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.
Macross 7 is a giant emigrant fleet searching the galaxy for habitable planets.
Macross 7 Fleet
Battle 7
It is comprised of the United Earth Forces and approximately 1,000,000 citizens.
Battle 7 Captain, Maximilian Jenius
Lt. Gamlin Kizaki
However, for reasons unknown, City 7 was separated from the main fleet.
City 7 Mayor, Miria F. Jenius
Citizens
City 7
Docked onto City 7 is a small block known as Akusho, not registered in the fleet roster.
Akusho
Building in Akusho
On Akusho lives a rock vocalist known as Nekki Basara.
Nekki Basara
Fire Bomber
Of course, he isn't a registered citizen, either.
Concerts aside, he has an unfortunate tendency...
Bass/Vocalist, Mylene F. Jenius
...to jump in the middle of a battle and start singing.
Speaker-pods
He sings to challenge himself...
Gigil
...staking his life upon the pursuit of an infinite dream, his music.
Sivil
Unfortunately, neither his enemies nor his friends understand this.
Even so, Nekki Basara continues to sing, as he's one man who isn't easily discouraged.
Stop ! I won't let you lay a finger on Mylene !
Gamlin Kick !
I'm here. Mylene, are you all right ?
Gamlin, you're the only one I can count on.
If it's for you, Mylene, this is nothing.
Gamlin...
Mylene...
I can't believe I just dreamt...
A Falling Little Devil
I came to rescue Mylene, when, of all things, I was shot down.
Are you OK, Gamlin ?
M...Mylene !
I heard that you were shot down, so I...
Your wounds, are they OK ?
Yes, I'm fine. I had them examine my brainwaves, just in case.
Thank goodness !
Gamlin, if you got hurt at a time like this, it would be a major setback for us...
This time... This time, I promise, I'll destroy the enemy !
Please don't push yourself too hard.
It's time for your medicine.
Well, I'll be going, I have a report to turn in.
Why am I...?
And...?
All injuries are typical of what we see in combat related wounds.
That's what I'd like to say, but...
...there are some irregularities in the patient's brainwaves.
His anxiety level is unnaturally high, almost as if he's extremely frightened of something.
It's a woman !
Physica died in combat, and with Lt. Kinryu in that condition, Diamond Force is...
Do you know that guy who was piloting the Battroid ?
Of course ! I'm a fan !
Really ?! He was awesome ! Didn't he drive the enemy away ?
So they were enemy ships ?
See ? You don't know what we're talking about !
I do, too ! Fire Bomber, right ?
OK, what was his debut song ?
Planet Dance !
Fire Bomber...
Basara, it's time !
It's time. Don't you have to go ?
I don't want to go....
Ray, what're you doing with that ?
Your song yesterday, and that other one...
I'm studying them. The key is in the music.
The element that was affecting "it.''
Affecting "it'' ?
I don't know what that glowing globe was, but your music obviously affected it.
Gimme a break.
See ya later.
We've established contact with Battle 7.
Patch it through.
Your first priority, as the military, is to protect the citizens !
Do you mean to tell me you aren't able to carry out your duty ?!
I told you, we were just barely able to establish communications.
We've had many problems on our end.
I don't want to hear it !
When reinforcements finally arrived, they were powerless against the enemy !
I'm so glad I can count on the military in tight spots.
Once we regroup, we'll be there as soon as possible.
We will be awaiting your arrival.
W...wait !
How is Mylene ?
I suggest you come talk to her in person.
Don't take your eyes off the monitors !
Yes, sir !
Raise the Commander of the Einstein.
Because we're leaving this sector, I need to discuss the chain of command.
Roger !
This seems to be as far as I can get.
It's no good. With the processing power of the City Computer, this is the best we can do.
Aren't all computers the same ?
Yes, but we don't have enough data. With just this image sequence...
You saw it, didn't you ?
I guess.
There's no way you could've missed it at such close range.
I don't know ! It didn't seem to dig the music, though.
The samples' Fold System is out of commission.
It cannot be helped.
We must fold the samples with our own resources.
Sivil, that's your job.
Sivil, the fact that you're already in charge of directing a major operation...
...is proof of Gepelnitch's confidence in your abilities.
That is irrelevant. I will use your battalion.
Go ahead.
Anima Spiritia...
This feeling...!
That sensation ! I must confirm it !
Basara...?
You're Lt. Gamlin !
Hello.
Mylene isn't here right now.
W...well...
Oh, am I interrupting ?
No, you're welcome to stay, if you like.
W...what's that ?
Well, you may not understand, Lieutenant...
How should I put this...?
I'm studying the effect music has on human behavior.
