This is a collection of the songs and performances for Sheryl Nome, a.k.a. the Galactic Fairy, on [https://srtmoo.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page Super Robot Taisen MOO]! Because this is for a crossover game rather than ''Macross Frontier'' canon, it may not line up 100% with canon/may make some things up to fill in the gaps. It'll also eventually include non-''Frontier'' May'n songs as Sheryl's career expands beyond the scope of canon plot. ''Frontier'' on SRT MOO follows the TV version for the most part, but some parts of the movies and manga are adapted, and that includes the songs.

==Debut Single: Diamond Crevasse / Sagittarius☆9PM Don't Be Late==
  
Sheryl's first songs, released when she was 16 in early December 0094. ''Diamond Crevasse'' is the debut of her debut songs, and was a song she'd been working on for years before it was professionally produced. As such, she wrote the lyrics and music herself, though someone else did the arrangement. It's meant to express her wretchedness when she was living on Galaxy without any family or friends. ''Sagittarius☆9PM Don't Be Late'' was the C/W ("coupled with"); she didn't write either the lyrics or the music. It's just supposed to be fun and flirty, as that was the image Sheryl Nome was going to lean into.

Sheryl's second single, released so soon after the first that sometimes fan confuse which came first, in late December 0095. ''Pink Monsoon'' was mostly not written by Sheryl, but she included a few lines to make it more her own as it leans hard into "horny" and she was a minor at the time. She did write ''I Became an Angel'', which is about her life on Galaxy after her manager, Grace O'Connor, scouted her up off the streets and took her in.

The final part of the initial blitz of singles to bring Sheryl Nome into prominence among, released early February 0095. Sheryl wrote neither of these songs; they're meant to project more of that fun and flirty public image, and to encourage the fanbase to get more and more into her performances. Despite this, the popularity of ''Diamond Crevasse'' made sure that fans still understood Sheryl had a deeper side.

==5th Single: Universal Bunny / Izolado==
  
Released shortly before SRT MOO game open in January 0096. Leaning further into the themes of time and longevity that she worked with in her previous single, Sheryl designed the live performance of ''Universal Bunny'' to have a strong clock theme, though the song itself is more about the dichotomy of woman. ''Izolado'' (Esperanto for "isolation") returns to the themes of living in Galaxy, but this time presumes a fantasy of someone having been there with her when she was on the streets. Sheryl hasn't commented on who that someone might be, if it's anyone at all.

==6th Single: Lion / Northern Cross (/ Sheryl's Sister Spaceship)==
  
===Lion===
+
''Lion'' was a new song that Sheryl first performed on March 25, 0096, at a special pre-Earth Sphere Global Tour mini-concert on a Nergal space liner. The ship was attacked by Zentraedi separatists, sending it down into the Earth's atmosphere. Sheryl performed the song live during the fall. It came out on a single with a new song Sheryl performed for the first time at the last stop of her Earth Sphere Global Tour, called ''Northern Cross''. Two versions of this single released at that time, on '''June 17, 0096'''. The first is the regular version which remains on sale, which includes just ''Lion'' and ''Northern Cross''; the second was a special edition version that was sold only at that concert, and includes Sheryl's cover of famous Macross enka star Kiichiro Tokugawa's ''Sister Spaceship'' with lyrics adjusted to suit Sheryl's circumstances, specifically the loss of her hometown colony, Macross Galaxy, to the ravages of the Vajra. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW7lvC7xeRQ song]|[https://www.animelyrics.com/jpop/mayn/lionmayn.htm lyrics]] / [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4DIBf1jJ2Y song]|[https://www.animelyrics.com/anime/macrossf/northerncross.htm lyrics]] / [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUW5g4b1BwE partial song]|[https://www.animelyrics.com/anime/macrossf/kyoudaibune.htm lyrics]])

The ship was attacked by Zentraedi separatists, sending it down into the Earth's atmosphere. Sheryl performed the song live during the fall. It hasn't yet been officially released on a single, but she's continued to perform it during her Earth Sphere Global Tour concerts, and has been receiving rave reviews.

===Sheryl's Sister Spaceship===
+
A Blu-Ray released on '''February 24, UC 0097''' of the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVuho32VSQo music video] for ''Diamond Crevasse''. Includes a recording of the [https://srtmoo.net/mediawiki/index.php/2022-11-23:_Happy_Birthday,_Sheryl! live performance based on the same], which Sheryl performed when pre-orders for the Blu-Ray opened to promote it. In addition, there are interviews with Sheryl and the girl who plays the little girl in the video, and making-of videos that among other things go in detail on the setting of the music video, Neo Venezia, which is a recreation of the sunken city of Venice.
  
