I love the moon. | I love the moon. | ||
When I traveled to Europe, while flying over Siberia, there was just a perfectly round moon floating in the empty, truly empty sky.<br> | |||
It looked just like a | It looked just like a smooth and polished pearl.<br> | ||
The | The clear atmosphere above the clouds also helped draw an arc with an extremely high resolution.<br> | ||
When I stared at this shining universe, it felt like the whimsical light surrounded and healed my tired self from daily life. | |||
The images from that time are deeply etched in my eyes. | |||
Such lovely trip occurred four months after I completed this song.<br> | |||
Huh?! Oh, yeah. It was four months later. Nearly four months later.<br> | |||
The | The previous sentence was just to be cool. I'm sorry. I regret it.<br> | ||
When I created this song, I had vague thoughts such as "oh~, the moon. It's great~! [[So Fabulous !!|So fabulous!]]". | |||
Huh. That's right. It was four months later. I just extended it a bit.<br> | |||
Please don't make me say it again. | |||
Well then, thank you very much for also checking it out today. I'm obviously Seiryu. | |||
Also, person T somehow called this song "wowow".<br> | |||
I don't know why it's not abbreviated at all, so I added it. | |||
I'm obviously Sei,,, huh?! No, that's because it was four months later!<br> | |||
1cm is also entirely four months later! I'm quite angry! | |||

I was able to participate in a song which is part of the Four Heavenly Kings, so I seriously drew a dragon. Dragon motifs are very well-known in manga and TV, so many people might feel that they're commonly used.<br> | |||
But from an artist's perspective, it's unusual to find something very interesting as this.<br> | |||
It looks like a snake, but it's not a snake. It has antlers, but it's not a deer.<br> | |||
Dragons, wyverns, sea dragons... these are endless fantasies created by humans. They're very strange. | |||
And this Seiryu song is labeled in my favorite genre that I listen to, and I listened to it quite frequently while creating this video. | |||
I still can't hear what the vocals are saying in the opening.<br> | |||
It sounds like "awanao". I like this catchy song. | |||
