Iijima's original demo tape was picked up by JVC Victor in 1982 and she was signed to the record company as a singer-songwriter. Soon afterward, she was asked to audition for the role of Lynn Minmay in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross by the label and the producers chose her to play the role. The series quickly became a mega hit and brought Iijima to stardom. Her debut album, Rosé, containing no Macross tracks, had lyrics and music written by her. It debuted at number 10 on the charts in September 1983, and she started her career as a singer-songwriter.
Iijima moved to Los Angeles in 1989 to expand her music career. That same year, she appeared as a guest vocalist on Van Dyke Parks' album Tokyo Rose. After releasing her first independent (and first English language) album, No Limit, she was nominated for the 2000 Los Angeles Music Awards' Best Pop Artist for the album and she was in the final four for the award.

The lyrics to 飯島真理's song 小白竜 (Little White Dragon) speak about the titular character, a small and powerful dragon. The chorus repeats the phrase "Remember, Little White Dragon!" as if calling upon the listener or a group of characters to recall the awesome power of the dragon. The dragon is said to have silver wings that soar through the sky and eyes that can cut through darkness. The song suggests that the dragon has come to the city in search of a sick man, who the singer refers to as the "Evil Slayer."
The song uses imagery of light and hope to paint the dragon as a savior or messiah figure. The line "小白竜 IS A VERY MESSIAH" drives this point home, suggesting that the dragon has been sent to save the sick man and bring light to a dark and troubled city. The song offers a message of hope and strength in the face of adversity, with the dragon as a symbol of power and salvation.
Overall, the lyrics to 小白竜 celebrate the power and majesty of a mythical creature while also touching on themes of hope, darkness, and illness. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of remembering the dragon, as if to say that its power and message should not be forgotten.

本放送当時、模型店で無料配布されていた縦長の情報小冊子にはバルキリーの変形プロセスの解説文の中に
「シャッターが閉まり燃焼室となる」
というような事が書いてあったのを覚えています。
それでも何を燃やすのか?
さっぱりわかりません。(笑)
そもそもあんなシャッターにしろノズル?にせよ、機体のどこにしまわれていたの?て感じです。(笑)
そういえば「愛は流れる」で輝が未沙を救出に向かう時、設定資料では見たことない位置から(機体胴体の下?)もバーニア炎が出てたなあ・・・。
当時は演出優先で設定に無い機能を発揮しちゃう場面があったのかも。
(ダグラムのアール回とかがいい例で、作画班が勝手に機体の動かないはずの部品を動かしちゃったりハッチが生えたり風で乱れた髪を整える芝居を入れたり。)

これって、安っぽい言葉で天才の言葉を使ってるのではなくて
天才級の才能の方と、それに憧れてるクリエーターたちが作り上げてた
奇跡のような一時代だったんじゃないかぁ!
80年代の作画や脚本、設定等の進歩は凄まじく感じます。
