[narrator] The Macross 7 fleet is
currently on Planet Lux.
MACROSS 7 FLEE
PLANET LUX
Normally, when an emigration fleet
in search of a habitable planet
finds what they're looking for, they'll
survey it and then land on the surface.
MACROSS 5 FLEE
METROPOLIS SHIP
Each of the massive residential ships,
like the metropolis ship
FACTORY SHIP
the factory ship and the resort ship,
will then proceed
with developing the planet.
MILKY ROAD
The domestic cars that were used
to travel the Milky Road in space
can also run on both land and water
CITY 7 MAYOR, MILIA F. JENIUS
so civilians can still travel
between the residential ships
MYLENE F. JENIUS
without disruption to their lifestyle.
And if the natural habitat of the planet
is compatible with human requirements,
then residential ships will be able to
open their domes and take in air directly.
MACROSS 7 FLEET COMMANDER,
MAXIMILIAN JENIUS
But Macross 7 is on Planet Lux
GIGIL
not for colonization, but because
it was forced there by the enemy.

Check out the Galaxy Sports!
"Is Basara Nekki the second
coming of Lynn Minmay?"
Let me see.
"Awakening the minds
of brainwashed Zentradi,
is exactly what Lynn Minmay did."
Silly, right? That's just preposterous.
If you know it's stupid, then don't
buy Galaxy Sports in the first place!
Well, it's entertaining, okay?
Oh, brother.
All right, let's start the rehearsal.
SCANDAL OF PASSION
Chief, you called?
There you are, Janet.
This topic's hot!
They tell me we're up 25% in sales!
Congratulations, sir.
Now everyone's scrambling
to boost their sales
by doing Basara Nekki articles!
-We gotta stay competitive!
-Got it, sir.
[chief] I'm counting on you, Janet!
From now on, your articles
-will always be the front-page splash!
-You can count on me, sir.
[phone beeps]
It's me.
I'm running that photo.
Yes, tomorrow's article.
If you have any more, sell them to me.
I'll make it worth your while.
What is this, milord?
We still don't have
enough Spiritia to revive you.
Lord Gepelnitchi?
Y-You're reviving Valgo?
[Valgo] Gavil. You want something from me?
I want nothing from the likes of you!
[Valgo] Then who is it that awakened me?
[Gepelnitchi] It was I.
I reside in this vessel now.
[Valgo gasps] Those eyes.
Lord Gepelnitchi!
But why revive me before yourself?
-I saw a glimpse of you in my dream.
-[Valgo] A dream?
Between the distant twinkling
of the stars,
it flickers in and out of existence.
A dozing dream of slumber,
like those sung by wandering minstrels.
[Valgo] If you need my service,
I am always ready to comply.
[grunts]
[Basara] in my heart ♪
I want to see you ♪
So I can share this loneliness ♪
I keep calling out to you ♪
At the top of my voice ♪
In my dreams I saw a rainbow ♪
Reflected in your beautiful eyes ♪

