theme "Voices". When it came to Episode 4 of the original translation, due to a rights issue at the time, the entire soundmix including music and sound effects had to be recreated from scratch. Only the songs performed by Sharon Apple ("Pulse," "Information High," and "Santi-U(second half)/Torch Song") and the English version of "Voices" were retained. The background music entitled "Dogfight" was replaced with another track entitled "Breakout" (featured in Episode 1 and 2), notably in the main Dogfight sequence and just after Isamu recovers from his trance. It was later that Bandai Visual commissioned a new dub for Episode 4, retaining the original Japanese soundmix but utilizing a new voice cast due to actor availability. Most notably Isamu's part was recast with David Hayter, most famous for his voicework on the Metal Gear series. This version was exclusive to Japan, also being included as the English dub of choice on the Japanese Blu-ray release in 2012, still retaining the original Manga versions of Episodes 1 - 3. In Japan, this version was released with Japanese subtitles as the "International Version". Isamu Alva Dyson (Bryan Cranston, David Hayter (Bandai Dub of Episode 4)) Guld Goa Bowman (Richard Epcar, Michael Gregory (Bandai Dub of Episode 4)) Myung Fang Lone (Riva Spier) Lucy McMillan (Dyanne DiRosario) Sharon Apple (Melora Harte) Marge Gueldoa (Steven Blum) Millard Johnson (Beau Billingslea) Yang Neumann (Dan Woren, Derek Stephen Prince (Bandai Dub of Episode 4)) Kate Masseau (Edie Mirman) In January 1998, it broadcast in 3 parts, each twice on midnights on the new Teletoon station in Canada along with the film Ninja Scroll. Macross Plus: Movie Edition Scriptwriter Keiko Nobumoto originally wrote Macross Plus as a feature-length work before the script evolved into a four-volume video series. The movie edition returns the story to the initially planned feature length. The theatrical version (マクロスプラス MOVIE EDITION) has approximately 20 minutes of new and alternative footage, though the filmmakers also dropped scenes (such as Isamu's battle training at the beginning of Episode 1). The chronology at the beginning of the story is different as well, with Myung Fang Lone and Sharon Apple appearing almost immediately whereas their entrance does not occur until about 14-15 minutes into Episode 1. Macross Plus Movie Edition had a limited theatrical release at the Barbican Centre in the UK on September 14, 2019, and in the U.S. through Fathom Events on December 14,
