Walküre Profile
The Macross series will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year. Together with Gundam and Evangelion, Macross is one of the big three popular robot anime series in Japan. The tactical music unit Walküre appeared in Macross Delta, the latest installment of the series that has been highly popular both at home and abroad. It is the first five-member group in the history of the Macross series, which has produced various divas such as Mari Iijima, Chie Kajiura, May’n, and Megumi Nakajima. JUNNA, the series’ youngest diva at the age of 15 at the time of the 2016 TV broadcast, and Minori Suzuki, who successfully won the role of the heroine from about 8,000 people at the Macross Audition, are the front vocalists, and together, the five of them deliver exceptional chorus work. Apart from JUNNA, all four of them also voice the characters.
Their debut single, “Ichido Dake no Koi Nara”, has been viewed more than 19 million times on YouTube. Their first album Walküre Attack! sold 200,000 CDs, ranked 1st on the Billboard Weekly Album Chart, 2nd on the Oricon Weekly Album Chart, and won Animation Album of the Year at the 31st Japan Gold Disc Awards. In their five-year career, they have released four singles, two albums, one mini-album, and two live videos. Their latest single “Mirai wa Onna no Tame ni aru”, released last year, reached No. 1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
