Lynn Minmay VS Ranka Lee~Watashi no Kare wa Pilot~

[ellnats]

minmay forever

[butterfly11331]

for me personaly id choose ranka bc its lower but this isnt my favorite song of hers

[wildbird5150]

Minmay is better than Ranka.

[HoshiAstarte]

I am always a bit surprised more people don't compare Ranka's version to Mylene's rather than Minmay's. The music is almost directly based on Mylene's more techno version rather than Minmay's sweeter one. As to vocals, I would have to say I find Minmay and Mylene a bit more appealing though that is personal taste.

[aesopo12]

Miss Nakajima ,she sings bad in the live

[aesopo12]

中島さんはLIVE（コンサート）中の歌が下手で、音が悪いです­。

[xXmonce3Xx]

Ranka!!! ^^



[xxblazingKiLLjoYxx]

Who is this? What's it from?

[fangirl801lost]

Minmay is great but Ranka just radiates so much more cuteness!!! It fits the song better. Minmay is more the classic beauty.

[sivermoon222]

Isnt it oveus ranka is better

[butterfly11331]

ranka

[suikahakurei]

Ranka = Minmay (I mean seriously can you choose ?) <3

[xSkye629x]

I think this is highly up to taste, Minmay have better vocals and more oldschool bgm. Rankas have slightly worse vocals but it makes up with more upbeat modern bgm, I simply prefer Rankas version due to the bgm, and the dancing and dogfighting scenes during the song. Im a newer fan so thats my 2¢

[soulgazer014]

Ranka.

[808jspekeg6]

Minmay/SDF-Macross > Ranka/Macross Frontier

Ranka is living in Minmay's shadow. Hell, she even has to sing Minmay's classics to get noticed.

[thesupperkittylover]

Ranka>Minmei 

[KenshinHi]

Ranka it´s cute, however in musical terms, Lynn Minmei really sings, Ranka only talks.

[guyver026]

Minmei is better but they are both better than Reba West.

[silvermoonredmoon]

Minmay>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>>>>>>>>>Ranka

[ciozite]

Minmay Vs Ranka (>_<) Dilema!

[BaranoOtome]

Lynn owns Ranka... Nothing more to say D;

[ykcamseyer]

I like the way Sheryl sang it in the Nyan Nyan service medley more...

But that's just my taste...

Just wanted to see what the original is like

[animecosplay1001]

I like ranka version better

[katjakitty1]

Kyun Kyun is by lynn way better bun ranka´s version is beter

[katjakitty1]

@katjakitty1 better*

[saradavinci1995]

Ranka-chan all the way~

[Xephon0930]

The voice actor of Minmay,Mari Iijima basically made this song while Ranka's VA Megumi Nakajima is having a tough act to follow. I can't make an objective point since there is a bit of bias towards Mari Iijima.

[ApsalusSigma]

Both are pretty good

If I had to vote, It be Ranka

If I had to say a reason, it be the instuments

[killua121212]

LYNN MINMAY THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[missmacross]

Minmay, the best ever.

[BradleyMcCloud]

Where's Mylene Jenius' version?

[sakurikitty]

Ranka is better!!! I like more Ranka´s version is really cuteee kawaiii *-*

minmay´s version I see very old. Sorry for spelling errors, my natal idiom is Spanish

[tanatej]

I feel like firing a barrage of missiles when listening to Minmay's version...

So it's Minmay for me

[Darkira05]

Ranka.

[10Mara91]

1:16 Kyun Kyun~ Kyun Kyun~~

GO RANKA LEE!!!

[RikkuDieOlleNuss]

RANKA *_* ftw

[patricklukcy13]

minmay's is better. by far

[crimsonlilyfairy]

huh...which mary sue is thebest mary sue? ...i think Ranka has to win this one. she's a clutz and she gets the guy. XP

as 4 the better song...Minmay

[thethessaliah]

@crimsonlilyfairy Ranka doesn't get the guy (she got rejected).

