The Prophecy is still available at CD Japan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-106908

I was very upset I didn't order a VF-4 when I could. I was going through a divorce and could not spare the money so I put it off thinking "Yamato will make a ton of these for quite a while, it will be easy to get in a few months or a year"...DOH So, yeah, VF-4!!!

Yeah, I got up first thing this morning and saw the NY thing. Doesn't do me a whole lot of good at 4am, lol. Damn you Bandai! Why do I have a feeling I'm going to have to write a special script for my phone to wake up and go nuts if it sees an e-mail for a pre-order opening up, lol.

I was sleeping through that last opening. I've got to work to pay for my damned toy addiction .

BAAAHHH, sold out while I was checking out

Woot, thanks, now I have one more. Now I just need to track down a decent Ozma Renewal .

Bah, missed it! *sigh* One of these days I'll get an Ozma, lol.

I'm surprised there aren't any ghosts on the box art. But then again, it doesn't appear there are any in the kit either? Can't wait to get mine!

Wow, that is huge! Awesome. I love the paint scheme.

Nice! I still have this kit on back-order from HLJ, I think I'm up to month 7 now .

Awesome!

For fighter mode, I've always been a fan of the RVF-25. I like it even more so than the old VE-1. However, I don't like the head of the RVF-25 as much in battroid mode. So for battroid, I would have to give my vote to the VF-25F with the 25S being a close second.

Nice job! I hope my next build looks half this good

Maybe I missed this, but I'm pretty sure the "vampires" weren't confined to just City 7. They showed up on the other "islands" correct? Maybe the police saw them and thought they were just sick and were wearing masks to keep others from getting sick

Okay, that makes a lot more sense than my FX DVD translations. Can someone please point me to a Macross 7 subtitle that makes sense? I have bittorrent, lol. I would love to see a more correct translation!

Both, except the All Macross song book, it's mostly lyrics and just the melodies. The Macross 7 one has pretty much what the old band score book had in it, plus some. And this time, the tabs can be READ! I'm not sure if you ever saw the old bandscore book for Macross 7, but I needed a magnifying glass to read the fret numbers on the tab, lol. The Macross F one looks to be mostly piano, synth, etc. Just flipping through it, I don't remember as many guitar parts.

Nope, sorry, I hadn't had time yet, I've been too busy practicing singing on Angel Voice, lol. I'll see if I have time this weekend, life has been very busy this week. That and I just got my 3 music books from Amazon.co.jp: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%90%E3%83%B3...104&sr=1-12 http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%90%E3%83%B3...876&sr=1-62 http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF...616&sr=1-43

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: EPISODE 12 Okay, this is my first time doing this and I haven't seen much of other peoples reviews on the previous epsidoes yet (I hope to get time to do that soon), but here goes. I think most of what I noticed were things that I thought were funny or odd, so it's not really so much of a review of the episode. Note, this is based on the afore mentioned crappily subtitled FX version, where even me with my extremely limited knowledge of Japanese can tell they mistranslate stuff at times, lol. Okay, I know that Mylene is the Mayors daughter and all, but do they not have police that pull over reckless drivers? lol. So she gets done driving around and getting her kimono stuck on the shifter, and for some strange reason Gubaba has to get it off for her. Now during Gamlin and Mylene's date, Mylene has to go to the bathroom to clean off her kimono. The "vampire" zaps her and Gubaba jumps into action and get knocked against the mirror and breaks the mirror. All I could think of is, wow, that's one tough ...whatever Gubaba is. Now, when Max and Miria are in the room where they are looking over all the people that have been kidnapped, listen in the background and you can hear typewritters. I had never noticed that before and I had to laugh out loud because it struck me as funny that a typewritter that is outdated even when Macross 7 came out, would still be used, even in a sound effect. Mylene's body guard (his name escapes me at the moment) goes in and accuses Basara, Ray, Vefidas of hiding Mylene and the Fire Bomber members all go running out to find her. Whent he body guard goes back out and hits his head on the door and breaks it and Basara turns around and tells him that he should fix it. Maybe it's a bad FX translation, I'm not sure, but I found it funny. Apparently it is also revealed in this episode that when Gubaba gets electrically charged, he turns into a Mylene homing device. Now, this again may be a bad FX translation, but Max notes that a lot of the missing people are part of the navigation team. Now that strikes me as odd because technically speaking, navigation on aircraft/spacecraft (real-world here) is only responsible for calculating where the ship is at that moment. It has nothing to do with going from one location to another (guidance) or how exactly to fly there (control). Seeing what happens later in the plot would lead me to believe that this might be better translated as a "fold" team, or possibly even guidance. Just a nit, like I said, probably due to the FX translation . Now, when Basara and Gamlin find Mylene, there is an interesting story switch. For the first time (I think), Gamlin posits to himself if Basara's singing might really work. Shortly after, when Basara goes to rescute Mylene from the cargo container, Basara goes in without trying to sing. He shoots his speaker pods into the guns and viewscreens of the enemies yells "pinpoint barrier punch" and basically attacks. I found it very funny that he yelled his attack, reminded me of Street Fighter or something, lol. And in the ending, we see the forced separation of City 7 from ...Battle 7 (sorry if that's wrong, trying to remember the name of the front section). I had actually completely forgotten about that part of the story. That's it for my brief notes, hope they make some sense Jason

lol, Gibson Les Paul Standard. I like your taste in guitars

I play it on my Martin D18 Golden Era, sounds fantastic . It's not an exact match to the original, some of the little fills aren't in the version I wrote up because I haven't figured them all out yet. I should say my guitar instructor hasn't, he figures most of it out for me, lol.

And of course, the website removed a lot of my spaces *sigh*, lol, but you get the idea .

Okay, you convinced me it was finally time to get rid of my scribbled notes for Remember 16 and write them out somewhat, this isn't everything, but it's most of it. The original was played with the capo on the 2nd fret...I, however, can't sing the high notes on that fret yet, so I usually remove the capo when I sing .

Yeah, we're pretty close on Angel Voice. C9+5 x32033 G5 320033 Am7 x02013 Fsus9 xx3013 Dsus4 xx0233 C-G-A-F pre-chorus: G-A-F-C-G chorus: C-A-F-G-A-D-G I haven't attempted planet dance out yet, would have to get out the electric. It's in the Fire Bomber Band Score, although the tabs are near impossible to read they put the numbers in such a tiny font, lol. One of these days I'll write them up in a huge font so I can actually read it .

This is from a thread that Jasonc and I started elsewhere and decided to move it here instead . We were discussing guitar chords etc. for Macross music.

Nice job Ron!! The only even minor thing I could say was it was hard to hear the voices over the music, but that may have been intentional . Fantastic work man!!
