Macross 7 is a giant immigrant fleet which set out to space in search of
habitable planets. This search has taken a long time. On the seven
residential ships there are cities, and the citizens are able to live their
lives like they did on earth. In order to guarantee their safety, there is a
large battleship of the Unified Army accompanying each ship. However, seven
years after leaving the earth, the fleet was attacked by an unknown enemy.
The damage to the fleet and its elite Diamond Force was heavy. And without a
real solution to this problem, the Sound Force was established. The members
of Fire Bomber were chosen for this civilian unit.

Hey, are you still not going to join? We're going into the fifth song. Hey,
Basara! You're just gazing into space.
Go on without me.
Where are you going! We can't rehearse this way.
I'm going to breathe the outside air.
We've finally gotten Sound Force started too.
He probably has concerns of his own.
Basara, concerns?
Maybe romantic concerns.
Romantic concerns? Ray, do you know something.
Um...
Sibil. Oh well.

Merry Go Round

Gamlin Kizaki of the 138th airborne, serving the 488 special attack unit
Diamond Force, for your outstanding service you are hereby promoted to
Lieutenant. You are assigned the duty of protecting City 7, under the command
of the mayor. 
What does this mean?
Just as it reads.
Under the command of the mayor?
It's by request of the mayor. Who knows when City 7 will be separated again.
She wants a dedicated defense unit to protect City 7. 
And I am to be part of that unit?
That's correct.
But as a member of the Diamond Force..!
The Diamond Force.. well Physica, who was posthumously promoted to Major,
died in battle, we can not expect when Lieutenant Kinryu will recover. 
Who is going to protect Sound Force? Normal pilots will be unable!
There is the Emerald force, with Lieutenant Dokker. The squadron is made up
of the newest VF-19s.
Hey Gamlin, what's wrong? You look down.
We're going to be fighting together with Sound Force.
Congratulations.
Did you know? Mylene from Fire Bomber is charming, and extremely cute. I'll
take her driving sometime.
Commander Kinryu.
The flight space of Sound Force will be 0.008 away from Emerald Force, so
that you will not interfere with them.
I understand.
And as for the list of songs, I am analyzing various data right now, and we
will ask you to play the songs in the sequence of their predicted
effectiveness.
You're going to regulate that too?
As an official member of the army, you must follow orders.
Your vocalist doesn't seem to be here yet.
I think he will be here soon.
You must be punctual!
What were you doing?! You must be on time!
Hey Basara, we're discussing the song list. Cut it out!
Huh? What's the point of that? I'll sing what I want when I want.
That's not right. There is this list...
Look at this!
Shut up! Once I'm out there I'll put my heart into singing the songs that
feel right to me! That's the only way! The feeling of the moment is the most
important!
That's not right! The data will determine the appropriate...
Hm. Come to think of it, what Basara is saying might be correct.
But doctor!
It might be that free spirit which refuses to let anything capture it which
is important.
Doctor!
Thank you for your understanding.
Hey doc, you're pretty cool.
Sibil is what?
The troops which have infiltrated reported that she has broken off
communication.
What does that mean?
We no longer know where she is.
What the hell are they doing!? I'll go myself and find her!
What about Lord Gepernich?
Leave that narcissistic monster out of this.
Excuse me. 
Come in.
I have been ordered to the dedicated defense of City 7. I have come to report
to duty.
Welcome. I will also require you to patrol City 7 during non-emergencies.
Patrol also?
Of course! Unknown enemies have infiltrated City 7!
However, I have been a pilot until now.
I know that you have been an elite army pilot.
Then I have one request. Recommend me as a member of Emerald Force.
I can't do that. Defense of City 7 is a respectable duty of the army.
But I am...
Under this duty, you I will be your superior officer. I will ask you to
follow my orders. Come, both of you. Vic and Morry. They are rookie pilots. I
have asked them to join Diamond Force.
It is our pleasure, sir!
My pleasure also.
I am proud to serve with you, Lieutenant Gamlin!
Let's sink countless enemy ships and gain honors!
Physica, I'm sorry. I'm the only one left, and because of my inability, the
Diamond Force has come to this.
You're lousy!
Oh yeah!
Excuse me.
Hi Gamlin! I wonder what's wrong with Gamlin?
He's probably in shock?
Oh?
They say he wasn't included in the newest command of the Emerald Force.
What's that mean?
He was taken out of top command and reassigned. They considered him a
nuisance.
Why? Gamlin protected City 7 all by himself! He worked so hard! It's unfair!
