Macross F Movie: the false DIVA Trailer At Bandai Channel
MINOR UPDATE: More video links at the comments, some more interesting screen shots done.
Head on down:
You will need a Japanese IP address to be able to view the trailer. I will still be looking for alternative means to view it for those who can’t view it Please check the comments of this page for alternative viewing links. The first song played is Pink Monsoon, then Don’t be Late. So far, here are some interesting screenshots:

Sheryl and Alto

Sheryl’s concert insignia. Concert hall from past trailer for reference. Insignia hovers above and around the hall.

Obligatory for this website

Sheryl: Lies

Ranka: Truth

Whose hand?

Brera’s new costume, I like it

A new scene? The costume on that hand is not familiar.

Alto and Sheryl recreating the hand flight scene of Isamu and Myung?
Yahk, deculture!

Suspected Sheryl line going ‘There’s no way a song can save the galaxy’ on the flyer… and it was bwhaahaha ^^V such a Sheryl thing to say. I think the movie’s going to work well, if 60% is new footage then I think ‘ll be good. The trailer’s good, enough to get me excited but doesn’t give too much away. Perfect!

BTW, the illustration of Sheryl on the movie cover has some sort of fail in it:

Is that a bunny tail on the thong? *falls over* And is that some similar puff on her head? Ugh…
Also, that cute Sheryl ticket has a weird reference to May’n. May’n loves those… are those biscuits? The goldfish thing? Does Sheryl like those too in the movie?

Thank you! Pink Monsoon reminds me of something inspired by Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814, and that is not a bad thing.

Thanks everyone that helped getting this trailer to us without a Japanese IP XD
@mai
I see that your petition is going well
Just out of curiosity, are you keeping count? I just want to know what number you’re up to.
July 18th, 2009 at 3:57 am
Thanks for the trailer and for the screenshots. Weeee!
July 18th, 2009 at 4:55 am
Thanks for this post about the Macross F movie and for the links to this trailer ^^

Is that sum VF-19 love?
July 18th, 2009 at 8:49 am
Thank you very much for the information.

Deculture!

@Dex - I hope for about 300 for the petition
But what we have is actually good so far
@Akeyn - I think they’re just both the same kind of pop songs (which tend to sound similar because it’s manufactured and generic, which I think is kind of the point), doesn’t Britney have a song that sounds like this too?
@all - and just like everyone, I’m relieved with Brera’s outfit. Or maybe he hid the cat suit underneath that. Hahahahaha
July 18th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Gah! I’m so excited! >.<
July 18th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
@mai
Yes!!! Taiyaki!!! <3
July 18th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
@Germán
That’s totally a luv-luv AltoxRanka scene :3 kawaiii
July 18th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
LOL. May’n is a taiyaki monster (bucyho LOVES her fish-shaped snacks), so if they make Sheryl a taiyaki monster as well that’d be kind of a tribute.
Brera is decently dressed at last.
the trailer’s showing off some very nicely animated shots. can’t wait till this is released.
July 18th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
@German and justavisit: That is Sheryl’s hand, you can see her Star Date sleeve before it completely fades into the Ranka scene. Add to the fact that that scene fits perfectly with the meadow scene.
July 18th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Not to start the shipping wars again or anything but in the middle of the trailer Sheryl says quite clearly: “Alto’s just a bit of fun.” (Alto wa tada no asobi yo) Ooooh drama! I can’t wait *devil ears* I love it!!
July 18th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Oooh, shipping wars, how I missed you.
July 18th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Hi, Mai.
Two friends leave urls for Youtube and Dailymotion in my blog:

Thanks a lot to Lobi and Jenova for the links
July 18th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Thanks for those!
The trailer spread really fast!
July 18th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Sheryl: Alto wa tada no asobi yo (Alto’s just a bit of fun).
Alto (who overhears): *DYRL Minmay-style* Just a bit of fun?!
Sheryl: A-Alto!
Alto: …I can’t take it…I can’t! *flees ala Minmay with tears*
Sheryl: Alto!
X’D
Sorry, I just recently rewatched DYRL.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Thanks for the Youtube link
I wonder if this movie will end this (irritating?) love story…
July 18th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Undercova Priest Cop! >8D
July 19th, 2009 at 1:09 am
hmmm I think maybe one movie will have a Ranka ending and one will have a Sheryl ending? The shipping wars have gotten pretty bad. “The False Diva” is the version that is the alternate story right?
July 19th, 2009 at 1:52 am
I have no idea how different the overall story will be but if it *generally* follows the arc of the series (like Do You Remember Did/Escaflowne movie kind of were the same story but different) then I reckon this film will end with Sheryl’s fall from Grace. If she is the ‘false diva’ then I think it might end with Ranka becoming the new super idol…? Cliff hanger ending FTW
But who knows XD
July 19th, 2009 at 8:06 am
@raile - *wraaaaar!!!*
@Pippa - I was thinking the same thing. Most people are guessing that the first movie summarizes the TV series, then the second movie is completely new, but I think they just split it into two.
July 19th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
@mai, Priest by day, cop by night. >8D
July 19th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
For some reason I really find that idea sexy XD
July 21st, 2009 at 8:52 am
I liked the new Sheryl song… =)
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:27 am
Delusional Ranak fans are delusional.
Stop lying to yourselves. We Sheryl fans will pwn joos! ;p
Sheryl x Alto ~ FTW! <3
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:18 am
I think people are reading too much into the ‘false diva’ translation.
Remember that Sheryl was ‘created’ by Grace. As we saw at the end of the series that Sheryl, by no means, is a false or fake diva. Even Alto, who stated to Sheryl, “I know a professional when I see one” ~ at least that was one of the translations.
I think ‘artificial’ may be more accurate description of Sheryl.
Just my 2cents
August 9th, 2009 at 5:02 am
OMG OMG GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS! Macross Frontier episode 18 14minutes 30 seconds. Sheryl walks back and bangs into someone holding an umbrella. Brown suit, blonde hair. Now look at that screen shot of Brera
any similarities?
Actually, it’s probably not him but man would that be a good way to change the story. BreraxSheryl shipping anyone? Lol, got excited for a minute.
August 9th, 2009 at 8:39 am
@Pippa - that was actually the first scene that came into my mind when I saw the Brera screenshot
October 25th, 2009 at 10:55 am
LOL I wold love for Brera to suddenly get into the love triangle but as a potential love interest for Sheryl =D I for some odd reason actually ship that non-existent couple. Brera looks good in this movie but i bet they are going to bring out his old bodysuit in at least one scene XD There seems to be a lot more of him now. The hand belongs to Sheryl unfortunately (AltoxRanka shipper) I wonder what they mean by lies and truth though?