Performed at the first stop in Sheryl's Earth Sphere Global Tour, Macross City. It's a cover of famous Macross enka star Kiichiro Tokugawa's ''Sister Spaceship'' with lyrics adjusted to suit Sheryl's circumstances, specifically the loss of her hometown colony, Macross Galaxy, to the ravages of the Vajra. Due to her leaning hard into the Japanese aesthetic, some have speculated that it might also be about Britannia's occupation of southwestern Japan. It's available for download but has not yet appeared on any singles or albums.

SRT MOO players are free to say their character attended/will attend any of the off-screen concerts on the list as long as it makes sense for said character. The image to the lower right is the official promotional art for the Earth Sphere Global Tour. If your character has bought any posters or T-shirts or mugs or other merch (aside from physical CDs, which have their own art) for this specific tour, that picture of Sheryl is most likely emblazoned on it.

The opening event of the Gathering to Unite Transnational Schools's first official Deculture Festival, which took place on '''August 27, 0096'''.

After working over the winter with the ''Bird Human'' production for its main theme, ''Liebe ~ Illusory Light'', Sheryl put on a spring concert at her school, Mihoshi Academy, on '''April 4, 0097'''. On top of being a promotional concert for ''Bird Human'', which would be released to theatres later that month, and a sort of welcome-back performance for the next year of school, it also marked the start of Sheryl's hiatus so she could focus on her studies. The concert itself was nothing but new songs, and when it ended, Sheryl's third EP album, [https://srtmoo.net/mediawiki/index.php/Sheryl_Nome%27s_(Fictional)_Discography#3rd_EP:_Liebestr.C3.A4ume_.28Dreams_of_Love.29 Liebesträume], went on sale.

During Sheryl's hiatus, she joined the expedition to Gallia IV. There, she and the rest of the fleet encountered the Zuvorg Empire and their allies, which had a military school on the other side of the planet from where the expedition set up camp.

A pair of 15-second commercials that were released July 2, 0096, for a new sunscreen made and sponsored by Sheryl Nome('s production team): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yb0TeDPOhc Nome Pure Shield]. Both commercials play a sample of the at-the-time brand-new Sheryl Nome song, [https://srtmoo.net/mediawiki/index.php/Sheryl_Nome%27s_(Fictional)_Discography#Glittering_Summer ''Glittering Summer'']. For the product, there's two versions, both in crystalline-looking bottles that bear the PURE SHIELD logo under the mark of the Galactic Fairy: a golden heart with a fairy wing on the right. The first is an SPF 500+ sunscreen in a blue bottle, and an SPF 10,000+ sunscreen in a pink bottle. They're made for those living on colonies with no ozone layer, but it's plenty good enough for Earthnoids too.
 +
 
 +
'''THE FIRST COMMERCIAL''' shows the product logo over a triple sun system in a brilliant blue sky. Sheryl runs past in a white sun hat and a pink swimsuit. Tossing off her hat, she runs through water, splashing it in her wake. Text across the screen reads, 'Perfect domination over the galaxy's suns.'                                                               
 +
 
 +
"No matter how many suns there are," she says, snapping her fingers, "they won't extinguish my beauty." A wave crashes behind her, filled with colorful sea creatures, floating symbols including her trademark fairy-winged heart, and even a dude on a surfboard. She flips her hair, which shimmers from blonde to blue, as the camera lovingly lingers on her skin as her drop crystal earring sways.
 +
 
 +
"Make sure to protect my skin!" she declares as the shot expands outward to show her standing on an expansive tropical beach. The shot changes to a close-up of her face as she presses a finger to her lips as the camera works up the silhouette of a full-size version of her posing next to a blue Pure Shield bottle. "The sparkle is out of this universe: Pure Shield!"
 +
 
 +
'''THE SECOND COMMERCIAL''' starts much the same way, but Sheryl instead says, "Beauty is a triangle." As she runs through the water, screen text reads, 'This porcelain skin is deculture.' In the shot after she snaps her fingers, instead of the crashing wave, two colorful fish smooch overhead and explode into hearts as she continues, "The morning sparkles like a jewel."
 +
 
 +
The beach shot comes again as Sheryl declares, "Make sure to protect my skin!" A close-up of her face shows her giving the camera a sulty glance. Then we see her running along the beach in the background, while the foreground presents the blue bottle, from which the pink bottle emerges. "Nome: Pure Shield!"
 +
 
 +
There's also '''a poster and billboard version of this ad''', which can be seen to the upper right. The central text reads, 'Perfect domination over the galaxy's suns.'

