This is such a beautiful piece of writing in the orchestration. It's immediately recognisable as the melody from Ranka's earlier song, but with a the orchestration modulated into the minor key, which with the discordant guitar and heavy drum track, gives it the dark overtones (but somehow leaving the melody untouched in the major key), until 2:39, when suddenly the second melody cuts in with a shift to the major in all parts, which leads to the tingle moment of emotional lift at that point. And all this is counterpointed with the unusual low harmony multi-tracked by Megumi. Complete brilliance.

I was just pissed off this entire episode really. Ranka was being used, Sheryl was being thrown away, Alto was being replaced by that weird guy... it all seemed wrong and like a conspiracy. I wanted the bowl cut hair guy to get shot... the whole episode just annoyed the shit out of me.
I have such mixed feelings for this version of the song. It's a really epic score, and it never fails to get me hyped. But at the same time, particularly in canon, it's a perversion of the original song. A song for peace being used for war; the irony is strong.
Aimo aimo neederu ruushe Uchinarase ima shouri no kane o Koko wa arata na ware no hoshi Aimo aimo neederu ruushe Furikazase ima warera no hata o Koko wa arata na kami no kuni Susume furontia Hokori takaki na o idaite Tobe furontia Nemureru chikara yobisamase
903IDFOLEY and that aired with massive alien bug murder. Right when we thing there's more to these things. Hey you distract them with a song of war and we will just shoot them up until every last one of them is dead
i can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since Macross Frontier first came out, it feels like yesterday that i watched it for the first time with my dad (granted that was about 4 years after it came out, but still...)
The emotions of this song are piercing my heart D:D: I'm actually crying while listening to it. And the base part is so powerful its amplifying the effects Incredibly.
Aimo, Aimo, nedel lhushe. Uchinarase ima shouri no kane o (Strike now the bell of victory!) Koko wa arata na ware no hoshi (This is our new star.) Aimo, Aimo, nedel lhushe. Furikazase ima warera no hata o (Ware high now our banner!) Koko wa arata na kami no kumi (This is the land of a new god.)
i do think the layers to these two songs are cool it seems that the first one has some odd lyrical flow to sell the idea that its an alien song while this one is more geared to be more conventional and i can definitely see why this affected the varja in such a way
Oh, man. I love that show too. That show definitely had a great way of demonstrating power. Seriously, they were throwing galaxies! XD And the music is freakin' awesome! Raw Raw Fight the Power!
This...songs...id never heard this type of songs..they re idk....like i am more emotional...or something...every times when im going out...when i look at the sky i remember Alto when he says " I want to fly on a real sky with clouds" i cannot remove that from my mind idk..why but i think Macross Frontier is the best anime ive watched ever...i love him..
yeah...i was sad when i herd this version of the song in the anime....grace killed it!! Aimo is supposed to be a love song for the vajra....not a battle song T-T
The Universe is a very big place and we've been around for a very short term, I have no doubt in my mind there's life out there. There's just so much space to go round.
Aimo, Aimo, nedel lhushe. Ikazuchi o tazusaete (With raging thunder in hand,) Susume (Onward!) Koko ni kizuke yo waga kokyou (Build here our homeland.)
we answered ur call my princess..lets fight to the death!! =P truly mesmerized song when the scene from previous episode builds up and making this somewhat like a crusade to the Vajra race.
i'm not big fan of the show but i have to admit frontier just put me a huge punch in the face, the last space fight is really epic. And this one was better than the last maccros they have done ( this oen a huge crap).
'aimo, aimo nedel lhushe' uchinarase ima shouri no kane o "strike now the bell of victory" koko wa araka no ware no hoshi "this is our new star" 'aimo aimo nedel lhushe' furikazase ima warera no hata o "wave high now our banner!" koko wa arata no kami no kuni "this is the land of a new god" SUSUME FRONTIER "Onward, Frontier!!"
@Hematemesis I'm not big fan of Zero myself but it's serious. Anyway, I have hard time taking seriously claim that Frontier "doesn't have soul" - in it appears pretty much all motifs, storytelling concerns etc. that Kawamori has done through his career from Macross to Escaflowne to Arjuna with its hidden environmentalism and even Zen philosophy (haragei is thematically crucial, the Vajra "brain" residing in stomach was no coincidence)... SDF Macross was just as chockful with references + cliches
every time i hear this I imagine pilots boarding their air craft, and as they look up to see the morning sun they see their Captain, and their Captain salutes them. As they take off they all begin to think of their loved ones and off they go into a battle they might never return too...
@Hematemesis Plus is the most serious and mature Macross story in terms of tone. Only one that compares to it is Macross Zero. But Frontier was made as "21st Century SDF Macross" for new gen. AND as a love letter for the franchise as whole so of course there are similarities! Macross OVAs like Plus and Zero are always more distinguished while the series (original, 7 and Frontier) follow general basic patterns. Patterns that even Plus relies on heavily. But I respect your opinion so...whatever :)
@Hematemesis Triangle is resolved in the film version. And the characters definetly evolve through the story, just compare Ranka in final episode to one in first episode! Ditto for Sheryl and hell, Alto too. Ep 23 shows Alto's perception of Frontier colony has completely changed for starters. I recommend waiting for Sayonara no Tsubasa BD/DVD release :)
this show is incredible, definitely the best pairing of music and anime. plz tell me if i am wrong. i love this version of aimo but they are both great.
Aimo aimo neederu ruushe Ikazuchi o tazusaete susume Koko ni kizuke yo ; waga kokyou Erabareshi tami yo ryuusei to tomo ni honoo moyase Yami o kirisaite towa no eikou o warera no te ni Aimo aimo neederu ruushe Furikazase ima warera no hata o Koko wa arata na kami no kuni
Nicolas Novoa does that matter? It has the same vibe and intense drumming. The notes are irrelevant it's mostly the drums that make it similar to the original Halo OP.
Yyme watareshi tami yo (You, who cross over dreams,) Ryuusei no mama de (Remain as shooting stars,) Honoo modosou (Let's return the flame...) Honoo modosou (Let's return the flame...)

