Game Size

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

Japanese

雲間から 零れ出してく 瞼を閉じても 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 starrry 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 いつからか わかり始めた 言葉から ふちどられてく夢が かけがえのないものに 変わること 涙の足跡(あと)に残した欠片(かけら)達を 拾い集めながら Fly away to starrry sky 何度と 願い込めた キセキのしずく 今 流れてくから 色とりどりの想い 空へ Fly away to starrry 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 Fly away to starrry sky 何度と 願い込めた キセキのしずく 今 流れてくから 色とりどりの想い 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".

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.
