Asterisk Lyrics
Japanese= 見上げた夜空の星達の光 の思い願いが時代を超え　色あせるコトなく届く キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び 風に想いを　月に願いを　力ある限り生きてくんだ　今日も 僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に　光り続けよう　あの星のように

一つ二つ鐘の音は響く　心の中へ広く深く 物語のような星の雫　その中に細い線路を築く 時間とともに時代は動く　流れる星は静かに動く 目を閉じて耳をすませば　Good Bye

大空いっぱいの白黒写真　なびくマフラー　白い息 少しでも近づきたくて　あの高台まで駆け足で 重たい望遠鏡取り出すと　レンズはみだしたスターダスト 時間を奪われた時間　時代を越えてくるロマン

放て光　負けずにしっかり今　時を越え誰かに届くまで 栄光の光はこの向こうにキミたちとつくっていくストーリー

見上げた夜空の星達の光 の思い願いが時代を超え　色あせるコトなく届く キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び 風に想いを　月に願いを　力ある限り生きてくんだ　今日も 僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に　光り続けよう　あの星のように

産声上げた　小さな光　大きな光　時空を超え出逢い すべての輝きがひとつとなり　作り出す物語 点と点を結ぶ星座のように　誰かにとって　僕らもきれいな絵　描けてたらいいね 見上げてごらんよ　ほら　冬のダイヤモンド ゆるやかな天の川　すぐ勇気取り戻せるから

放て光　負けずにしっかり今　時を越え誰かに届くまで 栄光の光はこの向こうにキミたちとつくっていくストーリー

見上げた夜空の星達の光 の思い願いが時代を超え　色あせるコトなく届く キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び 風に想いを　月に願いを　力ある限り生きてくんだ　今日も 僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に　光り続けよう　あの星のように

この空は一つ　どこまでも広く そう　海の向こう　今生まれる息吹　絶たれる命 星は照らす　女神のごとく 長く続く　繰り返す　春夏秋冬の 一瞬でもいい　少しでいい　思いを刻む ただ果てなく　時を越え　輝きだす

物語は心の中で続いている あの日の君はいつか夜汽車に乗って

見上げた夜空の星達の光 の思い願いが時代を超え　色あせるコトなく届く キラリ瞳に映る誰かの叫び 風に想いを　月に願いを　力ある限り生きてくんだ　今日も 見上げた夜空の星達の光 の思い願いが時代を超え　色あせるコトなく届く 僕らの想いもいつか誰かの胸に　光り続けよう　あの星のように

Hikari tsudzukeyou ano hoshi no you ni English= Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above Send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star

1, 2, and so the bells echo, spreading far and wide in the depths of my heart A legendary stardrop, inside it, there's so many narrow paths etched out With time, the ages pass; a shooting star passes without a sound Close your eyes and listen hard, maybe you'll hear a "Goodbye"

A black and white photo of the entire sky, a rumbling muffler - white breath Just wanna get a little closer, I'll race to the high ground up there Taking out my huge telescope, out of the lens came stardust Time after time, an epic from across the ages

Now that the light is released, surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone The light of glory is right across the way, it's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above Send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star

With my birth cry, a small light and a great light met across space and time Their shine became one, to begin a new story Like a constellation that connects the dots, why shouldn't we create a lovely painting for someone? Take a look above you; see, it's a winter diamond This slow-moving galaxy, soon enough, will give you your courage back

Now that the light is released, surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone The light of glory is right across the way, it's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above Send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star

This sky is the only one there is; it spreads over all. And beyond the sea, right now, new life takes breath, and life is cut off While stars shine on, like goddesses Continuing a long journey, or starting anew; in spring, summer, fall and winter Even a second is enough, just a moment is enough, To engrave my thoughts, to shine without end across the ages

The story goes on in the heart The "you" of that day takes a night train

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above Send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above Send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star
