==Song Connections/Remixes==
== Song Production Information ==
=== L.E.D. ===
The appeal of EPIC TRANCE is its melodious and catchy melodies, or the uplifting feeling created through its sweet melodic vocals and upper-style tracks. In "THE SHINING POLARIS", Sana's dreamy vocals, well-known as the "Diva of KONAMI music games!" who has performed in many [[BEMANI]] songs, are matched with the track completing a "crying TRANCE".


*A long version of this song appears on Sana's album, Sana-mode.
== CS Information Data ==
*A remix of this song by [[Kosuke Saito|kors k]] appears on the L.E.D. album ''denjin k'' and on [[AC EMPRESS]].
=== DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution- / DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution- ===
"THE SHINING POLARIS" by L.E.D. feat Sana is an excellent trance song. If you love trance music, "THE SHINING POLARIS" is packed with beautiful vocals, uplifting melodies and an awesome atmospheric build-up/breakdown.

I feel as if I've heard it somewhere before in L.E.D.'s world, but the phrases of this "crying trance" (according to L.E.D.) powerfully strike a chord in your heart, don't they?<br>

Then, when combined with the title of another L.E.D. new song, "[[THE BIG VOYAGER -INFINITE PRAYER REINTERPRETATION-|THE BIG VOYAGER]]", which means "The Adventurer", it seems that L.E.D. was trying to convey BEMANI players the idea of "something" with this new song, right?

Game Size

English

I lost my way in the dark
I seek it, but I see it nowhere
Then I see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

The shining starlight

(The shining starlight)

I lost my way in the dark
I seek it but I see it nowhere
Then I just see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

Long Version

Original

I’m walking down the street in the night
How many nights have I been wandering?
Feel no more loneliness, still less their tenderness
It seems to be flat and boring

I’ll go anywhere, I don’t care to lose everything
All I wanna know is the reason why I’m me
So tell me where to go, give me the power, let me go
Now close my eyes and listen carefully

I lost my way in the dark
I seek it but I see it nowhere
Then I just see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

夜の静寂を抜け　彷徨える魂は
行き場のない　ぬくもりもない
かりそめの幻

失うものは何もなくて
消滅に憧れる夜
瞳とじて　胸とき澄ませば
星が光を放つ

生けるものすべて迷う　この世界を
照らしだして　polarstar
希望という名の光が絶えないように
導いて　はるか遠く
The shining starlight

目を逸らしてばかりいた
傷つくのが怖かった
乾いた風を集めて
真実をつかみたくて

So tell me where to go, give me the power, let me go
Now close my eyes and listen carefully

I found my in the light
Believe it, I can go anywhere
Now I just see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light
The shining starlight