A limited edition line of jewelry released on Sheryl's birthday, November 23, 0096, as a collaboration between her and international jeweler THE KISS. It included a bracelet, a necklace, and a ring, and came in variations of gold, silver, and rose gold. It was available from then until New Year's Eve until supplies last, but those supplies didn't last that long. Two commercials aired at the time that ran as follows. (Thanks to Grace O'Conner's player for writing these for me!)
 +
 
 +
'''THE FIRST COMMERCIAL''' opens with a faintly playing, slightly distorted, yet perhaps familiar, piano melody in the background.  A young woman's hand - pale and slender - appears in frame backed by darkness. Upon her finger rests a ring composed of two gold bands hooked around one another, connected by a delicately fashioned rose and a small, pale amethyst. As that hand is held up as if its wearer is admiring her ring, it holds pride of place at the center of the camera's field of vision.
 +
 
 +
The image of the girl's hand fades from view as the warbling melody grows louder and clearer. The words "THE KISS" briefly flash on screen before another vision, this time of the girl's wrist, washes into view.  Upon the dainty appendage is an intricately wrought rose gold chain bracelet with a rose emblem linking the two ends of the chain. Flanking the rose emblem, approximately a fourth of the length of the chain away, are a pair of round white crystals dangling freely.  From behind the wrist, one can see more of the young woman's frame, clad as it is in a loose and flowing yellow sundress with a pink ribbon cinching it at the waist.
 +
 
 +
Once again, the image fades as the music swells and grows clearer. At this point the melody is recognizable as a certain song for the fans. "x" appears on screen briefly before the image fades back in to show a white gold chain necklace worn around the slender neck of the young woman.  The chain is joined in the middle by a rose charm; a third chain dangling about an inch from it with a delicately cut rose quartz clutched at the end.  As the camera rises further, pink-painted lips come into view, which smile and murmur: "Can you hear my voice?"
 +
 
 +
The image fades again to this time show the name "Sheryl Nome" on screen. The music now raises again in volume, and its distortion fading fully away as the screen comes back to an image of Sheryl Nome.  Her left hand is raised to clasp her right shoulder, while her left hand is raised to run several locks of her golden hair through their grasp while wearing the ring and bracelet shown earlier. She looks at the camera with her passionate blue eyes while the chorus of her song "Welcome to My Fan Club's Night!" thrums vibrantly on the piano. An announcer states:
 +
 
 +
"In honor of her eighteenth birthday, Galactic Fairy Sheryl Nome and renowned jewelry brand THE KISS come together to produce a limited edition line of accessories worthy of their names. Their specially designed ring, necklace, and bracelet, available in 14-karat gold, rose gold, and white gold, are the perfect gifts this Christmas season for the fairy of ''your'' galaxy. On sale now until New Year's Eve while supplies last, so order now."
 +
 
 +
The advertisement resolves to an image of Sheryl still holding a lock of her hair while having the jewelry on display. A sparkling purple and pink background resolves behind her with 'Sheryl Nome x THE KISS' being shown alongside larger, more textured images of the jewelry appearing beside her own, one set per variation for three sets total, and contact information on where and how to order. The ad completes with Sheryl speaking once more:
 +
 
 +
"Be good boys and girls."
 +
 
 +
'''THE SECOND COMMERCIAL''' is a 10-second variation on the above. Beginning with a dark screen, Sheryl's voice can be heard: "Can you hear my voice?"
 +
 
 +
The song "Welcome to My Fan Club's Night!" can be heard played on the piano as an image of Sheryl standing before a sparkling purple and pink background fades in, in a pose to show off the jewelry she wears as well as larger images of the ring, bracelet, and necklace sets appearing beside her. Once again 'Sheryl Nome x THE KISS' appears on top of the screen, but also the following words:
 +
 
 +
"Sheryl Nome x THE KISS collaborate to bring you a limited edition line of jewelry. A perfect gift for the fairy of your galaxy this Christmas season. Available until New Year's Eve while supplies last." The contact info for how and where to order follows in smaller text below.
 +
 
 +
Once again, the ad ends with Sheryl purring, "Be good boys and girls."

The Galactic Fairy
Sheryl on stage.png

This is a collection of the songs and performances for Sheryl Nome, a.k.a. the Galactic Fairy, on Super Robot Taisen MOO! Because this is for a crossover game rather than Macross Frontier canon, it may not line up 100% with canon/may make some things up to fill in the gaps. It also includes non-Frontier May'n songs as Sheryl's career has expanded beyond the scope of canon plot; in those cases, the songs are duly notated. Frontier on SRT MOO follows the TV version for the most part, but some parts of the movies and manga are adapted, and that includes the songs.

Since the Frontier plot, and Sheryl's career, are ongoing on this game, this discography page will get updated over time as well. If your character is a fan, keep an eye out!

