Lyrics
I can hear the voice to call me I must not think who's voice now I can hear the voice to call me I must not think who's voice now, yeah... where is here? where is there? who's voice? who call? a forced laugh, a forced smile feigned weeping, a downright lie hypocrisy, duty people is born to them a forced laugh, a forced smile feigned weeping, a downright lie hypocrisy, duty people is born to them Hey I can keep on dreaming in a dream So I know it's stupid to know the truth Hey I can keep on dreaming in a dream So I stopped to think about it...

Song Production Information
TOMOSUKE
ASTRAL VOYAGE translates to "astral travel".
There's a rumor that human babies and cats travel to a different world than the real world while sleeping or dreaming.
In particular, cats appear in their true form while on an astral voyage to this spiritual world, so they're indifferent to the real world. What does that world feel like?
It's probably a world that people, who seek the meaning of things or are stuck on a fixed mindset, won't understand.
This song's theme is "when you're dreaming".
I created it with a drifting feeling deep within my heart, while thinking about a voyage.
It feels exactly like traveling through outer space, where various stars shine.
As the universe has various stars and galaxies, I wonder if each person has various abstract metaphors drifting within the depths of their hearts.

This is a very cute-styled song, and the word DREAM in DREAM TECHNO perfectly suits it... so I used a MOVIE filled with stars with the image of DREAM. I tried to express this dreamy feeling with a patterned design.
Do cats ↑ have such romantic dreams?... That's wonderful
My dog (pug/JOJO) also seems to dream.
But, hmmm~. Murmuring. So to say.
He dreams of feeling satisfied while eating until his stomach is full. How shameful
