Background

「When I die, I wish to become a star」

Now, did that wish come true? Watching the starry sky tonight, she thinks of him from days long past.

Surely on the other side of the divine river, he waits for her.

Following the concept of its album If the World 2, the song is based on the Japanese folktale Orihime and Hikoboshi.

A widow is mourning her husband on the night of Tanabata who, before he died, wished he could become a star in his next life. The widow writes down her own wish: I want to see once more. When her time evetually becomes, she becomes a star in the sky and is reunited with until the day they both burn out a cease to be.

岸辺に佇む面影 kishibe ni tatazumu omokage
薄明かりに霞んで 見えないわ usu akari ni kasunde mienai wa
伸ばした手の その先は nobashitate no sono saki wa
果てのない闇に 溶けていく hate no nai yami ni tokete iku

星の隠れた夜に あなたを想い歌う hoshi no kakureta yoru ni anata o omoi utau
聴こえているのなら、瞬き返して…… kikoete iru no nara, mabataki kaeshite......
幾年の夜を越え 偲び歌は響く ikutose no yoru o koe shinobiu uta wa hibiku
愛しい彼の星に 祈りが届くまで itoshii ka no hoshi ni inori ga todoku made
