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

kumoma kara kobore dashiteku
mabuta wo tojite mo afureru hikari

namida wa egao ni naru tame no tourimichi

Fly away to starry sky
nando to kobore ochita
kokoro no shizuku ima hajike dashiteku

Long Version

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".


Kanako Hoshino

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.
