Which Macross Frontier song is your favourite?

[Kai]

I think this kind of poll would be best posted on a non-Macross forum though. But if ever, my answer to this would have to be a "no". I can't see a category in which the Macross F OSTs would hold up against some of Kanno's other works. Best vocals would be with GITS:SAC, Arjuna and Bebop. BGM would be with Escaflowne, Aquarion, Brain Powerd. Use in animation, hands down Bebop - the OP, ED, Green Bird, Blue scenes among others are very very very memorable. I can't think of a Macross F music scene that gave me the same feeling as when I was watching those Bebop scenes. Although that's not to diss the Macross F OSTs, cause unlike some Kanno OSTs, I'd give this one an above average grade on all criteria mentioned above

Oh, I voted for Diamond Crevasse, then if there's a second choice it'd have to be Northern Cross.

I would have gone with Arjuna and Esca in the BGM category and best vocals goes to any Maaya+Kanno+Iwasato track (Hemisphere and Kiseki no umi comes to mind). To each his own.

Song wise I didn't vote because I cant decide between DC, Shinkuu DC, Yousei and Lion. Overall although I really like the Mac F OST it can't really match Bebop, Bebop is just too cool. And I was just thinking a sing-off between Mai Yamane and May'n would be pretty spectacular.

The way you said that, i'd think you haven't seen the final episode yet. would i be right?

Nope, I have seen it I know it's not exactly the same, but it feels similar... maybe I have to rewatch the las ep (again... ) and compare.

Edit: I just rewatched it, and it... it's the SAME

The way you said that, I'd think you haven't seen the final episode ENOUGH TIMES. Or you haven't listen to the album enough. Would I be right?

[VFTF1]

The only thing that has surprised me about this poll so far has been the lack of any votes for Aimo. I personally was no real fan of the song but I thought I remembered some people raving about it. Oh well.

You know - I think this is because Aimo is in a category all to itself. It's kind of like Voices - it's not a song that you're going to groove to; it's not a "catchy tune" - it's too serious a song.

I love Aimo - but it's not the type of song that has a place ina popularity contest. It fit perfectly with the spirit of Birdman/Zero; and it was a lovely, lovely song of course - and it is one of my top choices; but I just can't find myself voting for it as my "favorite song" because it doesn't have that fun spirited vein.

It's a serious, somber work.

I haven't listen to the album enough times.. I just got it this Monday

When you do, you'll notice that the Nyan Nyan Service Medley IS the music from episode 25.

[Eaglearcher]

How can you go wrong with Medley? It got everything.

Please add Ninjin Loves You Yeah

Have you seen the Electric Fire DVD?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qAn9jgptJw

Angel Voice is still my fav Macross song ever...watched this youtube video before, but is it from that Electric Fire DVD you mention???

too bad neither May'n nor Megumi Nakajima sang any of Firebomber songs in Frontier, we did get yet another version of Ai Oboete Imasuka!

I voted Diamond Crevasse (see the pattern?) but Aimo with harmonica would be a second best, as Frontier is regarded.

[Xeros]

I voted Diamond Crevasse.

BTW, what's the point in voting for a medley???, that's not a real song IMO

Yeah, that's on the DVD, it's actually quite a nice disc, clocking in at nearly 3 hours, and covering a couple concerts lasat year with Yoshiki Fukuyama & Chie Kajiura, a lot of duets, some accoustic, all awesome.

[Keith]

I voted Diamond Crevasse.

This medley is good enough to be considered its own song.

[Xeros]

I'm agree on that, but I think the purpose of this poll must be which song would enter in the history of the franchise, as Angel Voice etc.

[taksraven]

I love this, a poll where the vote looks like it might actually be tied. Great stuff.

I haven't finished watching Macross F yet so all I can say is that Sheryl's singing voice when speaking engrish is just awful. Specifically in "What 'bout my Star?"

Edited November 15, 2008 by MasterOfPuppets

[edwin3060]

It's actually pretty good, considering that English is not her first language-- its French.

Besides, on the part of May'N, her pronunciation is already wayyy beyond what most Asians sound like if they learn English as a second language rather than a first language.

[dakedo]

Seikan Hikou is the best but I thinkits not in the list

[Beltane70]

Call me strange, but I've always really liked What 'bout my star? @Formo.

For the Sheryl version, it's not her English pronunciation that I find problems with. It's the tone of her voice that sounds off. However, her voice sounds just fine to me in Welcome To My FanClub's Night!

[Renato]

I don't get it, I definitely voted already days ago (check my previous post), but apparently that wasn't counted?? So I just voted again for Aimo - Tori no hito. Sure enough, it had no votes... that's really weird. Unless I thought I voted, but didn't...

[drifand]

Yeah, had to re-vote... aaaaaannnnnd LION is back on top. Nameaate mo RAION wa tsuyoi!!!

[Thom]

I voted for LION, but having reheard the second CD, I would have to say that Battle Aimo plays a close damn second, after Medley which is number one!

It has a driving, dark force to it, as we understand along with Ranka, that this is not a battle hymn. And the fact the Vajra's love song was being used in this fashion is a cool, dark twist.

There is no such thing as awful engrish. Its always wonderful.

By the way, is it just me, or we suddenly need to add a bunch of new songs to this poll? It seems a little out-of-date now...

[edwin3060]

We should probably restart the poll-- wipe the slate clean so any prejudices can be removed.

With the new CD and new songs out, some people may want to change their vote?

Maybe just a new poll based on the new CD then. (We could do polls for each of the soundtracks, let people get some votes in for the instrumental tracks)

Taksraven

[edwin3060]

Either way is fine with me You seem really into the instrumental tracks, Taksraven.

[SchizophrenicMC]

Heh, I get 100th vote...

Anyway, Lion is my favorite. It's got the whole love song motif one would expect in Macross, yet it also has the epic "final battle worthy" quality we see in the beginning of Nyan-Nyan Service Medley. Furthermore, it syncs so well with Valk combat. Gabriela Robin, Lion gets a 10/10.

[adrianop]

for Valk combat sync, Iteza☆Gogo Kuji Don't be late is the best song in my opinion. It also gave the first impression of MacrossF in terms of the said combat sync.
