Macross Flashback 2012 - LD



Three years after the successful run of Macross the Movie (1984), Flashback 2012 was released. This beautiful music video, which included clips from the TV series and the Movie, had some new animation as well "live" images. The songs included the following, in the order of played: Angel's Colors (first half); Sunset Beach; Zero-G Love; Little White Dragon; Silver Moon, Red Moon; Ai Wa Nagereru Part II (full version), Cinderalla (a capella version); Do You Remember Love?; Angel's Colors; and Runner. Except for the last song, all songs were performed by Mari Iijima, seiyuu for Lynn Minmay. Runner was a duet of Mari Iijima and Makoto Fujihara. The most interesting of them all was Ai Wa Nagereru. It was the title of episode 27, where it was originally played on. Also, it seems that no Macross audio CD has been released with the full version of this song. What made this video different from all the others was that there was some footage of World War II Japanese Soldiers scene throughout the video. While these images were used in a later video, this was the only one that used the images all throughout the entire song. The symbolism was too obvious. When images of Minmay, Hikura, Misa, Roy, and Claudia were flashed, you saw Japanese Soldiers symbolizing the "good guys." However, when you saw the Zentran or destruction, you saw American Bombers - the "bad guys." The interpretation of the video can vary but it seemed the past, as evident in flashbacks in all their anime, is very important to the Japanese - never forget the past. The new animation that was shown at the beginning and at the end was extremely beautiful. Parts of this was shown during the end credits of later pressings of the Macross the Movie LD.

While the press run of the LD seemed to have been very short, it has since been reissued onto DVD. In addition, in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Macross, this video has been reissued on Blue Ray. It was only sold with the Limited Edition Macross the Movie Hybrid Pack (PS3 + BD).

Product ID was BEAL-132. It was published by Bandai Visual and released in 1987. UPC Bar Code - 4966 237 01029 7. It was priced at Y8570.

Eretzvaju Original Soundtrack



Eretzvaju Playstation fighting game was released in the U.S. under the name "Evil Zone." This soundtrack was NOT the music you heard on the U.S. version (the US version had some forgettable music). Unfortunately, the soundtrack was missing the lovely OP song "Kiss in the Dark" by Masami Okui. It does have the song played during Erel's stage, "Be Fight!!", though its a different version. In the game, it was performed by Erel's Seiyuu Houko Kuwashima. But due to various reasons (likely copyright), it was performed by Yumi Asada. The last track seemed to have every voice dialogue from every single character in the game.

Product ID was AZCA-10018. It was published by A'zip Music Inc. and released in 2/26/1999. UPC Bar Code - 516507 700252. It was priced at Y2854. Total length of the CD was 61:14.

2. A vision 03:09
3. The edge 03:16
4. Be Fight!! (Yumi Asada) 03:54

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind: Seven Days of Fire CDV



Nausicaa...perhaps the most charismatic anime character ever created. This CDV (CD format Video disc playable only in LD players) featured images of the beautiful artistry and background images. It seemed to have derived from early line-art and sketches. The title of the music played during the video was Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa - opening, which was the first track on the soundtrack. It came in a clear amber case but the disc itself was silver. The black & white image below is from the inner booklet.




Product ID was TKFA-55004. It was published by Tokuma Japan Corporation and released in 12/21/1990. UPC Bar Code - 4988 008 00808 1. It was priced at Y1200. Total length of the CD was 03:04.
