Excerpts from the special column
Macross music, the miracle of live performance!

Text: Ryusuke Hikawa (Anime Researcher)

The music of Macross echoed through the hall! I can't stop thrilled by the realization of this dream.
In recent years, as music has become available in high-resolution format, the demand for live performances has been increasing. The demand for live performances has been increasing as a result of the recent trend to provide high-resolution sound sources for music.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Japanese animation, and if you look back into the history of anime, you will find that record-breaking hits have been supported by rich music. Among them, "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross" (1982) is exceptional in that the music is so convincing in the surprising development of "a diva's love song leading to the end of an interstellar war," and in the way it closely matches the storyline and renews the era.