[IrohaWaltz]

@crimsonlilyfairy Actually....neither get the guy. XD

[amutokashinohanabusa]

MINMAY'S IS SOOO CUTE!!!! <3

[purdoy25]

Do I need to watch the old series to understand the new one? XD

[victorygreen]

Lynn Minmay IS the legend in the Macross Universe. Nekki Basara, Sheryl Nome, Myung Fang Lone, Ranka Lee, Mylene F. Jenius, Wendy Rider, and the Milky Dolls have all had their inspiration from Lynn Minmay. Ranka is ok, but Minmay was the one who first sang the song and it is heavily associated with her next to the legendary Ai Oboete Imasu Ka? Ranka sure liked to cover Minmay's songs though.

[sypoth]

While Ranka's version has a better beat, Minmei hits all the right highs, lows, and holds her notes better than Ranka. It doesn't sound as muffled and gives the song a fuller experience that is ultimately more aesthetically pleasing on the ears. My vote is for Minmei, the legendary songstress to whom all others aspire in the world that is Macross.

[nadeshiko555]

I can't choose. They are both so cute and so epic but I just can't choose. I will have to say its a tie. Nyan Nyan!~ Nyan Nyan!~ Ni hao nyan!!~ Gorgeous!~ Delicous!~ Deculture!~

[Sakuraleaf2007]

I ADORE Minmay's version. Is SUPER cute! And I don't think anybody should take the dancing into consideration because Minmay's from the 80's! Come on! Give the girl a break! XD

[Ericx11189]

I vote for Minmay's ver..

[Esty2326]

Minmay's version has an old, nostelgic feel to it, but it also sounds so Prime time television. Her singing is cuter though but I prefer Ranka's version..

Only because Ranka dances cuter & sings stronger, Minmay though is the original queen of this track, and I'm saying this after watching Macross SDF & Macross Frontier back to back.

[hantiop]

Minmay's "Kyuun kyuun" conquers me!

[prowse123]

their both good and i like them both but I LOVE minmay\s version there's difference in love and like ^^

[BriteStarri]

i like ranka's cause it sound less like lament (she sound 's like she understands and is use to it) While minmay's sound's like shes a little upset with her bf

[keatsuki]

simple i like both. i like rankas singing voice and minmays kyuun part either way ther both cute no need to hate on the other lol

[Akihime14]

Ranka Lee ^^the best!

[ParadoxZero]

...i still think Ranka's "KYUN KYUN" is better

[sypoth]

@ParadoxZero Except that Ranka says Byun Byun while Minmei, the original performer who set the standard sings it with Kyun Kyun.

[ssonic15]

Minmay's is superior, but Rankas is anything but suck.

[xDrk21x]

Nah prefiero 100% lynn minmay xD!!!...

Soy fans de Ranka Lee pero aun asi no le queda el perfil de las canciones de lynn minmay ya que son unicas *¬*!!!..

[HelloMelonbread]

I personally just don't like the music accompanying Ranka's version. It seems in contrast to the pure bubblegum pop that is the rest of the song.

[thethessaliah]

MINMAY'S 100%!

It's a travesty to compare Minmay as singer or character to Ranka... She's one of the most accomplished and complex characters in Macross. Ranka's generic voice and subpar development? She may try to copy Minmay, but isn't good enough.

[Reach3521]

They should do oboete imasuka ranka vs minmay ver im looking for it though

[congthanh3788]

Minmay's version belongs to adults .In contrast Ranka's one belongs to teenage.

[Reach3521]

@congthanh3788 I say ranka's version is better i don't say this cause Im 18 i say this cause in ranka's anime everything is clearer to see and the sound is more vivid plus i don't like minmay she doesn't have a better singing voice than ranka

[Sakuraleaf2007]

I like Minmay's much better. Those "Kyuun"s in Ranka's version are pitch too low, the whole song is. The bg music for Minmay's is also better. It sounds like a new singers first single. Ranka's sounds like they put it through a beat box.

P.S Give Minmay's dancing a break! She's working on 80's animation here!

[Luciananami890]

both xD

both are cute

[xnieax]

I love both version.

