星織り唄 (Hoshiori Uta)

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 galaxy, he is waiting for her. "Star-Weaving Song" is an original song by Hitoshizuku-P and Yama△.

A widow (Rin) is mourning her husband (Len) 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 you once more". When her time eventually comes, she becomes a star in the sky and is reunited with her husband until the day they both burn out and cease to be.

Following the concept of its album If the World 2, the song is based on the Japanese folktale Orihime and Hikoboshi, a Japanese variation of the Sinosphere folktale The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

This song has entered the Hall of Fame.