2019!! Still cant move on
No doubt. This is Yoko Kanno, hence it turns into a classic the first time it is played.
This is such a beautiful piece of writing in the orchestration.
It's immediately recognisable as the melody from Ranka's earlier song, but with a the orchestration modulated into the minor key, which with the discordant guitar and heavy drum track, gives it the dark overtones (but somehow leaving the melody untouched in the major key), until 2:39, when suddenly the second melody cuts in with a shift to the major in all parts, which leads to the tingle moment of emotional lift at that point.

susume frontier!!
Furte Frontier to 2020
2021 💚
They turned sweetness into a war cry with bug murder
Ah, the first notes start playing, and I still get goosebumps after all those years after the show...
Thanks for uploading!!
i fell the same ;v
I got goosebumps when I watched ep1

I'm a pretty big fan of how somebody managed to turn a futuristic love song into a 4 and a half minute long battle cry.
Fatman311 Pretty ironic since Ranka did sing it in battle. LUL
The creators of the anime and its music you mean? ^_^
If a battle must be fought let it be for love
Aimo aimo neederu ruushe

I'm with you there. My feelings exactly about this song and that episode.
In the movie he literally get shot :D
welp it really was a conspiracy because of Sheryl's bitch of a manager. At least she had what was coming to her in the end
I have such mixed feelings for this version of the song. It's a really epic score, and it never fails to get me hyped. But at the same time, particularly in canon, it's a perversion of the original song. A song for peace being used for war; the irony is strong.
That's the mission failed.
That was the goal of this song .. ;) Aimo's got more peaceful versions.
The perversion symbolism fits well with what Galaxy Fleet's agenda was.

*Weaponised Song of Victory* just has such a nice ring to it...
903IDFOLEY and that aired with massive alien bug murder. Right when we thing there's more to these things. Hey you distract them with a song of war and we will just shoot them up until every last one of them is dead
As much as this song brings only hurt to my heart from a plot point of view, i really love this version and it gives me chills.
this song is such an epic and sad version of the original, used for war instead of peace
If this was played on Code Geass, Lelouch would have easily conquered the world.
+dave19941000 Don't remember that happening to him, but he did pretty much conquer it.
he did conquered the world, and at a high price
Ich mag die die Musik in Macross Frontier, hab ich jetzt endlich zuende gesehn und war nicht enttäuscht Macross geguckt zu gehaben.
THX for upping yo.
i can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since Macross Frontier first came out, it feels like yesterday that i watched it for the first time with my dad (granted that was about 4 years after it came out, but still...)
Come back! It’s been 16 years!
2020 🙌
The emotions of this song are piercing my heart D:D: I'm actually crying while listening to it. And the base part is so powerful its amplifying the effects Incredibly.
Susume Frontier (Onward, Frontier!)
Hokori-takaki yabou daite (Embrace proud ambition.)
Tobe Frontier (Fly, Frontier!)
Nemuraru chikare yobisamase (Call forth your slumbering power.)
THIS MUSIC FILLS MY BODY WITH THE FEELING OF HOPE!
ojala que cosas como estas perduren por siempre y nunca se pierdad.....
i get shivers down my spine everytime she sings during battle, its incredible
Aimo, Aimo, nedel lhushe.
Uchinarase ima shouri no kane o (Strike now the bell of victory!)
Koko wa arata na ware no hoshi (This is our new star.)
Aimo, Aimo, nedel lhushe.
Furikazase ima warera no hata o (Ware high now our banner!)
Koko wa arata na kami no kumi (This is the land of a new god.)
2020 pandemic here...

