It’s that time again…
Alright, same basic rule as the previous times in that every franchise can only provide one character (forces people to think a bit more).
Besides that, a band line-up requires 1 vocal and 3 instruments or 4 instruments if one can also sing (a la Yui/Krauser). 1… 2… 3… let’s rock!
Lynn Minmay (Vocals)
The George Washington of the Macross franchise… fantastic voice, A++ stage presence, gorgeous, timeless, fearless, saved humanity, and owns her own meme. Now that’s an impressive resume. Everyone else from Mylene to Sharon Apple are just pretenders to her throne… and does Hikaru pick her? Of course not, he went for Nagisa. Sigh. Sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita / I LOVE YOU SO…
(Key performances: Do You Remember Love?; My Boyfriend Is a Pilot)
Yuki Nagato (Guitar)
Yuki’s guitar ability is only matched by Keanu Reeves. Keanu, after all, won a Rose Bowl, lost a Sugar Bowl, met Ben Franklin, practiced as a hotshot attorney, killed Vicious, discovered cold fusion, and can instantly download any ability/skill into his head.
(Key performances: God Knows; Lost My Music)
Mio Akiyama (Bass)
Our bassist overlord for the next 16 years. If I were designing my ideal bassist, she nails most of the key points: excellent looking meido, full of hopes and dreams, musically competent, not a tsundere, costume rapable, left handed, etc.
(Key performances: Don’t say “lazy”; My Love Is a Stapler)
Camus (Drums)
I cannot think of a more musically skilled drummer in anime that Camus. I also cannot think of one that could potentially sexually assault the rest of my rock band during a concert. This is a good thing.
(Key performances: Satsugai; Grotesque)

Not a bad pick, except somehow you’ll have to keep your band playing together even during said sexual assault.
Question is, what song will they play?
Argh, I forgot, we need a band manager as well
You disappoint me Jason.
Not only do we miss a band manager, there should also be a keyboard player, a roadie, and several hand-picked groupies.
I’ll be going with comedy value over quality on this one…
Vocals: Akiyama…Tokino!
Guitar: Ilpallazo-sama
Tambourine: Mikuru
Violin: Kotomi-chan
For the band manager, we needed an excellent leader that specialized in sexual harassment. At first I thought of Oharuhi-sama, but then I realized she isn’t a backstage type and would will Minmay out of existence. Then I thought of the Death Metal President, but it wasn’t the right type of sadism that this band deserved. Then I thought of Mion, and I knew I struck gold.
Mion’s Qualifications:
A) Leadership
B) Natural costume raper
C) Sadistic
D) Punishment Game
Between Mion and Camus, poor Mio would be cowering and broken within hours. Delicious…
If someone asked me to create the ultimate rock band, I’d have to first with Haruhi. She’d simply WILL everyone else to be spectacular. She could make Tsukasa play the recorder with skillz worthy of Carnegie Hall. But since it’s a rock band, Madison Square Garden would work.
Sorry Jason, but as much as Minmay has accomplished(Or lack there of), she is still an incredibly annoying girl. You say that Hikaru picked the Nagisa. On the contrary, he AVOIDED the Nagisa. He picked the Kyou.
Minmay may have a meme coined after her, but that still doesn’t

Minmay may have a meme coined after her, but that still doesn’t make her any less useless in an actual fight.
I’m of the opinion that The Kotomi Offense would be much more effective than The Minmay Defense. Kotomi + Violin + High tech, high powered futuristic amplification and transmitters… the star systems she would destroy would be countless.
Wouldn’t that need the Basara Offense to make it work (Sound doesn’t normally travel in space), but with direct application of high powered speakers via missiles….the Universe is doomed.
But then the question would be, are you trying to make a band that with own the universe, or destroy the universe?
OF course sound travels through space. How else do you hear the rockets roaring, explosions and hot shot pilots yelling out their attacks? Duh.
…
And if the Universe is worth owning, its worth destroying too. What better way than with the universal language of music (with applied mathematics)
My money’s on Black Heaven, they have a proven track record in interstellar battles. :) HARD ROCK SAVE THE SPACE
@coyote: The Kotomi Offense would be so effective, the Anti-Spirals would be forced to seal her underground for fear that she would destroy the universe.
Lack of Black Heaven or BECK makes me a sad panda. And I see nostalgia talking, since that’s the only reason I can see why Minmay’s in and not Basara.
@Tarage
Wrong analogy. Jason got it right the first time. Minmay is the Fuko, not Nagisa.
Vocals: Ranka because Megumi Nakajima is completely awesome.
Drums: Haru (Xam’d) she does a mean kick pedal in the OP
Guitar: Saya (Bamboo Blade) to compose more serenades for Kirino.
Other Guitar: Jiro (Kikaider) for his ability to play haunting guitar melodies and for the obligatory band robot.
Backup Singer/Dancer – Taniguchi (Lucky Star)
Thinking of musically talented anime characters from non music focused shows was a lot harder than I’d thought it’d be.
