Ranka Lee's (Fictional) Discography

The Super-Dimensional Cinderella

This is a collection of the songs and performances for Ranka Lee 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'll also eventually include non-Frontier Megumi Nakajima songs as Ranka'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.

Ranka Lee officially ICly debuted on April 29, UC 0097. Since the Frontier plot, and Ranka'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: Interstellar Flight

Ranka's first single, released on her 17th birthday during her debut on April 29th 0097. Interstellar Flight was an instant hit, and while she didn't write it herself due to her inexperience, she insists that it was written with her feelings in mind, and that she would not have approved it for release if it didn't deeply resonate with her. Cat's Diary had already been released as a promotional track pre-debut, but without widespread release, to this she credits 'I, Tabby' for the arrangement.

 02. Cat's Diary (Neko Nikki | lyrics)
 03. Do You Remember Love? Deculture Edition Size (Ai, Oboete Imasu ka)

Bird Human Soundtrack

The soundtrack for the movie Bird Human, released around the same time as it on April 12, UC 0097. Aside from the movie's opening theme and score, it includes Aimo ~ Bird Human (Aimo ~ Tori no Hito | lyrics), the movie ending theme sung by Ranka.

Second Single: Rainbow Bear Bear

Ranka's second single, released during the August 0097 after her Eden concert. Rainbow Bear Bear is the first song that she wrote herself, and while she plays coy about the exact inspirations, it's about the magic she feels exists in the feelings of a young girl, living out her day to day life in even the little things. Azure Ether provides a strong contrast, while displaying her range, a song about her yearning for someone she loves. While this one she didn't write, she credits it as well to 'I, Tabby', a good friend whose feelings she often feels in tune with.

Third Single: Hello!

Released March UC 0098 after Ranka left quarantine, the album is dedicated in memory of Gallia IV, and the Princesses Lan and Yurikano. She credits it's titular song as a collaborative effort between those Princesses, herself, and Sheryl Nome to share the 'Deculture' of Earth by writing a song together. Originally sang on a concert just before the planet's demise, she didn't actually get to finish a performance until just after the album's release.

Afterschool Overflow

Ranka's fourth single was released November UC 0098, and set sales records for nearly three months, with the titular song topping most charts. 'Afterschool Overflow' itself was written by Ranka, which she describes as being about those feelings for that person in your life that supports you by being strong, so you can be weak and being afraid of parting from that person you care so much about.

Interstellar Twilight Tour

Ranka's first tour after her trip to Gallia IV over the various Sides of the Earthsphere, including the PLANTS and the Orbital Ring was focused primarily on Space. The twilight motif was meant to represent the Sky of Gallia IV, asking her fans to grieve with her over it's loss. Took place from March 0098 to July 0098. This tour also included an unadvertised tour destination of Magallanica 'Secret Stop' (Shhh!) given it's precarious political position.

Glass Slipper (Clock Strikes Midnight) Tour

An earthside tour that began September 0098 and lasted until Early December 0098, during which Afterschool Overflow was released. During this tour a prior Britannia Blacklist on Ranka that began in March was lifted following negotiations with Nergal. Also present was a leak to the fandom that the Space Assembly League and NUNE were negotiations for Ranka to join them as a defense asset in their fight against the Vajra, a move which was whispered to be them looking for the next Lynn Minmay. Ranka released 'no comment' when questioned on the former, and only replied 'I have a long way to go before I'd ever be on her level.' when the comparison of her being the next Lynn Minmay was made.

Nippon Budoukan Concert! Grace's first Concert as Ranka's Manager

Took place May 25, UC 0099.

Song Lyrics

Aimo ~ Bird Human

(Aimo ~ Tori no Hito. Sing-along translation by Ayu Oahkay.)

Aimo aimo
Nedel lushe
Noina miria
Endel prodea
Photomi

Here we are in a warm sea: look up and breathe

Lulei luleia
Skylarks soar like lapping waves over me
Lulei luleia
You are the gentle child of all greenery

Aimo aimo
Nedel lushe
Noina miria
Endel prodea
Photomi

Here we are in a warm sea: look up and breathe

Slumbering in the depths of my heart, as vast and brilliant as the stars, my affection for you
With the heat of your hand held in mine, when your quiet lips frame a rhyme, will awaken in tune

Here we are in a warm sea: look up and breathe

Aimo aimo
Nedel lushe
Long ago, we were all as one in this world, borderless
Come here and breathe in again the warm universe

Cat's Diary

(Translation by Ayu Oakhay. In-character composed by I, Tabby.)

