has seven large residential ships
with cityscapes inside where people
can live the way they did on Earth.
To ensure the safety of their journey
CITY 7 MAYOR, MILIA F. JENIUS
there are also large battleships
attached to each residential ship.

-Huh?
Hey, aren't you going to jump in?
We're already on the fifth song.
Basara!
You're zoning out.
You guys go ahead.
Where are you going?
We can't rehearse like this!
Just need to get some fresh air.
I can't stand this!
We finally become Sound Force,
now look at him!
Well, I guess he's got
his own problems too.
Basara? No way!
Yeah. Problems with love and stuff.
Love?
Ray, do you know something I don't?
-Well, no
-What?

[shrieks]
Lt. Gamlin Kizaki
of the 138th Fighter Squadron,
488th Special Assault Team, Diamond Force.
Having distinguished yourself
in the battle to defend City 7,
you are hereby promoted to
the rank of captain and warden of City 7,
directly under the mayor.
-Wha
-That will be all.
Sir, what is this?
It is as the orders say, Capt. Gamlin.
You are charged
with the defense of City 7.
And what do you mean by,
"directly under the mayor"?
The mayor requested it.
City 7 might become
separated from the fleet again,
so she wants a defense team
assigned directly to the city.
-And that's going to be me?
-Yes.
But my duties with Diamond Force
You say Diamond Force,
but Lt. Physica, or rather Capt. Physica,
who was posthumously promoted, was KIA.
Likewise, Capt. Kinryu's out of action,
with no signs of being able to return.
But who will protect Sound Force?
You need good pilots to
We have Capt. Docker's
Emerald Force for that.
They're equipped with
the latest VF-19 fighters.
[Docker] Yo, Gamlin.
Why the sour face, man?
No, it's
Ain't this dope?
Me and my team get
to work with Sound Force.
Congrats.
Man, it's way cool. Don't you know?
That Mylene from Fire Bomber
is charming as hell.
What a cutie!
Maybe I'll ask her out
for a drive next time.

Commander Kinryu
Sound Force's
authorized area of operations
is away from Point 008
so as not to interfere with Emerald Force.
We will give you instructions
every time you fly.
-All right.
-And about the set list.
We are analyzing all the data
we have right now
to determine which songs
are most effective.
-You will play through those songs.
-Isn't that overdoing it?
[officer]
You are now formally part of the military.
You will follow orders.
[sighs]
Speaking of which,
your front man seems to be late.
Oh, yes. He should be here any minute now.
You people need to be on time from now on!
If you listen to my song ♪
It's so easy ♪
Where were you? You need to be on time!
To intertwine our two hearts ♪
Basara, quit it!
We're in a meeting about the set list!
Stop goofing around!
So? What's the point
in discussing that anyway?
Just sing whenever you feel like it.
No, we're saying that this list
And shoot down all the ♪
Look at this list!
Shut up, man!
Music is about how you feel in the moment!
You fly out there and sing what you feel
in that moment, with fire in your heart!
No, that's not the way we
That's the only way!
How you feel in the moment is everything!
I'm not talking about that!
I'm saying according to the data
Well, come to think of it,
Basara might be right.
How about we leave it to him
this once and see how it goes?
But, Doctor!
Maybe it's more effective to have
an unbridled free spirit like this.
Doctor!
Thank you for your understanding, sir.
-Yo, you're pretty all right, Pops.
-[Chiba chuckles]
See ya, then.
What? You lost Sivil?
[soldier] Yes. We've lost contact with
the infiltration team.
What the hell?
[soldier]
Now, we don't know where Sivil went.
[Gigil] What are those idiots doing?
Damn it!
I'll go in and check it out myself!
[soldier] But Lord Gepelnitchi
Just ignore that narcissistic freak!
[knocks on door]
[Gamlin] Excuse me.
Come in.
I've been assigned
as the guardian of City 7.
Reporting for duty, ma'am.
Good.
Aside from emergencies, we'll need you
to do routine patrols of the city.
Patrols as well?
Of course. City 7's been infiltrated
by an unknown enemy, remember?
But I've always been a pilot
I'm well aware you've always been
an elite pilot for the military.
Then I have a request.
Please give me a recommendation
to be a member of Emerald Force.
That won't do.
Protecting City 7 is also
an important task as a soldier.
But, I
Now that you're directly working for
the mayor's office, I'm your boss.
From now on, you will follow my orders.
Gentlemen, you may come in now.
Let me introduce you.
These are our new recruits,
Dick and Morry.
I have asked them to join Diamond Force.
[both] At your service, sir.
At your service.
I'm so honored
to be flying with you, Capt. Gamlin!
Let's shoot down some bandits
and rack up some kills!
Right.
I'm sorry, Physica.
I'm the only one of us that's left.
And now, because of me,
Diamond Force has come to this.

