When I look up at the purple panorama ♪
The galactic highway ♪
A SHOOTING STAR pierces my heart ♪

Palely shimmering, SEVENTH MOON ♪
I'm just looking for an answer ♪

[music stops]
This is D2. This is D2.
Object discovered.
I'm bringing it back now.
-We're building up fold energy?
-["PLANET DANCE" playing]
We'd like to do something crazy.
No! Help!
What the hell are you doing?
I'm coming up with a backup plan.
[Basara] To stop a machine,
all you have to do is punch it!
No way!
[assistant] We folded again so suddenly,
but it seems the citizens aren't aware
of how grave the situation is.
[Milia] That's fortunate.
And communications with Battle 7?
We can't reach them at all.
We're currently trying to pinpoint
our coordinates,
but we're experiencing difficulties
due to a dimensional disturbance.
All right. Keep trying.
How are the repairs
to the Fold System going, Madam Mayor?
We're doing our best here as well.
I must say, that Basara Nekki
To think he bashed in the computer
A fine mess he got us into.
It was an emergency.
We shouldn't blame it all on him.
Ouch, that burns!
[blowing]
FIGHTING WOMAN MAYOR MILIA
[soldier] So this is Spiritia Anomaly
Code C, the one who hindered the fold.
[operator] Yes.
[soldier] What is the probability
of him affecting the mission?
[operator] 99%.
[soldier] What is the status
on the underground power facility?
[operator 2] Repairs on the Fold System
are approximately 20% complete.
[soldier] We'll take back the facility
once the Fold System is repaired.
-Prepare to attack.
-[operator 2] Understood.
[soldier] The secondary team
will track down Spiritia Anomaly Code C.
-You are to kill him on sight.
-[operator 2] Understood.
Basara, we got a new gig.
When?
-A week from now.
-Where?
A place called Silver Paradise
in Macross City sector 5.
Silver Paradise?
Never heard of it.
Is it a new club or something?
Beats me.
So, I put together a set list.
Take a look.
[Mylene] We did it! We did it!
Hey!
-Did you hear?
-[Ray] What?
"PLANET DANCE."
It's eighth on the City 7 music chart.
[Basara] Okay.
Eighth, huh? Not bad.
Right? It's rising super fast.
It's probably because of
"The Lynn Minmay Story."
The ratings for that show were 94%.
So, what? What's wrong with that?
You're not happy we have a hit song?
I'm saying it ain't just
about climbing the charts.
-Like always, you just don't get it.
-What are you talking about?
You're the one who doesn't get it.
Why can't you just be happy for once?
You're a grouch. A grouch! A grouch!
Whatever.
Damn it, man.
Doesn't she have anything better to do?
[Basara] This is ridiculous.
Why's a gig scheduled for next week
being moved to today?
They seem to be in a hurry.
They have stuff to deal with too.
Well, we have stuff we have to deal with
when putting on a concert.
Come on, don't say that.
The pay for this gig ain't bad,
so we accommodate.
Maybe it's time we hire someone
to manage our schedule.
Don't you think?
I'd love to, but we don't have the money.
That's right.
We'll just have to
make do ourselves for now.
Know your place, kid, okay?
What? You know I'm right. All we can do
for now is work through this.
Damn it, you just don't get it.
They can't just call us out of the blue
and expect us to perform.
Concerts aren't that easy.
We're Fire Bomber. We do a good job
even under bad conditions, right?
Damn it.
Well, we should be thankful
for even getting a gig.
That's right, you should be thankful
for even getting a gig.
Yeah, yeah, keep on yapping.
-Get lost.
-[Ray] There it is.
Good morning!
Howdy.
[people chattering]
What is this place?
It's like a hospital.
[resident 1]
Don't take it from the bottom.
-You shouldn't put the tea in the fridge.
-[resident 3] Well, yes.
-[resident 4] There, take a look.
-[resident 5] Oh, that's nice.
Yo, they're all old.
[Ray] Of course.