Song Releases

Debut Single: Diamond Crevasse / Sagittarius☆9PM Don't Be Late

Sheryl's first songs, released when she was 16 in early December 0094. Diamond Crevasse is the debut of her debut songs, and was a song she'd been working on for years before it was professionally produced. As such, she wrote the lyrics and music herself, though someone else did the arrangement. It's meant to express her wretchedness when she was living on Galaxy without any family or friends. Sagittarius☆9PM Don't Be Late was the C/W ("coupled with"); she didn't write either the lyrics or the music. It's just supposed to be fun and flirty, as that was the image Sheryl Nome was going to lean into. As a Sagittarius herself, though, she's got a lot of fondness for it. (Diamond Crevasse | lyrics / Sagittarius☆9PM Don't Be Late (Japanese title: Iteza☆Gogo Kuji Don't be late) | lyrics)

2nd Single: pink monsoon / I Became An Angel

Sheryl's second single, released so soon after the first that sometimes fans confuse which came first, in late December 0094. pink monsoon was mostly not written by Sheryl, but she included a few lines to make it more her own as it leans hard into "horny" and she was a minor at the time. She did write I Became an Angel, which is about her life on Galaxy after her manager, Grace O'Connor, scouted her up off the streets and took her in. (pink monsoon | lyrics / I Became an Angel (Japanese title: Tenshi ni Nacchatta) | lyrics)

3rd Single: What 'Bout My Star? / Welcome to My Fan Club's Night!

The final part of the initial blitz of singles to bring Sheryl Nome into prominence, released early February 0095. Sheryl wrote neither of these songs; they're meant to project more of that fun and flirty public image, and to encourage the fanbase to get more and more into her performances. Despite this, the popularity of Diamond Crevasse made sure that fans still understood Sheryl had a deeper side. ( What 'Bout My Star? | lyrics / Welcome to My Fan Club's Night! | lyrics)

4th Single: Eternity / Infinity

Released about half a year into her career in August 0095, Sheryl finally fully took the reins of songwriting to release a themed single and use it to tell a sort of short story. Eternity is about falling into despair over losing a loved one, and Infinity is about the hope of one day seeing them again. The single uses a black/white dichotomy that would be repeated later for the song Universal Bunny.

1st EP: Sagittarius☆9PM

5th Single: Universal Bunny / Izolado

Released shortly before SRT MOO game open in January 0096. Leaning further into the themes of time and longevity that she worked with in her previous single, Sheryl designed the live performance of Universal Bunny to have a strong clock theme, though the song itself is more about the dichotomy of woman. Izolado (Esperanto for "isolation") returns to the themes of living in Galaxy, but this time presumes a fantasy of having been old enough to take care of herself when she was on the streets and someone having been there with her. Sheryl hasn't commented on who that someone might be, if it's anyone at all.

2nd EP: Universal Bunny

Universal Bunny

Track 2: Pink Monsoon (lyrics)

Track 3: Izolado (lyrics)

Track 4: Eternity (Japanese title: Eien) (lyrics)

6th Single: Lion / Northern Cross (/ Sheryl's Sister Spaceship)

Lion was a new song that Sheryl first performed on March 25, 0096, at a special pre-Earth Sphere Global Tour mini-concert on a Nergal space liner. The ship was attacked by Zentraedi separatists, sending it down into the Earth's atmosphere. Sheryl performed the song live during the fall. It came out on a single with a new song Sheryl performed for the first time at the last stop of her Earth Sphere Global Tour, called Northern Cross. Two versions of this single released at that time, on June 17, 0096. The first is the regular version which remains on sale, which includes just Lion and Northern Cross; the second was a special edition version that was sold only at that concert, and includes Sheryl's cover of famous Macross enka star Kiichiro Tokugawa's Sister Spaceship with lyrics adjusted to suit Sheryl's circumstances, specifically the loss of her hometown colony, Macross Galaxy, to the ravages of the Vajra. ([song|lyrics] / [song|lyrics] / [partial song|lyrics])

In addition, there are interviews with Sheryl and the girl who plays the little girl in the video, and making-of videos that among other things go in detail on the setting of the music video, Neo Venezia, which is a recreation of the sunken city of Venice.

Live Performances and Promotions

This only includes the Frontier stop of her canonical Galaxy Crossing Tour and live shows that Sheryl's performed on SRT MOO. It doesn't include any lives or tours she performed pre-game.

