love soars into tomorrow, leaving a glowing red trail.
Scatter the excitement and smile.
Primary operation complete. Return to base !
A heart of love is inside everyone.
Wait a minute ! It's not over yet !
Growing emotions are aerodynamic. My charging heart of love.
What happened ?
Enemy craft retreating towards S1150 at 4300. Can be pursued by Diamond Force.
Secure from battle stations !
I want all survivors picked up and all ships to return immediately !
Roger !
You don't want to listen to my song ?!
Gimme a break.
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.
Docker, hang on ! Docker !
Let's go back !
If you listen to my song...
...it's so easy to...
...cross a heart with another.
My heart of love soars into the night sky, carrying my burning emotions.
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.

Mylene, don't barge into a guy's room so early in the morning.
Don't involve me in a mother and daughter fight.
I didn't come here to ask you for your help. Ray's gone somewhere.
My heart is burning.
Next time...
