Lyrics

Game Size

Japanese

普通の毎日が何よりも満足なんだって思えた
そんな日々は今は遠い昔に感じた･･･

いつだってふたりで何処までも乗り越えてきたから
これからの私もあなたといるはずだったのに･･･

ヒカリのない夜空は 輝きかたを知らない
私の夜空には 何が輝いているだろう?
悲しみに流れてく 涙がひとつ･･･

いつだってふたりを 遮るものなんか無かった
これからの私はあなたといるはずだったのに･･･

ヒカリのない夜空は 輝くことを知った
私の夜空には一筋の流れ星が
悲しみを乗せて あの人のもとに･･･

切なく流れいく Wish on the Shooting Star･･･

Long Version

Japanese

ささやかな未来をふたりあの夜に誓った 寄り添っていたふたりは幸せに満ちてた 普通の毎日が何よりも満足なんだって思えた そんな日々は今は遠い昔に感じた･･･ いつだってふたりで何処までも乗り越えてきたから これからの私もあなたといるはずだったのに･･･ ヒカリのない夜空は 輝きかたを知らない 私の夜空には 何が輝いているだろう? 悲しみに流れてく 涙がひとつ･･･ 理解できないままひとりこの夜を過ごした･･･ 気付くといつも隣の席を 何故か空けて待ってた･･･ あなたの腕の中で愛されるの当たり前だと思ってた･･･ あの時はこんなことになるとは思いもせずに･･･ 突然訪れた あなたとの距離が広がる 今までの私を連れてってはくれないの?ねぇ? ヒカリが射す瞬間を 見逃してるとしたら 私の夜空にはもう輝きは来ないだろう 悲しみに流れてく 何もかも･･･ きっと･･･ ヒカリの射す瞬間が 本当にあるとしたら 忘れられない過去が 私の輝きだったんだろう 暗闇に流れる星のように･･･ いつだってふたりを 遮るものなんか無かった これからの私はあなたといるはずだったのに･･･ ヒカリを待つ理由は "何か"を願いたいだけ 私の夜空には輝きがくるのだろう? 静かに流れる小さな星を･･･ やっと･･･! ヒカリのない夜空は 輝くことを知った 私の夜空には一筋の流れ星が 悲しみを乗せて あの人のもとに･･･ 切なく流れいく Wish on the Shooting Star･･･

Song Production Information

NAOKI MAEDA

This is a song that was written for BeForU's first album.

I gave a demo of this song to Riyu Kosaka, who later came up with the lyrics, which I felt were very mature and realistic, something I had never seen in her lyrics before, and subsequently linked the arrangement to that world. I aimed for a sorrowful J-POP number, which is the direct opposite of LOVE SHINE.

The melody was somehow filled with melancholy, with resonating elements which deeply impact the hearts of people. When the song was completed, I repeatedly listened to it by myself and fell in love with it.

Video Production Information

F-FLY

Since the song title is SHOOTING STAR, I tried to fill this MOVIE with stars.

I'm not the type of person to carefully listen to the lyrics when listening to music.
So, I didn't think it was a heartbreak song for a while, with her "energetic" singing voice and rhythms. I'm sorry for not being a musical person.

After I properly heard the lyrics.
It turned out that's not only about heartbreak, but it has a cool and "positive" feeling!
I liked it even more.
