* Translator's notes: the last line originally was "The boy Ichijo Hikaru, who was swallowed up into that mayhem, rescued the Macrosss, and threw himself into the interstellar war as a Valkyrie pilot." Also, the following was removed in the revised edition: "In the middle of that wartime destruciton, Hikaru harbours special thoughts for the young girl Lynn Minmei, who wishes to be a singer, and Hayase Misa, the Macross's senior operator, and his feelings oscillates between the two...".
Caption: The rescued civilians built a town within the Macross, and boldly lived during the war with the Zentraadi. From there, the idol singer Lynn Minmei was born, and through song, the culture of Earth realized coexistence with the Zentraadi.

Translator's note: the original also had the following:
Earth Unified Forces - Bruno J. Global
The captain of the Macross. As a calm, cool, and collected person, he touches things with a flexible posture. He is one of the actors that led to the establishment of coexistence with the Zentraadi, by making the decisive judgement to accept the defecting Zentraadi.
Earth Unified Forces - Roy Fokker
As the ace pilot of the Unified Forces, he is a nice, broadminded fellow, who loves alcohol and women. Previously, he belonged to Hikaru's father's acrobatic team, and he has an existence like Hikaru's older brother.
Zentraadi - Buritai Kuridaniku
Commander of a Zentraadi branch fleet. Despite being a veteran who can deal with a Valkyrie in the living flesh, he's a rare Zentraadi who has both a view of the big picture, and judgement.
Zentraadi - Ekisedoru Forumo
The Recording Staff Officer attached to Commander Buritai. He is good at the planning and analysis of tactics that apply to the situation, based on past operations that he's memorized. He was part of the active faction, and personally headed to the Macross as the envoy for the armistice negotiations.
Zentraadi - Kamujin Kuravushera
The Space Armour Division commander who is particularly violent even in the Zentraadi Forces, he has the alias "ally killer". To the last, he doesn't get used to Earth's culture, and he consolidates the malcontent Zentraadi, and causes a revolt.
Zentraadi - Rapu Ramizu
The commander of the vanguard fleet directly controlled by the Bodoru Main Fleet. As a decisive female commander, she controlled the women only units. Her subordinate was the Zentraadi ace, Miria Fariina.
Earth Unified Forces - MBR-04-MkIV Tomahawk
One kind of humanoid weapon Destroid that uses Over Technology. It has firepower and armour that surpasses that of the Variable Fighter, and both arms are charged particle beam guns.
Zentraadi - Quadoran-Roh
A Battle Suit adopted by the Zentraadi woman forces. Miria and others boarded it and brought up a lot of military gains, as it a highly manoeuvrable model that has thrusters with a great deal of propulsion and inertia control abilities.

SD Edition Opening Clip
The newly produced opening for the rebroadcast in around 1990. As Bandai had developed an "SD Macross" version comical head and body plastic model at the time, the clip had parody contents that reproduced the original opening clip. The tune was edited to be a little shorter.
"Macross"
Song: Fujiwara Makoto
Song Lyrics: Asa Akane / Composition: Haneda Kentarou
Macross Special Edition
The clip used at the time of the first broadcast when the first and second episodes were broadcast together in a one-hour time slot. The opening had different content in several places, such as inserting the operator camp instead of the scene in the middle where the VF-1J descends into the urban area; Hikaru, who does the cut-in before the rusting, wearing his civilian pilot suit; and clips of the Macross and VF-1D flying in space instead of the last VF-1J action sequence. Also, the ending was a simple clip where the Fan Racer continued to fly in a sky with an evening glow.
