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.
In the year 2009, the people of Earth encountered aliens for the first time.
These aliens were Zentraedi, a race of giants.
This encounter led to a violent war.
When the war ended, those Zentraedi who chose Micronization...
Micron Process
...were reduced to human size.
City 7
The mayor of the Macross Fleet's City 7 is Miria, a Zentraedi who has been Micronized.
City 7 Mayor Miria F. Jenius
Macross 7 Fleet Captain Maximilian Jenius
The captain of Battle 7, Maximilian, is an Earthling.
Their daughter, Mylene, is half-human, half-Zentraedi.
Mylene F. Jenius
The drummer of Fire Bomber, Veffidas, is a full-blooded Zentraedi.
Fire Bomber
Veffidas Feaze
The advisor to the United Forces, Exedore, has not undergone Micronization.
Battle 7 Bridge
Exedore Formo
The choice is completely up to each individual.
In some fleets, both the military and civilians alike are made up entirely of Zentraedi.
Macross 5 Fleet
Macross 5 is one such fleet.
Macross 5 Captain
Unfortunately, Macross 5 was attacked by Protodeviln, and destroyed.
He won't be of any use for a while.
To reduce Grabil to such a state...
Anima Spiritia...
...what frightening beauty !
Gabil.
Come.
Yes, sir.
These are my new servants.
The surviving samples from those destroyed on planet GGT...
You have achieved mind control !
An unexpected light shines, intruding upon my dream.
I cannot afford to awaken prematurely.
Gabil, we cannot stop time.
Yes, I understand.
I will make these the pawns of my beautiful strategy.
I have just discovered their critical weakness.
The Formula for
a Love Triangle
Basara, if you're in there, answer me !
He's never here when I come over ! This sucks !
Ouch !
What the heck is he up to ?
Michael, come over here !
What ? You want me to follow Basara...?!
Quiet ! Your voice is so loud !
Sorry. But why ?
He's been acting strangely these days.
That's probably because he's...
What ?
You're slow on the uptake, Miss.
What is it ?
He's most likely meeting a woman.
A woman ? Who ?
It must be Rex. You know, that biker girl.
Rex ?
When a man acts strangely, there's one sure reason.
That's a woman.
A woman ?
Geez !
How's it going ?
I've just spotted Basara.
Make sure you find out where he's going !
Leave it to me. I'm a pro at following people.
Michael, are you okay ?
Don't just stand there, go on ahead !
Don't lose sight of Basara !
Yes, sir !
What happened ?
I'm sorry. It looks like we've lost him.
What ? How many times did I tell you not to lose him ?
Do you have any idea which way he went ?
I'm sorry, but I have no idea.
Hey, you ? Did you see a guy with glasses carrying a strange backpack ?
What were you doing ? And you call yourself a pro ?
What a klutz.
I'm very sorry. I don't know what to say.
If this was gonna happen, I should've followed him myself.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm truly sorry.
The way she gets mad is just like Mayor Miria, too.
Like mother, like daughter.
I'll make you wake up today for sure !
I wonder when I can see you.
Commander, there's someone here to meet you.
M...Mylene.
Basara is ?
That's right. He's acting strange lately.
He doesn't put as much feeling into his singing sometimes.
I keep thinking that something must have happened.
I can't really say...
...but I don't think Basara is the kind of person who'd get hung up on something trivial.
How can you tell ?
I guess it's like a sense pilots have about other pilots.
A pilot's sense ?
Yes. Basara is quite capable as a pilot.
He plays and flies at the same time, and flies extremely well at that.
He does ?
He may even be better than Captain Maximilian, who's called a genius.
What ? He's better than Mom then ?
I...I don't want to be the one to say that...
But he is, right ?
Well...
Hey...
They say that piloting a Valkyrie will reflect all parts of your personality.
I can't believe someone who can fly like that would get hung up on something trivial.
I want to see the one who can share this sadness.
I'll keep calling you until my voice grows hoarse.
I want to see the rainbow...
I know I can pilot a Valkyrie as well as Basara...
It's true, you're amazing, Gamlin.
But there's a wall I can't break through when I am piloting.
QM-69.
QM ?
It means high mobility maneuver. Call it high speed repetitive rolling.
I can't break the barrier to reach QM-69.
Functionally, the VF-17 is capable, but it's physically very demanding.
But Basara breaks it easily and without hesitation.
That ability is awesome.
He must have tremendous concentration.
I want to take you to the crystalline ocean...
...in a distant star I read about before.
Pilots can tell about other pilots.
Say, Gamlin ?
Yes ?
I thought you disliked Basara.
I...I don't dislike him.
You really don't dislike him ?
Really.
You really don't ?
No.
So you really don't dislike him ?