[AlbinoBunnyCorp]

Minmay's original seems like it came right out of Sailor Moon. It brings back a lot of memories. But I'm going to say I like Ranka's version more because it's more peppy to me and she looks so adorable dancing to it! I also like Megumi Nakajima as an idol, and I have Ranka cosplay. I do think both versions are very cute, and though I love Ranka so much, it was hard to decide between the two.

GORJASU, DERICHASU, DECARUCHAA!

[kotetsulover185]

personally i lik ranka's one betta xD there's so much more power in her voice

[dave19941000]

A Robotech fan gave this a thumbs down. :(

[okitasemi]

Minmay wins for sure...she sings so much better. Ranka is just cutsey...

[BradleyMcCloud]

Where's Mylene's version?

[PrincessLelouch]

I like Ranka's better, because her voice is much more confident and strong, yet still cute~ And because the image quality of Ranka's is much better too.

[GothikOrk]

Is this Anime Idol?

[RimaChan0]

i personaly like ranka's beter

[leonheart666]

MInmay has a cuter Kyuun

[keita1889]

minmay's version more attractive and powerful.

but ranka's ver is qute.

[TheStarrysea]

wow, both are great! I can't help but love them both.

[SweetyLeia]

Ranka Lee is more energic !!!

[dave19941000]

DECULTERE

[jin1105]

Sheryl's version! lol kidding XD

I think Minmay and Ranka are in different levels. so you can't really say who's better.

i just love them both. period :D

[sakurakinomoto98]

Both of them sound so cute!!!!!

[buroguy32]

Ok fans don't argue! Ha!ha! Lyn minmay is perfect for her own era! And of course ranka lee is also perfect in her own era too. It's just they are both good in their own time. Someday der will be a new minmay and ranka will popped out again.

[Leafshinoby]

Their both good and... it's unfair that you showed that nyan nyan song Minnmay didnt have that <_<

[filledvoid]

The Minmay version actually tried to emphasize the singer the music is only set as minor.

The Ranka version tried to meld the singer with the music.

Minmay's "kyun" has more "kyu-" in it emphasizing a cute tone.

Ranka's "kyun" is more like "kyuuhn~" with a flowing gentle tone.

Minmay's version has a more caressing tone and touches the heart.

Ranka's version has a somewhat artificial feel to it. It's beautiful to hear, but it doesn't touch as deeply as Minmay's.

Both are good.

[hentailuvr18]

@filledvoid very well said.

[itagariya]

ミンメイちゃんに１票

[candytart145]

i think there both really good cause minmay is cute and rankas is very cute too xD AHHHHH SO HARD TO PICK!

[PetiteOzma]

The video footage used for Minmey is actually largely from the Shao Pai Long number in flashback.

[PhsykoOmen]

Minmay > ranka, on everything. WE LOVE MINMAY!

[carrotmayuka]

Ranka-chan she has much nicer version and well improved :D

[panzerthedog1313131]

ranka lee

[RikaHagall]

Rankaaaaaaa ^____^

[victorygreen]

L-O-V-E Lovely Minmay! :)

[shijai2]

A classic is a classic I'll give you that. Its sounds so nostalgic. At the same time Ranka's version is so cute, how could you not jump all over that?

I still love them both though~

[chiiman666]

pierde puntos ranka por confundir la cancion al final con su comercial y caerse XD...

atte: los juezes

[animewar999]

I like both!!!!

[Endymionsan]

Me too ^_^

[Crystalize96]

Hmm, at first I like Ranka's version better, but the more I listened to it, the nore the original grew on me. So I'm at a tie here. But I agree with Phobotech, Minmay does have the "Kyuun kyuun" over Ranka.

And I have to wonder... why the Nyan Nyan song at the end? 8D

[sherlynchang]

@Crystalize96 haha~coz feel a bit interesting ^^

[qcfx2a]

I like ranka's better. Really love her deep normal sounding voice over minmay's anime voice. Although I still love the 70's sound of the original

[jer18x]

Love them both "PERIOD"

[Phobotech]

*sigh*.......though the more I listen to Ranka's version the more I like it.

