35 years have passed since Lynn Minmay had brought peace between the Zentradi and the humans in the events of Macross. Nekki Basara is a guitarist and a singer of the band Fire Bomber. Living in a less-developed part of the flying colony City 7 which is looking for a habitable planet, he composes and sings songs in the belief that music holds a greater power.
During its flight, an unknown alien race appeared and started laying siege upon City 7. However, its attacks are not conventional -- instead of trying to destroy them, they steal what is known as "spiritia", rendering victims unresponsive and zombie-like. During these battles, Basara always goes out into the middle of the warzone, singing his songs and expecting friend and foe to listen and be moved by his music.

Where it came from
Macross 7 was produced by Ashi Productions and aired on Mainichi Broadcasting System starting in 1994 as the direct television sequel to the original 1982 Super Dimension Fortress Macross series. It emerged during a period when the franchise sought to explore the relationship between music and conflict through a more rock-and-roll lens, positioning the protagonist, Nekki Basara, as a pilot who refuses to use weapons in battle, choosing instead to project his songs toward enemies via his custom variable fighter.
The character designs were handled by Haruhiko Mikimoto, who returned to the franchise to maintain visual continuity with his iconic original work, while the series leaned heavily into the musical identity of the Fire Bomber band. Upon its release, the series received a divided reception; while some viewers appreciated its unconventional pacifist themes and energetic soundtrack, others struggled with its departure from the more traditional militaristic drama established in the earlier installments of the saga.
