Lyrics

Japanese

雲間からこぼれ出してく 
まぶたを閉じても  溢れる光 
浴びて　今日も歩いていくから 

涙は笑顔になるための通り道 
迷い続けながら 

Fly away to starry sky 
何度と  零れ落ちた 
心のしずく　今　弾け出してく 
色とりどりに  染めて
空へ

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

To me, the word SIRIUS evokes the image of "the brightest star in the sky" and I decided to create a song based on that.
I don't even feel an imitation would do it justice.
Music of this kind would be considered to be "Twinkle Sound".

Video Production Information

Masashi Komino

This is my first time creating a video, and I had a good experience.
I think that the intro scene is impressive.
If someone else is playing the song, please come and watch.
