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.
Battle 7
Macross 1 Fleet
There are also other fleets traveling through the galaxy...
Macross 5 Fleet
...and they communicate using the Galaxy Network.
City 7
For some reason, Akusho, an unregistered block, is attached to City 7.
Akusho
Nekki Basara
A rock vocalist named Nekki Basara lives there.
Fire Bomber
Fire Valkyrie
He is a reckless man, putting his life on the line singing at concerts and in battle.
Speaker Mode
People are beginning to wonder if perhaps there is some tremendous power in his singing.
City 7 Mayor Miria F. Jenius
Citizens
Sound Force
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Let's go !
Captain Max.
Oh, just leisurely watching TV ?
You're quite confident, aren't you ?
Have you found out about the vampires which have infiltrated our ships ?
No, I'm still not in a position to give you a satisfactory report, Madam Mayor.
Well, if that isn't just like you. Well, there's no sense in complaining.
Let me get straight to the point.
I told you of the fact that a new enemy has infiltrated City 7.
I've sent you visual footage of the enemy. Please make use of it.
Mayor Miria, as always, thanks for your cooperation.
And please heighten the level of security.
I don't understand...
...when was it that our conversations became so cold ?
To commemorate the safe docking of Battle 7...
...a grand celebration was held at City 7's Hoshizora Concert Hall.
Excited by Fire Bomber's performance, many young people in the audience fainted.
In other news...
Sound Force...
So the time has come to try it out.
Yes, sir.
I've already made arrangements with the relevant divisions.
Who do you plan to use as members ?
Myself, Basara, and Veffidas. A total of three...
...and if possible, one more.
You don't mean...?
No, I plan to leave Mylene...
...I mean, your daughter, out of it.
I'm looking for a fourth at this time.
Fine. Please do so.
This is an important plan, not just for the Macross 7 Fleet...
...but for the safety of all who would travel through space.
The members mustn't be hastily selected.
Captain, please allow me to make the final member selection.
All right. In any case I wouldn't be able to make that decision myself.
It's time for a meeting. I'd like you to attend.
Yes, sir.
As for Ensign Irina Hayakawa from the unit sent to the 4th planet...
...City 7's doctors have concluded that his mind control was broken by Fire Bomber's song.
But it's still not clear why.
No, the conclusion by City 7's doctors is correct. I agree completely.
It's the song energy from Fire Bomber's Nekki Basara...
...which produced some sort of psychological effect and broke the mind control.
Lt Chiba, isn't that a bit premature ?
Wasn't the removal of the mind control helmet the direct cause ?
No, I have data which confirms it. Essentially...
Doctor, leave the detailed explanations until later.
I'm leaving this patient in your care.
Take care of him and cooperate with the doctors from City 7.
Yes, sir. I promise to bring him back to normal using sound therapy.
On the next topic, take a look at this visual sent to me by Mayor Miria.
This is the new enemy who attacked City 7.
This enemy is much faster and more powerful than the enemies we've been fighting.
Lt Kinryu of Diamond Force was put into a comatose state as a result of this battle.
It was Nekki Basara's song which defeated this unknown enemy.
We shouldn't decide that so easily. That too, has yet to be determined.
There's no question, he had some sort of effect.
I never imagined that Sound Force would be realized.
This is a visual which captured the enemy's appearance.
Protodeviln.
What is it, Advisor Exedore ? What is a Protodeviln ?
Protodeviln make Zentraedi lose their minds. It must not be spoken of.
Advisor Exedore !
What's a Protodeviln ?
It makes the Zentraedi lose their minds ?
Captain.
What is it ?
About the time this enemy appeared...
...many incidents occurred in City 7 involving Zentraedi citizens.
What ?
Captain, there's an incoming communication from Macross 5.
From Macross 5 ?
I'll patch it through to your monitor.
Earlier today, Macross 5 arrived at a planet located at S1350, N3605.
This planet has plentiful natural surroundings and has a similar environment to Earth's.
We have decided to begin settling here.
We have named this beautiful planet "Lux.''
If you would like to replenish your supplies, please stop by.
Thank you for your kind offer.
By the way, Captain Maximillian, Macross 7's songs by Fire Bomber are extremely popular here.
If the citizens could hear them live, they would be delighted. Please stop by.
