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.
This is D2. This is D2. I've found a sample.
I'll bring it back.
The fold energy is recharging ?
We came to ask permission to go wild.
Help me !
What're you doing here ?
I'm going to add a little insurance.
This machine will stop if I punch it !
No way !
The fold was so sudden...
...but the citizens don't seem to be aware of the situation's seriousness.
That's fortunate. Have you been able to contact Battle 7 ?
Not at all. We're trying to determine our coordinates...
...but there's a disturbance in space that's giving us trouble.
I understand. Please continue with your work.
Mayor, what about the repairs to the fold system ?
We're hurrying with that, also.
If it wasn't for Nekki Basara, punching the computer like that...
What an appalling thing to do.
That was an emergency. We can't indiscriminately blame him.
That's hot !
Fighting Woman Mayor, Miria
This is the abnormal chord-C Spiritia who interfered with the fold ?
Yes.
What is the possibility of his affecting our future plans ?
Ninety-nine percent.
Are there any changes in the underground power system ?
The repairs of the fold system are approximately twenty percent complete.
We will leave after the fold system is repaired. Prepare for launch.
Yessir.
A separate unit will search for the abnormal chord-C Spiritia, and assassinate him.
Basara, I've got us a new gig.
Oh, when ?
One week from now.
Where ?
It's a place called Silver Paradise on 5th Street in Macross City.
Silver Paradise ?
I never heard of it. Is it a new club ?
I don't know.
Oh yeah, I wrote up a set list. Take a look at it.
We did it ! We did it !
Hey, hey !
Did ya hear ?
Planet Dance is up to number 8 on the City 7 charts !
Number 8, that's not bad.
It's moving up the charts very quickly, isn't it ?
It's due to the documentary on Linn Minmei, right ?
The show had a 94% audience rating.
It doesn't matter why ! Aren't you happy it's a hit ?
Going up the charts isn't everything.
As usual, you don't get it.
What do you mean ?! You're the one who doesn't get it !
Why can't you just be happy about it ?!
You're always so negative, so negative, so negative !
Geez, what would you know.
Geez, what did she come here for anyway ?
This sucks. Why'd next week's concert get moved up to today all of a sudden ?
They're in a hurry, apparently. They've got their reasons.
We've got things to do before a concert too, you know.
Don't say that. The pay is pretty good this time. We'll do what they want.
Isn't it about time we got someone to manage our schedule ?
I'd love to hire someone, but we don't have the money to pay them.
That's right. We've got to make it work by ourselves for now.
What would a kid know ?
But it's the truth ! We have to work hard for now !
You just don't get it.
We can't just be at their beck and call, performing at concerts whenever they ask !
Even under poor conditions, we do good work. That's Fire Bomber's code, right ?
Oh, man.
Just be glad we've got gigs.
That's right, you just be glad we have gigs.
Yeah, right. Keep talking.
There it is.
Good morning !
Thanks.
What is this place ?
It looks like a hospital.
They're all old people.
That's right. This is a retirement home.
A retirement home ?!
Apparently, there are a lot of veterans here.
D...don't tell me we're going to perform here ?!
This is Silver Paradise.
T...this is ?
No way !
You knew, didn't you, Ray ?
Well, yeah. That's okay, isn't it ?
They said they wanted to hear our music.
That's something to be happy about, whether they're old or young.
I never said I didn't want to do it.
All right, I'll get fired up !
You're Mylene, aren't you ?
Yes...
I saw the Linn Minmei story on television.
You were so cute !
T...thank you.
I have a request. Can I have my picture taken with you ?
Sure.
You, Mr. Manager. Will you please take it for me ?
M...Manager ?
Here we go then.
Peace.
Me too ! My teeth are still strong !
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Me too, me too !
That's a good picture.
This is a photo I took with Linn Minmei 35 years ago.
It's a treasure of mine. This too, will be a treasure of mine.
Thanks.
Fire !
Bomber !
A classic tune reaches past the ages, beyond all differences of young or old, male or female.
It lasts forever, and continues to be sung.
We would like the sound of Fire Bomber to be like that.
Grandpas, Grandmas ! Here goes Planet Dance !
I see. Almost, but not quite.
My apologies.
It wasn't Diamond Force's fault.
Sir.
Thank you for your report.
Captain.
Hm ?
Is there any news ?
We're conducting an intense investigation, but we haven't found anything yet.
I see.
We'll just have to pray for their safety.
Yes, sir.
Hikaru's Valkyrie, with Linn Minmei on board, flew into the midst of the enemy...
Lt. Gamlin.
I requested the readjustment of the Fold Boosters.
Lieutenant, is something wrong ?
No.
I will be leaving then.
Oh, Physica...
Is there something else ?
When a woman...
A woman ?
Yes.
What is it that makes a woman lie ?
Sir ?
For instance, let's say a woman was a singer in a rock group.
But she hid this from the man she had been seeing.
Why do you think that is ?
Well, I can't really say, but that woman probably doesn't love that man.
If a woman loves a man...