Galaxy Crossing Tour (Last Stop)

The Galaxy Crossing Tour
Sheryl galaxytour.jpeg

Sheryl Nome's tour of the Macross colony fleets. The final stop was the Frontier colony fleet, but that performance was interrupted by an attack by the insect-like aliens known as the Vajra. Once the Vajra were driven back, the performance was rescheduled and completed later. After this, she was supposed to return home to the Galaxy colony fleet, but during the rescheduled concert, Galaxy were also attacked by the Vajra and lost, stranding Sheryl at the Frontier. Outwardly, Sheryl insists that Galaxy has survived and she'll go back home eventually, but in her heart of hearts, she suspects she's never going home again. This has borne a grudge against the Vajra, and she's transferred into the pilot program at Mihoshi Academy to learn how to fly and fight.

Nergal Industries Mini-Live

A mini-live Sheryl performed on a space liner owned by Nergal Heavy Industries. Took place on March 25, 0096. Though ostensibly to celebrate her new contract with Nergal after the Macross Frontier fleet returned to Earth, the concert was open to anyone who could buy tickets and make it to the venue. It also served as a sort of sneak peek to her upcoming Earth Sphere Global Tour (see below).

Songs Performed: Diamond Crevasse, Lion (debut, Sheryl only version)

Earth Sphere Global Tour

The Earth Sphere Global Tour
Sheryl earth tour.png

An Earth-wide tour to celebrate the Galactic Fairy's arrival at the home world. Not every stop on the tour has had a scene assigned; those that do will be italicized and linked. Songs in parentheses were performed only in passing/as a mention. SRT MOO players are free to say their character attended/will attend any of the off-screen concerts on the list as long as it makes sense for said character. The image to the lower right is the official promotional art for the Earth Sphere Global Tour. If your character has bought any posters or T-shirts or mugs or other merch (aside from physical CDs, which have their own art) for this specific tour, that picture of Sheryl is most likely emblazoned on it. One such merch is featured below.

Macross City

The first stop on the tour. Took place on April 8, 0096. A ticket raffle was held, and winning ticket-holders were allowed into a post-concert backstage meet-and-greet autograph session with Sheryl.

Tsutsujidai, Alternate (?) Japan

A special tour stop, not originally planned. This took place on May 10, 0096. It was included on the itinirary by Grace O'Connor after meeting with Alexis Kerib to further her own goals. Sheryl agreed to it out of excitement over the prospect of performing inter-dimensionally. As the tour was just leaving Europe and heading into Africa at the time, they used the La Tour Ladder in Central Africa to head over to the Tenchu Ladder in East Asia and move to Tsutsujidai from there. The concert ended early when it was attacked by multiple kaiju, though Sheryl refused to stop singing. Her fan Ranka Lee sang along with her, albeit from a distance.

The Starlight Show Live

A popular talk show that Sheryl featured on, dated August 11, 0096. She debuted her at-the-time newest song, Glittering Summer, and used it as a promotion for a contest to join her at the recording for the music video for Diamond Crevasse.

Songs Performed: Glittering Summer

Deculture Festival Beach Party

The opening event of the Gathering to Unite Transnational Schools's first official Deculture Festival, which took place on August 27, 0096. This was Sheryl's first concert not as an intragalactic superstar but as a student, so it was low-key compared to her usual performances. Of course, Sheryl still took it very seriously as a performer.

Songs Performed: Glittering Summer, (Sunset Beach), (Remember 16), (Idol Talk)

The GUTS Crossdressing and Cosplay Pageant

Another part of the GUTS Deculture Festival, which took place on September 10, 0096, Sheryl performed the introductory song to the Crossdressing and Cosplay Pageant while in cosplay herself. While she never outright said who she was dressed as, she stayed in character almost the whole time. All in all, it was a heart-pounding performance that just might leave you high on despair. Puhuhu...

Songs Performed: Universal Bunny

Happy Birthday, Sheryl!

It was Sheryl Nome's 18th birthday on November 23, 0096, and she celebrated with her fans! A poll went up on her website for them to vote on their favorite songs, and she performed the winners at a special venue on the Macross Frontier. This concert also debuted a limited edition line of jewelry, a collaboration between Sheryl Nome and international jeweler THE KISS, featuring a set of a ring, a bracelet, and a necklace. People were also able to pre-order the upcoming DVD/Blu-Ray release of Sheryl's upcoming music video for Diamond Crevasse, and indeed she included a live variation of this AMV as part of her performance.

Be grateful; Sheryl hardly ever does this kind of service! ♥

Songs Performed: Pink Monsoon, Universal Bunny, Diamond Crevasse

Yumi Foundation Benefit Concert

Sheryl Nome collaborated with the Yumi Foundation and put on a benefit concert on February 23, 0097 for those orphaned by the ongoing war between ZAFT and the Federation. It took place at a venue in Von Braun City on the Moon. Her music video for Diamond Crevasse went on sale the next day, and those who were present were treated to an early screening of it.

