Macross Frontier, the anime with a bishounen pilot, 2 female singers, Ranka and Sheryl that has made the series epic with their legendary voices that echoes through the galaxy!
What I really dig about Macross F the most besides the plot and the little fanservices here and there are the really nice insert songs that Macross F is showing. It kinda makes the series more interesting to watch each week but too much of it can cause the series to “deteriorate” on its plot. We’ll see how things go, but for now, let’s just enjoy the music of Frontier and beyond.
So first up, the song that captured our hearts in and made Ranka-chan who’s voiced by Nakijima Ai a true “Cinderella” in episode 12 – 星間飛行.
星間飛行 – Ranka
Here are the other songs sung by her. ^^
Watashi no Kare wa Pilot – Ranka
Aimo ~Tori no Hito (アイモ- 中島愛) – Ranka
What ’bout my star@Formo – Ranka
And of course, the other legendary singer and galactic fairy, Sheryl Nome with her seiyuu, Nakabayashi May!
Daimond Crevease – Sheryl
Diamond Crevasse (LIVE) – May’n
Iteza☆Gogo Kuji Don’t be late – Sheryl
Infinity – Sheryl
So having heard the characters that made Macross F awesome, what happens if you combine both? Well, you get a mix of more deculture!! Hmm, there’re two versions to this song so try not to get it mixed up. ^^; Enjoy~
What ’bout my star@Formo – Ranka and Sheryl
And to end things off, the trademark commercial of Macross F, the Nyan Nyan jingle!
DECULTURE!!!
P.S. Videos are neither owned or made by me. Also, some of the songs mentioned in the post are in the Furo Nyan OST.
Watashi no Kare wa Pilot is definitely one of my favourites. thanks for giving e the link for the OST some time ago. ^^;
btw, do u have higher res of the cosplay pic? i will love to have it. :)

@Gordon
That song doesn’t really get to me since I wasn’t born yet during Macross’ first appearence. ^^; But it was nice.

Also note that Varja Assault ships are teh_awesome.
That and Ranka has lolifangs now. SO MOE I DIED.
I can’t pick a favorite from the insert songs ^^; They’re all too good!
The cosplay is pure win. I thought I was seeing 2D rendered in 3D.
@C.I.
Lol @lolifangs.
@Mizunaga
“Gotta catch ‘em all, Pokemon!” Ops, wrong show. ^^;
@double
The Sheryl cosplayer doesn’t really look human.. More like a doll :D
8D have you seen Jesuke’s cosplay of this? <3
OH! she did simca. 8DDDDDDDDDDD holy shit, Simca! from a person who does Mukuro, Kadaj and all the sexu male characters… XD go seee, homg.
I’m fascinated by the Yoko Kanno songs (they ARE Yoko Kanno songs, aren’t they?) but what the heck does “deculture” mean?
I have NO idea what deculture is… its really bothering me. Online diction said it means : “To Deculture.” Seriously.

Other than that, i think it means to become numb. Cause culture is the enhancing of ones mind. Or something. Kinda like being in awe, that seems to be deculture.
@sirtmagus and Leletch
In short, it means “awesome” in Zentradi language. By the way, I’m not updating here already, but rather at http://yumeno.dasaku.net ^^;
The songs are just too great :) I do really like them ! (And Ranka too in fact :p)
And her voice actress’s name is pronounced Megumi not Ai (http://www.nakajimamegumi.com/)
So here’s a quest for you Macross fans; can anyone find an mp3 of the little jingle they use for the CM break? I’d like to use it for my PSP start up sound, seeing as my XMB is already Macross F themed and I have a copy of Ace Frontier on the MS. Any help is greatly deculture ;)
For your infomation, May’N is coming to Singapore for Anime Festival Asia 2008 (AFA08)

Apart from Nakajima being Megumi, not Ai, Nakabayashi Mei is not Sheryl’s seiyuu, she just sings for her.
