MACROSS 7 FLEE
is a giant emigration fleet traveling the
galaxy in search of a habitable planet.
Finding such a planet
to colonize in this vast universe
is a long and time-consuming journey,
and so the fleet has
seven large residential ships
with cityscapes, parks, rivers,
and hills inside
where people can live
as they did on Earth.
The residential ship at the center
of the fleet is called City 7,
and it is the political center
of the fleet as well.

Hello, it's time again for Coffee Break.
Today we're looking at the appeal of
the popular rock band Fire Bomber,
which has appeared like a comet,
and exploring the many mysteries
surrounding the band.
Our guests for today are
[crew member gasps]
[chuckles] Well, we're live,
so things happen.
Now, to introduce our guests for today
Fire Bomber's promoter, Ms. Akiko Hojo.
And music critic, Mr. Prisikovich.
Thank you for coming on the show today.
Now, let's go to Ms. Akiko first.
Can you tell us how
Fire Bomber was formed?
Well
[host] Is it true that for Ray, the leader
of the band, meeting Basara was
Oh, darn!
[TV chatter continues]
You little Here's your punishment!
[host 2] Ms. Akiko, the two of them
Oh, that's right,
Ray Loverock used to be
in the U.N. Spacy.
Let's take a look
at what kind of life did Ray lead
before his fateful encounter with Basara.
[presenter] In the year 2030,
the U.N. Spacy Valkyrie
squadron Pink Pecker
encountered remnant Zentradi forces
while returning from a training exercise.
Among the members of the squadron
was a young Ray Loverock.
Being an elite military pilot,
with a bright future ahead of him,
he fought the enemy Zentradi valiantly,
and was able to break
through their ranks and escape.
However
[gasps] Stefan!
[presenter] Lt. Stefan,
Ray's closest friend in the squadron,
was killed by the enemy
right before Ray's eyes.
Having lost a dear friend,
Ray became disenchanted with
the military, and resigned.
After that, everything he did felt empty.
He fell into depression,
and he wandered from place
to place with no purpose.
"What am I living for?
There's no point in life," he thought.
Ray's heart was in turmoil.
But, one day
[groans]
Ray met a young boy.
The boy was thin and frail.
It looked like he hadn't eaten for days.
I'll sing you a song,
so give me something to eat.
Okay, let's get started
SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
[presenter] And so, the boy began to sing.
He looked weary from his travels,
but when he sang,
-he had an unusual sparkle in his eye.
-[singing continues]
[presenter] What's even more amazing
is that the boy's song
had a strange power to it.
Let's get it back ♪
[presenter] Ray, who at the time
had lost his will to live,
felt mysteriously revived.
Listening to the boy's song,
a new hope began to spring forth
inside Ray's heart.
That boy was the young Basara.
And that was how Ray and Basara met.
What do you think
about the dramatization, Ms. Akiko?
Well, Ray's never told me the story
directly, so it's hard to say.
But, knowing them,
it seems a little too melodramatic.
Either way, it was Basara's music
that mended Ray's broken heart.
Ray was moved by Basara's sound,
and found hope in a life of music.
On the other hand, the young Basara
was saved by Ray, as well.
From then on, the two of them
lived together like family.
Really? Ray and Basara have been
living together since they met?
What happened after that?
Find out after the commercials!
[ringing]
Darn! What is it now?
Hey, Miho, are you watching TV?
What?
I'm talking about Coffee Break!
They've got an interesting show today.
Oh! Yes, I'm watching it!
I knew it. That's why I called.
How about we go to work early
tomorrow and check out the data?
What data?
What else is there?
The real reason Ray left the military,
of course.
[chuckles] That sounds like fun!
[humming]
Hey, Ray, Basara's not in his room.
You know where he went?
-Beats me.
-Jeez.
Just when I need to talk with him
about tomorrow's concert.
[host] Currently Fire Bomber consists of
their leader Ray, the two
vocalists Basara and Mylene,
and their drummer Veffidas.
But it has been a hard and
winding road to get to this point.
[hecklers] What's that stupid song?
That sucked!
[heckling continues]
Go away!
[presenter] Ray and the young Basara
continued to travel as musicians,
but they had a sound
that was so new, nobody would accept it.
They were met with boos
wherever they went.
For the young Basara,
it was a journey full of hardship.
But even worse, he was sad
that nobody understood his music.
Okay let's get started
SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
How you feelin'? ♪
LET'S STAND UP
Can you feel the beat? ♪
This is a flying paradise ♪
A half-forgotten energy ♪
NOW HURRY UP let's get ♪
-[children clamor]
-[child 1] Wow! It's a giant!
