Official Report
Original text

The live started with "Prologue F," the song that opened the show, as the audience's expectations filled the venue consisting of the main stage, a flower avenue, and the center stage. With narration by Grace (voice: Kikuko Inoue), an image of Valkyrie's wings attached to folded quartz floated in the air, and with a puff of smoke, the monitor rose up and the venue was instantly folded into the world of "Macross F".

The first song was "Triangler (fight on stage)". Sheryl Nome starring May'n and Ranka Lee=Nakajima Ai sang this hard number in which their feelings for Alto clashed with each other, and it seemed that from the very first song, the audience could feel each other's songs and feelings for "Macross F" at full throttle.

After the vocalists and bands from the previous "Macross" series were introduced along with their ages, Cheryl's solo part started with the words "2059 NOW", which resembled the opening of Cheryl's stage in the movie version.

After wowing the audience with "Welcome To My Fanclub's Night! The way she dominates the stage with her power vocals is truly befitting of a "fairy of the galaxy. She was a true "Galactic Fairy" as she dominated the stage with her power vocals, "I can't speak, but I'll sing for 5,000 people! Listen to my song! After shouting "I can't speak, but I will sing for 5,000 people! Take it! the pink lights in the audience shook up and down violently. The way May'n controlled the large venue with a single voice showed that May'n is a true entertainer.

The excitement was still high, but then came Lanka's solo part. Everyone embrace me! To the end of the galaxy! and "Interstellar Flight" with a nostalgic line. Her cute voice echoed through the venue as she and Giant Salamander (Lanka's mobile device) choreographed the song. When the audience united in a "Kirakk☆" pose, Nakajima was so moved that she shouted during the interlude, "I missed you, everyone! Nakajima was so moved that he shouted out his feelings during the interlude, "I missed you all so much! The audience was warmed up by the quiet "Anata no otto" followed by the colorful and magical number "Nijiiro, Kumakuma Kumakuma". The audience was filled with smiles as Lanka, who is known as "Cinderella of the Super Dimension," sang her lighthearted song, which was full of the elements that make her loved by the audience, and her bouncy voice.

During "What'bout my star?@Formo," May'n, who appeared center stage during the song, faced Nakajima on the main stage and gradually closed the distance between them by counting. The two sang with their backs to each other on the flower aisle, as if they were recreating the two who sang to appeal to Alto in the TV anime episode 15. The two of them clashed their souls once again in "Lion. The gold and green microphone stand that Yoko Kanno gave to the two at the time and that they used at the Nippon Budokan concert was remade just for this song. The duo used the microphone stand to direct a challenging gaze at the audience, as if they were trying to express their earnest desire to "survive. May'n's emotionally exposed performance and Nakajima's somewhat quiet performance seemed to convey the difference in their respective positions and feelings.

During the MC, May'n expressed her thoughts on her first solo performance in 11 years and her gratitude for being able to hold the live concert, both in person and to those watching via live viewing and streaming.
May'n spoke passionately about the setlist, "I can't survive" and "I sing with the feeling that I owe my life to everyone", while Nakajima said, "Even though I can't speak, I can feel the feelings of the audience", "Even people watching through the screen can feel my feelings like a fold wave", "I want to give back a million times more with my singing". I want to return the favor by singing a million times more.

Then they performed "Tablet" as "a song that only the two of us can sing together, a song we definitely want to sing together. The two singers' voices were filled with uncontrollable emotions as they sang this heartbreaking number about two people who love the same person but are in love with the person they are in love with. After the song was over, May'n quietly left the stage without looking at the audience.

After seeing May'n off, Nakajima sang one chorus of "Imo" a cappella and went on to "Songbird". She whispered to the audience that she had something she wanted to tell "you," her precious "you," and her voice spread quietly but surely like a wave. May'n followed with a solo performance, singing "Fairy," a song that evoked Cheryl's anguish. The song seemed to echo the feelings of Lanka and Cheryl, each of whom could not tell anyone.

During the ventilation & cool-down "ventilation time," Grace's narration played. This was not Makuhari, but the world of "Macross F". It was a difficult performance to keep that feeling alive even if no one was standing on stage.

As the count reaches zero, the folded quartz of Cheryl's earrings resonates on the monitor, and the intro to "Northern Cross" echoes through the air. May'n, silhouetted against the backlight, reappeared on the center stage. She sang the song with her arms crossed in an impressive gesture, and sang it with all her might while shaking her hair out of place. Returning to the center stage for the outro, she turned around and sang "Diamond Crevasse," one of the most famous ballads in "Macross F," with sadness and passion.

This led to the setlist that May'n and Nakajima had planned in their encore MC, "We want the audience to feel the flow of 'Macross Frontier the Movie: Sayonara no Tsubasa'".

After the video of Ranka's confession to Alto in "Sayonara no Tsubasa" was shown, they went on to "Houkago Overflow," the lyrics of which were written by Ranka herself for her special someone in the movie. Nakajima appeared on the center stage, and while her voice was lighthearted, she carried the sad and frustrating thought that "it's not necessarily true that I will see you tomorrow at school in the same way.

Then came the medley corner, one of the best parts of "Macross F". Even if I die, the song will never die! (Macross F the Movie: Sayonara no Tsubasa netabare album the end of "triangle"), which was included in the "Macross F the Movie: Final Attack Frontier: Greatest Hits! ("Northern Cross" - "Nijiiro, Kumakuma Kumakuma" - "Lion (Ai, oboete desu ka)" - "Universal Bunny" - "Obelisk"), with May'n and Nakajima singing at the center stage. By having Cheryl and Ranka sing solo songs with each other, the audience can enjoy the singing and dancing of the cute Cheryl and the sexy Ranka in this medley that truly condenses the charms of "Macross F." The images and music were beautifully synchronized, and the dialogue and sound effects in the interludes also enlivened the audience.

The next song was "Sayonara no Tsubasa - the end of triangle. Cheryl and Ranka join forces and try to support Alto as he heads toward the final battle. I don't want him to fight, but if he has to fight, I want him to survive. Many people must have been moved by her singing voice that strongly pushed the backs of their loved ones despite their complicated feelings. The final scene of Alto's confession is covered by the two singing "I love you".

Up to this point, this is a flow that was also performed at the 2019 crossover live performance, but this time it does not end here.

The battle is over, Alto has folded along with Bajra Queen, and Cheryl has fallen and will not wake up. The two of them are left alone, and Ranka sings "Hoshikira. The song quietly echoed through the hall with Ranka's stout belief that "Alto-kun will come back and Cheryl will wake up." Ranka, who has been following Cheryl all her life, vows that she will still not give up on them, even though they are now out of words and out of reach. It was a song that showed the growth of Ranka's heart.

After that, Cheryl's call rang out and May'n appeared with the intro of "dshudista b", the ED theme of "Sayonara no Tsubasa". This song, the last number of the main program, was a pop tune that reminded the audience that Sheryl, who had always fascinated people, and Ranka, who had been loved by people, had overcome many difficulties. The two were all smiles as they shouted, "Hear our song! Their voices seemed to express the subtitle of the concert, "There's more to come for the two of us.

During the encore, May'n reminisced about her teenage years when she first encountered "Macross F." She revealed how happy she was to sing for Cheryl, the "Diva of the Galaxy," but also how much pressure she felt, how painful and frustrated she was, and how she could only talk about those feelings now. She shared her feelings with Nakajima, her "only friend in the battle" who has fought with her through all the battles, and she said that there are songs that can be sung only because of the two of them, and that they can be Cheryl even after many years. He also promised that he and Aya Endo, the voice of Cheryl, have always loved Cheryl and would continue to keep her alive with their singing voices. In closing, when May'n thanked the audience for seeing her on stage today, the venue was filled with applause, and May'n's spirited MC brought the audience together as one.

Nakajima, on the other hand, talked about how she has been following Cheryl and May'n's backs all her life, and how her life changed dramatically when she met Ranka. She candidly confided that she wanted to fully affirm that she and Ranka, as a girl, were growing apart in age, and that she felt bad for Ranka, but that she felt it was important for the two of them, now that they had gained more time, to deliver live the music that Yoko Kanno had written. Nakajima's words, "We have done well until today, haven't we?" seemed to be filled with such great feelings that it was impossible to exhaust them, including their past experiences, the fact that the live was postponed once, and their gratitude to the people who had supported them throughout the years.

The real last number was "Toki no Maze," the theme song of "Macross Frontier the Movie: Toki no Maze," which was just released on November 10. Different from both the movie and the CD, this version had Cheryl's part greatly increased, and since the two of them were standing on stage now, the number was created to show their desire to deliver their voices together.

After introducing the band members and singing "SMS Platoon Song," the two paraded around the venue, looking from one corner of the audience to the other to express their appreciation. I never want to leave!" There are so many songs we haven't sung yet! They were still smiling as they exited the stage.
As they were leaving, they said, "See you later! See you again! The two shouted "See you again!" The two performed for about two and a half hours, but the stage was filled with the sparkling music of "Macross F" that has not changed over the past 11 years, and the power of the two that is still alive and kicking today.

It was announced that this performance will be made into a video work in 2022. Also, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the "Macross" series broadcast, the Kobe performance featured the results of the "Super Dimension Collaboration Song Election (!!!!!!!)," which was held on a special website and was based on the results of the "Super Dimension Collaboration Song Election. The result of the voting for the super space-time collaboration album "Deculture! Mixture！！！！！" The release of the album was also announced.

May the songs continue to be with us.

Macross F" and the "Macross" series are still going strong.
It was truly a miraculous night, showing that the momentum of the series will never change, and that the charm of the series will only increase as time goes by.