Well, uh...
...I did consider him a nuisance, but I didn't dislike him.
I see.
Why are you suddenly laughing like that ?
Don't worry about it.
I think his piloting technique is amazing...
...but I don't understand his singing at all.
The enemy ?
Enemy units approaching the outer atmosphere.
They've entered the atmosphere.
I'll strike hard at your weak point !
The beauty of thoroughness !
I want to see the one who can share this sadness.
I'll keep calling you...
Dammit ! I was just getting into it !
I'll be back !
Behold, Samples, my ultimate mechanism !
The configuration of the enemy units is different.
They're not in the database.
A new design ?
Time of arrival, 1345.
Send out Emerald Force !
Roger !
Gamlin, I'm counting on you !
Roger !
Basara, where were you ?
Not any place for kids.
Launching Sound Boosters.
Let's make it a blast !
The waves from Anima Spiritia !
However, that can be stopped !
Sound Wave neutralization !
And this is your other weak point !
Your Sound Waves cannot stop the beauty of explosions !
It was so easy !
W...what the...?
Sound Force's Sound Beam isn't affecting them !
Captain, it appears that the Sound Beam is useless against normal weapons.
I didn't think they'd catch on so soon.
I won't let you !
Wild dance of beauty !
Ray, are you alright ?
The engine's been hit ! I can't increase power output !
I'm making an emergency landing !
Basara, you're still going to sing ?
The Sound Beam is useless against them !
That doesn't matter !
Basara !
Listen ! No matter what happens, protect Sound Force !
Mylene, watch out !
Captain, one of our rescue signals is being picked up from where the enemy crashed.
What ?
I've confirmed the identity code. He's from Macross 5.
It seems the Zentraedi from Macross 5 are piloting the enemy ships.
How could this be happening ?
Attention, all pilots from Macross 5.
This is Captain Maximilian Jenius from Macross 7.
Leave the field of battle immediately !
It appears that they're under the enemy's mind control. It's no use.
That means we're fighting our own people.
They're Zentraedi...
Mayor, what shall we do ?
Shall we continue attacking ?
Mayor, are you reading me ?
I hear you.
You must... you must...
Continue the attack.
Mayor, I'll try to disable them and not destroy them.
Lieutenant Gamlin...
Do you understand ? Avoid attacking the cockpit and missile launchers !
That's impossible ! There's no way to be that precise !
Do your best ! That's what being in Diamond Force is all about !
Roger.
Sir, what should we do ?
Obviously, keep attacking !
Docker, those are our pilots !
This is life and death ! There's no time for that !
We're under fire here !
You're a pilot, you can dodge their fire !
What're you talking about ?
If you just let `em go, they'll destroy Macross 7.
They're not fighting of their own free will !
They're being controlled !
They don't even have the pride of flying as a pilot !
What's the point of attacking them in such a state ?!
Stop attacking to destroy immediately !
Look ! All this talking and one got past me !
Lt Gamlin, in front of you !
We're on your side ! We're on the same side !
Gamlin !
Why didn't he shoot ?
What have I been doing ?
This is Fire Bomber's "Charging Heart of Love."
Why ?
Where am I ? What am I doing ?
This is Captain Maximilian Jenius of Macross 7.
This is Matthew Langley of the Macross 5 defense force.
What am I doing ?
I will give you the details later. Leave the battlefield immediately !
Roger !
Basara's Song Energy seems to have freed him from the enemy's mind control.
So it seems.
That quickly ?
He's using my booster system.
Basara, shine the light of Song Energy on the soldiers !
Leave it up to me !
Everyone, wake up ! There's no need for us to fight !
Basara, let all of the Zentraedi hear your song !
More, sing out more !
Calling all Macross 5 pilots ! Leave the field of battle immediately !
This is Captain Maximilian Jenius of Macross 7.
Leave the battle immediately !
Roger !
The mind control...
Is this why Basara sings ?
Damn. Even for Lord Gepelnitch, mind control duration 578 was too short !
Without acquiring Anima Spiritia...
...Lord Gepelnitch's dream won't attain the beauty of completion !
Basara, are you alright ?!
That's the real enemy.
QM-69 !
Consciousness wandering... I don't understand !
Retreat !
I did it...
Ray, are you alright ?
Yeah.
Now she shows up.
Basara, I hear you're disappearing all the time.
Mylene was worried.
That's not my concern.
You've gotten a lot better at piloting.
Oh, I don't know.
One of these days I'll take a good listen to your songs.
What're you saying ?
You mean you want to listen to Mylene's songs, right ?
Fine, then.

Basara, we're all over the tabloids !
Don't make such a fuss !
Wow ! Basara's secrets, exposed ! Is this true ?
Bomber !