-[child 2] Yay!
-[child 3] Yay! [laughs]
-[crowd murmurs]
-[bystander] Wow, that's really something.
They're so big.
-[crowd gasps]
-Holy cow!
She's got good rhythm.
[presenter] Then and there, Ray saw that
the street performer Veffidas had talent,
just by how she moved.
But it would be another six months
before Veffidas would join the band.
[drumming continues]
[tires squeal]
[exclaims]
[crashing]
Ray!
-Ray!
-[sirens wailing]
Ray!
[presenter] It was an unfortunate
turn of events for the two.
Luckily, Ray's injuries weren't fatal,
but it took three months
for him to recover.
He was unable to perform for a while,
and what meager savings he had left
were spent on covering the medical bill.
Thinking of young Basara's future,
Ray decided to put him in an orphanage.
What?
Basara, this is goodbye.
You won't get anywhere traveling with me.
I want you to have a good life.
No! I don't want to say goodbye!
I want to stay with you, Ray!
I'll sing! I love singing!
Basara
[presenter]
Seeing the fire in Basara's eyes,
Ray realized his own folly.
Yes, it was as Basara said.
They'd come too far to throw it all away.
Ray was ashamed of himself, having
learned his lesson from young Basara.
Let's do it, Basara!
We can't forsake our music,
no matter what!
[Basara sighs] Ray!
[whimpers]
[door opens]
I brought snacks.
Oh, my gosh, are you crying?
Snacks! Just what I wanted!
[young Basara sings]
[presenter] Basara sang,
with all his heart.
But nobody could understand his new sound.
Nobody even bothered to throw him a coin.
At this time, Basara didn't even have the
money to buy a single piece of bread.
[presenter] To Basara, a growing boy,
hunger was the most excruciating thing
of all.
-What's the matter?
-[gasps]
Are you hungry?
Eat.
You don't have to pay.
-Just take it.
-[gasps]
Mister, how much bread can I get for this?
So, that's what you're thinking.
Well, I'll hold on to this then.
What?
Don't worry.
Until you leave town,
come and eat here anytime you want.
Along with that young lady.
Why?
I listen to you play here every day.
The bakery's the best seat in the house.
That's worth more than the bread.
Mister
[presenter] Basara was moved by
the baker's kindness.
But more importantly,
this act sparked something
within the young Basara's heart.
Because this was the first time
since entering the town
that somebody had acknowledged his music.
It is said that later on
when he left the town,
Basara secretly left his guitar
at the bakery's door as thanks.
[both whimper]
Our crew was actually able
to find that precious guitar.
Here it is.
The guitar and straps that Basara used
when he was little.
Basara really paid his dues.
Yeah.
Give me some.
You have plenty of your own!
But I like those.
So do I!
-Give me some.
-No!
After that, Ray recovered.
And with Veffidas as their newest member,
the band continued their musical pursuits.
By the way, Ms. Akiko, when did
the full-sized Zentradi Veffidas
decide to miclonize?
It's hard to say.
But one thing I know for sure is that,
as a Zentradi with no civilian culture
or knowledge of music,
becoming a drummer must've been difficult.
-[drumming continues]
-[panting]
["PLANET DANCE" playing]
[gasps]
[music continues]
By the way,
what was young Basara's life like
before he met Ray?
What about his parents and family?
About that
We have almost no information on that,
to be honest.
Ms. Akiko, do you know anything?
-No.
-I have no idea, either.
I see.
Well, we had our crew pay a visit
to the town where Basara was
said to have spent his childhood.
Let's take a look.
Jessica, you're on right now.
Can you hear me?
Yes. This is your on-site reporter
Jessica speaking.
Hello, Macross 7 fleet.
I hope you're enjoying your journey.
Are you receiving me clearly?
[gasps]
Whoa, the winds are very strong.
This mountain-side town is where Basara's
said to have sung to the mountain
playing his guitar.
The mountain that stands
behind me is Mount Dream.
Facing this perpetually snow-covered
mountain with its rough environment,
how did young Basara live?
What did he think of when he sang?
Our crew paid a visit earlier to the city
office and the police department here
in an attempt to find out more
about Basara,
but came up empty-handed.
There are no records of Basara's birth,
his family, or his home.
Nothing on Basara at all.
But after an extensive search,
we were able to find this one photograph!
The one link to Basara
is this elderly gentleman that has
lived in this town his entire life.
Do you recognize him, sir?
Yes! That's him.
The kid who used to sing to the mountain
every day.
Look, he's all grown up!
-Wow, Basara sure lived in a weird place.
-Mmm.
What's going on?
-Now Ray's missing, too.
-[Gubaba mews]
[music continues]
[bystander chuckles]
-That's
-Yeah.
[gasps]
Bomber!

