ranka is actually the first loli character that's actually grown on me. Her voice person doing her voice is amazing and not in the league as the girl doing cheryl. I dont know how to put it.....her voice sounds sooo sweet that I actually enjoy listening to her pout and nag.

It's so fresh, its like we are seeing a contest between Macross 7 and Macross Plus singing style. Who will win??! Well, Ranka thinks she knows. Victory! :3 Who knows? It's upon her staaaaaaar!

It all depends on the song they're singing. I admit, I didn't like Sheryl's voice when I first heard it, but after Diamond Crevasse, I appreciated her voice more. It fits her voice. When Sheryl's voice sang "What 'bout my star?", I thought it was a crappy song and didn't even recognize it as the same song Ranka sang at the mall. It's like Ranka gave life to it, and the song was really cute and fluffy lol It's one of those songs that you just can't get enough of.
And about Ranka's phone, she just turned it off, but it looked like it was KO'd. Other people don't like it, but I love that green thing. ^_^ |

Turning that cellphone off was too funny. I bet she wished that she could do that to Ozma. Edit: I wonder if Ranka is not following in Mylene's footsteps. I mean Mylene has a CD coming out again of her singing Minmei tunes and Ranka's singing Minmei tunes and having similar gestures.

Have you ever try holding a note while keeping up a 125bpm tempo? This is why dance music usually isn't about listening to the quality of each note being sung. You have to move as quickly as the melody shifts quickly as the tempo. When Sheryl actually sings a normal tempo song, she is outstanding with Diamond Crevasse. Her vocal range easily surpasses Ranka so far, I doubt Ranka can keep up with Sheryl in Diamond Crevasse. |

Neither "Aimo" nor "My Boyfriend is a Pilot" required a significant vocal range from Ranka nor were either of them complex. Add to that the fact that the supporting music to both songs were "mild" and simplistic to say the least. "What 'bout My Star" is really the first time we've heard Ranka express a dynamic vocal range with a more complex melody. Still, Sheryl's "Don't Be Late" and "Diamond Crevasse" blows Ranka's current performances out of the water. Let's hope that as Ranka matures into a more professional singer her songs will reflect that growth. As for Sheryl's "What 'bout My Star", it's been extremely difficult to make an opinion of it b/c it we haven't had a decent sample of it that hasn't been cut short or covered by chatter/sound effects. |

Ranka probably could give Sheryl a run for her money and probably surpass her in the future. That would be why Sheryl wasn't looking too happy. (Revenge is a dish best served cold.) In that mall where Ranka was singing nobody noticed Sheryl's presence even with her sunglasses off. And the audience was fixated on Ranka's singing and actually was clapping to the song.
Up until now Ranka wasn't going at it in earnest and she was a little on the insecure side which got reflected in her singing. Ep. 5 is finally showing Ranka's true potential. (Michael's scheme backfired for a change.) Ranka is still at the starting gate and needs more performances under her belt to build up that confidence level. "Diamond Crevasse" isn't that complicated either. Ranka prob could do it.

Why would Sheryl be unhappy with Ranka being popular? If anything her and Alto looked like proud parents (and Uncle Michael!) watching their daughter during that scene. Ranka wants to be like her, she went to Miss Macross inspired by her, she got a pep talk from her during Miss Macross and was told to follow in her footsteps. In addition to being the inspiration for it Sheryl's actually been the most supportive of Ranka musical career throughout the series so far.
I really don't know why you would take the following as being unhappy.. Sheryl "She finally came out of her shell. I said it before they come out on their own whim. *face changes* on their own whim..." and than later on "Heheh Ranka's becoming something too. Now I can go back to Galaxy without worrying". Quote:

Well its expected that Ranka's "What 'bout my star" version would be better than Sheryl's upbeat version. Ranaks version fits the mainstream listeners more. You know; the type of music thats very easy and light to hear. Unlike Sheryls' poppish ala Britney Spears version.

Back on topic with Ranka, I'm hoping that we get some original songs out of her soon now that it looks like she's going to be signed up. |

I do stress that if you listen closely to Sheryl and Ranka, Sheryl has several dimensions vocally than Ranka's teenage idol-ish voice. One sounds like a lady and the other sounds like a girl. |

I think Ranka's the second one with Zentradi blood that seems to be prone to dissociative amnesia. I remember Guld in Macross plus having supressed memories as well. What could this imply? Dunno, maybe just that I'm thinking too much

Ranka's dissociative amnesia is really intriguing though. I wonder if her personality will change if her old memories come back to her. I'm pretty interested to see some character development on her part. |
