The movie had its problems, but this song's scene was truly one of a kind. There had never been anything like it and there hasn't been anything like it since then. It was the perfect storm of amazing music, animation, and emotion.
The only other musical scenes in anime that I can think of that come close to achieving what DYRL did are Komm Susser Tod in End of Evangelion and Green Bird in Cowboy Bebop.
@700gsteak This is a misunderstanding. The VAST majority of humanity's collection of enemies joined/assimilated or became allies of humanity THANKS to the songs.
Only the minority who remained hostile was gunned down. Without music and culture, humanity would have lost.
and badly at that... as far as my memory serves, it always ends with a tiny human fleet (a few hundred thousand humans), against hundred million strong enemies...
I'm just saying that the whole 'win the war with love and culture' they showed off in Macross should also be used in other big sci-fi and fantasy epics for awesome effect (and lulz). Nothing's better than a sweet, sappy love song playing over the sounds of explosions and heads being blown off. : p
@TheBlackPigeon Ultimately, the "solve conflict with love and understanding, not fighting" thing kinda falls down when you remember that all of the major conflicts in the Macross saga have been solved...by killing people.
@ Leafshinoby: Hey, i sing it all the time, most ppl around me a soul-less dudes who never even heard of manga (animes)... when they ask me it tell them i know japanese (lol!) they are so amazed that no one who cares about my voice! Ha!
its funny.I often pratice a lot of the Macross songs and people still come to this one.one day I have to see which is more popular.I honestly believe the Legend still has the lead.
They left earth on the first interstellar colonization ship together. After a couple of years on their voyage, contact was lost. There's no official word on their demise, but I could see it becoming an interesting story line in a future series.
con esta cancion enamore a mi novia esta cancion si vale la pena no como el regueton joder... la k canta tiene una bonita bos ... k viva el anime carajo....
Buenisima estacancion...tiene recuerdos lindos para mi, no solo por lapelicula sino porque la letra me hace acordar a una persona especial.... I LOVE YOU SO...
@Leafshinoby do what you want to do dude... as long as you know you're not gay or anything or whatever it is you're worried about people thinking... then it's fine. hell... I sing it all the time when I'm at work... people can say what they want to, it's what you like and that's all that matters.
@thataccentgamer Well not really, I just want to sing this great song without being thought as a gay, that's all. This song captured my heart first time I heard it, and it still does, first time expression for me was "Epic song" and gave me goose bumps.
If you like or love anime like me, I recommend you to watch it, the series are hard to find, but the movie sums all the episodes in one, and it's easier to find! A great anime from my generation 80's ~90's, I give it 10/10
Que gran compositor es Kasuhiko Katoh, sus temas coronaron uyna de las mejores series de TV de la historia y de nuestras vidas,macross no seria o uqe es sin su musica y talento,me duela sabre que murio, por simpre lo recordare en cada ua de sus canciones.
que marabilla de cancion me trae grandes recuerdos pero pregunto como se llama la cancion o como la encuentro es la que canta minmay en la batalla contra los centraedi es cuando se dan contra mas de cuatro millones de naves sentraedi.
o grax xesto...la pelikula esta...es lokaxa..y esta cancion...me iso iorar xD! ...q lexero el pata...aunq la dejo...tan linda eia...wno...q idiota...pero lokaxo..!
Truly one of the best classic anime songs that DEFINED the entire genre and set groundbreaking standards in anime! Mari's tender and sweet vocals perfectly capture the essence of youth, struggles, melancholy, hope and universal love.
Unsurprisingly Ai, Oboete imasu ka withstands the test of time and remains dear in the hearts and memories of countless fans and is gaining new fans with Macross Frontier! Cheers!
That's one thing I loved about the Macross story lines. Since there is (almost) always a singer, and the same Macross universe (for the most part), the new singer can always talk about Minmay and her songs, and give a new rendition of old classics.
And it is true. Even in RL, these Minmay songs have inspired many people, as well as the made-up singers in the Macross stories.
The movie had its problems, but this song's scene was truly one of a kind. There had never been anything like it and there hasn't been anything like it since then. It was the perfect storm of amazing music, animation, and emotion.

That's one thing I loved about the Macross story lines. Since there is (almost) always a singer, and the same Macross universe (for the most part), the new singer can always talk about Minmay and her songs, and give a new rendition of old classics.
And it is true. Even in RL, these Minmay songs have inspired many people, as well as the made-up singers in the Macross stories.
