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.
Hey, what did Ray do before ?
He was a pilot... an elite forces pilot.
That won't be necessary ! Just give us a bit more time !
Compared to how good I used to be, he's still got a ways to go.
This is Ray Lovelock. How's the maintenance on the VF-19 going ?
I was Stephan's girlfriend.
Why do you always pull stunts like this ?
I told you I'd go and get it !
I got the lead role ! The lead role !
To get the lead role for the debut TV broadcast all of a sudden...
...it's like a dream !
The Linn Minmei Story TV Special.
Oh, hush.
Come on, I'm Linn Minmei.
Good for you.
What's with your attitude ? Is it so wrong for you to be happy for me ?
Whether or not I'm happy is up to me.
What's wrong with you ? This is Fire Bomber's first big break !
And you're taking this disinterested attitude from the start !
Be quiet. That's not what I said.
Then why don't you be sincere about it and be happy ?
Our songs are going to be playing on TV.
Right ?
Uh, right.
See ?
I already knew that.
Minmei Video
I get it, Basara !
What is it ?
What is it now ?
Man...
You're embarrassed...
To play the role of Ichijo Hikaru, you have to be sensitive.
The total opposite of you...
You're afraid you won't be able to do it.
What are you talking about ?
I knew it !
Sure enough, you're all anxious.
You must have a fever or something.
Watch your step at the end.
All the same, you want to do this, right ?
Ichijo Hikaru.
I never said I wanted to do this.
But usually, you're even more disinterested, and you'd say, "I won't do it," or "stop it."
You really want to do it, right...
...Hikaru ?
Dammit, I can't take you anywhere.
What's that supposed to mean ? Are you implying something ?! What is it ?!
A child like you wouldn't understand.
What ?!
You're even more of a child... always talking without thinking !
Be careful, now.
I have been selected to play the role of the Zentraedi warrior Breetai. I'm Suren Langu.
I've been chosen to play Kamujin. I'm Rolei Shuman.
I'm the leader of Fire Bomber, Ray Lovelock. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you as well.
I have been selected to play the role of the Zentraedi warrior Breetai. I'm Suren Langu.
I've been chosen to play Kamujin...
Man, was I scared. I wonder if my mom used to be that big, too.
That's right... She is a Meltrandi.
That must mean, you have the blood of giants running through your veins.
To the staff participating in the Linn Minmei Story, good work.
I'm the producer, Jakal Chan.
Please let me explain to you my vision for this video.
But before that, let me introduce our special guests.
Mayor Miria.
Good morning, everyone.
Mom, what are you doing here ?
I'm going to be working on this too. You didn't know that ?
...Miria was known as an ace among the Meltrandi.
Her dog-fighting genius met its match in Macross 7's Captain, Maximilian Jenius.
The main feature of this video is the historical idol singer, Linn Minmei.
With her song, she was able to win the war...
...and end the fighting between the forces of Earth and the Zentraedi soldiers.
We also would like to add, as a sub-story, the tale of Maximilian Jenius and Miria Farina...
...as a documentary.
So Dad's going to be working on this video, too ?
That's the way it worked out.
Dad ?
Our other special guest, Captain Maximilian, has arrived.
Everyone, thank you.
Basara !
This is a recruitment video for the Unified Forces and the City Offices.
Well, the only accurate parts are about Mom and Dad.
I'm going to withdraw.
Why ? We're the leads !
That's not the point.
Then what is the point ?
You wouldn't understand.
Why not ? Are you going to say that a child like me wouldn't understand again ?
Wait a sec.
Regardless of the whole lead role thing, this is still a big opportunity for Fire Bomber.
We'll be able to let everyone hear how we sound.
Ray...
You knew about this from the start, right ?
No.
Well, it doesn't matter. I don't want anything to do with this.
Basara, are you really quitting ?!
Basara !
It's hard playing the part of a circus geek.
Here's an itemized list of complaints the City Office drew up.
The residents of Macross 7 fear for their lives when they walk the streets.
We can't capture even one of the abductors. We don't have a cure for the victims.
What the hell is the military doing ?
Don't blame me.
We haven't confirmed anything yet.
We only know that the enemy's machines...
...seem to be of the type sent to the 4th planet in the Varauta 3198XE System.
That's all you know ?
Do you even know the reasons why I agreed to do this video ?
I do know. They're the same reasons I'm doing it.
It's a complicated balancing act.
To satisfy the Military and the City Office's agenda, using our legendary story...
I opposed it, too.
They'll still have complaints for the Military and the City Office.
Macross 7's citizens aren't stupid.
That's true. Miria...
...I have a bad feeling about this.
As if something unexpected is going to happen.
This is surprising. These people have the ability to increase their Spiritia level.
The time to carry out the Spiritia Farm Project is approaching.
The Unified Forces were involved in a desperate fight with the Zentraedi forces.
In particular, with an ace named Miria.
Hey, that's you, Mom. Was that when you were a giant ?
Uh...yes.
Say, why did you become a micron ?
Were you totally gaga over Dad ?
I wonder myself.
But you haven't changed one bit.
"Haven't changed ?"
You haven't aged any.
Thank you.
You dropped seven kids...
...you must be a monster.
Why would Dad break up with a beauty like you ?
Mylene ! We haven't broken up.
What ? But I was there when...
Listen here.
Both your father and I are very busy with a lot of things.
So it's still a secret from everyone else. Understood ?
I get it, I get it.
I get it already !
