Sheryl Nome starring May’n Live R-Zero Appearance May 28
For all you Macross Frontier and Japanese music fans out there, Nakabayashi May (Sheryl’s voice in all the songs) made an appearance last night on TBS’s Live R-Zero program and sang Diamond Crevasse in its entirety. Even after listening to her CD ad nauseum, I still really like the song, so it was cool to hear the live version. She did a fairly good job with it too - much better than I’ve heard some more popular artists do (SMAP and Ayumi come to mind) anyway. My main complaint is that the audience and host Izumiya Shigeru didn’t really seem all that into it, and that kind of took away from the atmosphere. Then again, this is an anime song appearing on a normal music program, so it might be somewhat understandable. Regardless, the video is definitely still worth a watch, if for just the song alone. Hopefully it’ll be able to hold me over until the first Macross Frontier soundtrack is released next Wednesday (June 4th).

Leo: Ranka’s voice actress Nakajima Megumi did not appear on the program.

I’m glad I watched this. I am also a Sheryl fan so it was nice to hear a live version.
I did not like this song at first, but once I put it on my iPod I started to like it more.

Cool! ^^
Just wish the song What ‘Bout My Star from Nakajima Megumi comes out soon.. I sooo want that song…

Wow she really is a good singer. Often the live versions I heard weren’t that good.
And of course - awesome song. A pity the audience don’t support her really..
“Then again, this is an anime song appearing on a normal music program, so it might be somewhat understandable.”
What? That sounds pretty much like a good j-pop song too me. The audience is rather retarded - my impression..

Wow, she did pretty well for live. This song tends to send chills down my spine when I listen to it for whatever reason.

I have been left speechless. I cannot wait for her performance during Animelo.

The live is kind of shaky but its pretty good. Love this song XD I hope she does more lives from now on. Wish there was a iteza gogo kuji don’t be late live though.

“Just wish the song What ‘Bout My Star from Nakajima Megumi comes out soon.. I sooo want that song…”
It will be on the OST along with the original Sheryl/May’n version, funny enough the Ranka/Nakajima Megumi version has Sheryl/May’n on it as well…. well it is her song… but still she was just watching in the crowd with her slave/princess.

The live was pretty good, I haven’t heard ayumi live but I know she lip syncs a lot and has come under fire from that several times previously.
I really really want to hear the Sheryl version of what bout my star live though.

that crowd seriously looked like abunch of zombies, they didn’t move an inch.

I absolutely love this song. Looking forward to the soundtrack and some of Nakajima Megumi’s stuff too.

OMG!!! I LOVE IT!! And somehow the mature Sheryl does seem to be a better match for Alto-hime

Hmm~ wasn’t too bad, but her live rendition felt a bit “off”. I think she was probably nervous at the beginning, since her singing lacked the intensity of the recorded versions. It got better towards the end, so I guess she got comfortable back.
Anyways, Sheryl’s songs are really awesome!

damm i love her singing, that song “Diamond Crevasse” and Itzea gogo kuji don’t be late” really touch my heart.
