Macross Frontier, which marks the 25th anniversary of the Macross franchise, is a space opera anime with a heavy focus on two pop singers and their relationship with a pilot. Of course, that means lots of singing overlaying mecha battles and three amazingly awesome leads. This FST follows the three main characters and their interrelationship throughout the whole series (so there are SPOILERS for the entire series), with a special focus on the OT3 of Alto/Sheryl/Ranka and the characters that make that three-way pairing up.
Also, since this is a series about pop-singers and I wanted the music to reflect that, expect an abundance of female singers and (as much as I tried to avoid them) a few songs from Disney Channel movies. I have hopefully repented for that by sneaking in some Broadway musicals and a Finnish power metal song.
I hope you enjoy the OT3 love and please let me know if you download anything!


{Sheryl Nome performs on Frontier}
1. Britney Spears - Circus [lyrics]
There's only two types of people in the world:
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first
I'm like the ringleader,
I call the shots (Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker,
I make it hot

{Ranka Lee dreams of becoming a singer}
2. Demi Lovato - This is Me [lyrics]
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know

{Alto Saotome leaves his family tradition of acting for a life as a pilot}
3. Newsboys - Million Pieces [lyrics]
This is not your floor
You're going higher than before
Drop the weight now
Wait for the lookout guide
Look outside
As they all fall
Like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky
Kissing your cares goodbye
They all fall
Like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high
Now you're free to fly

{Ranka's star ascends, pressure from the government making her agree to lend her voice to their fight against the Vajra.}
4. Melanie C - Next Best Superstar [lyrics]
And you know that you're good
Cause they told you you could be
The next best superstar
And you know you can sing
And you'll do anything to be
The next best superstar
You're the next best superstar
Make a joke; do the show, where does all the money go?
You're living your dream
Crack a smile in denial; throw your morals on the fire
You're living your dream
Sell your life; sell your soul telling everyone you know
You're living your dream

{Sheryl's star fades as her life-threatening disease comes back.}
5. Pink - Lonely Girl [lyrics]
Starin' at the cracks in the walls
Cuz I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
Still I curl up right under the bed
Cuz it's takin' over my head all over again
Do you even know who you are?
(I guess I'm tryin' to find)
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
(I want to be a star)
Is life good to you or is it bad?
(I can't tell anymore)
Do you even know what you have?

{Ranka leaves Frontier, causing many to think her a traitor. Sheryl stops taking her medicine in hopes to use her voice to aid the government. Alto discovers they both are in love with him only shortly before Ranka leaves and he finds out Sheryl is dying.}
6. Aida - A Step Too Far [lyrics]
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell, just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on its head

{Ranka reaches out to a dying Sheryl, reminding her how she'd inspired her to sing and curing her disease}
7. Wicked - For Good [lyrics]
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

{Alto finally understands that both Sheryl and Ranka are his wings. "It's because we're alone that we can love someone!"}
8. Sonata Arctica - The Wind Beneath My Wings [lyrics]
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
but I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth, yes I do
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

{Sheryl and Alto}
9. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape [lyrics]
You held me down, I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, let's look for some common ground
So baby, times get a little crazy
I've been gettin' a little lazy, waitin' on you to come save me
I can see that you're angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me, wanna take you with me

{Ranka and Alto}
10. Nami Tamaki - You are the Music in Me [lyrics]
You know the words "once upon a time."
Make you listen, there's a reason.
When you dream, there's a chance you'll find,
a little laughter, or happy ever after.
Your harmony to melody,
it's echoing inside my head.
A single voice, above the noise.
And like a common thread,
Sing it to me!

{Sheryl and Ranka}
11. Britney Spears - Unusual You [lyrics]
When I'm with you, I can just be myself
You're always where you say you will be
Shocking, 'cause I never knew love like this
Could exist
Tables are turnin'
My heart is soarin'
You'll never let me down
Answer my call
Here after all
Never met anyone
Like you

{Alto, Sheryl and Ranka}
12. Christina Aguilera - Soar [lyrics]
Don't be scared
To fly alone
Find a path that is your own
Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know
All the answers you will unfold
What are you waiting for
Spread your wings and soar
