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...
Macross 7 Fleet
...which set out into the galaxy in search of habitable planets.
City Ship, City 7
Traveling through the vastness of space takes a long time.
Therefore, on the seven residential ships...
...there are cities, and the citizens are able to live as they did on earth.
City 7 Mayor Miria F. Jenius
But, seven years after leaving Earth...
...they were attacked by an unknown enemy, and City 7 was separated from the fleet.
Gigil
Battle 7
City 7
Then, a vicious enemy named Sivil entered City 7.
Sivil
In addition to putting the citizens in danger...
...Sivil has possessed the body of music producer Hojo Akiko...
Hojo Akiko
Nekki Basara
...and she is going after Nekki Basara.
Gigil's Ship
Battle 7
Maximilian Jenius, the captain of Battle 7...
...is showing strain from repeatedly failing to rescue City 7.
Battle 7 Captain Maximilian Jenius
Man, it's hot today.
Men of Burning Passion
What's the thermal resistance of City 7 ?
At most, 6000C.
That's cutting it pretty close.
Make sure you keep a tight lid on this one with the media.
Right.
The troubles never end.
Yeah.
What is it ?
It's just that...you seem to be enjoying this.
Is that the way it seems ?
Yes.
That's not good. I'll be more careful.
Oh, Mayor Miria.
I've heard the news.
We're going to be pulled into this red star in twelve hours, right ?
Eleven hours forty eight minutes to be exact.
Couldn't you have detected this earlier ?
If you had detected it, we could've changed course !
There's a peculiar magnetic field originating from this red star.
This magnetic field caused a minor miscalculation in our navigational radar.
We think this magnetic field is also preventing us from communicating with Battle 7.
There's no other choice. We'll have to fold out to somewhere else.
But the fold system isn't fully functional.
Then make it functional, quickly !
What's with this heat ?
This's why I didn't want to record in Akusho !
We have to. Basara wanted to do it here and Akiko approved.
You're so selfish ! What're you thinking anyway ?!
This is great ! If we're gonna rock, it's got to be hot !
It's hot.
All right everyone, let's get moving.
Hai.
It's so cool ! I feel alive again.
What are you doing ? The air conditioning is on, isn't it ?
Oh, shut up. I'm doing this because the air's not on !
That's the trouble with kids.
What ?
Tune your bass.
I don't need you to tell me.
You're not getting ready, though.
I will when I'm done here.
Do it now !
You seem to be having fun.
What's wrong ? Aren't you enjoying yourself ?
You don't seem as energetic as usual.
Really ?
Yes.
Have you been eating well ?
I guess I haven't been eating much.
I realize you're busy, but...
You're worried about me ?
Of course. We have only you to depend on.
Is that all ?
Is what ?
You're not fair.
W...what ?
You're... not... fair.
Akiko...
...do you mind ?
All right, that's it for the settings.
The rest is up to you.
As that explanation should have made it clear...
...this music has a particular effect on the human body.
We'll call this effect "x.'' Let's express this "x'' in an equation.
That should make things clearer.
Using this, I have designed a "Song Energy Detector.''
Now let me explain the mechanisms.
Basically, if we use this, we can find out where Fire Bomber is.
If we know that, we can pinpoint City 7's location.
We are currently mounting the detector onto our ship's hyper space radar.
Then it's just a matter of waiting for Fire Bomber to perform somewhere out there.
Aren't you done yet ?
We've made emergency repairs to the functional systems...
...but the coordinates haven't been set yet.
The magnetic field of the red star has affected it considerably.
The coordinates don't matter.
Start charging the fold energy immediately.
Even so, it will take at least six more hours.
We don't have even eight hours until we're pulled into the star.
Start charging immediately !
Understood.
The city pounds with life 24 hours a day.
Tonight, tonight !
I'm charging on through.
In the crowd of eyes on the fire escapes I see above...
Sign of the times ! They're searching for it too...
A blue diamond that dazzles the eyes...
Basara...
Raise the vocal track !
Right !
...will turn to glass.
More !
It'll crack if it goes any higher.
Baby, watch your step !
More !
If you say so.
Holy lonely light !
Hurry, believe in yourself !
Heavy lonely night !
From the darkness I can see the answer...
Is this really the way you want it ?
...coming out to me.
Excuse me. Keep working.
There's a love that's worth...
Transmission to all ships. We are about to begin investigative maneuvers.
All communications will be temporarily off line.
Are we really going to be able to find City 7 with a thing like that ?
Don't know.
I'm not expecting any great results.
Could you keep it quiet ?
Sorry ! Sorry !
Here it is.
Definitely. We have a response.
Coordinates, please.
It's no good. I lost it.
Fold charge is at 65%. Fold is possible in two hours.
Four hours until we're pulled in. It looks like we'll make it.
Mayor Miria, the environmental controls are losing some of their energy to the fold charger.
The air conditioning has weakened. The temperature in the city is 34C.
What about shell down ? We'd be able to cut 15% of the heat from the outside.
Impossible ! The citizens will be suspicious if we shell down when there's no fighting !
No, let's shell down. We'll tell the citizens it's a test.
It's good you thought of that.
I was just concerned about my wife and family in the city.
