Macross music thread v2.0


UN Spacy

Recommended Posts

So, I'm watching Macross 7 (ALL of it) for the first time and I'm finding that I REALLY like it! Much more than I thought I would. And I've noticed that the music, while I thought it would be bland and very J-Pop-ish, is VERY nice and has a lot of variety. I seem to appreciate Mylene's singing more than Basara's and love Sweet Fantasy and Dadeko Baby! So anyways, I give Macross 7 a lot of credit and wish it had been more popular than it was, at least in the US. <img src="http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I still want a Mylene only version of Light the the Light. :(

Have you guys seen this before?

Behind the Scenes for Budokan Final. B))

Part I - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPZTi03gy6U

Part II - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwu7daybnxs

Well UN, if we could rate posts, I'd give your post a 10 out of 10. Because that was amazing! Thanks for sharing.

How did you find these, and more importantly, what exactly is Budokan Final? Is that the name of a new Mac Frontier related concert dvd? More details please :)

I just finished my annual rewatch of Macross 7, and this was the first time I noticed that the Mylene version of Light the Light isn't on any of the Macross 7 albums (for some reason on this rewatch I noticed a few other Macross 7 songs I somehow never really noticed - the most egregious being Kimi no Todoke, a song that is used quite frequently near the end, but for whatever reason I think I kept on assuming it was just another Mylene song like Pillow Dream or something).

I'm assuming at this point in time though, will just have to live with the various song versions that haven't been released not coming out.

The behind the scene videos can be found on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of the concert, on the second disc I believe. They're incredible! Highly recommend the actual concert itself, although it does get a little slow in the middle.

They sure are! And in the digest of the Yokohama concert I can see the back of my head in the crowd ;-)

Not Macross, but a new May'n song for the upcoming movie The Incite Mill. When the cell phone comes up, click on the button, then on the next screen, click on the first "New" in the blue section on the left. Her song kicks in about 2/3 of the way into the trailer.

EDIT: Found a less complicated trailer on youtube:

I like it a lot as well. I am glad to see them have a little more production value for her videos. Seems like they often just have her in a dark room sitting or standing there singing. Or in the case of Ready Go, just a pure white background. This one however rivals the production of U.S. made music videos. I hope the song is a success for her.

Does anybody know if there is a Macross Frontier Movie OST coming? They have new remixes of the songs such as Alto's Theme in the movie.

Nothing announced, though there's no surprise because the TV series has a number of pieces that never made it onto the two released score soundtracks. This always happens with Yoko Kanno.

Previews of the eight tracks from the upcoming Christmas album, cosmic cuune are now up on youtube for those interested.

Track 2 (I can't be silent) is obviously my favorite out of the lot. Seikan Hikou Christmas ver. is rather nice though, along with track 5 (Love~Phantom Light). Track 6 (Sailor) has such a beautiful piano melody that i just adore. Track 7 (Merry Christmas without You) is a funky little track, that really boosts up the Christmas spirit. Track 8 (Tablet) is a nice song to finish the album with.

Oh how i'm loving this album. Not one song disappoints, plus there's plenty of range which i'd expect from Yoko Kanno.

Only a week away now!

Has anyone else heard these two versions of "Tenshi no Enogu" before? First one sounds like it's from a concert.

Yeah. The first one (as the Youtube uploader said) is from Mari's 1984 half-live/half-studio, kinda/sorta greatest hits collection, Variée. The second is the 15th Anniversary version from the Minmay-Mylene duet single (Minmay version, of course).