What ?
Would you stop putting on an act, then ?
This and that are two different things.
No fair !
Thank you very much.
Mylene.
Bobby ?
Do you want to go out for cake or something ?
I was picked for the role of Ichijo Hikaru all of a sudden, right ?
So, I'm a bit behind...
But...
Basara just up and decided to quit, right ?
I'll bet he was planning to quit right from the start.
Anyway, the part was mine for the taking, so I took it.
Thank you so much.
Now I'll have to do my best. Don't you think so ?
It's still open, isn't it ?
I'm going out for cake with the young lady, so bring the car around.
Right away.
What's going on, Mylene ?
Bobby says he wants to go out for cake.
You know, to talk about business. I won't keep her out too late.
On the way back, I'll bring her back to the manager.
Let's go, Minmei.
You guys still haven't been on TV yet ? This will be your first time ?
Yes.
In that case, I'll introduce you to a lot of music producers.
O...okay.
Wait...was this the way ?
Well, let's drive around a bit.
We can eat cake in the car too.
Man, that Ray...
Always bugging me for favors.
I'm not Mylene's babysitter.
Just where do you expect to eat cake ?
I know a good place.
I don't think it's such a "good place."
What's wrong ? You shouldn't look so mad.
Once you become famous, you'll never know when a photographer is taking your picture...
...so you can't look mad like that.
Don't worry... This is how I always look.
But you do want to become famous, right ?
Where we're going, there are a lot of entertainment people...
You'll be famous in no time.
Is that what it means to be famous ?
I don't wanna get violent.
What hotel does that bastard usually use ?!
Th...the Plito Hotel.
Okay, we're here.
Shall we have some cake ?
Thank you very much. I had a lovely time.
Wait a sec. What are you talking about ?
The fun has yet to begin.
I've had enough ! Let go of my arm !
You aren't going to be a child forever.
I hate being called a child !
I love stuff like this.
What do you think you're doing ?!
Having some cake.
Spiritia level 55.
Who the hell are you ?
A vampire !
Bobby !
Wait...wait a sec !
Get in !
Bobby is...
What ?
Get out of my way !
Basara, hurry up !
Shut up !
Dammit ! Always causing me trouble...
Basara...
In the middle of the night, there are all sorts of bloodsuckers running around.
Be careful !
What ? Ichijo Hikaru quit ?
It turns out Bobby won't be able to do it.
There's no one else.
So I get stuck with it ?
That's pretty much it. It has to be you.
You want me to be a recruiter for the military ?!
Hear me out.
It may be Captain Max's or Mayor Miria's promo piece, but just think about it.
Macross 7 needs some good publicity, and there aren't too many opportunities.
The people are afraid of the vampires.
They're all over the place, and causing all sorts of unrest.
The military and the City Police are doing all they can.
But the situation is going from bad to worse. The peace they had is crumbling and...
In any case, you were Ichijo Hikaru from the start.
Suck it up and do it.
Zoom, zoom. Zoom, zoom.
My boyfriend is a pilot.
It flashes and makes a nose dive.
Why do I have to dress like this ?
It lets out a boom and zooms off.
And putting all those goofy ornaments on my Valkyrie...
In the contrail, with a long tail...
...two big hearts overlap.
A love sign in the pale blue sky.
Okay, good pose.
We'll transition to the Zentraedi battle like this.
I love you, you love me ?
Scene 67, standby okay.
Start !
But instead of me...
...he has a crush on his plane.
Zoom, zoom. Zoom, zoom.
My boyfriend is a pilot.
What's that ?
What is it ?
Those aren't prop machines... they're the enemy for real.
No way !
Come and get it !
I'll give you plenty to listen to...
My song !
Let's go !
Cut ! Cut !
What the hell does he think he's doing ?
Listen to my song !
Mylene, the time for our debut has come.
Basara !
Let's go !
Let's get started, it's Saturday night. How're you guys doing ?
What's the meaning of this ?
Let's stand up, do you feel the beat ?
This isn't some drama. That's the real enemy.
What ?
This is a flying paradise. A forgotten energy...
Diamond Force, scramble standby.
Now hurry up and take it back.
No more wastin' time.
Before everything fades away like a dream.
Hey, everybody ! Aim at the light.
Basara...
Let's dance. Dancing on the planet dance.
A liar sings a sad song of surrender.
No thanks ! You're of no help.
Ever-changing constellations and invisible sweat and tears...
...brings courage into my heart.
No more wastin' love, don't ruin your love.
That voice...
Someone must be looking only at you.
Hey, everybody ! Straight from your heart...
Let's shout. Jumpin' on the planet dance.
Who ever imagined something like this could happen ?
Having to trust her life to a guy like him...
This music really sets the stage...
Don't say stupid stuff like that !
You're still rolling, right ?
Of course !
To be able to shoot something like this...
No more wastin' love, I want to love you.
With this beat that hits tomorrow.
That voice...it has to be Miss Mylene's !
Hey, everybody ! Aim at the light.
Let's dance. Dancing on the planet Dance.
Hey, everybody ! Straight from your heart...
Let's shout. Jumpin' on the planet dance !
Not again...
I think I understand now...
..the legendary story of Linn Minmei.
It's a story that's been forgotten with time.
It's just like the drama being filmed now.

Basara ! I've been abducted by some weirdoes !
Where are you, Mylene ? Where are you ?
I don't know !
Next time, "Spiritia Farm."
Mylene, listen to my song !