I just don't like how she sings "Kyuun kyuun" ...I think Minmay still has THAT over her.

[Phobotech]

I feel bad for whoever needed to sing on behalf of Ranka Lee... it's incredibly difficult to outdo Mari Iijima's Minmay.

Sound quality completely aside. The little fast paced techno-drums kinda diminish the song on Ranka's part, and the musicianship behind Minmay's song couple nicely in my opinion.

Gotta give it up for the classic. :D

[berrybeautyberry]

I find Minmay's version cuter. X3

[PreciousThingsVN]

@berrybeautyberry i totally agree

[VidollMistress]

what?!?! im so confused!!! so...id macross frontier copied off of this?!?!

[hotohori69]

Macross frontier is a continuation of the Macross story. By this time "Watashi no Kare wa Pilot" is considered a legendary song. The storyline in Macross Frontier has striking similarities to that of the original macross but i would consider it more of an homage to the original.

[Chrismonchan]

Macross frontier redid the song from the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

[911sushi]

there both good i like ranka more but you have to remember minmay is obviously from a old anime so she doesnt sound as good it may just be the fact that her part in this video is muffled

[OtaruxD3]

hmm the both are good, but the lyn minmay version is much better(mari ijima version).

[gekidosuru]

macross is oldddddddd and i like rankas version better

[zce813]

first ranka rock and second macross is olddddddd

[NyaMewCinnamon]

I like them both but I lean towards Ranka. I know lots of people will probably hate me for saying this but I'm just not much of a Minmay fan (although I do recognize her importance to the series, don't get me wrong)

[34mea12]

Go Ranka chan!!!!!!!!!!

[amulethearthlove]

RANKA LEE ♥♥♥

[NYtassu]

Same here!

[froggiefan95]

I've never Minmays voice before, its cute. But Ranka is better than her, to be honest. she has more of a voice and she can actually sing. :|

[hinata1212]

both are really great but because the voices are to vastly different, the voice fits the character singing, Lynn-chan was a soft sweet and shy character, but Ranka seems to be the opposite so her version fits her while Lynn's version fit her, but both are really good

[RikkuFukaimori]

I saw Ranka as a shy character, she's just good at expressing herself during singing =)

[ikazukinokami]

Minmay version is better.

[QueenStrawberryPop]

Their both so darn cute! <333

[masuoasc]

I personally think that lin minmay is best, for me was a felony who has used one of the songs with her rank, to do nothing until the sound of the old Macross series is better than less time with these songs

[Garyu87]

Both of them are Amazing in sense of era.

Meaning Mimmay is the best oldies version while Ranka is the modern version. The Good thing about the song is the lyric an the way to express it. Everything is the same except for the sound only. Well I liked both of them but now i rather prefer the modern version because im a modern person...he heh!

[sic999]

Lynn minmay can't be compare :D she is the best xD

[JakobderLugner]

no way! ranka > minmay. ranka has more substance than minmay but minmay's songs > ranka's songs.

[thethessaliah]

@JakobderLugner 'Substance' LOL. You mean, a kiddie who is unable to deal with stress, acts unprofessional to ditch her concerts (unlike Minmay who ONCE walked MILES to do one for charity), is unable to be nothing but a damsel in distress that used song to get people killed has it over a beautiful girl who despite her immaturities and flaws, she was forced to grow up and became mankind's savior, searching for the meaning of her songs UNRELATED to a guy?

I wish Ranka had given a chance to grow.

[JakobderLugner]

@thethessaliah I never said ranka was a good person. I just thought she was a more interesting character

[Kidalanna]

Huaau~ I think both of them are spiffy. ^^

They're both so adorable characters. :3

[bob515151]

like minmay's better, nice video.

[BlackRockShooter]

I think Rankas Version is better :3!

[sherlynchang]

haha~ i think both version nice : ) thx 4 comment~

[RankaLin]

Yeah that's my choice too :D

Love you Ranka Lee =D!
