Lion

A duet sung by two women, released as the opening theme for Macross Frontier.

The song centers on a love triangle that grows more serious as the story progresses, and it’s one of the most popular tracks in the series.

It was a standout masterpiece when it came out in 2008 and remains beloved by anisong fans to this day.

The performance and chorus are top-notch, and it gives me chills every time I listen.

It’s a quintessential anisong, so I’d love for people beyond anime fans to give it a listen.

May’n – Northern Cross (english subtitles)

A female singer who began taking full-fledged auditions in elementary school and made her major debut in high school under her real name, Mei Nakabayashi.

Aiming since childhood to be an artist who can both sing and dance, she rose to wide recognition as a new-generation female anime song singer after the success of tracks such as “Diamond Crevasse,” released under the name Sheryl Nome starring May’n for the TV anime Macross Frontier.

Her high expressive ability and vocal power evoke the world of each song and draw listeners in.

Since 2018, she has also been active as a stage actress, showcasing her multifaceted artistic sensibilities.

Diamond Crevasse / Sheryl Nome starring May’n [Anime Macross F ED]

“Diamond Crevasse,” the first ending theme of Macross Frontier and a song also used within the series.

Among the songs sung by Sheryl, it’s especially popular, so many anime fans likely remember it.

It’s a very beautiful ballad that conjures up Sheryl’s dignified figure.

Since it also played during the scene where Michael was killed in action, it may remind many people of his final moments.

It’s a highly recommended number that I’d love people unfamiliar with Macross Frontier to hear as well.

Macross Frontier is a popular anime themed around songs and robots, love and war.

One of its main characters, Sheryl Nome, performs the track Sagittarius☆9PM Don’t be late.