Well, I guess you could say I'm searching for the magical element in music.
The secret to music ?
Yes.
Hi. I've been waiting for you.
Something wrong ?
N...no...I'm pretty sure a friend of mine is doing a similar experiment.
Really ? He must be the eccentric type.
Yeah, well, he's a military doctor named Chiba.
Military doctor ? I'd like to meet him some day.
Of course.
T...this is Basara's...music, right ?
Yes. What do you think ?
Uh, well...
You seem to have strong feelings about it.
Uh...well...
Probably the first time you've ever seen such a messy room, isn't it ?
Uh, well...
Mylene practices here as well.
R...really ?
Would you mind telling me why Mylene plays in this band ?
Can't you tell ?
Listen closely...
Aren't they precisely in synch ?
They have opposite personalities, and they argue all the time.
For some reason, when they start singing...
Argue...
Would you be interested in coming to a concert ? It's a complimentary ticket, but...
Y...yeah.
Bathe me in stardust.
Mm...baby.
It's a fantasy that swirls round in the sky.
Creating a rainbow in the night.
Mm...baby, yeah.
We begin walking towards the rainbow-colored stars up above.
Excuse me...coming through...
Is it always this crowded ?
Chasing the legendary blue wings.
Till the night gives way to the dawn.
[Fly, fly fly]
You and me, both free as wind...
...play out our cosmic melody.
Mylene...
A heartbeat turns into a comet.
Mm...maybe.
All right, formation Z ! Initiate !
They're here !
Let's go !
We're counting on you, Basara !
Basara's coming through, everybody give him room !
Sorry !
Basara, go get'em !
Go get the enemy !
Idiot, I'm going to make them listen to my music !
...and what about the VF-17 ?
Sorry, sir, it's still under repair.
What're you doing over there ?
Sir, we don't have the necessary equipment to perform the repairs, we need more time...
Mylene !
This way.
We're going to take the samples' ship and fold them.
All units take fold positions !
Fold areas have been set.
All right, prepare to build up energy.
10 medium sized ships, many smaller ships !
They've taken up positions around City 7.
We have indications that they're building up significant amounts of energy.
What is the enemy planning to do ?
They're trying to fold us.
But I thought City 7's fold capability was lost ?
No ! Those medium class ships are trying to force City 7 to fold !
W...what ?!
If we don't do something, City 7 will be transported !
Battle 7, what are you doing ?!
We will proceed to City 7 immediately.
Immediately ?! How long is it going to take ?!
Immediately !
Battle 7 will go to protect City 7.
We haven't completed the repairs to Section C...
Unless it'll affect our fold ability, we'll just put a make-shift patch on it.
There's no time.
Roger !
Enter fold position ! Initialize energy buildup !
Roger !
This time, I'll let you listen to the sweet melody !
Go, Basara !
But is it going to be alright.
Mylene...where're you going ?
Don't worry about it !
I didn't know such classics still existed.
Did you find it in some museum ?
W...what're you...?
I'm getting in, of course !
That's crazy !
I beat some enemies with this ! I was the highlight of the battle !
I have to go !
I'll go !
But...I'm good with this type...
I'm a member of Diamond Force.
Well...ok...
Mylene, I will demonstrate my skill in combat for you !
This is my chance to repay them.
Did you say something ?
Uh...no, it's nothing.
Mylene, get outta here !
It's me.
Leave this to me.
Dammit, you've got it all wrong ! Don't interrupt me !
Energy buildup, complete.
All right, discharge fold energy at full power !
What the...?
This is...
The city !
Where is Battle 7 ?
It's Battle 7 !
You're late !
Dammit !
Take attack positions, transformation in...!
We don't have time. Full speed ahead ! We'll ram the nearest enemy ship !
Hurry !
We were too late !
What was that ?
Sir, we were hit by an enemy ship.
Due to the collision, the coordinates have been shifted.
The samples have not folded out at the intended site.
Where are they ?!
We cannot determine this.
Those bastards ! I'll kill them !
Commander Gigil, we cannot fire our Alpha-KA class variable destruction K-Z-F energy bolt.
If we engage the enemy, our probability of victory is 0.3%.
So we've been blown to another section of the universe again ?!
That's it ! Go, Basara !
Fire Bomber !
Listen to my song !
Damn, this is its limit ?! No power at all !
Don't interfere !
Gamlin !
She got me !
My precious Valkyrie !
Man, not again ! Stay and listen to the whole thing !
Hey, Basara did it !
He won again !
What're you so mad about ?
Everybody was going "Basara, Basara !" You're a hero.
What's wrong with him ?
I guess we all have our problems.
I guess Mylene saw me go down....