It's a home for the elderly.
-What?
-[Mylene] Home for the elderly?
And they seem to have
a lot of retired veterans.
Wait, don't tell me
we're playing a concert here?
This is Silver Paradise.
-This place?
-No way.
-Ray, you knew this all along.
-What?
What's the matter?
They said they want to hear us play.
That's nice to hear,
no matter what their age is.
Well, I never said
I didn't want to do this.
All right! Let's do this!
-[resident] You must be Mylene.
-What? Oh, yes.
I saw you in "The Lynn Minmay Story."
You were great!
So cute!
Thank you.
I need to ask you a favor.
Will you take a picture with me?
Okay.
Mr. Manager, if you please.
Manager?
[chuckles]
[Basara] Okay, ready?
Whoa!
[resident 2] Peace.
[resident 3] Hey, I want one, too.
I got good teeth, see?
-Thank you.
-It's nothing.
Me too! Me too!
[Mylene chuckles]
Ah, the pictures look great.
[resident] Take a look.
I took this with Lynn Minmay 35 years ago.
It's precious to me,
and I will treasure this one as well.
Thank you.
Fire!
[crowd] Whoa!
Yay!
A true classic will forever be sung.
Transcending age and gender,
it endures the test of time.
That's what we strive for
with Fire Bomber's music.
All right, you grandpas and grannies,
let's go! "PLANET DANCE"!
[crowd cheering] Yay!
Okay, let's get started SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
How you feelin'? ♪
[Max] I see. You came up short.
I'm so sorry, sir.
No, you and Diamond Force
are not at fault.
Sir.
Thank you for your report. Dismissed.
-Captain.
-Yes?
Any new intel?
We're looking into it the best we can.
But we haven't found anything yet.
I see.
All we can do now
is pray for their safety.
Yes.
OH! MY FRIENDS ♪
I run with you ♪
Towards a world
Where our dream goes on ♪
If we look into each other's eyes
See? ♪
Everything will come true ♪
[person on TV] Hikaru's Valkyrie,
with Lynn Minmay still inside,
-was suddenly surrounded by enemy forces.
-Lt. Gamlin.
[Gamlin] Yes?
I've come to request
that we recalibrate the fold boosters.
[Gamlin] Of course.
They seem to have stumbled
upon the enemy during their trek.
Lieutenant, is there something wrong?
[Gamlin] No.
I'll be going then.
-Say, Physica.
-Yes, sir?
-Women.
-"Women", sir?
Yes.
When a woman lies,
-what's going through her mind?
-What?
You should be able to hear me.
This is Milia Farina.
Let's say a certain woman
is a singer in a rock band,
but she's hiding that fact
from the man she's dating.
What do you think her motive is?
Well, I'm not really sure.
But I think the woman
probably doesn't love the man?
If a woman loves a man, she'll
She'll what?
Tell him everything.
Keep nothing a secret from him.
I read that in a book once.
Is that true?
I don't really know,
but it was written in a book.
[Gamlin] I see.
SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
How you feelin'? ♪
[Physica] It's "PLANET DANCE." Great song.
Can you feel the beat? ♪
-[Gamlin] I wouldn't be so sure.
-What?
-For example, maybe it was like this.
-Okay.
Let's say there's an unscrupulous person
in the woman's band.
She is ashamed of this,
so she couldn't tell the man
that she was in this band.
Because she likes him, she has to hide
the shady part of her life from him.
And that's why she lied.
That's really something, Lt. Gamlin!
Your observation on female behavior
is very sharp indeed.
But wait, maybe that's just
wishful thinking on my
I mean, on the man's part
because he was lied to.
[Basara, Mylene]
Head towards the light ♪
Well, if you'll excuse me, sir.
Oh, of course.
A SAD SONG of resignation ♪
This is not good.
[music playing]
Docker has made a lot of progress.
Seems like it.
The soldiers who were attacked
in previous battles
are slowly showing
signs of recovery as well.
I see.
But, why is that being played in the ward?