I...I see.
Sound Force ?
Yes. With the United Force's protection we would fly out into space in Valkyries and sing.
Not just you alone. That's Sound Force.
Seriously ? The United Forces, huh ?
Yes.
Looks like they're catching on a little.
Sounds like fun.
You in on it too, Veffidas ?
What about me ?!
Mylene ?
You're like a little spy. How long have you been listening ?
What about me ?
Mylene, you can't go. It's too dangerous.
I'm a member of Fire Bomber too, aren't I ?
Why am I being left out of it ?
You're not up to it.
Sound Force is too dangerous ? Gimme a break.
If I meet the enemy in space, I'll shoot them down !
It's that way of thinking that's keeping you out.
What kind of thinking ?
Anyway, you can't come.
Why's that ?! You're so selfish !
Oh, oh.
What do you mean "Oh, oh ?'' This ain't funny.
Anima Spiritia.
I've been wanting to meet you.
Listen to my song !
Ray, please let me be a member of Sound Force !
I know how you feel, but we're going to be deeply involved with the United Forces.
I can't let you join.
Why ?
Captain Max and Mayor Miria would never let you.
But that's got nothing to do with this ! I'm a member of Fire Bomber, aren't I ?
Am I in the way ? Am I useless ?
Why, Ray ?
I should've never joined Fire Bomber, if this is how it's going to be.
Holy lonely light !
Hurry, believe in yourself !
Heavy lonely night !
From the darkness I can see the answer...
...coming out to me.
Anima Spiritia !
There's a love that's worth...
...giving up the whole galaxy for.
There's a time that I can't figure out what's right or wrong.
But when our eyes meet...
...morning seems so far away.
I just wanna hold you close tonight !
Baby, light that fire !
Holy lonely light !
It's lit the fuse to your heart !
Ecstasy !
Basara...
Sivil.
What the...?!
What the heck was that ?
Basara !
Basara ?
What happened, Basara ?
Oh, nothing.
Enemy attack ?
H...hey, Basara !
What're you thinking, anyway ?!
You know what.
You're not up to it ! Basara...
They'll kill you, Basara !
I'll be okay.
What are you doing ?
You know what I'm doing.
I won't let you get away with this !
Don't fire missiles, they're stupid.
Sing.
What are you talking about ? This is the enemy !
Are you gonna leave 'em alone ? People are getting hurt down there !
Mylene, this is why you aren't part of Sound Force.
All right then, let's do it.
That feels good !
Well ?
Like you'd say...
"Let's go !'' Like that ?
Spiritia level rising rapidly.
Achieving unprecedented levels, and rising.
I can't believe this !
Doctor, what do you mean ?
The song gauge. It's reading 10,000 Chiba Song Units.
It's a unit I developed to measure song energy.
Captain, the channel for Mayor Miria isn't working.
Open all emergency channels. We must have the Mayor's permission to attack.
Captain, Basara's song is recording 10,000 Chiba Song Units.
Normally, the maximum is 3,000 !
What're you talking about ?
Spiritia gauge cannot be controlled.
Abnormal chord-C is causing fluctuations in the gauge's function.
Danger from abnormal Spiritia chord-C. Level of danger unknown.
Maybe it's possible.
What ?
You.
Ray Lovelock, I appoint you as leader of the civilian unit, Sound Force.
Yes, sir !
I ask that you serve the United Forces well.
Yes, sir. I would like to introduce the members of Sound Force.
Nekki Basara.
Nekki Basara, advance.
He was here a moment ago. He's a bit shy.
Next, Veffidas Feaze !
And, Mylene Jenius !
Mylene !
Including Nekki Basara, there are four members in Sound Force.
Ray, you said you'd leave Mylene out of Sound Force.
Yes, but I changed my mind.
What ?!
Captain, you left the selection of the members to me.
Yes, certainly... but Mylene is still a child.
I've been made to realize that Mylene Jenius is essential to Fire Bomber.
I will now hand out documents of authorization from the Macross 7 United Forces.
No way !
Basara.
I'm not interested in a Sound Force that's bound by the military !
I'll sing when I want to sing, that's my sound.
Let's go !
What's this about, Ray ?!
W...well, they must be giddy with joy at having been officially recognized as Sound Force.
Bomber !
