Trivia

  • The song's title refers to two phases of the moon, "Waxing" (when it changes from new moon to full moon) and "Waning" (from full moon to new moon).
  • 青龍 is Ryu☆'s alias. This was confirmed when he played "waxing and wanding" during his set at the 2007 beatnation summit -beatmaniaIIDX premium Live- concert.
  • The video features two embodiments of Seiryuu, one being a blue dragon, and the other being a woman in kimono, resembling the woman in the video of Setsugekka (another Ryu☆ song with a GOLI video).
  • Seiryuu is a Chinese god that is a blue dragon.
  • In Akumajou Dracula X: Rondo of Blood 1 of 4 of Maria's animal friends is a dragon. The rest are a cat, turtle, and bird.
  • The song was intended to be called "waxing and waning", but was accidentally submitted as "waxing and wanding", see here.

Song Production Information

I love the moon.

Once when I was travelling to Europe, when we were flying over Siberia, the only thing floating up in an empty, and I mean truly empty, sky was a perfectly round moon. It looked just like a shimmering, perfectly round pearl. The nature of the air high in the atmosphere lent to the effect, and it traced out an arc in extremely high resolution. As I was watching this gem of the heavens and bathed in its almost mystical light, I fell into the impression that all of my everyday cares were being healed.

This image is burned deep into my retinas.

This wonderful voyage occurred four months after I finished this song.
What!? Yes, that's right. Four months after. Almost exactly.
The passage before was just making up an image. Sorry. I'll reflect on what I've done.
As I made this song, I was thinking lots of exuberant thoughts like "Oh~, the moon. It's awesome~! So fabulous!"

Yes. That's right! It was four months after. I just grew a little bit, is all.
Don't make me say it over and over again.


Well, thank you so very much for having a look again today. This has been Seiryuu, and now everything is exposed.

For some reason, T called this song "wowow".
Maybe it doesn't abbreviate very well, I just don't get it, it's just one thing after another ...

And so, with everything exposed, this is Sei ... huh? Hey, I told you, it was four months later!
Four months later, and not a centimeter more! Get serious, I'm gonna get mad!
