7/7 concert VS Recorded version
http://www.box.net/shared/qzr2smxicx Give it a listen, especially the refrain, and notice how flat the recorded version is. Quite frankly, I think people's hate of Megumi is just because her current image "projects" Ranka. I don't think there is a need to bash her personally for it, she sounds like a sweet girl who's just agreeing to wear those ridiculous outfits and dances because she's in that phase where she wants to please the fans. ...but of course if she delivers a song badly, don't expect me to say anything good :P EDIT: Just listen to "zutto soba ni ita" part, the recorded version is... eeeew... *cringe*

I never went as far as to bash her voice. She's generic, I liked May'N's feat more, but I've never said that she was bad. I even had major freak outs about Dokkun-ings but that's more of a lyric fear not singing. I didn't even dislike her until her post-frontier videos came out on YT >___> |

^- well ippus, there's always her youtube link to send your complaints about her Ranka-fying.
@forgottendiary: sure, but is that an fair comparison? I know I know, *BB's mind inserted with the usual argument about this and that blah blah.* It's uh overboard lol. Madness! And that's my job. lol |

Or would you rather I go for a less eloquent version and say it's as hard as literally separating liquid mercury from a carpet...with your fingers?

^ - forgottendiary: Sure sure. And no I don't think you'll agree with what I'd have to say, if I'd concede to what you think about mercury and fingers.
Hehehe. If Mamegu weren't cast as Ranka can anybody name any seiyuu or singer to replace her as singing voice? I don't think it'll pull off well. |

Megumi is still a fairly new songstress...
she looks pretty, I think she sings quite well...as for the dance...I would assume that the company thinks Megumi still needs Ranka's popularity so maybe that's why she would perform a Ranka dance once in a while And since the movie date is approaching, I think Megumi's performance in the next couple of months will be related with Ranka anyway, and depends on how well Ranka will do in the movie...Megumi will be tied with Ranka for the near future I think Megumi has potential to have a good singing career...only time will tell of course, but so far, I think she starts her career well

^ - I reckon Shoji Kawamori would have the final word about the singer cast as well. I believe every piece of directing the music wouldn't mean it'll fall on Kanno's.
But if it so, and if Ranka were to have a singing voice from the seiyuu industry, no one can do it better than Megumi. Having to hire someone from elsewhere in Japan's music industry, I doubt it would be quality and it would sound exactly as "Ranka", associations and all. |

You're only saying that because you can't picture anyone else as Ranka, Megumi's range is limited to pretty much just placid jpop songs and ballads. That's why you see May'n cover stuff like Aquarion's OP and provide the real power in the Lion duet since Megumi doesn't have the vocal power to do stuff like that. I really don't see anything Megumi does that is special, same with May'n.. but May'n definately has more range than Megumi. What can Megumi do as Ranka that Akino (Aquarion) couldn't do?

wait, I thought Megumi won the role to voice Ranka Lee?? They wanted to save that seiyu position for the young ppl to compete and Megumi won it...That's one of the selling points for the macross frontier and Megumi is the best from that competition
Edit: Of course, if they want to use an experienced seiyu, that seiyu may voice Ranka better, who knows XD...but they wanted to set a competition, Megumi won and I think she did the job quite well

So many people here have excoriated Ranka. Then they excoriated the Ranka fans for liking Ranka. Then they excoriated Kawamori for liking Ranka. Now they're excoriating Megumi for voicing her. What's next? Risa Ebata, for designing her? Hiroyuki Yoshino, for writing her dialogue?
I know everyone has their likes and dislikes, but it can only go so far before it seems...unbalanced. |
