Raping Ranka Lee: Another Macross Frontier Controversy

Sexy Ranka LeeAfter the whole May'n debacle, comes a new Macross Frontier controversy this time starring the other main character, Ranka Lee/Megumi Nakajima. Here's the script:
A few days ago, Nakajima Megumi released a video showing her dance to her new “Be MYSELF" song. Apparently, the video received many insulting comments and it got so out of hand that the Nico Video (Japanese Youtube) management had to start removing comments themselves. On top of that, it also made headlines on some Japanese websites! The original video now has over 285,000 views and 28,000 comments, which probably makes it one of the fastest videos to achieve such popularity (source). In any case it makes for great publicity!

2/10 I find "Be MYSELF" really hard to listen to! It's such a wannabe Ranka Lee song, but unfortunately without Yoko Kanno composing the music. As for the choreography, it's really horrendous, or laughable at the least... I don't know if she's desperately trying to milk the Ranka Lee character or worse just raping her for fun. Which is quite ironic, when the song is called "Be MYSELF"! Well, stop trying to be Ranka Lee, and Be YOURSELF for a change, LOL.
Check out the infamous video:
