QUOTE (Midnight Star @ Today at 8:50 PM) | Yeah I know how happy you are. And I'd love to hear your cover . I just hope you didn't cover Dynamite Explosion ><. That song must be the most annoying song ever to hear. I'm downloading the Sharon Apple album from Macross Plus right now. Great OST. But what I'm really holding out for is the OST for Frontier. I want the music from the Deculture Edition. Don't be late was a teriffic catchy song. And the reprised version of "Ai Oboete imasu ka" was very pretty. The original by Minmay is a really good song. One of my favourites. You wouldn't happen to have an MP3 of the original theme song would you? I can't find a download for it and I don't want to torrent it.
I started watching when I was like 7 with Robotech and I was hooked. I watched the whole Macross saga but the others were crappy. I only recently found out last year that Robotech was just a hacked apart version of Macross when I had a hit of nostalgia. Naturally started watching all the originals. Macross fans over here are few and far between. I have a few friends that have watched the Macross Zero OVA but didn't appreciate it as much since they didn't know the back story. |
Songs from Macross I've Covered on my Radio Show: -MACROSS (SDF Macross) -My Boyfriend is a Pilot (SDF Macross) -Do You Remember Love? (Macross the Movie) -HEART & SOUL (Macross 7 the Movie) -Planet Dance (Macross 7) -Totsugeki Love Heart (Macross 7) -Seventh Moon (Macross 7) -DYNAMITE EXPLOSION! (Macross Dynamite 7) And since you asked so nicely, here's me singing MACROSS. N1 - MACROSSSadly, since the Karaoke CD I have for Macross 7 is all one big disc, the one I sang on-air was by myself which wouldn't have been nearly as good as if I had sang along with the version at the end of the CD that has Mylene doing backup lyrics. Darn! EDIT: Yes, I actually have every Macross OST. I'm a huge fanboy, so it was a requirement for me to own them!!! Here's the original opening: http://www.sendspace.com/file/xzbqio

QUOTE (Midnight Star @ Today at 5:52 AM) | Haha, I just saw that you covered My boyfriend is a pilot. Thats quality entertainment! But the only OSTs I have are the single for do you remember love and the Sharon Apple mini album. Both are really good. I'll try and get more though. |
XD I'll have to go back and find the "Friday Mega Karaoke Night!" show, then cut out the Macross songs I did. I think InitialDRulz from IDW has it uploaded somewhere, I'll ask him about it. And yes, me covering Minmay = LUUUUULZ.
My Macross fanboyism story goes a little something like this...
In 199X, a young Nomake sees Robotech on TV. At first, the spaceships and transforming fighter jets enthrall him, but then he hits the part where Rick (shiver) and Minmay get trapped together and stops watching due to boring drama. He stays into the mecha designs, but for the most part is a Gundam fanboy instead.
2002. Nomake wanders into his local video rental shop looking for something new to watch. He's pretty much gone over the Anime VHS section multiple times now, but then his eye catches on something called "Macross Plus." He looks over the tape selection, and settles on the subtitled VHS of "Macross Plus the Movie." Taking this home he immediately watches it, stops about 15 minutes in to catch his breath, invites his brother to come watch it with him (who then thanks him graciously afterward), and that is that. Macross Plus becomes Nomake's favorite Anime movie of all time, and the next week he seeks out and buys the DVD.
Nomake then starts collecting the OSTs for Macross Plus, looking for the song played when the YF-21 loses control and plummets to the ground. Collecting every single OST, he discovers that predictably, the song he likes isn't on any of them. But the OSTs are amazing, so he keeps them.
A friend of his with massive hard drives who collects random Anime from the 'net then tells him that he got an episode of something called "Macross Zero." Macross Zero blows Nomake away. He collects the OSTs for this too, then starts collecting anything Macross he can get his hands on. He imports the Macross Plus PSX game, gets his hands on Macross VF-X and VF-X2, imports the Macross PS2 game, gets his hands on the Dreamcast game (despite not even owning a Dreamcast), collects all the Macross soundtracks...
2008 March. Nomake finds the DVD for Macross 20th Anniversary, and with that completes his collection of Macross series.