[gasps]
Hi, Gamlin!
[spectators murmur]
What's the matter with Gamlin?
He must be in shock.
What?
From what I heard, he's been excluded
from the new elite Emerald Force.
What does that mean?
It means he's been taken off
the top position and put somewhere else.
Maybe to get rid of him.
But why?
Gamlin defended City 7 single-handedly!
All that effort!
That's not fair!
No point in getting mad at me.
That's how the military works.
Gamlin
-Gamlin!
-Mylene!
What?
It's already break time from rehearsal!
[gasps]
What the heck is this?
It's nothing, man.
Oh, brother. Gamlin's not the kind
to just bite down on an apple!
[music continues in distance]
[gasps]
It's very delicious, Miss Mylene.
Really? Great.
Miss Mylene, your song really touched me.
[gasps]
It made me realize that people
need music at a time like this.
It's nice, isn't it? Music
-[Mylene gasps]
-Mmm?
Here, I'd like you to have this.
Huh?
My parents bought me this
when I was little.
They said to rub it when you feel down.
-And things will be okay?
-[giggles]
It'll open up your future. It's magic.
-What?
-That's what I was told.
[giggles]
So, I rubbed it really hard.
But later, they said it was just
to cheer me up and laughed.
Wasn't that mean?
Well That's
But I kinda took a liking to it,
so I kept it all these years.
Now I'm giving it to you, Gamlin,
if you like.
Wh-Why me?
Why? Well, you're
a very serious person, right?
Not at all.
So I thought it'd be nice for you
to have something quirky like this.
Oh.
Well, see you later, then.
Oh, good luck with Sound Force!
Loosen up a little.
What? Oh
Remember, loosen it up!
Miss Mylene.
[device beeping]
I have to say, Macross 5 found themselves
a really good planet.
If there's water,
that should mean there's plant life.
Conventionally speaking, yes.
According to their report,
there's plenty of foodstuffs as well.
It's a dream planet!
When we get there,
you can all take some shore leave.
-[chuckles] Yes!
-[chuckles]
-[alarm beeping]
-[gasps]
[both gasp]
-[controller] Defold detected.
-What?
[laughs]
Sivil, where are you hiding?
I'm gonna find you!
-[alarm blaring]
-[citizen] What the heck?
[citizens clamor]
Let's go, guys!
Emerald Force, ready to launch!
Launch!
What about Sound Force?
They're deploying right now!
All right, let's get this thing started!

I race through a city ♪
TONIGHT TONIGHT ♪
Don't let any bandits near Sound Force,
got it?
[pilot on comms] Roger!

An emergency escape SIGN OF THE TIMES ♪
Let's go!
[screams]
He's pretty reckless.
Watch out ♪
Remember, Capt. Gamlin,
your mission is to defend the city.
That comes before all else.
I understand.
[Dick] D2 to D1.
Commander, we should join the fight
and shoot down some bandits.
D1 to D2, that kind of attitude
can get you killed. Watch yourself!
But flying around here won't
Our mission is to protect City 7!
Roger that.
[Basara] Some love you mustn't give up ♪
Even for the entire universe ♪
Sometimes you can't tell ♪
Hey, Basara, you're cutting it too close!
Mylene!
Oh, jeez!
Mylene! What are you doing?
Well, you charged in, so I
This isn't like being on stage!
Stop following me around!
Aren't we all playing this music together?
What?
Hey, this isn't the time
to be arguing, all right?
Mylene's messing up the tempo!
You're the one
who's refusing to play along!
Because you're trying too
hard to stick to me!
I'm not trying too hard!
I'm good at piloting!
Yeah? Then go play on your own!
I said stop it, okay?
Come on! Let's try it again!
-[Mylene on comms] Wait!
-What the hell are you doing?
I said wait, all right?
Ray, can I fight back?
No! Why do you think we're singing!
Don't you get it?
You say that, but
I got your back, Mylene.
[stutters] Thank you.
[sighs]
Come on, let's go!
I race through a city ♪
Stop going off on your own!
Stop interfering!
[groans]
[scoffs]
I guess I'll have to go among the samples,
and find Sivil myself!
[strains]
Bastard!
Don't let them enter the city!
[Dick on comms] Roger!
And don't damage City 7.
-Make that a priority.
-[Morry on comms] Roger.
TONIGHT TONIGHT that never sleeps ♪
You're getting in my way!
This is our sector!
We'll take it from here!
I've shot down seven bandits, okay?
[exclaims]
What are you doing?
Outta my way!
We're in charge of defending City 7!
You're not taking any more shots!
[grumbles]
D2 and D3, force the bandit to BX402!
[Dick, Morry] Roger.
[screams]
Okay! Now go straight into Y formation!

Even stunning blue diamonds will ♪
Turn into glass ♪
Good! Now, V follow-up!
Watch out ♪
Damn pests!
[strains]
We did it!
[song ends]
That was a mess!
You're the one who ruined everything!
Oh, yeah?
Sound Force isn't just you, you know?
Oh, is that right?
Don't gimme that!
Hey, what's the point in arguing here?
It was the worst performance of all time!
We have to rethink our formation!
[both scoff]
I guess they failed.
As experiments usually do, at first.
We need to be patient.
Well done, Capt. Gamlin.
Now I feel it's safe
to leave City 7 in your care.
Thank you, ma'am.
But I was just doing the job I was given.
[Milia] I asked Max for his best pilot,
and he didn't disappoint.
It's driving me crazy!
Nothing is going right!
We have no coordination at all.
At this rate, we'll be useless.
Jeez, it's so irritating!
This is actually pretty fun.
What?
Even though we're just going around
in circles, swinging up and down.
This is my first time on a
merry-go-round, you know?
It's kind of emotional for me, actually,
to know that such happy things
exist in this world.
Gamlin.
[grunts]
[gasps]
You know, it might really be true.
Good things may just happen
when you rub this.
So, I'll be rubbing it for you as well,
and wishing for good things for you too.
Gamlin.
