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

Romaji

kumoma kara kobore dashiteku
mabuta wo tojite mo afureru hikari
abite kyou mo aruiteiku kara

namida wa egao ni naru tame no tourimichi
mayoi ni tsuzukenagara

Fly away to starry sky
nando to kobore ochita
kokoro no shizuku ima hajike dashiteku
irotoridori ni somete
sora e

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".

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.