[music fades]
[grunts]
[sighs] Hmm?
[Basara in distance]

That voice!
It's so easy ♪
To intertwine ♪
[chuckles]
Interested in moving mountains with me?
Hey, those two giants
They've been like that for a while.
Why are they having a street fight
in a backwater town like this?
[crowd murmurs]
-[grunts]
-[crowd gasps]
[both grunting]
[crowd gasps]
[crowd] Wow!
[grunting continues]
[groans]
Veffidas,
well done. [coughs]
Veffidas,
I've always loved you.
[Veffidas] And I, you.
[sighs]
[acoustic guitar playing]
-[bystander] Are they actually gonna play?
-[crowd clamors]
What is this?
[bystander 2] No way! I can't see!
[Mylene] Excuse me!
Excuse me, coming through.
Sorry.
Mylene's late. Let her through!
-[gasps]
-[Gubaba squeals]
-I'm not actually late or anything.
-[mews]
[chuckles]
["PLANET DANCE" continues]
[no audible dialogue]
[song stops]
[host] Eventually Mylene Jenius
would join the group,
and their turbulent days started
anew from there. Right, Ms. Akiko?
If you look at them, I think you'll find
that turbulent isn't really
the word to use.
What a surprise!
We focused on exploring the mysteries
of Fire Bomber in today's program,
but we just got word that Fire Bomber
has suddenly started a performance.
Ms. Akiko, was this planned?
Not to my knowledge.
[host] An unscheduled spontaneous concert.
Now I feel like going
to see it for myself.
-There's your answer.
-[host] What?
That's Fire Bomber.
Both their past
and their future are unknown.
But they're here right now.
That is their all.
Rude!
Mylene, you're here!
Don't you "you're here" me!
Why didn't you tell me about this?
Now people are saying I'm late!
This wasn't planned or anything.
We just kinda met up.
-And anyway, you found us, right?
-[Gubaba squeals]
But you guys wouldn't usually do this!
Yeah, we would!
No! Absolutely no.
I can tell.
I feel like I'm being excluded!
Nobody's excluding you.
Yes, you are.
Feels like it.
Enough with the chitchat
and get ready, man.
We got a crowd here!
Fire!
Bomber!

This mountain-side town is where Basara's
said to have sung to the mountain
playing his guitar.
The mountain that stands
behind me is Mount Dream.
Facing this perpetually snow-covered
mountain with its rough environment,
how did young Basara live?
What did he think of when he sang?
Our crew paid a visit earlier to the city
office and the police department here
in an attempt to find out more
about Basara,
but came up empty-handed.
There are no records of Basara's birth,
his family, or his home.
Nothing on Basara at all.
But after an extensive search,
we were able to find this one photograph!
The one link to Basara
is this elderly gentleman that has
lived in this town his entire life.
Do you recognize him, sir?
Yes! That's him.
The kid who used to sing to the mountain
every day.
Look, he's all grown up!
-Wow, Basara sure lived in a weird place.
-Mmm.
What's going on?
-Now Ray's missing, too.
-[Gubaba mews]
[music continues]
[bystander chuckles]
-That's
-Yeah.
[gasps]
Bomber!
[groans]
[music fades]
[grunts]
[sighs] Hmm?

[chuckles]
Interested in moving mountains with me?
Hey, those two giants
They've been like that for a while.
Why are they having a street fight
in a backwater town like this?
[crowd murmurs]
-[grunts]
-[crowd gasps]
[both grunting]
[crowd gasps]
[crowd] Wow!
[grunting continues]
[groans]
Veffidas,
well done. [coughs]
Veffidas,
I've always loved you.
[Veffidas] And I, you.
[sighs]
[acoustic guitar playing]
-[bystander] Are they actually gonna play?
-[crowd clamors]
What is this?
[bystander 2] No way! I can't see!
[Mylene] Excuse me!
Excuse me, coming through.
Sorry.
Mylene's late. Let her through!
-[gasps]
-[Gubaba squeals]
-I'm not actually late or anything.
-[mews]
[chuckles]
["PLANET DANCE" continues]
[no audible dialogue]
[song stops]
[host] Eventually Mylene Jenius
would join the group,
and their turbulent days started
anew from there. Right, Ms. Akiko?
If you look at them, I think you'll find
that turbulent isn't really
the word to use.
What a surprise!
We focused on exploring the mysteries
of Fire Bomber in today's program,
but we just got word that Fire Bomber
has suddenly started a performance.
Ms. Akiko, was this planned?
Not to my knowledge.
[host] An unscheduled spontaneous concert.
Now I feel like going
to see it for myself.
-There's your answer.
-[host] What?
That's Fire Bomber.
Both their past
and their future are unknown.
But they're here right now.
That is their all.
Rude!
Mylene, you're here!
Don't you "you're here" me!
Why didn't you tell me about this?
Now people are saying I'm late!
This wasn't planned or anything.
We just kinda met up.
-And anyway, you found us, right?
-[Gubaba squeals]
But you guys wouldn't usually do this!
Yeah, we would!
No! Absolutely no.
I can tell.
I feel like I'm being excluded!
Nobody's excluding you.
Yes, you are.
Feels like it.
Enough with the chitchat
and get ready, man.
We got a crowd here!
Fire!
Bomber!
