Lyrics

High above me in the realm of darkness
You come in sight whimsically
In your fullness or in your faintness
Only you have total control

Causing high tides in the mother ocean
You do the same in my bloodstream
Turning every man into a werewolf
You enjoy it, you're my MOONSTER

Step into my life as if you're makin' all the rules
to rule me
Shining from the heavens when you feel like
showing that you're free
Shadowing the little stars who envy you for
what you are
And sending out the message you are queen of
darkness till afar
Shake it, take it, make it, break it, quake it,
Tease me, please me, appease me, release me
Normally I don't allow this stuff but
As for you Miss MOONSTER, anything goes....

Now you can shed some light on me
Maybe I deserve a chance
If you show the way
I can fly up to where you smile

So if you shed more light on me
You will get to see me clear

If you lead the way
I won't ever be so lost

Song Production Information

Marsha

Nice to meet you, I'm Marsha♪
Actually, this was my first time recording a song. It's been my dream to seriously record my songs and give them a proper form.
When I was first given this song by the composer kobo, it somewhat felt futuristic. So, I said "wow".
Furthermore, I could immediately imagine people dancing to this song.
That's why I didn't really worry about how I could sing it.
When I went to the U.S., I saw a certain man dancing in DDR very well, and I imagined everyone doing a Cool dance to this song while singing it.
For the melody, it's somehow all exciting (laughs), but the rap and interlude in this entire song is very cool!
If I was a dancer, I'd show off in this section quite a lot. That's why I want everyone to become dancers and dance to this song from head to toe.

Scotty D.

When I received a request to write the lyrics and listened to this song for the first time, I first imagined a midnight sky.
Of course, the MOON is the lead role of the night sky. The moon is like a woman, and I wrote the lyrics about a HELPLESS man's feelings, who was at the mercy of a seductive woman who confuses him by transforming into a crescent, half, and full moon.
Actually, it's said that there are many crimes on a night of a full moon, which also turns an ordinary man into a werewolf.
This song's title is the only resistance of a man enjoying and regretting his helplessness against such an absolute and mysterious power.
In English, "...STER" means "... idiot" and "... damned", so this man is saying "you moon-like idiot!" to the woman taking advantage of him.
But since he loves that woman after all, such small resistance also has zero effect （＾＾

kobo

I suddenly thought of an image of a Cool, mature woman, and the night sky, and created this song.
I was also surprised, but it seems that image was also conveyed to the lyricist Scotty D. without words, and then! He completed the lyrics.
Marsha's sharp singing voice is speedy, blends in with the song's atmosphere, and brings out a night sense even more.
