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.
Planet Lux
After leaving Earth, the Macross 7 emigrant fleet...
Battle 7
...was attacked far out in space by Protodeviln, and forced to land on Planet Lux.

The United Forces had a secret project, Project M.
Macross 7 Fleet
Macross 7 Captain Maximilian Jenius
This was based on how the idol, Linn Minmei, brought an end to the war through singing...
...but for a long time this project was not fully realized.
Linn Minmei
However, with Nekki Basara's appearance, Sound Force was formed...
Fire Valkyrie
Nekki Basara
...defeating the Protodeviln, which couldn't be harmed by conventional weapons.
Sound Force
Based on this success, the United Forces have reevaluated Project M and its potential power.
Colonel Barton
Dr. Chiba, Sound Force Advisor
However, in Nekki Basara's heart...
You, too, can be one of today's heroes, like Sound Force !
Sing to defeat the monsters and protect the peace of Macross 7.
The United Forces are looking for members for a second singing flight squad.
Jamming Birds
This unit will be called the Jamming Birds !
He said we're heroes.
So, guys and gals with a talent for singing, come to the auditions !
The password is Jamming Birds !
What are they thinking ?
It might be useful.
How can it be useful ?
Nobody's gonna show up for this.
I have a message for you from Colonel Barton.
This is Colonel Barton of the United Forces.
Mr. Basara, I'm sure you have been notified...
...but I would like to enlist your cooperation in the formation of the Jamming Birds.
I want you to be a judge for the auditions.
Please report to Earth United Forces Music Headquarters immediately.
He can forget it !
Basara ?
It's got nothing to do with me !
Where're you going ?
It's none of your business where I'm going !
Geez.
We're here at the auditions for the United Forces Jamming Birds Unit !
The dreamed of audition to become a member of the singing flight squad !
The moment of truth is approaching !
This isn't a variety show, Shijima !
Camera 2, stand by.
But this is a bad angle. Is it okay if I move up ?
Entry number one, Chitose Ripple.
Describe your passion for music.
Ever since I was little, I have loved singing.
I have all of the legendary idol Linn Minmei's albums.
What instruments do you play ?
I've been taking piano lessons since I was three.
What are your measurements ?
What ?
What are the three measurements of your figure ?
Lt Chiba, is it really necessary to ask about her measurements ?
Yes it is. One of the three elements of sound is strength.
If the strength and volume of the voice is greater...
...the Song Energy produced will be stronger.
Lung capacity is another important element.
Based on the body's proportions, the clarity and range of voice will vary, therefore...
I can feel our ratings dropping ! Somebody stop him !
Umm...bust 92cm, waist 58cm, hips 88cm.
Translation: 36 - 23 - 34.5
Please take off your robe.
Wow !
What great proportions !
Have you ever been in love ?
Yes, when I was in middle school.
Have you ever had sex ?
Well, no, not yet.
Yikes ! I can't believe they're asking these kinds of questions.
I'm glad I didn't make it past the first round.
Oh, Miho, you applied ?
Uh, yeah.
Actually, I had applied too.
Jamming Birds...
...are they really going to be effective ?
In times like these, it is well worth trying anything to make a difference.
Even if you know it's futile ?
Even if it is futile, at least it's nice to look at young women in bathing suits.
M...Miria !
Entry number 23, Miria Farina Jenius !
Miria !
Mayor, you don't need to sing !
Why have you entered the auditions ?
It should be obvious !
I'm the mayor, and it's my duty to protect this city and overcome this emergency.
The people know my skills as a battroid pilot...
...and I'm confident in my singing ability as well !
Oh Mom, please !
Entry number 24, Bobby Lacoste !
Hi, everyone !
Bobby !
You got better !
I was attacked by a vampire, and at one time was declared a hopeless case...
...but like a phoenix, I'm back !
I'm willing to give my life to defeat those despicable vampires !
I'll sing and sing and sing some more to save the Macross 7 Fleet !
He's so hot !
I love him !
He hasn't changed a bit.
Sivil, why won't you wake up ?
What's the matter, Chiba ? You look troubled.
I'm opposed to the establishment of the Jamming Birds at this point in time.
Wasn't it your idea to use the Sound Boosters to increase the number of singing units ?
Yes, but of the ten that passed the second audition...
...not one of them will be able to use the Sound Boosters.
Right now, Basara and his group are the only ones who can affect the enemy with song.
The military is overconfident because of Fire Bomber's success with them.
It's a big mistake if they think just anyone can be as effective as Basara.
Lt Chiba, don't speak so freely !
Colonel Barton.
You are one of the promoters of this project.
You shouldn't be criticizing what you are trying to promote.
But...
Enough ! Even the superstar who saved Earth...
...Linn Minmei, was just a pop singer when she first debuted !
I watched her closely, from the beginning.
Gradually, as she sung, her singing gained more power...
...and eventually, she was so amazing, that she was able to stop the war.
Everyone has potential.
It is the goal of this project to realize that potential.
Don't talk as though you've given up on the project from the beginning !
I apologize, sir.
Chiba.
Be careful in the future.
The Colonel was a member of Project M, of which Sound Force is a part.
Now that he has been given full authority over the Jamming Birds...
...it's not surprising that it's affecting him like this.
Chiba, be careful he doesn't steal the credit you deserve.
There's not much chance of that with this project.
Who are you ?
What ?!
