Posted by To commemorate Animax‘s ten year anniversary, they’ve been airing a weekly program throughout July about why anime is interesting. The theme of last night’s program happened to be music, and Nakajima Megumi made an appearance to sing Seikan Hikou from Macross Frontier. She does a pretty good job singing live, but I think it’s even more impressive when you compare how well her singing and dancing match up with the choreography video that was posted on the official site a while back. That must have taken a lot of practice. I’ve put them side-by-side above for easier viewing – it may require a small amount of manual syncing to get the two videos to line up perfectly, but I think it’s worth it because it’s a fun watch. This is arguably better than May’n’s live Diamond Crevasse performance.
Deculture!!
Too cute and indeed a good live singer. Honestly think she sounds better than the diamond crevasse live.
She’s in love with me, but she doesn’t know it yet. What’s her number by the way?
I probably shouldn’t be commenting here, but that’s too damn cool. Megumi > May’n!
She’s so cute huh…
DECULTURE!!!
My technique for synching is
1. Fully load both
2. Play first video then pause before Megumi sings “ooooh oooh oooh yeah”
3. Play second video, when it reaches before the “oooh oooh oooh yeah” part, play the first video.
Works like a charm, it’s so cute 🙂
Megumi’s so sweet ‘n’ cute. Seikan Hikou suits her to T.
Maybe it’s just me but I like Megumis voice more than Mays. Megumi FTW! <3
I like Megumi’s high pitches better, but I love May’n’s lower register better (though she hardly uses it in Macross Frontier…)
that’s quite an impressive amount of work she must have put into getting so much in synch with the choreography vid
May’n has a striking voice, but I believe the gave each the most fitting songs. N. Megumi performs better live though, plus she’s really cute too.
somebody pause the video at 2.22 and make a screen!

They both are good and beautiful, but May’n sings far better. It´s kinda like a Britney vs. Christina comparison.
YAKKU DECULTURE
Is this going to be the new Hare Hare Yukai/Motteke?
Time to learn dance and post on Youtube / Nico 😀
When is she gonna have a sing off against May’n in front of Alto’s VA?
she’s cute like ranka and good live performer too
X_X
cuteness of both x2
IIRC they based the Ranka choreography video off Megumi’s dancing.
Now they’re ready to do a sing off in real life lol…
DECULTURE!
I love her boots.
That was totally cute. I remember those cutesy dancesteps in episode 12 lol I can’t blame Alto for being a moe-con. The cute attack was just devastating. Ranka can take care of the Zentradis, Megumi can take care of RL fanboys.
makes me post my first comment… seriously, i can’t decide what’s better in music, macross or cowboy bebop…
and yeah… YAKH DECULTURE!!!
Someone already did the dance on nico nico x.X

*Sighs* I think karaoke bars are going to need to make their rooms bigger…It’s already hard enough to do Hare Hare Yukai.
I’m amazed at…
– How well she did that choreography
– How well she sings
– How damn cute she is… like zomgbbq dude! <3 almost as cute as Ranka O_o
Love this song
wow i’ve seen the official video a few times… this si the first time I;ve noticed that Ranka’s eyes are actually quite scary in that video ~_~;
omgwow i can’t stop myself from repeating that vid. gotta love the choreo work + the cute outfit + her voice = epic win. 🙂
MOAR!!!!
Er, am I the only one that liked May’n’s performance more? This song isn’t particularly difficult to sing, unlike Diamond Crevasse, which requires more vocal prowess, and if Westlo’s correct, then her dancing wasn’t that impressive either, since the choreography was pretty simple. Not to say she isn’t good, her voice is really cute and nice to listen to, I just don’t think this performance was particularly impressive.
Where can i download this 2 Video? & also Mayn’s live performance too…i wanna download it soo Bad!!!
@Asuka
Comparing the two live performances, I would say that Megumi’s was more polished, but I definitely agree that Diamond Crevasse requires more vocal prowess, and May’n pulled it off well.
“This is arguably better than May’n’s live Diamond ”
lol right 😐
OMG~
deculture cuteness~~~ /:nosebleed~ lol
Thanks Omni. I like this song a lot more now, for some reason… maybe it was just *that* cute. 🙂
damn! she’s so cute!!!
darn.. i’ve watched this video so many times now, but i just can’t enough of her!!! i knew that nakajima megumi was pretty, but in this performance, she’s so adorable and way too cute!! awwww.. i wanna hug her… megumi-chan!!! =3
luv the song. its wat goes on repeat in me head alot of the time. now we get to see her perform! awesome. its as good as studio recordings get.
I’m glad her voice isn’t that cute in real life. She either sings in higher octave for Ranka, or they make more cute with the computer.
OMG! She is soooooooo cute! And I like her legs xD
Wow, the OP’s so cute.
love the song its amazing how she can follow ranka’s steps!
really practiced so darn well!
i found out in wikipedia she’s a half pilipino and now
that makes me proud to be a pilipino 😀
