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.
Resort Ship Riviera
This search has taken a long time.
Amusement Ship Hollywood
City Ship City 7
Therefore, on the 7 residential ships...
...are cities where the citizens live like they did on Earth.
City 7 Mayor Miria F. Jenius
In order to guarantee their safety...
...they are accompanied by a large fleet led by a United Forces' battleship.
Battle 7
City 7
Battle 7
However, seven years after leaving Earth...
...the fleet was attacked by an unknown enemy.
The damage to the fleet and its elite Diamond Force was heavy.
Lt Kinryu
Ltjg Gamlin Kizaki
And without a real solution to this problem, Sound Force was established.
Sound Force
Dr. Chiba, Sound Force Advisor
The members of Fire Bomber were chosen for this civilian unit.
Fire Bomber
Hey, you're still not going to join in ?
We're going into the fifth song.
Hey, Basara !
You're just staring into space.
Go on without me.
Where are you going ?! We can't rehearse this way.
I'm going to get a breath of fresh air.
We've finally gotten Sound Force started, too.
Well, he probably has concerns of his own.
Huh, Basara does ?
Yeah, maybe romantic concerns.
Romantic ?!
Ray, do you know something ?
Not really.
Sivil.
Oh, well.
Merry Go Round
Ltjg Gamlin Kizaki of the 138th Air Wing, 488th Special Attack Unit, Diamond Force...
...for your outstanding actions in defense of City 7, are promoted to full Lieutenant.
You are hereby reassigned to protection of City 7 under the Mayor's command.
That is all.
What does this mean ?
Your orders, Lt Gamlin. You are assigned to City 7.
Under the command of the mayor ?
It's by request of the mayor. Who knows when City 7 will be separated again ?
She wants a dedicated defense unit to protect City 7.
And I am to be part of that unit ?
That's correct.
But as a member of Diamond Force...
Diamond Force is...
...well, Ensign Physica...he was posthumously promoted to full lieutenant...
...and we can't tell when Commander Kinryu will recover.
Who's going to protect Sound Force ? Normal pilots won't be able to...
There's Emerald Force, with Lt Docker.
The squadron is made up of the newest VF-19s.
Hey, Gamlin !
What's wrong ? You look down.
It's nothing.
We're going to be fighting together with Sound Force.
C...congratulations.
It's great. Did you know ? Mylene from Fire Bomber is charming, and extremely cute.
I'll take her driving sometime.
Commander Kinryu.
The flight space of Sound Force will be 0.008 away from Emerald Force.
It's so you won't interfere with them.
I understand.
And as for the list of songs, I am analyzing various data right now...
...and we will ask you to play the songs in the sequence of their predicted effectiveness.
You're going to regulate that, too ?
As an official member of the military, you must follow orders.
Your vocalist doesn't seem to be here yet.
I think he'll be here soon.
You must be punctual !
What were you doing ?!
You must be on time !
Hey, Basara, what're you doing ? We're discussing the song list.
Cut it out !
Huh ? What's the point of that ?
I'll sing what I want when I want.
That's not right. There is this list...
Look at this !
Shut up !
Once I'm out there, I'll sing whatever my feelings tell me !
I'll put my heart into singing the songs that feel right to me !
That's not the way...!
That's the only way ! The feeling of the moment is the most important !
That's not right ! The data will determine the appropriate...
Come to think of it, what Basara is saying might be correct.
How about we just leave it to him ?
But, Doctor !
It might be that free spirit, refusing to let anything capture it, which is important.
Doctor !
Thank you for your understanding.
Hey, Doc, you're pretty cool.
See ya.
Sivil is what ?
The troops which infiltrated reported that she has broken off communications.
What does that mean ?
We no longer know where Lady Sivil is.
What the hell are they doing ?!
Then I'll go myself and find her !
What about Lord Gepelnitch ?
Leave that narcissistic monster out of this !
Excuse me.
Come in.
I have been ordered to the dedicated defense of City 7.
I have come to report for duty.
Welcome. I will also require you to patrol City 7 during non-emergencies.
P...patrol, also ?
Of course. Unknown enemies have infiltrated City 7.
But I've always been a pilot...
I know that you've been an elite pilot.
Then I have one request. Recommend me as a member of Emerald Force.
I can't do that. Defense of City 7 is a respectable military assignment.
But, I'm...
Under this assignment, I'll be your superior officer.
I'll ask you to follow my orders.
Come in, both of you.
I'll introduce you.
These two rookie pilots are Dick and Morry.
I have asked them to join Diamond Force.
It's our pleasure, sir !
My pleasure also.
I'm proud to serve with you, Lt Gamlin !
Let's sink countless enemy ships and gain honors !
Physica, I'm sorry.
I'm the only one left, and because of my inability, Diamond Force has come to this.
You suck.
What ?!
Excuse me.
Gamlin !
I wonder what's wrong with Gamlin.
He's probably in shock.
They say he wasn't included in the newest command, Emerald Force.
What's that mean ?
He was taken out of a top command, and reassigned.