You have ignored Colonel Barton's repeated orders to report.
You will come with us.
Get your hands off of me !
Are you going to resist us ?
Keep your pants on. I'm not going to run.
I just wanted your hands off of me.
So, where are you gonna take me ?
Quiet down. We're not here to play games.
Basara, you've finally agreed to come.
I have a big job for you.
A big job ?
These ten have made it past difficult auditions to become Jamming Birds.
I would like you to choose six people.
I want you to be a part of the judging of the final six and to give instruction in music.
I can't give musical instruction. I refuse.
Basara, this is an order from United Forces headquarters !
I can't do what I can't do !
Sound Force is under United Forces authority !
You're a member of the United Forces !
I never agreed to that.
Damn you ! You're a member of the United Forces !
Why don't you ever attack the enemy ?!
What's with you ?
Sound Force is a unit whose purpose is to confuse and scatter the enemy.
Then we can attack and destroy them while they're confused !
So why don't you ever do that ?
That's not why I sing !
Aren't you concerned about the safety of the Macross 7 Fleet ?!
You guys don't have a clue about my music, do you ?
What ?
If you want to establish the Jamming Birds, that's up to you.
It's got nothing to do with me !
Wait, Basara !
Let him go !
But...
Annoying brat !
I'll show him what happens when you go against the military !
Hey, what do you think you're doing ?!
I'm taking it in for routine maintenance.
Wait a minute ! What's this all about ?
Colonel Barton's orders.
Colonel Barton ?
Where are you taking it ?
The military maintenance facility.
Sir, the loading is complete.
Ray ?
Right, let's go.
Our United Forces' project team has made it to this day after going through many trials.
The first musical combat unit, the Jamming Birds, has finally been formed !
This was only possible because of your support.
To fight for justice and protect the peace of the Macross 7 Fleet...
...it is my hope that we will be able to form new units of Jamming Birds.
I look forward to your future support in ensuring the success of this project.
Basara defeated the enemy with his singing !
You are a member of the United Forces !
What's the matter, don't you want to go to the reception ?
I know how you feel, but try not to aggravate the military too much.
Basara, you've been singing with all your heart, until now.
But it's up to the listeners to make what they will of it.
You might not be happy with it, but it's still a fact.
Maybe it's worthwhile to think a little about why you've been singing...
...and why you're going to keep singing.
All right ?
Hi, Akiko.
You're in a good mood, Mr. Suzuki.
Call me Honey !
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, let me introduce you to the Jamming Birds !
By the way, my agency is going to be managing the Jamming Birds.
Oh, good for you.
We compete on ability.
We can't depend on random chance like you do.
Just you wait, before you know it, the Jamming Birds will be so popular...
...they'll knock Fire Bomber right off the charts.
Bye.
Looks like you two are up to it again.
Jamming Birds, huh ?
I just hope they're as effective as everyone hopes.
Yes.
I have mixed feelings about this.
The military did this because they recognized our effectiveness.
You don't like that ?
We don't do it because we want to destroy the enemy.
And I don't want to see their young lives lost in vain.
You're right.
Mylene !
Have you forgotten me ? I'm Docker, the leader of Emerald Force.
I was waiting for you the other day.
Our date ?
If you don't reply, that means you agree. You have to keep your promises.
That's not...
Gamlin !
Mylene !
Hey, Gamlin.
See you later.

This is your first sortie, be careful !
Thanks.
Jamming Birds ready for launch !
I can't wait to sing !
It's all right, we can take the impact !
Hurry up and sing !
What're you doing ?! Hurry and sing !
Ray, what about Basara ?
Let's go.
You said you couldn't wait, so sing !
Randy, even if it's only us, we have to sing !
I won't let you kill those pretty girls !
Let's do this right !
The city pounds with life 24 hours a day.
Tonight, tonight !
Why isn't Basara here ?
Why am I fighting ?
I did it !
The same trick again ? There's no beauty !
Completely demolish the enemy ! Completely demolish the enemy !
The beauty of destruction !
Demolish the enemy...
Why ? Didn't they return to their senses ?
The power of my mind control is the ultimate beauty of amplification !
What's Basara up to ?
Give my Valkyrie back !
It's still under maintenance.
It can't be released without the Colonel's permission.
Let go ! Let go of me !
Get out of the way, Basara !
Basara, take the Valkyrie out !
Gamlin.
What're you waiting for ?! Get moving !
Bomber !
Gamlin, I owe you big for this.
Sing, sing !
You have to sing ! What're you doing, Jamming Birds ?!
Sing and confuse the enemy ! Sing, quickly !
Sound Force... It's Basara !
He's arrived !
Basara !
Now ! Launch Sound Booster unit one !
No matter what you do...
...no matter what you think...
...you can't stop me from singing !
It's just a repetitive technique.
There's not even a hint of beauty there !
What's going on ? This isn't the usual Anima Spiritia !
This is not the ultimate beauty, it's the beauty of anger !
Basara !
It seems it was too early to go ahead with the Jamming Birds after all.
No.
Even Sound Force got to where they are today after many failures.
Just because of this failure, there's no need to give up.
The members of Jamming Birds weren't able to sing on the battlefield.
They will have to go through the basic training needed to survive on the battlefield.
I expected that there would be struggles.
Basara, what's up with you ?
He's trying to figure out exactly what singing is.
Let him keep singing like this.