Oh wow. You got the macross plus PSX game? Is it any good? and is it playable since it's in jap? I'd love to get my hands on that so I could play the ISO on the PSP. Here's my story. In 199x A young Midnight goes to the local video shop with his parents. Looking for something to keep him occupied for the week he heads over to the anime section knowing there's always decent content there after watching Star Blazers or Space battleship Yamato, Evangelion (yeah I watched that as an itty bitty kid), Patlabor, and heaps of other anime (I started really young), he finds this anime called Robotech, looks pretty cool. Jet planes, giant robots, aliens, that sort of stuff. Watches the first 3 eps or so on the video, and is instantly hooked on the story, characters, and of course, the robots. Watches all of the macross series until the next series of robotech with Dana Stirling and is put off by the poor concept and lack of original fighter jets. Coincidentaly, also finds macross plus on VHS, although the library collection is incomplete missing the last 2 videos A few years later finds the last videos and completes the story. Finaly in 2008 I start remembering the old series I used to watch as a kid and start youtubing them for nostalgia purposes. Dad catches me and reminds me of Robotech. I go out and rent the first 12 episodes on remastered DVD. Fell in love again. I try and download the original macross series off crunchyroll and I find the movie "Do you remember love". Bloody awesome film, finaly find a streaming site with the original series and re-watch for the first time in Japanese and find the story is totaly different. Then I watch Plus and Zero again. <3 Finally I move onto Frontier and jiz my pants...

I'd be happy to let you borrow the CD over the interwebs if you'd like. The game is quite good; its one and only pitfall is that you cannot transform on the fly. There are ground levels and air/space levels. In ground levels, you can transform to Gerwalk, but not Fighter. In air/space levels, you can transform to Gerwalk, but not to Battroid. However, unlike Macross VF-X and VF-X2, Macross Plus actually has a Versus mode, and you can also pilot enemy mecha as well as Destroids. I had a lot of fun playing this game, and occasionally I bust it out to play online against my friends using ePSXe. The really neat thing is that the game uses actual cutscenes from Macross Plus, and includes full voiced BGMs instead of MIDI background music. It's a very immersive, fun game... if you can look past the transforming bit, and the PSX graphics. Oh, and if you put the PSX disc into a CD player, there's a full version of "Voices" on it. As for it being in Japanese, most of the game isn't. The menus are English. Sure, all the voices and subtitles are in Japanese. But so what? You've seen the movie a billion times, right?

QUOTE (Midnight Star @ Today at 2:27 AM) | yeah I had that figured out, but how would you swing the legs forward like when they do a reverse thrust in DYRL at the start.
BTW: found this site with most of the macross soundtracks on it if you're interested. http://macrosshare.blogspot.com/2007/04/os...soundtrack.html the ones I downloaded are passworded, but I figured out the password is macrosshare.blogspot.com |
Thanks, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, I already have all the soundtracks. Oh, the reverse thrust? Shouldn't be difficult either. It's reverse thrust. For moving in reverse in Gerwalk you just move the throttle position to "reverse," no biggie. ...or maybe there's yet another example? Lemme check DYRL, I think it's on my computer here somewhere. AH, THAT! That's, yeah. Funny enough, that's the same exact reverse thrust maneuver that the YF-19 does in Macross Plus the Movie. The reverse-thrust-brake transformation. Just have a clause in the operating system for your Valkyrie that says something like... CODE | ##for fighter to gerwalk/battroid if velocity > (some arbitrary slow speed) then reverse_brake_maneuver |
Reason being, you wouldn't want the valkyrie to do a braking maneuver when transforming while you're relatively motionless. When not in motion you should be able to do a clean transformation in any direction. Whereas if you're zipping along in fighter and transform to Gerwalk or Battroid, chances are you want to stop in a hurry!
