Description
After the bell rings for recess, there is always a moment when your heart races faster than your legs, just to get to the one who shines brighter than any streetlight. A funny rush, clumsily hiding true feelings: it seems like just a casual touch on the shoulder, but your skin burns as if from a sunburn.
The world around becomes space: bicycles turn into rockets, the schoolyard into orbit, and someone's embarrassed “I like you” sounds louder than any radio signal. I want to connect distant stars into one picture, as if it were possible to connect the future and the present in the same way.
And all this shines so unbearably beautifully that even doubts fade away. Even if it is impossible to catch up with the light, your hand still reaches for it - as if for a promise that there are endless “stellar days” ahead.
Lyrics and translation
Original
放課後 宇宙の片隅で
一番 輝く星を見つけた
下校時間のチャイムが
鳴り止む前に駆け降りた
1秒でも早く会いたくて
本当の気持ち 隠してさ
ふざけて 触れた肩が熱いよ
大人びた瞳に ねぇ 何が映ってるの
訊けないまま 空を見上げてた
Stellar days
この銀河を照らすのは
過去も現在も未来も 君の光だ
好きになってよ 好きでいていいの？
遠く遙か それでも 手を伸ばすよ
夜空にペダル踏み込んで
君と星座を渡っていく
結べるはずのない星をつなぎ合えたなら
新しい僕らも描けるかな
Stellar days
その笑顔はズルいよ
あきらめようとしても 追いかけてしまうんだ
胸の痛みも 惑う願いも
すべてが ほら かすむくらい きらめいてる
Stellar days
この銀河を照らすのは
過去も現在も未来も 君の光だ
好きになってよ 好きでいていいの？
遠く遙か それでも 手を伸ばすよ
光に手を伸ばすよ
English translation
After school in a corner of the universe
I found the brightest star
The chime of school time
I ran down before the ringing stopped.
I want to meet you as soon as possible even for a second
Hide your true feelings
The shoulder I playfully touched feels hot
Hey, what's reflected in your mature eyes?
I looked up at the sky without being able to ask anything.
Stellar days
What lights up this galaxy
The past, present, and future are your light.
Please fall in love with me. Is it okay to love you?
Even though it's far away, I'll reach out my hand
Step on the pedal to the night sky
I'll cross the constellations with you
If I could connect stars that shouldn't be able to connect
I wonder if I can draw the new us too?
Stellar days
That smile is cheating
Even if I try to give up, I'll keep chasing you
The pain in my chest and my confusing wishes
Everything is so sparkling it's almost blurry
Stellar days
What lights up this galaxy
The past, present, and future are your light.
Please fall in love with me. Is it okay to love you?
Even though it's far away, I'll reach out my hand
I'll reach for the light
