Super Dimensional Fortress Macross - Flash Back 2012
Story
The First Interstellar War was concluded in 2012, when the Mankind Sowing Project commenced, with its goal of continuing the human species and its culture. Macross City, which is in preparation for the imminent launch of the First Super Long Range Emigrant Fleet that made the Megaroad 01 its flagship, holds a "Goodbye Concert" by Lynn Minmei. The past, present and future... at the intersection of the various feelings that are held by the Minmei of the differing eras, the Megaroad 01 takes on Minmei's singing voice and flies away from the Earth. There are Hayase Misa on the ship's bridge, Ichijo Hikaru in a VF-4 of the escort unit, and the forms of the people with deep connections to Minmei on it.*

* Translator's note: originally was: "Lynn Minmei held a Good-bye Concert in Macross City, which is in preparation for the imminent launch of the Megaroad 01 in 2012, when the Mankind Sowing Project was developed. Various past and present hopes are placed on the Megaroad 01, and it flies away together with Minmei's singing voice."

[o] Caption: Together with Minmei's songs, various past memories flash back. And then mankind begins a trip to the future led by Hayase Misa and Ichijo Hikaru.

Mechanic
Earth Unified Forces: VF-4 Lightning III
Space combat is treated as the main point of the aircraft that was developed as the VF-1's successor. It was deployed to Skull Squadron, which escorts the Megaroad 01. The illustration on the left is the aircraft that squadron commander Ichijo Hikaru boards.*

* Translator's note: originally was: "The Variable Fighter that was developed as the VF-1's successor."

Earth Unified Forces: Megaroad 01
Coming after the SDF-1, the spaceship that was developed as the newly produced SDF-2 battleship. After the conclusion of the First Interstellar War, it was redesigned and became the flagship of the First Super Long Range Emigrant Fleet. The captain is Hayase Misa.*

* Translator's note: originally was: "The Emigrant Ship that left the Earth as the first formation of the Mankind Sowing Project."

[o] Related Matter: The Phantom Movie Ending
The original idea for the 1984 released theatrical movie "Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Do You Remember Love?" was planned to have a scene where the heroine Lynn Minmei sings "Angel's Paints" in a concert venue flowing during the ending film credits. Although it caused a countless number of setting images and the key frames were partially drawn, the production of this scene was suspended for several reasons. Several years after the release, the original video animation (OVA) that was planned to reproduce this phantom ending was this "Flash Back 2012".

Caption: The setting picture of the concert venue that was drawn for the ending of the movie version. It was appropriated roughly as is for this OVA.

Left: Minmei's costume for the movie version's concert scene. It has a simpler atmosphere than the "Flash Back" version.

Earth Unified Forces: Hayase Misa
She agreed to participate in the Super Long Range Emigrant Fleet, and was promoted to Colonel. She was assigned as the captain of the Megaroad 01.*

People who rendered distinguished service in the First Interstellar War started on a journey to space in the Megaroad 01."

Civilian: Lynn Minmei
The songstress whose existence, along with the departure of the Megaroad 01, became a legend. The picture is Minmei's appearance when she sang "Angel's Paints" in the 2012 "Goodbye Concert".*

* Translator's note: originally was: "The songstress whose existence, along with the departure of the Megaroad 01, is treated as a legend."

[o] Various Minmei
During "Flash Back 2012", various outfits of Minmei appear, from the past, future and present points of time.

[o] Left: The Minmei that remained on the Earth and saw off the departure of the Megaroad 01. She wore a black double-breasted coat.

[o] Right: During the drama, what Minmei wore in the scene where she reflects on when she confronted her parents and ran away from home, had a warm colour scheme.

[o] Left: The mature Minmei, who is seen in her mid-thirties. She wears clothes based on black, which give the impression of a mourning dress.

[o] Right: The Minmei who looked down to Macross City from the Megaroad 01's observation room. The colour of the jacket is white, in contrast to the Minmei who sees the Megaroad 01 off.
