Keith Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) I found the movie soundtracks to be pretty decent, Sheryls and Rankas songs were very hit and miss though,but the musical scores where top notch. I'm really liking it so far. Without seeing the context of the movie, there seems to have been a big effort to mature Ranka's songs. Maybe it's just Megumi getting a bit older, but even Seikan Hikou has some nice depth added to it. After listening to more, I really love this album. A bit darker & more solem than the rest of the Frontier stuff, this is more of Kanno's Escaflowne/Turn A/Aquarion vibe going on, and it works. I wish she had put this level of writing into more of Sharon Apple's songs. Wanna Be An Angel is close, but this stuff is so much better. Edited March 11, 2011 by Keith
Jasonc Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Don't know if this article has been posted here yet, as I don't wanna go through pages of posts, but http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/arts/T110303006318.htm this is an overview and review article that I found interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing this.
UN Spacy Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Spoilers on that link. Be careful folks I almost ruined it for myself.
TehPW Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 guys? in light of the devistation going on there, i think we should refrain from talking about what we love about Macross and just simply pray for that part of the world......
sketchley Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 It's OK. As long as it's positive, us residents would appreciate a bit of escapism (blanket coverage of the earthquake is on 80% of the TV channels.)
Mercurial Morpheus Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 It's OK. As long as it's positive, us residents would appreciate a bit of escapism (blanket coverage of the earthquake is on 80% of the TV channels.) Agreed. A semblence of normality always soothes the troubled soul. Fortunately, it's seems most involved in Macross are okay with reports from May'n, Mamegu, Aya Endo and so on. It apears even the Holy Floating Head himself was out of the country at the time. Hopefully good news comes of those that are currently missing. I haven't heard all the of the album yet, but I've been liking what I have.
terry the lone wolf Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Spoilers on that link. Be careful folks I almost ruined it for myself. Spoil me. It's going to be a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time when I'll be able to see the movie.
charger69 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Could you please name the book that they are showing and a link to buy if possible Maybe this one? http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=BOK-3804&template=default/product/e_display.html Edited March 17, 2011 by charger69
Gubaba Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Maybe the booklet from the movie? Yes. And I believe you can currently only buy it at theaters showing the movie.
Keith Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Alright, finally got my copy of the album, so far my fav's are the new live version of Seikan Hikou, Sayonara no Tsubasa, & dShootingstarb
Zinjo Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Yes. And I believe you can currently only buy it at theaters showing the movie. Anyone have a picture of the cover?
Germán Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Anyone have a picture of the cover? yeah is the same pic of the poster of Alto and the bride.

Renato Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Nice find, Kresphy! The animation looks better than I remember it.
Chronocidal Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Wait, what?? I am now completely and utterly confused. In fact, you might actually want to spoiler tag that particular pic, because now my curiosity is going into overdrive.
UN Spacy Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Great. I've just had the movie spoiled. This is the last time I cine back to this thread.
David Hingtgen Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I just deleted the pics, as I have yet to discover how to spoiler-tag-edit an embedded pic in the newest forum upgrade.
Gubaba Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I just deleted the pics, as I have yet to discover how to spoiler-tag-edit an embedded pic in the newest forum upgrade. I don't think there was anything terribly spoiler-y there...although I guess I can see how it would pique one's curiosity. But yeah...it's a very small, not-terribly-important part of the film.
David Hingtgen Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Yeah, but some people hate ANY spoilers. I don't consider myself "spoiled" but in the interest of preserving it for others, I got rid of them.
frothymug Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I saw it. I was curious. Didn't think anything was being spoiled, since I didn't know who it was for sure...
Gubaba Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Yeah, but some people hate ANY spoilers. I don't consider myself "spoiled" but in the interest of preserving it for others, I got rid of them. I know, I'm just sayin'... To any of you who THINK you saw a big spoiler...you didn't.

ff95gj Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 What was the box office figure for the False Songstress? I think it was under 5 million? If so, I'd say the Sayonara Wings has already met the quota... Given the atmosphere in Japan that everyone is not in a mood to go to a movie.

Tochiro Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 The fact that its actually IN the mainstream charts for weeks is in itself amazing. I know Im repeating myself here but this isnt a mainstream property. Its very niche. The fact that they got posters on the trains on the JR Yamanote Line continuously blows my mind. But you just cant compare it to something like Gantz, for example, which housewives and tweenyboppers alike rush to see. Between the movie, the OST and merch sales, there is no way the film has been a flop. I saw it a 5th time on Saturday and the cinema was still half full despite the current situation here in Japan. Heck, we had an earthquake in the middle of the movie and no-one left! So anyways, just my 2-yen, but these sort of box office comparisons are rather pointless imo.
Seanzilla Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 It's only in a small handful of theaters and is having a great average. I would love to see it do better, but considering how few theaters is actually carrying it, I can't complain either. By the way, I finally got the Wings of Goodbye soundtrack, and love it!!!

I concur, I even saw a few trains(not sure if they are the same ones) with their exterior entirely covered with Frontier adverts. Even in Osaka and Kyoto I saw posters and banners in most of the shopping complexes and major train stations.
