Related Matter: The People Who Rendered Distinguished Service In the Implementation Of Song Energy
The Macross 7 Fleet's military surgeon Dr. Chiba is the person who analyzed Song Energy and made it into a theory. Chiba, who knew that Minmei's songs led the way to the conclusion of the First Interstellar War, acquired degrees in astrophysics and particle physics upon graduating from the Galactic Medical University at the age of 12. In addition, he expanded his field of research from parapsychology to Qigong, and he made efforts to analyze the power of song.

Caption: Dr. Chiba supported "Project M" in the technical and theory aspects. The Song Energy measurement unit "Chiba Song" was also something that he named. Also, he was related to the formation of Sound Force, which was led by Ray Lovelock, and the selection of the Jamming Birds.

Extra Report: The Protodevilun And Song Energy
Even though the Protodevilun, who treated Spiritia as "food", ought to have liked Song Energy because the origin of both Song Energy and Spiritia is the Sub-Universe, they suffered damage from the songs of Nekki Basara. This is because the Protodevilun absorbed "negative" spiritia that was amplified by fear, and couldn't receive the "positive" of Basara's songs.
Right: Geperunicchi
The supreme commander of the Protodevilun. Even though he regarded Basara as dangerous, he was awakened to his ability to regenerate spiritia due to Basara's songs.
Caption: The Protodevilun needed Spiritia in order to maintain their bodies in three dimensional space. For that reason, they attacked humans and absorbed their Spiritia.
Caption: Although the Protodevilun were attracted to Basara, who had the powerful ability to bring in Spiritia, there was the problem that their directionality of the energy was different from Basara's.

Extra Report: Lynn Minmei, The Girl Who Showed The World The Power Of Songs
The existence of the idol singer "Lynn Minmei" was the cue that set the sights of Dr. Chiba, who rendered the greatest service in the Song Energy Theory, on the research of songs. In the First Interstellar War, the Zentraadi suffered a shock from such things as Earth's male-female relationships and amusements, and they came to hold an interest in the Earth. The songs of Lynn Minmei were definitely one of their decisive aspirations toward Earth and mankind.
Caption: The "Lynn Minmei Operation", which aimed at decreasing the Zentraadi's will to fight and confusing their chain of command, was an epoch-making strategy that planned to put songs at its core.
Caption: [Ai] With the later released movie "Do You Remember Love?", the great efforts of Minmei were generally more widely recognized.
Right: Lynn Minmei
There were a lot of Earthlings and Zentraadi who heard her songs and became Minmei fans. In addition, from recorded media, not live performances, it's said that Minmei's Song Energy is about 10,000 Chiba Songs.

Extra Report: Equipment Related To "Project M"
In "Project M", not only VF's that supported the project, but related equipment was also newly developed. Even though such things as the Song Energy Conversion Unit, which is a Dr. Chiba Sound Energy System that converted Song Energy into a physical effect, is representative of that equipment, Song Energy that far exceeded that of any ordinary person was needed to operate them.
Right: Sound Energy Conversion System
Equipment for humans that converts Song Energy into such things as light and space-time resonance energy. Due to this development, the cockpits of VFs were also remodelled to types that supported to this equipment.
Down: Launcher Pod
A kind of VF Gun Pod that fires Speaker Pods. Its importance declined due to the implementation of the Sound Boosters.
Caption: Turning songs into weapons, together with progress in Fold research, enabled the implementation of optional VF Fold Speakers at the end of the 2050's.
Right: Gun Pod γ
Songs were transmitted by firing the Speaker Pod γ into enemy aircraft. This γ model was effective against enemies that had been given heavy armour, such as military vessels.
Caption: In addition to the Macross 7 Fleet, a lot of cases were reported where songs affected either the occurrence or resolution of an incident.
