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.

\C5Macross 7 is a giant emigrant fleet...
\C5...which set out into the galaxy in search of habitable planets.
However, space is an unpredictable environment.
Seven years after leaving Earth...
...they were attacked by an unknown enemy, and City 7 was separated from the fleet.
The enemy attacks to destroy...
...but their true purpose is to steal human spiritual energy, or ``Spiritia.''
This terrible enemy leaves its victims comatose and retreats to an unknown place.
Furthermore, Sivil, an even more vicious enemy, has appeared and infiltrated City 7.
Sivil heard the singing of Fire Bomber's Nekki Basara and appeared to be in pain.
She became curious about a powerful spiritia known as Anima Spiritia.
Dangerous Kiss
I'm tired.
Let's just get this cleaned up.
Hey, what's wrong ?!
Normal spiritia.
Good morning, music fans of City 7.
It's time for ``Morning Sound.''
Here's some hot news.
The extremely popular new group, Fire Bomber, is beginning work on a new album.
They're so popular, the fans must be anxious !
Anima Spiritia !
Wrong.
No.
Not that one.
No good.
There !
That one !
I want them to be able to concentrate during recording, so refuse all press coverage.
I understand.
This is an important time for Fire Bomber, so let's all stay focused.
All right.
Akiko, we're about ready for a test run.
Akiko...
Oh, yeah, I was going to a recording test.
What ?
Your rhythm is slow, Basara ! We're playing 1/8 time here !
The notes aren't just symbols, they're a matter of heart.
It's irritating when you play things just any way you like !
Stop whining, and just play along with me.
What're you talking about ?!
What do you think, Akiko ?
Well...
...why don't you play along with Basara ?
That's okay, isn't it ?
But...
Let's just give Basara's way a try.
Where the heck is Paul ?
Didn't he come to get you a while ago, Akiko ?
I haven't seen him.
He's probably off taking a nap somewhere.
What a guy.
Shall we get started ?
{Nijyuu yo jikan ugomeku machi wo.} The city pounds with life 24 hours a day.
{tonight, tonight.} Tonight, tonight !
{kakenukeru.} I'm charging on through.
{Hijyou kaidan hitomi no mure ga} In the crowd of eyes on the fire escapes I see above...
{sign of the times, sagashiteru} Sign of the times ! They're searching for it too...
{Me ga kuramisou na aoi daiya mo...} A blue diamond that dazzles the eyes...
{Glass ni kawatte shimau.} ...will turn to glass.
{ Ki wo tsukero.} Baby, watch your step !
What is this strange feeling ?
We'll be ready to launch in five hours, after resupply.
That's too late ! Do you hear me ?!
If you aren't finished in three hours, I'll give you something to regret !
Commander Gigil, it's Lord Gepelnitch.
Gepelnitch, eh ?
Commander Gigil has attacked the samples again without permission.
He is currently making preparations for another attack.
I would like to acquire the samples without harming them.
Keep an eye on him.
Yes, sir.
You called for me, my lord ?
From now on I will give my orders to this one.
Gigil, you must obey him.
Let's break for lunch.
Mylene, you have a visitor.
Gamlin !
Recording must be hard work.
Thank you !
Here's a little something. Share it with the staff.
Thanks.
My mom must have been strict as a pilot instructor.
I'll say. She wouldn't permit a single mistake.
Many new pilots were told they had no talent, and were forced to quit.
I can just see it.
Is Mayor Miria strict at home, too ?
To the point where it's a nuisance.
I can just see it.
It's more powerful than I imagined.~~I like it.
Mayor, you shouldn't fly something as dangerous as this yourself.
It's the mayor's job to protect the citizens.
Besides, I'm the only one who has the skill to pilot this.
B...but...
Hey, repaint it red...
...so it'll be more eyecatching !
But this is a military...
It's all right.
Did I surprise you ?
There are some things that surprise even you, Basara.
Can...I help you with something, Akiko ?
I just wanted to talk.
With me ?
Of course, is there anyone else here ?
Well, no.
Right ?
What is it you wanted to talk about ?
It's nothing that formal.
For instance, where did you meet Ray ?
Huh ? You don't know ?
You know he doesn't talk about things like that.
Well, that's true...
You're like that, too.
You don't talk.
Is that right ?
Yes.
It's similar somehow.
What is ?
You and Ray, you're so similar.
Why're you looking at me like that ?
Geez !
Nekki Basara ! You're such a...!
I'm such a what ?!
Basara ?
What's wrong ?
Akiko, you're stepping on my hot dog.
Currently, we intend to focus all of our efforts on locating City 7.
Take a look at the monitor.
As it says in the materials I sent you, this is the man we captured in City 7.
Surprisingly, he's a human from Earth...
...and a member of the unit sent to investigate the 4th planet in the Varauta System.
Take a look at the next graphic.
It's of the appearance of a new enemy...
...which we think is a body of energy which moves faster than the speed of light.
A body of energy which moves faster than the speed of light ?
Is it the enemy's new weapon ?
We can't jump to conclusions.
Protodeviln.
Then, what is it ?
There's no sense in sitting back with our arms folded.
I would like to propose sending a unit to the 4th planet in the Varauta System.
It's decided then.
There's something at Varauta.
I can't believe it !
Last time it was a biker named Rex !
Another woman, also ?
What a scoundrel !
He goes after anyone he can get his hands on !
That's the kind of man Basara is. That should be clear now !
You should have nothing to do with someone so insincere !
He made a pass at you too, didn't he ?
Not at me...
That's fortunate.
He's just a playboy, through and through.
He doesn't care about deep feelings.
Between men and women, once there's love, there should be...
How do I say it...
Is that the way it is for you, Gamlin ?
Well, love is...
Anyway, you should have nothing to do with Basara !
I agree !
Just what hole did you crawl out of ?!
I'm not a bug.
Pretty similar.
What can I say...
It's none of your business ! Stay out of it !
Mylene, we're getting started.
Okay !
See ya later, Gamlin.
It's comforting to have someone like you on our side.
Y...yeah.
Hey, Ray, isn't Akiko acting a little strange today ?
Now that you mention it...
What's wrong ? Are you feeling a little ill ?
What ?~~Why ?
Oh, it's nothing.
Oh, you're concerned about me ?
Let's listen to the test run.
{Nijyuu yo jikan ugomeku machi wo.} The city pounds with life 24 hours a day.
{tonight, tonight.} Tonight, tonight !
{kakenukeru.} I'm charging on through.
{Hijyou kaidan hitomi no mure ga} In the crowd of eyes on the fire escapes I see above...
{sign of the times, sagashiteru} Sign of the times ! They're searching for it too...
Akiko !
Akiko ?
Are you alright ?
I'm alright.
Have something cold to drink.
Thanks.
Maybe you're tired.
I'm fine.
Oh, good !~~I don't know what we'd do if you became ill right now.
I'm alright.
Say, Akiko...
What ?
Can I ask you something ?
Go ahead.
Um... Well...
How should I say it...
When Basara was...
Akiko, Basara was on top of you, um, well...
What am I saying ? See ya !
Little nuisance.
Sivil, I've come for you !
Commander Gigil, please wait.
Lord Gepelnitch has not given such orders.
Shut up !~~I haven't come here to do battle !~~I'm looking for Sivil !
But...
You, shut up !
Who did a thing like this ?
Neat, huh ?
Do you like it ?
Mayor !
Let's launch, Gamlin.
Mayor, you aren't qualified in a VF-17 !
What're you talking about ? Come on.
I'll show you what a real dogfight is.
D1 to D2. Formation F. Don't be late.
Mayor, wait !~~I'm Diamond Force. Please follow my orders.
I was your instructor !
That was long ago. As a member of the Diamond Force, I have...
I can't believe you can say that after you destroyed my favorite plane.
Well, as far as that's concerned, I've apologized many times.
I'm the mayor. Just follow my orders.
You must follow military protocol !
Just make sure you don't get in my way !
Commander Gigil, you said there would be no combat.
Shut up !~~The enemy showed up, so I'm chasing them away !
Sorry to keep you waiting !
You'll get in the way ! Just go flirt with your girlfriends !
You playboy !
What's that all about ?
If you do anything to Mylene, I won't let you get away with it !
This is combat, what're you arguing about ?
Talking about Mylene !
It's a private matter.
I won't let anyone stop me from singing !
They're at it again.
Spiritia.
Commander Gigil, please stop. You are disobeying Lord Gepelnitch.
Shut up. I know.
As long as you understand.
Don't give me orders !
Commander Gigil, why ?
He tried to desert when faced with the enemy. Deserters deserve death !
Yes, sir !
Gamlin, enemy ship at 5 o'clock !
I know !
I'll shoot them all down !
Mayor, you're too close !
This is how you dogfight. Watch closely, Gamlin !
Mayor !
What the hell ?! With just two fighters ?!
Listen to my song !
Is it true ?
Yes, sir. Commander Gigil fired himself.
Gigil doesn't seem to understand.
Nice work.
Mayor, you were impressive, but please don't go out fighting too often.
I would have destroyed them all myself without your help.
Mom, did Gamlin save you ?
Thanks for saving Mom. She's rather stubborn.
No, I just did my duty.
It must really burn her up that you saved her.
Our voices synchronize just like falling in love and kissing.
My heart is always here for you.
But, oh! I wonder what your shining eyes are searching for ?
Oh, my friends !
I'm going to run with you toward a star where our dreams are.
When we look at each other everything will become real.