Basara Nekki's secret date
caught on camera!
So, they're together. I just knew it!
-[journalist 1] Yo, hurry up!
-Are you certain he's here?
Maybe your info's wrong?
[journalist 2] There's no mistake.
Make sure you get the photo.
[journalists chattering continues]
[journalist 6] Cameraman, over here.
Oh, jeez. It's a circus out here.
And I came all this way
to ask him the truth.
-[squeals]
-No big deal. I know just the thing.
Yo, you made it.
Where's Basara?
I haven't seen him since this morning.
Another disappearing act?
Yeah.
He's run off to Rex. That's gotta be it.
Rex?
Hey, you muckrakers! All you do
is make up shit in your articles!
-You're dead meat!
-Rex
[motorcycle engines revving]
Janet, they tell me our sales are up 200%!
That's good to hear, sir.
[Ray] "The Lewd Private Life
of a Scandalous Hero."
That was quick. The other day, they were
calling him the second coming of Minmay.
What Michael said must be true.
That Basara's such a piece of trash!
When was this photo taken, though?
Rex hasn't been here lately.
Well, the article did say
it was a secret date.
I suppose so.
[chief] I'm impressed you were
able to get a photo like this.
It's actually a photo from some time back.
I got it off of a certain someone.
Doesn't matter. Truth and facts
could be fed to pigs, for all I care.
Just keep investigating Basara Nekki
for things like this.
Understood, sir.
-[Rex] Stop.
-[motorcyclist] Rex!
There's no point in throwing a fit.
[motorcyclist] But
Whoa, Basara!
Rex is right, you know.
Basara.
[shutter clicking]
-[Rex] You coming?
-Yeah.
[shutter clicking]
[sighs] This won't cut it.
I need something better
for tomorrow's front page.
[exclaims]
[gasps]
Madam Mayor, these are for you.
What are all these letters?
Citizen complaints.
Again?
Well, there are three fewer letters
compared to last time.
Get them out of my sight.
[phone rings]
[Milia] Yes, Mayor's Office.
Michael, it's for you.
Oh, yes. Pardon me, ma'am.
Michael here.
[grunts]
You fool! Don't you know better
than to call me here?
Anyway, I'm busy at the moment.
I'll call you later!
Sorry for that, ma'am.
-Who was it?
-Just somebody I know.
You okay?
What?
Things have gotten pretty crazy lately.
You'd think everyone's
got a fever or something.
-I'm sorry about this.
-What? About what?
-[Rex] You sure you want to get off here?
-Yep.
[Rex] So, who's the lucky girl?
I guess you can call her Sleeping Beauty.
[Rex] Don't go breaking too many hearts,
or you might regret it.
I'll try not to.
[robot 1] Planet Sports! Planet Sports!
Shocking truth revealed!
Basara's father is ex-U.N. Spacy
Valkyrie pilot Hikaru Ichijo!
[robot 2] Star Sports! Star Sports!
Star Sports!
Major testimony confirms Basara Nekki
to be Lynn Minmay's illegitimate son!
BASARA
MATASHITEMO
Galaxy Sports! Galaxy Sports!
Basara is the child of Hikaru Ichijo
and Lynn Minmay!
[drumming]
Come on, Basara,
which one of these is the truth?
Man,
why are you coming to me with
these tabloids every single day?
Well, because I subscribed to them.
Okay, you're officially beyond help.
All the other gossip rags
are writing about you too, you know?
The diaries of your ex-girlfriends
and stuff just keep popping up.
This article in Galaxy Seven
says you practiced asceticism
deep in the mountains of India.
Oh, brother.
They sure can spin a tale.
So, which one of these is true?
You dummy.
[door closes]
Ray, you know a bit
about Basara's past, right?
Nope. Not at all.
I wonder what he was doing
before I met him.
Can't anybody get it together around here?
[journalists] Mr. Basara!
Mr. Basara, can you comment
on the recent articles about you?
[sighs]
LET'S GO straight on through
To the daybreak we dreamt of ♪
-Get in!
-Thanks.
[music playing on radio]
You're the reporter
from Galaxy Sports, right?
Yes, I am.
And I have a lot of questions to ask you.
Tell me everything about your past.
I want to know.
I want to write about the real you.
The real me?
[Janet] That's right.
It's right here.
-What?
-I am the real me.
Then since the real you
is here right now, tell me.
Why do you go to the Botanical Plant?
-What?
-Let me guess.
You're going on secret dates
with Mylene Jenius!
[grunts]
Let's see.
-No way!
-[squeals]
[groans, inhales deeply]
Michael! What is this article?
[Michael] Uh, my apologies, ma'am.
-I figured they were an item.
-[grunts]
Well! That's ridiculous.
What the heck? Why me?
Why not Veffidas? She's a girl too!
Miss Mylene! How far have you gone
with Mr. Basara?
[journalist 2] What line did Basara use
to hit on you, Miss Mylene?
[journalist 3] May we have
a comment please?

Thank you, sir. It's an honor.
It's finally time to move forward
with Project M.
We'll make more Sound Boosters,
and get more music units started.
You're saying we should
expand Sound Force?
Sound Force is but a test.
We have to shape it into
what it was intended to be.
[grunts]
-You got 'em, Basara!
-Got them?
Y-Yeah. I mean, you got them, right?
You took out the enemy
with your song, right?

My music is not a weapon
for killing people!
Killing people?
What are you talking about?
Those things were monsters, not people!
[Ray] Basara.
[chief] You quit?
What is this?
I just thought I'd pay more attention
to what's real.
[chief] What do you mean "real"?
Just listen to Basara's song
and you'll understand.
Hey, Janet!
Damn. Oh, well.
Guess I'll have to think of something
for the evening edition now.
Here, another batch of Basara photos.
But don't tell the mayor, okay?
I don't need them anymore. I quit my job.

Bye, big brother!
