=== Seiryu ===
I love the moon.


==Trivia==
Once when I was travelling to Europe, when we were flying over Siberia, the only thing floating up in an empty, and I mean truly empty, sky was a perfectly round moon.<br>
It looked just like a shimmering, perfectly round pearl.<br>
The nature of the air high in the atmosphere lent to the effect, and it traced out an arc in extremely high resolution.<br>
As I was watching this gem of the heavens and bathed in its almost mystical light, I fell into the impression that all of my everyday cares were being healed.


* The song's title refers to two phases of the moon, "Waxing" (when it changes from new moon to full moon) and "Waning" (from full moon to new moon).
This image is burned deep into my retinas.
* Seiryuu is [[Ryutaro_Nakahara|Ryu☆]]'s alias.  This was confirmed when he played "waxing and wanding" during his set at the 2007 beatnation summit -beatmaniaIIDX premium Live- concert.
* The video features two embodiments of Seiryuu, one being a blue dragon, and the other being a woman in kimono, resembling the woman in the video of [[Setsugekka]] (another [[Ryutaro_Nakahara|Ryu☆]] song with a [[GOLI]] video).
* Seiryuu is a Chinese god that is a green dragon.
* In Akumajou Dracula X: Rondo of Blood 1 of 4 of Maria's animal friends is a dragon. The rest are a cat, turtle, and bird.

As I made this song, I was thinking lots of exuberant thoughts like "Oh~, the moon. It's awesome~! So fabulous!"
 
Yes. That's right! It was four months after. I just grew a little bit, is all.<br>
Don't make me say it over and over again.