They considered him a nuisance.
Why ?! Gamlin protected City 7 all by himself !
He worked so hard !
It's not fair !
There's no point in getting mad at me, it's the military.
Gamlin.
Gamlin !
Mylene !
What ? We're taking a break from rehearsal !
What's this ?
Nothing.
Gamlin isn't the kind of guy who'd bite into a whole apple.
It's very tasty, Mylene.
Oh, good.
Your song touched me, Mylene.
These are times to listen to music.
It's a good thing, isn't it ?
If you'd like, take this.
It was given to me when I was younger.
It's good for when things aren't going your way. You rub it.
Does something happen if you do ?
"Magic takes effect and your future becomes brighter.''
That's what I was told.
So I rubbed it hard.
They told me later it was only to make you feel better.
Isn't that horrible ?
Ah...oh...no.
But I liked it, so I kept it.
If you like, you can have it, Gamlin.
Why me ?
You're such a serious person, Gamlin.
Oh, surely not so much ?
I thought you should have something frivolous like this.
See you later.
Good luck in Sound Force.
You have to loosen up.
Much looser.
Mylene.
It looks like Macross 5 has found a good planet.
If there's water there then there are plants too, right ?
That would be the logical conclusion.
According to their report, there's also plenty of food.
It's a dream planet !
Once we arrive, you can all have a good vacation.
Hooray !
Defold effect detected.
What ?!
Sivil, where are you hiding ? I'll find you !
Everyone, let's go !
Emerald Force is ready for launch.
Launch !
What about Sound Force ?
They're about to launch.
Let's get started !
Remember, don't let the enemy get near Sound Force !
Roger !
Let's go !
He's being a bit reckless.
Lt Gamlin, your duty is to protect City 7, do you understand ?
I understand.
D2 to D1.
Commander, let's join the battle and defeat the enemy !
D1 to D2. That sort of thinking will get you killed. Be careful.
But if we just float here...
Our duty is to protect City 7 !
Roger.
Hey, Basara, you're forcing it !
Mylene !
Oh, geez !
Mylene, what're you doing ?
It's because you went out ahead on your own, Basara !
This isn't like a normal stage ! Don't come up behind me like that !
We're both members trying to make the same music right ?
What's that ?
Hey, you guys, this isn't the time or place to be arguing.
It's because Mylene was screwing up my tempo !
You're the one who's not getting it right !
You're overextending yourself, flying ahead like this !
I'm not overextending ! I'm a good pilot !
Oh, yeah, then go ahead and play around !
I said cut it out !
All right, let's get started again !
W...wait a minute !
What are you doing ?
Just wait a minute !
Ray, can I attack ?
No ! What do you think we're out here singing for, anyway ?
But...
I'm here for you, Mylene.
A...arigato !
Okay, let's go !
Don't go out ahead alone.
Don't interfere !
Looks like I'd better get in there among the samples myself and find Sivil !
Bastard !
Don't let him enter City 7 !
Roger !
And don't let him damage City 7 ! These are your directives !
Roger !
Don't interfere with my flight path !
This is our airspace !
I've shot down 7 enemy units !
What're you doing ?!
Get out of my way !
I'm responsible for the protection of City 7 !
I won't let you attack any further !
D2, D3, the enemy ship to BX402 !
Roger !
Okay ! Go to formation Y !
Well done, V follow up !
You flies !
We did it !
You screwed things up !
You're the one who ruined it !
Sound Force isn't just for you !
Oh, really ?
What do you mean, "Oh, really ?''
Anyway, that was a horrible performance.
We have to get together and rethink our combination.
It looks like a failure.
That's part of experimentation. You have to take the long view.
Well done, Lt Gamlin.
I feel reassured, now that City 7 is in your capable hands.
It's only to be expected that we fulfill our duty.
I'm glad I asked Max for the most skilled pilot.
It's so irritating. It's just not working out.
We're all out of synch.
What can I say ? I'm so ticked off !
This is a lot of fun.
We're just going around the same place over and over, but...
It's my first time on a merry go round.
I'm so touched.
I never knew there was anything this much fun in the world.
Gamlin...
This might actually work. You rub it and good things happen.
I'll rub it for you, too, so good things will happen for you as well.
Gamlin !

Gamlin asked me out on a date !
What ?! Why do I have to sing a duet with an old lady ?
The enemy attacked during our date !
What're you doing, Mylene ? Sing !
Next time, "Midnight Duet.''
Midnight Duet
It's a radical fire !
Plus
See you later !
We'll come as soon as we're done handing over the work here.
Bye !
I'll get home quickly and continue my game of military chess.
Who left this open ?
Is it broken ?
Captain !
The captain was on the bridge for so long.
He should go home and rest.
Here.
Such a waste.
What's Mayor Miria doing ignoring a fine man like him ?
Harder, harder !
Harder !
Harder, I said ! Why do you think I hired you, anyway ?!
Oh, Captain.
He's so cute.
That's not fair !
This isn't...
Don't take your eyes off of the monitor !
Yes, sir !
