First Orchestra Concert Featuring "Macross" Music to be Held on September 17

The official portal site for the Macross franchise announced on May 26 that "Chou Jikuu Kangengaku/Super Dimensional Orchestral Music," the first orchestra concert featuring the music from its first TV series The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982-1983) and its feature film edition Macross: Do You Remember Love? (1984) will be held at Tokyo International Forum Hall A on September 17, 2017.

 

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the long-running sci-fi mecha anime franchise and the 10th anniversary of the death of Kentaro Haneda, the composer of the OP and ED songs of the TV series and the soundtrack music for both TV and film.

 

In addition to the 80-member Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra, 54-year-old Mari Iijima, the voice of one of the two main heroines in the first series, Lynn Minmay, is confirmed to perform in the concert.

She currently lives in Los Angeles, but has agreed to return to Japan for the one day event. The most

recent Macross-related event she joined was the franchise's 30th anniversary concert "Macross Crossover

Live 30" held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture on July 13 in 2013.

 

The DELTAMA fan club members' advance entries for the 9,500 yen tickets will be accepted from June 13,

then the portal site will also start accepting advance entries from non-member customers from July 4.