If a woman loves a man ?
She will hide nothing and tell him everything.
Is that true ?
No, I don't really know. But I believe it was written in a book.
I see.
It's nice, Planet Dance.
I don't know about that.
How about this then ?
This woman had a musician friend, who was obnoxious.
She was ashamed of this, so she could not admit that she was part of that group.
She was attracted to the man, so she told a lie to hide the shady parts of her life.
You're so perceptive when it comes to women, Lt. Gamlin !
But this might be a convenient interpretation for me...
...no, for the man who was lied to.
I'll leave now, sir.
It's not good to be like this.
Docker is recovering quite well.
So it seems.
The other soldiers who were attacked in battle are also showing signs of recovery.
I see.
But why do you play that in their rooms ?
The Linn Minmei Story.
I know what it is.
I play it because I believe there is a link between their recovery and that video...
...especially with the song in that video.
That's why.
What does that mean ?
Come to my room tonight. I think then you will understand.
Come in.
Yo !
I was waiting for you.
What's with this room ?
Go ahead and sit down.
What's all this about ?
Relax. You'll find out shortly.
H...hey, what is this ?
This is a revolutionary system that gauges moment by moment...
...fluctuations in agitation, excitement, and the emotions of joy, anger, love and happiness.
Wait, wait a minute. What're you...?!
Don't worry. This machine merely reacts to a person's emotions.
It converts into numbers the major changes going on inside you from small external stimuli.
What are you talking about ?!
Calm down.
This will be a revolutionary treatment for overcoming the victims' conditions.
Well, let's get started.
Hey, Chiba !
Start !
Since I was a small boy, I've always wondered, what is Linn Minmei ?
Stop it please, Chiba !
I finally hit upon a theory.
It is the existence of an energy.
For years I have been developing a device which will measure and utilize this energy.
And this latest incident should prove my theory.
If I can establish this, the Galactic Nobel Prize will no longer be a dream !
The title of my thesis is...
"On the Psychological Effects of Songs and Their Role in the Recovery from Illness''
That's odd.
All the responses are negative.
It shouldn't be this way.
Is the system still incomplete ?
I don't care, just stop it !
Ray, don't tell me this gig is going to be all old folks again.
Don't worry.
According to the concert promoter, the audience will only be young people this time.
They're particularly looking forward to seeing you pilot the Battroid as you sing.
Huh ? It sounds like these guys have got the wrong idea, too.
I'm not into anything like that.
Complaining again. You go out whenever you want to in the Battroid anyway !
It's not just whenever I want to ! There's always a proper reason for it.
There are people who want to see it, so just do it !
I never said I wouldn't. In my own way, I'll get into it !
You should have just said so in the first place.
It's him.
Abnormal chord-C Spiritia is travelling through point 35 with several others.
Attack immediately. Assassinate that nuisance.
W...what the...?
We're singing here ?
It sure is true that it's a young audience.
Ray...again ?!
Wait, this time I really didn't know.
If I'd known it was just little kids I would have refused.
That better be true.
Maybe.
Thank you so much for coming.
I had it transported here already.
Transported ?
The children are looking forward to the acrobatic flight of Mr. Basara.
Acrobat ?
Well, then...
Hey !
Yes ?
We're not here to put on an action show !
Are you sure you haven't got the wrong idea ?
Not at all. Of course we'll have you sing, also.
Ever since the Linn Minmei Story went on the air...
...Fire Bomber's "Clarinet Chance'' has been extremely popular among the children.
Geez. That's Fire Bomber's "Planet Dance'' !
He doesn't have a clue.
Huh ? Did I get something wrong ?
What you're thinking is way off !
I'm outta here.
B...but...
What the...?
That's...!
...them !
All right, let's get wild !
Hi, everybody ! Doing okay ?
Yeah !
Good music is something Grandpas and Grandmas, cute little babies...
...and boys and girls can all get into !
Everyone, let's get ready to go !
He's turned himself into a singing kindergarten teacher...
Here it goes !
The children are in danger !
Basara knows that.
What ? An enemy attack in City Land ?
Yes, that singing fool, Basara and children are in danger.
Send the City Police force out immediately !
And you, Mayor ?
Of course, it's my duty to protect the citizens !
What're you doing in such a narrow space ?
Hurry up and change to Gerwalk mode !
Choke the throttle !
Geez, you just don't know moderation, do you ?
Pull back on the steering lever.
Now I can finally sing without distraction.
Listen to my song !
I won't let them get away !
He's alive !
Are you okay, old lady ?
Who are you calling old lady ?!
Well, you seem to be okay.
Don't be concerned with me !
I wonder if the children are okay ?
Yeah, probably.
It's the City Police.
I'll leave the rest to you.
What do you plan on doing ?
I'm going to sing my heart out to those little kids !

Basara, you were in your room all night with a girl, weren't you ?
What were you doing ?
A Battroid festival ? You gotta be kidding !
Don't change the subject !
Next time:
A Girl's Jealousy
It's a radical fire !