Songs Performed: Izolado, Eternity, Infinity, Diamond Crevasse

Spring Break Concert '97

After working over the winter with the Bird Human production for its main theme, Liebe ~ Illusory Light, Sheryl put on a spring concert at her school, Mihoshi Academy, on April 4, 0097. On top of being a promotional concert for Bird Human, which would be released to theatres later that month, and a sort of welcome-back performance for the next year of school, it also marked the start of Sheryl's hiatus so she could focus on her studies. The concert itself was nothing but new songs, and when it ended, Sheryl's third EP album, Liebesträume, went on sale.

Songs Performed: One in a Billion, Spring Dream, Obelisk, Liebe ~ Illusory Light

Gallia IV Expedition Concert

During Sheryl's hiatus, she joined the expedition to Gallia IV. There, she and the rest of the fleet encountered the Zuvorg Empire and their allies, which had a military school on the other side of the planet from where the expedition set up camp. To establish friendly relations and give them a good impression of Earth, Sheryl put on a concert at said school on October 28, UC 0097, which included an early draft of a brand-new song.

Songs Performed: One in a Billion, Northern Cross, Liebe ~ Illusory Light, (Sagittarius * 9PM Don't Be Late), (Eternity), (Lion), (pink monsoon), (Diamond Crevasse), Sailor (early draft)

Sheryl Nome Amateur Songwriting Contest

A contest put on by Sheryl Nome and her team, aimed towards amateur songwriters, to segue her off her hiatus. The top five winners would have their songs produced and sung by Sheryl Nome. The contest itself ran from January 1, UC 0098, to September 30, UC 0098. After a period of deliberation and going through at least hundreds of thousands of submissions, the five winners were chosen: Leila Misakiyama's Life in Progress, Alouette Pommier's standing bird, Lina Lombardi's Giant Step, Asciel Colette's Auto-Mata, and I, Tabby's BLUE SKY. A live interview with four of the five winners was broadcast on April 26, UC 0099.

Songs Produced: Life in Progress, standing bird, Giant Step, Auto-Mata, BLUE SKY

Commercials and Products

Nome Pure Shield

Nome Pure Shield
Pure shield.png

A pair of 15-second commercials that were released July 2, 0096, for a new sunscreen made and sponsored by Sheryl Nome('s production team): Nome Pure Shield. Both commercials play a sample of the at-the-time brand-new Sheryl Nome song, Glittering Summer. For the product, there's two versions, both in crystalline-looking bottles that bear the PURE SHIELD logo under the mark of the Galactic Fairy: a golden heart with a fairy wing on the right. The first is an SPF 500+ sunscreen in a blue bottle, and an SPF 10,000+ sunscreen in a pink bottle. They're made for those living on colonies with no ozone layer, but it's plenty good enough for Earthnoids too.

THE FIRST COMMERCIAL shows the product logo over a triple sun system in a brilliant blue sky. Sheryl runs past in a white sun hat and a pink swimsuit. Tossing off her hat, she runs through water, splashing it in her wake. Text across the screen reads, 'Perfect domination over the galaxy's suns.'

"No matter how many suns there are," she says, snapping her fingers, "they won't extinguish my beauty." A wave crashes behind her, filled with colorful sea creatures, floating symbols including her trademark fairy-winged heart, and even a dude on a surfboard. She flips her hair, which shimmers from blonde to blue, as the camera lovingly lingers on her skin as her drop crystal earring sways.

"Make sure to protect my skin!" she declares as the shot expands outward to show her standing on an expansive tropical beach. The shot changes to a close-up of her face as she presses a finger to her lips as the camera works up the silhouette of a full-size version of her posing next to a blue Pure Shield bottle. "The sparkle is out of this universe: Pure Shield!"

THE SECOND COMMERCIAL starts much the same way, but Sheryl instead says, "Beauty is a triangle." As she runs through the water, screen text reads, 'This porcelain skin is deculture.' In the shot after she snaps her fingers, instead of the crashing wave, two colorful fish smooch overhead and explode into hearts as she continues, "The morning sparkles like a jewel."

The beach shot comes again as Sheryl declares, "Make sure to protect my skin!" A close-up of her face shows her giving the camera a sulty glance. Then we see her running along the beach in the background, while the foreground presents the blue bottle, from which the pink bottle emerges. "Nome: Pure Shield!"

There's also a poster and billboard version of this ad, which can be seen to the upper right. The central text reads, 'Perfect domination over the galaxy's suns.'