Wednesday (good morning~), Xuary the Xth, sunny
The light smells water-blue

In the cat's diary
There's a record of how many times it took a nap
In the swing's diary
There's a record of today's acceleration and dreams taking off
In the clock's diary
There's a record of how many times its love has looked its way
And so, in the diary of my lips
There's a record of how many times I've called your name
One, two, three, four, five, and six...

Thursday (good morning~), Xuary the Xth, dreamy
Will you and I get any closer?

In space's diary
There's a record of when a star meets another
In the curtains's diary
There's a record of rumors on the wind of someone kissing
The rocket's diary would have
A record of counting down on its fingers 'til the day it takes off
And then, in the diary of my lips
I'm dreaming of doing that countdown with you
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...

Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu...
My diary is dreaming of kissing you...

Ninji-n Loves You Yeah!

(Translation from Anime Lyrics by Dark Mirage.)

Even if life in this world is tough,
You still have your dreams, here and there.
That give you your vitamins, the seven colours.
Carrot loves you yeah!

One day you will arrive at the future,
Don't let your body give up before that.
They tune up your engine, the seven colours.
Carrot loves you yeah!

You dedicate your life to love and work,
But you enjoy it, right? Doesn't it fire you up?
That's the important part. The seven colours.
Carrot loves you yeah!

Let's go, the universe is waiting!
I know you are not scared at all.
How many enemies await? The seven colours.
Carrot loves you yeah!

Starlight Natto

(Translation by Ayu Oakhay.)

Come to Never Never Land
Let's never never together!
What a wonderful Never Never Land
Let's never never again tonight!
Don't give up, never never!
From me to you, never never!
Starlight natto glitters in the night sky
Stick it out, never never!
Stick it out when you've got dreams

Come to Never Never Land
Let's never never forever!
Our very own Never Never Land
Let's wind around never never!
Don't hold back, never never!
It'll give you stamina, never never!
Starlight natto satisfies your hunger
Stick it out, never never!
Stick it out and give me seconds

Come to Never Never Land
Let's never never never never!
To an infinite Never Never Land
Let's never never never never!
It's so addictive, never never!
I won't let you go anymore, never never!
Starlight natto's just getting started
Stick it out, never never!
Stick it out and get stuck on it

Dynam Chogokin

(Translation by Ayu Oakhay.)

Dynam

Dynam dynamic

Souls boil for a Chogokin robot toy
A real hobby that forges joy
Softly assemble it with your fingers
And rear it, pretty please~
An unbelievable rare item

Transform! Deform! And unite dynamic

Souls blaze for a Chogokin robot toy
I don't want to let go, I can't let go
Make a cute and lifelike figurine
And rear it, pretty please~
Now I kinda want to mess with these parts and take them apart

Dynam

Dynam dynamic

Transform! Deform! And unite dynamic

Daruma Seminar

(Translation by Ayu Oakhay.)

Even if you trip, even if you fall
I know you'll get lucky and get back up
Daruma Seminar guarantees you'll pass

Even if you're at your wits' end
Just tough it out until exam day
Daruma Seminar guarantees your victory

Traverse the universe
Pass the exam for university
Daruma Seminar guarantees you college

Azure Ether

(Ao no Ether. Sing-along translation by Ayu Oakhay. In-character written and composed by I, Tabby.)

For your fragile heart, I'll give you one of my many names
Hold it dear, for it calls me to your side
So in return could I request just one of your few words
One that doesn't convey "good-bye"?

The light forms particles, then shines out in waves
You take the form of a bird, then soar into space

There we were, always together
That day when all life was in harmony
Your smile bound my soul in chains, and at the same time, set it free

How I wish we could still be together
But no matter how I voiced my longing to the air
It would not reach you, now so far from me
Shall I go, all alone, on an azure journey?

They will neither take the offense, nor go on the defense
My feelings are balanced between
The brightest shining hope and the deepest dark of despair
There my feelings are balanced between

The future's feather-light, then leaden once again
I take the form of water, then burst into flame

There we were, always together
That day when all felt warm in harmony
Nearer than love, we felt a unison so strong we couldn't breathe

How I wish we could still be together
But your music, I can now no longer hear
From where I drift beyond your galaxy
Shall I go, all alone, on an azure journey?

Shall I go, all alone, on an azure journey?

Afterschool Overflow

(Houkago Overflow. Translator Unknown! Written in character by Ranka Lee.)

Because you're so very gentle
You take all the pain on yourself
As you support me, and take on that role
It becomes the real you.
Even if you're hurt by my weakness,
I'm sure you wouldn't say a word.

Even in my average everyday life
Seeing your face in profile
As I looked up was special.

If we part ways after school,
We may not be able to meet again tomorrow.
The rain flowed down over my eyelids
The vision of your back as
You walked home after school,
Became a sepia photograph.

