The
official website for the Macross FB7: Ore no Uta o Kike! film began streaming
the trailer on Saturday after it debuted at Tokyo Game Show earlier that day.
The video features the theme song "Virgin Story," the fictional Fire
Bomber rock band's first new song in years with both of its singers, Basara
(Yoshiki Fukuyama) and Mylene (Chie Kajiura). View VIDEO HERE.
Macross FB 7: Ore no Uta o Kike! will start
playing in 18 theaters throughout Japan on October 20. The 90-minute title
takes remastered and re-edited footage from the Macross 7 television series and
combines it with brand-new Macross Frontier footage.
The story is set in 2059, five decades after
the Space War I conflict seen in the first Macross story. Macross Frontier, the
25th New Macross Class super-long-distance colonization fleet, is journeying
through the galaxy to a new paradise to call home. However, it is locked in a
state of war with a strange enemy called Vajra.
Ozma Lee (Katsuyuki Konishi), the leader of
the S.M.S. Skull Team that is fighting the Vajra on the frontlines, encounters
a mysterious lifeform, different from even the Vajra, one day. This mysterious
lifeform leaves an archival video of the Macross 7 colonization fleet with
Ozma, Ranka (Megumi Nakajima), and Sheryl (May'n for singing, Aya Endo for
dialogue).
Tetsuro Amino, the director of the original
Macross 7 anime, is writing and directing the new project at Satelight with
assistant director Takao Abo (Lunar Legend Tsukihime, Macross Frontier) and
animation director Osamu Horiuchi (Full Metal Panic! franchise). Character
designers Risa Ebata and Yûichi Takahashi are returning from Macross
Frontier for the new work.
In addition to Konishi, Nakajima, and Endo,
Kenta Miyake (Bobby Margot), Jun
Fukuyama (Luca Angeloni), Hiroshi Kamiya (Mikhail Blanc), Megumi Toyoguchi
(Klan Klang), and Houko Kuwashima (Canaria Berstein) reprise their respective
roles from Macross Frontier.
In a separate development, the Animax channel
will run a special "Macross Night" in its Studio Musix program on
October 7. May'n and photo idol Chiaki Kyan will emcee the event with guests
Nakajima, Fukuyama, Kajiura and original Minmay voice actress/singer Mari
Iijima (via video from California, her current home).
