Lyrics

Game Size

Once upon a time, there was a little young boy
He was walking, along the road like stranger
Dreaming one day he'd be a big man
He'll keep trying, try and reach for the sky

He gets lost the more that he tries, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
'Cause the babies cry when there's few to feed the world

He gets lost the more that he tries, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
'Cause a woman's still up safe when she's filled with love

Long Version

Endless nights
Will almost fade away
Whole new sky
I'm ready to go higher

In your universe
I sparkle
You hve shown me
what it means to be

♡  I'm a prince on a star
   that only shines
   when you look at me
   I hope you notice my light
   Cuz for you I burn my soul

You reflect like a mirror
The good inside me
Am I worth to do
The same for you?

Now I stand
On top of my fate
Just to street it
Towards wherever you are


♡♡ I'm a prince on a star
   As long as you
   Make me be one
   It's your call to overthrow me
   But princess
   You're too sweet for that

If I see you
Drown in darkness
I will flash
To burn the shadows away

♡refrain
♡♡refrain

Princess Whispers

Japanese

なんだか切ない夜には
そばにいて 髪を撫でながら

まっさらな空に
二人の星座 描くの

なぜだか眠れぬ夜には
聞かせてよ 夢物語を

ヒツジを数えて
朝陽 迎えないように

どんなお願いも
どうか叶えてね
でなきゃ魔法かけて
月に帰るわ

きらめく流れ星にだって
いつの日か終わりってくるのかな?

あなたの瞳が
答えを映し出してる

"いつも いつの日も
僕がいる限り
君を照らすのさ
誰より強く"

気付いているのよ
あなたは星の王子さま

何億光年も越えて
逢いに来て
光のスピードで
雲を突き抜け

この広い宇宙で
二人ここにいる
あの日出逢ったのは
運命なのね

Song Production Information

beatmania

This alternative rock song is another crossover from IIDX.
Playing 2P on this song is like playing in a band, so get together with someone and give it a try.

DanceDanceRevolution

This is a refreshing UK pop soul song which feels appropiate in the UK dance charts.
The clear vocals, refreshing and simple distorted guitars, create an extremely nice British rock sound complemented by a mute guitar-styled chorus, and various acid analog sounds.

Video Production Information

It's almost embarrassing how romantic I ended up making the video.
10 out of 10 people thought that it was a girl in the above background... I intended for it to be a boy.
I had this weird determination to make the prince have a bob haircut.
Feel free to try and imagine your own unique story by cobbling the various pieces of art together.
For example, what if the wolf boy that appears mid-song is actually the prince?
