There was once an episode of a Podcast, long ago, that asked a question: What would happen in Macross if the roles of pilot and musician were reversed? In any case, I thought this would make an interesting discussion topic. For example what if Lynn Minmay had been the one who'd stumbled into the cockpit of that VF-1D on the day of the Macross launch? And Hikaru Ichijo was the hopeful singer? Although I don't think we could really do this for Macross 7... Anyway, I'll go first. If we just go with straight Minmay, as she was presented in the TV show/movie, she obviously doesn't have any native piloting skill so I think she'd actually do quite poorly at first. But I think Minmay had a drive in her and that could quite possibly help her to get better, along with a lot of instruction from Sempai Fokker. Plus Max and Kakizaki would be constantly trying to get into her flight suit. As for Hikaru... I honestly am not sure. He's a bishonen, so he's got the looks down but what kinda 80s music would be his schtick? He's a little anarchist at the beginning of the show but... I don't know, someone wanna throw me a bone here? Anyway, have fun and try not to go too crazy. For reference-- Lynn Minmay, Vermillion Team Leader & Hikaru Ichijo... er, Mr. Macross winner? Sara and Mao Nome, VF-0 rookies & Shin Kudo, the naked floating Priest. Myung the fearless (?) UN Spacy test pilot & Isamu and Guld the idol stars. (I have a vision of Isamu singing Danger Zone) Sheryl and Ranka, SMS pilots extraordinaire & Alto Saotome, kabuki actor turned, er, pop star? Hibiki Kanzaki as the Emulator (in THAT outfit) and Ishtar as the pilot. Or maybe Sylvie as the Emulator? Lastly, just for ducks, what if Leon from Macross 30 was a singer?
