It's also possible Kawamori's getting his chance to do the project he was thinking about when they made Delta... one that doesn't have a singer, and focuses instead on competing flight demonstration teams.

So the music would just be background for the performances in this instance. I guess I should see what this band sounds like since “Techno” is a poor descriptor for someone like me who actually can differentiate the various styles of electronic music. Quote
azrael Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 We did have a male singer, Yoshiki Fukuyama. Quote

azrael Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Part of me suspects that this boy band is ONLY performing the opening theme and that's it from the sound of the tweet. Kinda odd given Macross's MO. Quote

The main protagonist, Chelsea Scarlett, has a mentor, Angers 672, who pilots something called a Queadlunn Alma. Seto Kaiba can probably explain the background behind that mecha. Quote

I'd love to see more dogfights with the classic Zentradi mecha. Several different classic Zentradi mecha have brief cameos in the Macross the Ride light novel... it's apparently fairly common for Regults to compete in the Ostrich class races that are popular with the Vanquish League's Zentradi fans. (Think a GERWALK mode footrace and you won't be far wrong.) Angers 672 absconds with a Queadluun-Rau briefly at a race venue, prompting a brief but furious dogfight. SMS's Queadluun-Rhea/56 battle suits also show up briefly. 8 hours ago, SMS007 said: The main protagonist, Chelsea Scarlett, has a mentor, Angers 672, who pilots something called a Queadlunn Alma. The Queadluun-Alma's more the hideous, mutant lovechild of the Feios Valkyrie (itself the hideous mutant lovechild of a VF-11A and Queadluun-Rau) and a Queadluun-Rhea (the New UN Forces own improved Queadluun-Rau). The result is as terrifyingly deadly as it is ugly. Edited February 12, 2018 by Seto Kaiba I misspelled "Feios". Quote

SDFM's opening theme. Guess you could count "Triangular", but Ms. Sakamoto ended up with a cameo role as Ranka's mum. Quote

Laundro Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 There is no way someone would pick a track that horribly produced. My guess is they're trolling Quote

Macross Delta had the entirety of its antagonist faction, save one character, given over to effeminate, fancifully-dressed prettyboy dandies following yaoi and reverse harem tropes so hard they might as well be the Darwent Castle Host Club, two of whom formed two sides of an strongly implied gay love triangle and one of whom has to outright invoke "have I mentioned I'm straight today?".

SuperHobo Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I wouldn't think about this too much, until we see some official word about this theme song. Quote

kajnrig Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Isn't a boy band exactly what the characters who eventually became the Aerial Knights were supposed to be? Quote

Not a boy band, IIRC... but rather, some kind of VF flight demonstration team/squadron. Tropes-wise, the end result was an almost dead-on copy of a standard reverse harem cast.

Sanity is Optional Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I can see it now, the pilots themselves are a boyband. It's the obvious next step in Macross. BIG OL' /S Quote
RealJayDee Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 We were so dazzled watching valks that we never saw the truth right in front of our eyes A Flying boyband Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 With all this boyband talk... I only just want to see how the new Valkyrie will look like in this new series. That's it. Quote

IIRC, the competing team to the Walkure+Delta combo was also supposed to consist of an idol group (or more likely a boy band) and demo team. I suspect that the AK might be amalgamations of those ten or so preexisting designs, which explains why they're almost all such bishie types. 5 hours ago, Sanity is Optional said: I can see it now, the pilots themselves are a boyband.
