Minor UPDATE: The new opening song for Macross Frontier Sci-Fi anime is the duet song between the main characters Sheryl and Ranka. The song conveys a strong feeling of “I want to survive.” The new ending theme is from a Sheryl in love that conveys a sad and painful feeling to the point of tears. The lyrics from the heart are straight forward and deeply moving. Translation Source: Darial from Animesuki

From Wiki: Animelo Summer Live is the biggest annual anime songs concert in Japan managed by Animelo Mix. Animelo Summer Live has been held every summer since it was first held in 2005.
This year, two dates have been assigned for the concert, on August 30 and 31, both with a different line-up of performers. May’n and Yoshiki are both scheduled on the 31st.
I don’t usually post about these live performances until we already have videos of them, but this one deserves a mention right now. As I’ve heard, the band JAM Project has already been mentioned to be in the line-up before, but now, Yoshiki Fukuyama is even mentioned to be performing as a solo artist, which makes people think that he’s going to sing songs of Basara Nekki from Macross 7… And with May’n in the set… Can you say,
“Atashitachi no Uta o KIKE!!!”
Please note that the idea that May’n will sing with Yoshiki is only a figment of our imagination as of the moment, but it’s nice to think of huh
For those who are unfamiliar with Macross 7’s songs, you could search YouTube for Macross 7 Basara songs, but here’s one that was composed by Kanno so I suppose you guys might be familiar with it, or might want to hear it: Read the rest of this entry »
The Ranka Dance video wasn’t so clear, now we can see how the dance really looks like. This performance was for the Animax 10th Anniversary Commemoration Special. Those people cheering at the side (looks like TV staff members) look geeky in a cute way don’t they? Megumi is so cute!
The August edition of BEAT Magazine mentioned that the Macross F staff animated the Ranka Gallia 4 attack using footage of Megumi singing. Must have been fun! Is it just me, or does Megumi have… fangs?
