Macross Frontier The Movie: The False Songstress
A theatrical version of the Macross Frontier television anime series was announced in Japan during the broadcast of the 25th and final episode Your Sound ("Anata no Oto") on September 25, 2008. According to interviews with Shōji Kawamori the movie was to be a adaptation of the story from the T.V. series. Japanese anime magazine Animedia had originally announced that the film was to be released during the summer of 2009. Other reports later placed the premiere in the fall of 2009.That report was confirmed by an itasha (vehicle decorated with character art) mini-van outside the "Macross: The Super Dimension Space Launching Ceremony" event that took place on February 22, 2009 in Japan. However, at that point, the creator Shoji Kawamori and the cast members Yuuichi Nakamura (Alto Saotome), Aya Endo (Sheryl Nome), and Megumi Nakajima (Ranka Lee) noted on the actual event, that the new date and the title were still subjected to changes.
The theatrical film adaptation of the Macross Frontier opened in Japan on November 21, 2009 under the name Gekijō-ban Macross Frontier ~Itsuwari no Utahime~ (Macross Frontier the Movie: The False Songstress). The Kadokawa Cineplex and Shochiku Multiplex theaters' websites revealed the title and date, and the second issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Macross Ace magazine eventually published the details on June 26, 2009. The teaser trailer for the film premiered in Japanese theaters on June 27, 2009 (the same day ticket pre-sale began in Japan).
A Blu-ray Disc release of the movie, titled Macross Frontier The Movie: The False Songstress Hybrid Pack is scheduled for release in October 7, 2010. The blu-ray release contains the Blu-ray jacket, the hybrid disc, a 48-page artwork booklet, a theatrical release archive, and a card that contains the movie frames. There is also a code that allows you to get into a lucky draw where you stand a chance to attend the Macross F Christmas Live event. A PS3 game titled "Macross Trial Frontier" will be included in the Hybrid Pack, it can be played when the disc is in the PlayStation 3. A DVD release is also scheduled on the same day.