Sheryl Nome x THE KISS

Sheryl Nome x THE KISS
SherylxTheKiss.jpg

A limited edition line of jewelry released on Sheryl's birthday, November 23, 0096, as a collaboration between her and international jeweler THE KISS. It included a bracelet, a necklace, and a ring, and came in variations of gold, silver, and rose gold. It was available from then until New Year's Eve until supplies last, but those supplies didn't last that long. Two commercials aired at the time that ran as follows. (Thanks to Grace O'Conner's player for writing these for me!)

THE FIRST COMMERCIAL opens with a faintly playing, slightly distorted, yet perhaps familiar, piano melody in the background. A young woman's hand - pale and slender - appears in frame backed by darkness. Upon her finger rests a ring composed of two gold bands hooked around one another, connected by a delicately fashioned rose and a small, pale amethyst. As that hand is held up as if its wearer is admiring her ring, it holds pride of place at the center of the camera's field of vision.

The image of the girl's hand fades from view as the warbling melody grows louder and clearer. The words "THE KISS" briefly flash on screen before another vision, this time of the girl's wrist, washes into view. Upon the dainty appendage is an intricately wrought rose gold chain bracelet with a rose emblem linking the two ends of the chain. Flanking the rose emblem, approximately a fourth of the length of the chain away, are a pair of round white crystals dangling freely. From behind the wrist, one can see more of the young woman's frame, clad as it is in a loose and flowing yellow sundress with a pink ribbon cinching it at the waist.

Once again, the image fades as the music swells and grows clearer. At this point the melody is recognizable as a certain song for the fans. "x" appears on screen briefly before the image fades back in to show a white gold chain necklace worn around the slender neck of the young woman. The chain is joined in the middle by a rose charm; a third chain dangling about an inch from it with a delicately cut rose quartz clutched at the end. As the camera rises further, pink-painted lips come into view, which smile and murmur: "Can you hear my voice?"

The image fades again to this time show the name "Sheryl Nome" on screen. The music now raises again in volume, and its distortion fading fully away as the screen comes back to an image of Sheryl Nome. Her left hand is raised to clasp her right shoulder, while her left hand is raised to run several locks of her golden hair through their grasp while wearing the ring and bracelet shown earlier. She looks at the camera with her passionate blue eyes while the chorus of her song "Welcome to My Fan Club's Night!" thrums vibrantly on the piano. An announcer states:

"In honor of her eighteenth birthday, Galactic Fairy Sheryl Nome and renowned jewelry brand THE KISS come together to produce a limited edition line of accessories worthy of their names. Their specially designed ring, necklace, and bracelet, available in 14-karat gold, rose gold, and white gold, are the perfect gifts this Christmas season for the fairy of your galaxy. On sale now until New Year's Eve while supplies last, so order now."

The advertisement resolves to an image of Sheryl still holding a lock of her hair while having the jewelry on display. A sparkling purple and pink background resolves behind her with 'Sheryl Nome x THE KISS' being shown alongside larger, more textured images of the jewelry appearing beside her own, one set per variation for three sets total, and contact information on where and how to order. The ad completes with Sheryl speaking once more:

"Be good boys and girls."

THE SECOND COMMERCIAL is a 10-second variation on the above. Beginning with a dark screen, Sheryl's voice can be heard: "Can you hear my voice?"

The song "Welcome to My Fan Club's Night!" can be heard played on the piano as an image of Sheryl standing before a sparkling purple and pink background fades in, in a pose to show off the jewelry she wears as well as larger images of the ring, bracelet, and necklace sets appearing beside her. Once again 'Sheryl Nome x THE KISS' appears on top of the screen, but also the following words:

"Sheryl Nome x THE KISS collaborate to bring you a limited edition line of jewelry. A perfect gift for the fairy of your galaxy this Christmas season. Available until New Year's Eve while supplies last." The contact info for how and where to order follows in smaller text below.

Once again, the ad ends with Sheryl purring, "Be good boys and girls."

There's also a magazine version of this ad, which can be seen to the upper right.

Movies and Other Media

Bird Human

An in-universe movie based on the real events depicted in Macross Zero, which released April 12, UC 0097. Sheryl performed the movie's opening theme, Liebe ~ Illusory Light (Liebe ~ Maboroshi no Hikari | lyrics). Bird Human was also where Ranka Lee debuted in the role of Mao Nome.

Movie synopsis: "Shin Kudo (played by Chrom Thuse) is a soldier fighting against the Britannian Union. During a skirmish, he's shot down and ends up on the shores of the Isle of Maya, where he meets local priestess Sara Nome (played by Miranda Meryn) and her cheerful younger sister Mao (played by Ranka Lee). This island hides the secret of the 'Bird Human,' an alien lifeform that lasted on Maya long ago. The war comes to the Isle of Maya in search of this would-be bio-superweapon, and Shin and Sara must race against the clock to save Maya--and the world--from total annihilation."

