The film revolves three chief characters, Hikaru Ichijyo (a hot-shot pilot), coquettish pop-star Lynn Minmay and the Fortress' first mate Misa Hayase. This story is framed by a war between humans and the alien Zentradi over possession of the space fortress Macross, which harbors tens of thousands of human civilians from Macross City. Crew and civilians know Earth was attacked but do not know the fate of the humans on Earth. However, it is revealed that the all-male Zentradi are fighting a war against their female counterparts: the Meltlandi; both genders, bred for war, are eventually stricken by their contact with Protoculture (human culture), particularly due to music and love.
Do You Remember love? begins in media res with the SDF-Macross trying to evade the Zentradi at the edge of the solar system. The Space Fortress houses an entire city with tens of thousands of civilians who are cut off from Earth. During the latest assault, Valkrie pilot Ichijo Hikaru rescues pop idol Lynn Minmei. This fateful meeting leads to a relationship between the singer and her #1 fan.
The Zentradi, meanwhile discover the debilitating and disruptive effect music has on the rank and file troops. Troubled by this, they capture Minmei, her cousin Kaifun, Roy Fokker, Hikaru and Hayase Misa. During an attack by the Meltrandi, Misa and Hikaru escape only to fold accidentally to a desolate world that turns out to be the Earth. As the two officers walk the blasted landscape of the now-desolate Earth they become closer. They also discover an ancient city of the Protoculture where the mysterious origins of the alien giants is revealed.
As the two galactic armies converge on the Macross, the conflict threatens to obliterate what's left of humanity whose only hope lies a song discovered by Misa and sung by Minmei.
