Singers May'n and Megumi Nakajima took an interstellar journey in the live-action music video for the Macross Frontier single "Good Job!" A short version of the music video began streaming on Wednesday after previously being teased on the official website for the Uta Macross Sumaho De Culture rhythm smartphone game. May'n and Nakajima are the singing voices for Macross Frontier idols Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee.
Within the anime series, "Good Job!" was recorded in the year 2059, before the final battle. It was used in an in-series commercial for the fictional galactic part-time job magazine Space arbeit (Space Part-Time Jobs).
A teaser for the music video appeared on outdoor screens in Japan on August 22 until Wednesday. Akihabara's UDX Vision and Onoden DX; Shinjuku's Alta Vision; Shibuya's 109 Forum, Q'S EYE, DHC Channelk, and Shibuya Television 2; and Osaka's Tombori Station, Nanba Ebisu Vision, Shinsaibashi OPA, and Hankyu Bigman screens aired teaser videos before Wednesday's reveal.
The new single is slated for release on September 26, and will be the idols' first new release in seven years. The single will also include a solo track by Sheryl featuring May'n (the character's singing voice) titled "Gooorgeous" (lit.: GO~~jus). The second track was featured in a music video starring Sheryl in Akihabara in March.
Additionally, a third track titled "Ranka to Brand New Peach" is also included on the single. The song is completely new and is a retro pop techno song by Ranka's singer Megumi Nakajima. Yoko Kanno produced and composed all three songs.
The single celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Macross Frontier anime. Series' character designer Risa Ebata drew the single's artwork.