LIVE LONG MACROSS FRONTIER
yup
+3 YEARS
i do think the layers to these two songs are cool it seems that the first one has some odd lyrical flow to sell the idea that its an alien song while this one is more geared to be more conventional and i can definitely see why this affected the varja in such a way
the emotion in this song is just overwhelming!
I though I was the only person in the universe who cries with this song! =) Amazing and touching song
Ranka Rocks ! (and Megumi as well)
Sheryl nome too is a nice singer
Of these 300k views, I'm sure half of them were me...
Long live Macross!
That explains why some YT videos get 50+ million views then. The fanatics.
... and the under-the-table money google receives for increasing views counts. Not referring to this video, of course.
my favorite version of Aimo was when her mother singing it, forgot what episode that was, but that made the most goosebumps i had.
Whats a goosebumps ??
I do t know what is it?
+Reza Deni saputra Try searching the internet.
/watch?v=YvhtQ-xFcfQ
Oh, man. I love that show too. That show definitely had a great way of demonstrating power. Seriously, they were throwing galaxies! XD And the music is freakin' awesome! Raw Raw Fight the Power!
FRONTIER CANON, FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I kinda imagine some kind of epic water magic or waterbending in a ritualistic dance while in action against something.
Ahhh.... STILL love it!
Same here :v
Listening this song on the battlefield....EPIC!
1:26 German: Vorwärts, Frontier! Umarme unser stolzes Bestreben. Flieg, Frontier! Befrei dich von deinem Schlummer. Aimo, aimo...........
This song is so bloody epic! I love it!
Can't decide, which I like better: Battle version or the other... Both are so beautiful! :)
Now this is what I call majestic!
This...songs...id never heard this type of songs..they re idk....like i am more emotional...or something...every times when im going out...when i look at the sky i remember Alto when he says " I want to fly on a real sky with clouds" i cannot remove that from my mind idk..why but i think Macross Frontier is the best anime ive watched ever...i love him..
This is the equal to "Love drifts away Battle version" in the original serie Macross TV
yeah...i was sad when i herd this version of the song in the anime....grace killed it!! Aimo is supposed to be a love song for the vajra....not a battle song T-T
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard...
The Universe is a very big place and we've been around for a very short term, I have no doubt in my mind there's life out there. There's just so much space to go round.
Aimo, Aimo, nedel lhushe.
Ikazuchi o tazusaete (With raging thunder in hand,)
Susume (Onward!)
Koko ni kizuke yo waga kokyou (Build here our homeland.)
I´v never seen this anime, but this song is beautiful, love her voice, wow -w-
Have you seen it by now?
susume frontier
best part
just wanted to write it too :D
I've been searching for this forever. ;o
Thanks for the upload! :D
we answered ur call my princess..lets fight to the death!! =P
truly mesmerized song when the scene from previous episode builds up and making this somewhat like a crusade to the Vajra race.
Thanks for putting this one up, hearing Ranka singing is always a joy. Even if it's this version. I like this one less than Aimo.
Best battle song! Long live Macross Frontier! :3
After all this time this song still slaps
2021, still here!
2018?
2018 :3
yep
Here x)

i'm not big fan of the show but i have to admit frontier just put me a huge punch in the face, the last space fight is really epic.
And this one was better than the last maccros they have done ( this oen a huge crap).
'aimo, aimo nedel lhushe'

Love this song!!!

Should be called the hymn of victory! Epic.
...Warms the heart...
every time i hear this I imagine pilots boarding their air craft, and as they look up to see the morning sun they see their Captain, and their Captain salutes them. As they take off they all begin to think of their loved ones and off they go into a battle they might never return too...
En route for 2020
I like the battle version alot and it was make for the military/SMS. "Join the SMS! We need you." kind of feel-good song.
War Thunder > Airacobra > Aimo Battle Version > Instant God Mode!
literally playing this today, 2019.. doing this exact thing! amen brother. See you 5 years ago!

hmm... that makes about 8 songs downloaded from this anime now XD thx fer the upload
This + War Thunder = Epic
I love this song a lot man nice 😭
Somebody use this song for star wars battlefront 2 or star wars squadron
you never know what else is out there so something like the Vajra could live
it was miss lyn MI may then Sheryl and ranka there like the best singers in the Anime series
Alan Son and now there is junna doing mikumo in macross delta and rocking out all previous amazing vocal
Arghhhh this song stuck in my headdddddd
@Hematemesis Triangle is resolved in the film version. And the characters definetly evolve through the story, just compare Ranka in final episode to one in first episode!