Trial Trust: The Week-Long Death Game

An in-universe movie that released in the summer of UC 0098. It parodies actual movie The Incite Mill: Seven-Day Death Game and video game Danganronpa. Sheryl performed the movie's ending theme, TRY TO TRUST (SHINJITE MIRU | lyrics).

Movie synopsis: "Trial Trust tells the story of a dozen trustees who've been kidnapped and wake up in a condemned bank that appears to have a shady connection to each of them. A mysterious mechanized rabbit puppet then tells them all they need to kill each other to escape before the bank is destroyed in seven more days--but only if they can get away with murder in a specialized group trial! Why were they brought together? Who's controlling that rabbit puppet? And what is the secret behind this dilapidated bank that seems to spark a memory in everyone...? It's a thrilling high-speed murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the last minute!"

Azur Rain: the Animation

An anime released in April 0099 based on a popular shoot-'em-up sidescroller mobile game, which is known for its cute and ferocious characters, dramatic and political plot, and robust collaborations with other properties including a recent collab with Tarabaman Rise and Inferna. Parodies the real-world game/anime Azur Lane. Sheryl sang the opening theme, graphite/diamond (lyrics).

Anime synopsis: "Azur Rain: the Animation is twelve episodes long and covers the game's first story arc. Aliens invading from another galaxy cause the Earth Sphere's nations and colonies to unite and oppose them by deploying airships with a special super-weapon called the Azur Rain. However, as the war goes on, conflicting ideals cause humanity to split again! Will they be able to fight off their attackers and claim victory, or are they doomed to destruction?"

Song Lyrics

Diamond Crevasse

(Sing-along translation by Ayu Ohseki.)

Dear Lord in Heaven
Back when I was deep in love with you
There was not a moment when
I imagined such a parting would tear us in two

If we were fated
To never touch each other again
Then at least, before I wept,
I wanted you to hold me tight and forget for then

Our long, long good-bye...

"Farewell to thee, farewell to thee"
Times twenty thousand
So tenderly and cruelly
To myself I said

Your gentleness when you waved your hand hitched my breath
But what I want now is strength

I encountered you, and then I was born as the stars glittered above
So long as I live, so shall I continue to love
What's the point in waiting for a hopeless miracle you claim's forgone?
'Cause the shining of those stars, blurred by my tears, are all gone...

Forever lingering on my skin, my heart, my dewy eyes
I'll never forget your warmth as you held me close like the rays of a sunrise
A long, long good-bye...

Farewell to thee, farewell to thee
My dearly beloved
Because I had you by my side, I could walk ahead
I know I'm not alone, but still I feel so lonely
So I want you now to answer me

Snatch a blazing meteor out from the heavens to light up a sign
I want to keep loving you, I want you to love me for all time
What's the point in freezing for a world that won't hold out a hand anymore?
I keep putting on airs, but in truth your touch is all I long for...
Why can't I find my way? My tears spill so fast, I can't wipe them away

I encountered you, and then I was born as the stars glittered above
So long as I live, so shall I continue to love
What's the point in waiting for a hopeless miracle you claim's forgone?
'Cause the shining of those stars, blurred by my tears, are all gone...

If one day we can be reborn into a world where we're safe and free
Then I know I'll find you again, I know you'll race straight to me
Never let me go, let us never again take love for granted
"I won't let you feel alone," I want you to whisper to me, planet...

pink monsoon

(Translation by Ayu Oakhay.)

Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
I wanna lose control
It's all about communication

Until morning, you and I are just spinning around
We've got plenty of time to fall in love
Be my boyfriend
Let's waste our youth to get derailed and ruined together
Let me influence you deeper and deeper
You know this position's
The best, yeah?

Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
A scandal so hot we fog up the glass window
Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
I want you to do whatever you want, don't stop

For the most part, I'm a hot mess
You know that
But I'm keeping my hair neat and pretty
I'm old-fashioned
It's a 100% juice kind of game
It's pretty crazy, I am crazy for you
Let me influence you deeper and deeper
And then dump me on a rainy day!

Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
Until your fingers touch me here, don't stop
Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
I wanna lose control
Hey you, let's do communication

Even if this whole world is an illusion
Even if clinging to you marks the end

I won't forgive you if you make me realize
I'd have been better off alone

Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
A scandal so hot we fog up the glass window
Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
I want you to do whatever you want, don't stop

Baby pink monsoon
Baby pink monsoon
Lady sings love, mmm...
I wanna lose control
Hey you, let's do communication
