@MysticdoubleX "tired in her voice"---I guess you are right. This film was taken at the last performance of a concert tour, so her voice must have been a little exhausted. In addition, she was (and is) still rapidly improving. Compare this performance (2009), for example, with that of her 2010 "Big Waaaaave" Budokan live (search youtube with "Lion - May'n Ver - (LIVE) May'n"), where she was on a different level not only in her voice but also in her expressiveness.
@ryofurue I completely agree with you. Both May'n and Megumi improved a lot since the first Macross F concert. Their voices just sound so much better now, and they are more relaxed on stage while performing. After watching Big Waaave you realize how much potencial this girl has.
4-minute mark onward, she *really* throws herself into it! I love how soulful she is. Her enthusiasm really makes her performance worth watching, too. More power to May'n!
@KamenRiderNecro I completely agree! She's most talented in that, I think. I mean, she seems to have a special ability to immerse herself, body and soul, in the emotional world of each song and to express it from the depth of her heart . . . as if she were the song . . . I mean, she is an embodiment of the song.
This girl is wonderful! And this comes from a die hard headbanger, too. Sweet singing voice, good stage presence even when standing still, and SO CUTE. I wish her nothing but well!
She's awesome, we all know that, but I was really surprised by the audience! They are great! If I ever had a concert, I would love it to look like this :))
i not understand what is it but i love it! know what...i from malaysia but i just can feel the song only! i watch him at Animax Musix : Link Of world! him awesome And The Best is All the People hands make it look so nice!! Nice Job Japan!
Well, technically the voice actor for Sheryl is someone else. They used May'n for the singing voice but Aya Endo was the voice actor for normal dialects.
But I did feel the same way when I first heard the singing, although the live version makes me think that she does sound different now.
I love May'n and Megumi. I think they also make amazing duets. You can't really compare them, Megumi is a more cutesy singer while May'n is a strogn voiced idol.
Also, visuals are a large part of conveying urgency to most people, and atop that as well, this version is live, it's a few BPM slower (with breaks) so she doesn't mess up, not really noticeable unless you put it into a editor tho :P
Lives have their downsides but May'n is still a great singer.
The "OP" Version that also appears with Nakajima in it is a secondary version to this song; May'n's Lion is the original and the song is credited and copyrighted to her.
The other versions were adapted in Macross.
The OP version was aired first in the Macross series I believe (Ep 18 intro) but the full and proper version which was made by Mei Nakabayashi is the original.
The reason you feel this video loses a little bit is because (as with most lives) the music vs singing isn't quite balanced...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
nope, sadly the only character that was voiced and song voiced by one person was Mari Iijima AKA Lynn Minmay. Basara, Mylene, Ranka, and even Sheryl had seperate voice actors.
I agree . i love Mayn .. but this performance of this song is a bit boring . the reason is not the instruments and so on , it is more due to the fact that originally it is a duet song ...
in my opinion the voice is much louder than the instruments like drum.
and please understand that i dont dislike mayn in general. i love her music and also macross f !! but this particular performance seems boring to me....

It's because the song was originally intended for only May'N.
She apparently brought it to Nakajima to sing together for fun, and when it sounded well they went and had it done as a duet.