There's no point in getting mad at me, it's the army.
Gamlin.
Gamlin!
Mylene?
What? We're taking a break from rehearsal!
What's this?
Nothing.
Gamlin isn't the kind of guy who would bite into a whole apple.
It's very tasty, Mylene.
Oh, good.
Your song touched me, Mylene. These are the times to listen to music. Music,
it's a good thing, isn't it?
If you'd like, take this. It was bought for me when I was younger. It's good
for when things aren't going your way. Rub it.
Does something happen if you do?
Magic takes effect and your future becomes brighter. That's what I was told.
So I rubbed it hard. They told me later it was only to make you feel better.
Isn't that horrible?
Ah, oh, no.
But I liked it so I kept it. If you like, you can have it, Gamlin.
Why me?
You're such a serious person Gamlin.
Oh not so much?
I thought you should have something frivolous like this.
See you later.
Good luck in Sound Force.
You have to be looser. 
Oh.
Much looser.
Mylene.
It seems Macross 5 has found a good planet.
If there is water there then there are plants there too, right?
That would be the logical conclusion.
According to their report, there is plenty of food also.
It's a dream planet!!
Once we arrive, you can all have a good vacation.
Hooray!
Defold effect detected.
What?!
Sibil, where are you hiding? I'll find you!
All of you, let's go!
Emerald Force ready for take-off.
Launch!
What about Sound Force?
They are about to launch.
Let's get started!
Keeta, don't let the enemy get close to Sound Force!
Roger!
Let's go!
He's being a bit reckless.
Lieutenant Gamlin, your duty is to protect City 7, do you understand?
I understand.
D2 to D1. Let's join the battle and defeat the enemy!
D1 to D2. That sort of thinking will get you killed. Be prudent.
But if we're just flying in place..
Our duty is to protect City 7!
Roger.
Hey Basara, you're forcing it!
Mylene!
Mylene, what are you doing?
It's because you went out ahead on your own, Basara!
This is not like a normal stage! Don't come up behind me like that.
We're both members trying to make the same music right?
Oh yeah?
Hey, you guys, it's no time to be fighting out in space.
It's because Mylene was screwing up my tempo!
You're the one who's not getting it right!
You're overextending yourself, flying ahead like this!
I'm not overextending! I'm a good pilot!
Oh yeah, then go ahead and play around!
I said cut it out!
All right, let's get started again!
Hey, wait a minute!
What are you doing?
Just wait a minute! Ray, can I attack?
No! What do you think we're out here singing for anyway?
But still..
I'm here for you, Mylene!
Thank you!
Don't go out ahead alone.
Don't interfere!
Looks like I'd better get in there among the samples myself and find Sibil!
Why you!
Do not let him enter City 7!
Roger!
And do not let him damage City 7! These are your directives!
Roger!
Don't interfere with my flight path!
This is our airspace!
I have shot down seven enemy units!
What are you doing!
Get out of my way!
I am responsible for the protection of City 7. I won't let you attack any
further!
D2, D3, the enemy ship to BX402!
Roger!
Right! Go to formation Y! Well done, V follow up!
You flies!
We did it!
You screwed things up!
You're the one who destroyed it! Sound Force is not just for you!
Oh really?
What do you mean oh really?
Anyway, that was a horrible performance. We have to get together and rethink
our combination.
It looks like a failure.
That's part of experimentation. You have to take the long view.
Well done, Lieutenant Gamlin. I feel assured now that City 7 is in your
capable hands.
It is only to be expected that we fulfill our duty.
I'm glad I asked Max for the most skilled pilot.
It's so irritating. It's just not working out. We're all out of synch. What
can I say? I'm so ticked off!
This is king of fun. We're just going around the same place over and over,
but. It's my first time on a merry go round. I'm so touched. I never new
there was anything this much fun in the world.
Gamlin.
This might actually work. You rub it and good things happen. I'll rub it for
you too, so good things will happen for you also.
Gamlin.

Next time

All right! Gamlin asked me out on a date!
What?! Why do I have to sing a duet with an old lady?
Oh no! The enemy attacked during our date!
What are you doing Mylene? Sing!
Next time, Midnight Duet.
Radically fire!

Seven Bridge

See you later!
We'll come as soon as we're done handing over the work here.
Bye!
I'll get home quickly and continue my game of military shogi. Who left this
open? Is it broken? Captain! He was serving on the bridge for so long. He
should go home and rest. Here.
Oh. Such a waste. What's Mayor Mylia doing ignoring a fine man like him.
Harder, harder! Harder I said! Why do you think I hired you, anyway?!
Oh captain. He's so cute.
Oh! I can't believe it! That's unfair!
Don't take your eyes off of the monitor!
Yes sir!