It's "The Lynn Minmay Story."
I know what it is.
I have a feeling that their recovery
might be linked to that video,
especially the songs in it.
That's why I'm playing it.
What? What do you mean?
Come to my room tonight and I'll show you.
HEY, EVERYBODY ♪
[beeping]
-[rings]
-[doctor] Come in.
Yo. I've been waiting for you.
[Lynn Minmay] He's more in love ♪
With his plane than he is with me ♪
What's with this room?
Come on, take a seat.
What's going on?
Just relax, okay? You'll know soon enough.
Hey! What is this?
This a groundbreaking system
that can measure
psychological flux instant by instant.
Stress, excitement, all the emotions.
Wait. What
Don't worry.
It's just a machine
that responds to human emotions.
It reads the inner fluctuations
of the mind
caused by the slightest outside
stimulation, and quantifies them.
What are you talking about?
Calm down.
This will be the revolutionary treatment
those patients need to recover.
Now, let's get started.
[apparatus whirring]
-Hey! Chiba!
-[Chiba] Start.
[Basara]
Okay, let's get started SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
[screaming]
How you feelin'? ♪
Ever since I was little, I've wondered
just what was so special
about Lynn Minmay?
Chiba! Please stop!
-And I developed a theory.
-[groaning]
About the existence of a type of energy.
I've spent years developing a device
to monitor and make use of this energy.
And now, these incidents should prove
my research results to be true.
If my theory is validated, the Galactic
Nobel Prize will be within my reach.
[grunting]
The name of the thesis shall be
"A Study of the Psychological Effects
and Recuperative Use of Music."
[screaming]
[Chiba] This is
That's odd. He's rejecting it.
This shouldn't be happening.
So, my system is still incomplete.
I don't care about that! Just turn it off!
[screams]
Ray, please don't tell me this next gig
is for old people again.
Don't worry.
The promoter said the audience
is all young people.
They would especially like to see you
perform in Battroid mode.
What?
Don't tell me they've got
the wrong idea about me too?
-That's a hard pass for me, man.
-Why are you complaining?
You go out there all the time
with no rhyme or reason!
Not true. I have my reasons, okay?
If someone wants to see you do it,
just do it.
I didn't say I'm not gonna do it.
I'm gonna give them a real show,
like always.
[Mylene] Then just say so from the start.
[operator] It's him.
Spiritia Anomaly Code C and his team
are traveling at location point 35.
[soldier] Deploy immediately
and eliminate the nuisance.
What?
We're singing here?
-[children chattering]
-[child 1] Whoa, that's neat!
[child 2] Come on and sing!
Come on and sing!
Well, they are young.
Ray! Again?
Whoa, hold it.
This time I really had no idea.
I would've turned this down
if I knew they were all kids.
You better not be lying.
-Well
-You!
Ah, you're here.
We've already moved the thing here.
The thing?
[Basara exclaims]
The children are all looking forward
to your acrobatic flying, Mr. Basara.
-Acrobat what?
-Well, then.
-[Mylene] Hey!
-Yes?
We're not here to do an action show.
I think you're confused about what we are.
Of course not. I assure you
we want to hear you sing.
Ever since the TV broadcast
of "The Lynn Minmay Story,"
"PLARINETTE CHANCE" by the Fire Bombers
has been all the rage with the children.
Oh, jeez.
It's "PLANET DANCE" by Fire Bomber.
This guy just doesn't get it.
What? Did I get something wrong?
Everything! Your whole idea's wrong.
I'm not doing it.
Oh, but
[engines rumbling]
What?
-That's
-It's them!
[child] What?
[exclaims]
[engine powering up]
Now we're talking.
Time to make some noise!
-[children cheering]
-Yay!
Wow! Go get 'em! Cool!
Hi, everybody?
How are you all doing today? Good?
Yeah!
You know what good music is?
It's something
that can get people rockin'.
No matter whether you're a boy or a girl,
a grandpa or a grandma,
or even a cute baby!