Love is kind of embarrassing,
I couldn't sing your name
The reason the world is endless will break you
If you think about it too deeply,

As you whispered, "I couldn't protect that person,"
I held you tightly.

If we part ways after school,
We may not be able to meet again tomorrow.
I believed things would change,
But as I pick up my childhood dreams,
They become a sepia photograph.

As it rushes past, the blue storm of time strikes my cheeks
I will always love you, love you.

If we part ways after school,
We may not be able to meet again tomorrow.
Before I open my eyes,
In the skies to the East
Beyond those skies you are…

If we part ways after school,
We may not be able to meet again tomorrow.
The rain flowed down over my eyelids
The vision of your back as
You walked home after school,
Became a sepia photograph.

Saturday Night Question

(Translation from Animelyrics by Fuukanou)

Worn out by the remaining pain,
My heart's gotten warped and taut to its limit
Its strings weren't all that thick...

Unable to fully avoid the doubt and wariness being cast on me,
I occasionally hide the woods in the forest,
And doing this, I've grown fed up of apologising to myself

Removing a mask that doesn't even exist,
Saturday night begins to move one more step forward

Lights and dreams lead me, illuminating the future with vibrant light
I want to touch them, to trace them out
I'll cross the frustrating, longing, swaying nights while embracing them
Until I open the next door...

Just where is this fabled total retraction?
I clapped my hands and checked for an echo
Listening closely, I can faintly hear one...

Once a chance that I can take advantage of presents itself,
'Okay, I'll take my leave here'
I wonder if acting tough like that is getting me anywhere...

I'm being asked 'What do you want to do?'
However much time passes, I can't solve this q-q-question

I search for almost forgotten fragments and words from a scattered puzzle
I want to fill it in leaving no gaps
I'll find an answer from both the time that won't come back and a small fabricated past
Once I've opened the next door...

Removing a mask that doesn't even exist,
When I solve this q-q-question with just a little more work, Saturday night will begin to move

Lights and dreams lead me, illuminating the future with vibrant light
I want to touch them, to trace them out
I'll cross the frustrating, longing, swaying nights while embracing them
Until I open the next door...
Once I've opened the next door...

That's right

(Sou da yo. Translation from Animelyrics by Chokoreeto. In-character written and composed by I, Tabby.)

That's right.
Your words are always a treasure
No matter how many times, their light and energy
Always reaches me.

Even though I can't meet you now, I'm all right.
So even though I can't meet you now,
I'd like it if you were all right, too.

Tell me about the dream you had yesterday, and the story of the neighbor's dog
Teach me about the world you see that I don't know
Even though I'd like you see you now, after just a little longer,
I want to close my eyes and hear the voice of the person I love but can't see.

Good morning In your neighborhood, the day begins
Good night In my neighborhood, the first star...

As many hundreds of millions of light years away as the sky I kiss you from is
That kiss will jump over those hundreds of millions of light years to reach you.

Even though I can't meet you now, I'm all right.
So even though I can't meet you now,
I'd like it if you were all right, too.

Hello!

(Translation by bambooXZX. In character written and composed by Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome with special thanks to Lan and Yurikano.)

Hello!

Try! There's a heart that doesn't give up, here in this chest of mine.
I won't forget, never.
Don't Cry. I'm sure it's a promise we'll keep, that you won't go crying alone,
Because we're always together.

If we take one piece of sorrow (and gently share it together...)
We can become stronger. Yeah!

Put a smile on your face right now! My Friend!
Not for the sake of anyone else, but because you've decided to feel that way yourself.
With a steady and sincere voice, Hello!
Sing out the song you always sing, with a drop of courage in your heart, Yeah!

Hello!

Why? There are times when you'll be a little confused,
When you'll need to stand still,
But tell me! Because your words are tied to a powerful pledge,
And they can change the world.

The thing that I was searching for... (Yes, it was you.)
When I see those eyes, I understand the message. Yeah!

I'm going right now! My Friend!
The hope that overflows from my heart reaches the other side of outer space.
Collecting smiles, Hello!
When you cast them out into the night sky, the gleaming lights are comets, Yeah!

The message that was hiding in the pocket of my uniform...
One day, at some point, it was fluttering in the wind - No....
In the corner of the schoolyard, I was always gazing at it,
At the little dream in the palm of my hand. 1, 2, 3, 4!

Put a smile on your face right now! My Friend!
Not for the sake of anyone else, but because you've decided to feel that way yourself.
With a steady and sincere voice, Hello!
Sing out the song you always sing, with a drop of courage in your heart, Yeah!

The miracle that I met on that day, My Friend!
