the part where megumi sings in the first sample sounds dark and angsty sif she’s singing God Knows or something.

gah! Megumi’s voice startled me!
it IS low.

(i imagine an 18/19 year old Megu can have a bit of strain playing a 16/17 year old Ranka all the time)

i have to play catch up and listen to one of the macross radio shows,
if anyone was able to record them though.

@ Mai aaaaaaaah I see. Whatever, they all sound wonderful! Then yeah she was probably just tired. In the OP for the show it just says “May’n/Nakajima Megumi”.

@ Naru – actually, the promotional materials for the concert say “Ranka Lee with Sheryl Nome”

Here is the full name of the concert in Japanese text: 超時空スーパーライブ　デビュー！ランカ・リー with シェリル・ノーム

Nakajima’s singing in the new Macross F opening is very Ranka-ish though…

After being blown away by “Northern Cross”, “Lion” didn’t do that much for me; I found it too anime-song standard, my guess is that YK couldn’t do much with it since she’d had to balance both Nakajima’s and May’n's singing.

BUT… after watching the latest Macross three times it does get kind of catchy, and the lyrics are somewhat conforting with all that’s been happening in the series (Sheryl T_T).