\C5Macross 7 is a giant emigrant fleet...
\C5...which set out into the galaxy in search of habitable planets.
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.
But, seven years after leaving Earth...
...they were attacked by an unknown enemy, and City 7 was separated from the fleet.
Then, a vicious enemy named Sivil entered City 7.
In addition to putting the citizens in danger...
...Sivil has possessed the body of music producer Hojo Akiko...
...and she is going after Nekki Basara.
Maximillian Jenius, the captain of Battle 7...
...is showing strain from repeatedly failing to rescue City 7.
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 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 find the accurate location of City 7.
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.
{Nijyuu yo jikan ugomeku machi wo.} The city pounds with life 24 hours a day.
{tonight, tonight.} Tonight, tonight !
{kakenukeru.} I'm charging on through.

{mitsukedase....} ...coming out to me.
Basara...
Raise the vocal track !
Right !
More !
It'll crack if it goes any higher.
More !
If you say so.
Is this really the way you want it ?
Excuse me. Keep working.
There's a love that's worth...
Transmission to all ships. We are about to begin investigative maneuvers.
All communication 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 !~~~~~~~~~~\C5Sorry !
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 have destroyed 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, do 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 at 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.
Come on, 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 !~~~~~~~~~\C5Roger !
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 !
Our voices synchronize just like falling in love and kissing.
My heart is always here for you.
But, oh! I wonder what your shining eyes are searching for ?
Oh, my friends !
I'm going to run with you toward a star where our dreams are.
When we look at each other everything will become real.