I'll make sure we all get out of this alive.
Mayor Miria, de-folding ships confirmed ahead !
It's the enemy fleet !
The enemy !
Well, that saves my having to make lousy excuses to the citizens.
The ship is heading for red star Ix-Fau-Alpha 1101.
Their chance of escaping the gravitational field is 0.002%.
It's not my problem if Gepelnitch's dream goes down in flames and turns to ashes.
Besides, once that's gone, Sivil will give up and come out again.
An enemy attack ?
Gepelnitch, this is what you deserve for slighting me !
You're here, too, enemy of all women ?
Huh ? What're you talking about ?
Hey, that's a huge sun !
We're going to be pulled in there, aren't we ?
That's a possibility. It's up to you.
Mayor Miria, tell us what's going on.
We're charging the fold energy right now.
Lt Gamlin, I want you to defend the power system.
If they damage that, we're done for.
Roger.
I'll let them hear my singing on this burning stage !
Here I go !
I don't have time to play with you now.
Ignore him, our target is where the other fighter is heading !
Anima Spiritia. Ecstasy !
Hey, what happened to Akiko ?
She left earlier and hasn't been back.
What's with her anyway ?
It doesn't make a difference where we take shelter, does it ?
Actually, the city's facilities have weather control systems to combat this brutal heat.
Akusho doesn't.
Shit !
Dammit !
We're done with this area ! Now it's just a matter of waiting for Sivil to show up.
Maybe I'll play with that one. Two of you, follow me !
The rest of you return to the ship !
This is D-2, Gamlin. They've destroyed the power systems.
What ?!
The charge on the fold system has stalled at 80%.
The explosion has accelerated us. We only have fifty minutes until we're pulled in !
The surrounding temperature has risen to 1000C !
We've reached the limits of the weather control system !
Make it rain, whatever you have to do, to lower the temperature !
Gamlin...
Yes ?
I'm going to have you repair the power unit.
Repair ?
I can't send technicians out there in heat like this.
B...but...
I'll transmit detailed data of the power unit. I'm counting on you, Gamlin.
R...roger.
You idiot ! You can't save City 7 singing your songs !
Here it is ! Here it is !
Did you find it ?
It's "Planet Dance.''
Data output.
Coordinates confirmed.
City 7 is on a course from us to point Alpha 1011, at a distance of 550,000.
The back side of that red star. "One must go abroad for news of home.''
Captain, City 7 is within the gravity field of the red star Alpha 1101 !
It will be pulled in at this rate !
Prepare to rescue City 7 immediately ! Fold out at the origin of this sound !
Roger ! Commencing fold charge.
Ray, what's going on ?
Lt Gamlin has begun repairs on the power unit...
...but it's a question of whether it can be repaired before we're pulled into the red star.
I see.
Hang in there, Gamlin !
What's wrong, Ray ?
Akiko ?
Here comes the rest of it !
Let's Dance !
I hear you !
Fold in !
Thirty minutes until we enter the star.
Gamlin, aren't you done yet ?
It's a fairly difficult repair, but I'll do my best.
Basara...
...I'm giving you a mission.
Cooperate with Gamlin and repair the pipe.
Basara !
What the...?
It's Battle 7 !
They're late ! What were they doing until now ?
Fire ! Fire at once !
Captain, we're under attack !
Begin transformation !
Roger ! Roger !
Prepare for transformation.
Don't let that ship transform ! Fire ! Fire !
Shoot it down !
Energy charge for the cannon is complete.
Countdown begin.
Jyu.
Kyu.
Hachi.
Nana.
They're going to use that energy cannon again ?
Fold this ship immediately !
Macross Cannon, fire !
Ten minutes until we enter the sun ! The surrounding temperature is 4000C !
Max, hurry !
There's no rain water left, even. Now it's getting even hotter in the city.
Is Akiko going to be okay ?
Yes. We're almost at the hospital.
The surrounding temperature is beyond 5000C.
Sections of the shell are melting.
Less than five minutes left !
Battle 7, this is City 7, come in !
This is Max.
Max, we have to fold right now or City 7 will melt !
We can't right away ! We just fired the Macross Cannon !
It will take at least another 60 minutes to charge !
City 7 won't last that long !
Calm down and think ! There has to be some way !
Hey, you two, what're you fighting about ?
We're working hard down here !
Basara.
Max, City 7 has 80% fold energy left.
If we connect the power pipe to the auxiliary tank on Battle 7...
We can fold !
Gamlin, let's do it !
Yeah.
If this is all it takes to lay you out, you need more training.
Shut up ! Let's go !
Shit ! It's so hot !
Sing a song, you'll feel better.
It's that woman !
Basara, run !
Gamlin, hurry with the power pipe !
Basara !
Did his singing chase that woman away ?
Damn !
Surrounding temperature is 6500C. City 7 can't...
Mayor, we're done with repairs !
Roger ! Max, the repairs are finished !
Fold energy has been transferred !
Fold !
We managed, Nekki Basara.
Yeah.
Hey, what's with your face ?
What about you ?
I look better than you.
That's not true.
Mylene will have a big laugh when she sees you !
That's not true ! Mylene isn't like that !
You just don't know her.
No, you don't know her !
