Background[]
This song was uploaded to Niconico on January 30, 2009. It is otetsu's most famous song, with over 1 million views on Niconico Video, therefore entering the Hall of Legend; uploaded on January 30, 2009, the day Luka was released. The lyrics are hard to understand. One theory is that it is a sad love story involving two close friends in a deteriorating relationship during their high school years as a new person (Megurine Luka) enters their lives (Based on the 2015 novel). Another is that Luka is sketching and painting stars and fantasies in the black canvas and the night sky where she is living in her own world (Utopia). As well as hearing an comforting a crying angel as it is her "corrupted melody." These fantasies become real for her too as she now can't flee from anything or let anything get away from her in reality.

| Japanese (日本語歌詞) | Romaji (ローマ字) |
|---|---|
| 今日も夜空に浮かべた非現実の中 | kyou mo yozora ni ukabeta higenjitsu no naka |
| 真っ黒なキャンバスに星を描く | makkuro na kyanbasu ni hoshi o egaku |
| 静寂、巡る本能と縋るべき何か | seijaku, meguru honnou to sugaru beki nanika |
| また響き渡る天使の叫び | mata hibikiwataru tenshi no sakebi |
| 奏でる悲鳴は背徳の調べ | kanaderu himei wa haitoku no shirabe |
| (儚く 散りゆく 世界で) | (hakanaku chiri yuku sekai de) |
| 綺麗な星空を切り裂いて降らせた涙 | kirei na hoshizora o kirisaite furaseta namida |
| 舞い踊る星屑眺めた夜は まだ笑ってた | mai-odoru hoshikuzu nagameta yoru wa mada waratteta |
| 泣いていた 息をしていた | naite ita iki o shite ita |
| 静寂、流れる時間と守るべき何か | seijaku, nagareru jikan to mamoru beki nanika |
| 映り込んだ不安と歪な月 | utsuri konda fuan to ibitsu na tsuki |
| 描いた希望は無彩色の花 | egaita kibou wa musaishoku no hana |
| (儚く 散りゆく 世界で) | (hakanaku chiri yuku sekai de) |
| 届かぬ星空見上げて | todokanu hoshizora miagete |
| 零れてしまいそうな星屑 | koborete shimaisou na hoshikuzu |
| 消えてしまわぬように守ってた | kiete shimawanu you ni mamotteta |
| 願ってた 幸せだった | negatteta shiawase datta |
| もしも空が剥がれ落ちても | moshi mo sora ga hagare ochite mo |
| 何度でも塗り潰せるから | nando demo nuritsubuseru kara |
| この螺旋の中 | kono rasen no naka |
| 奏でる悲鳴は背徳の調べ | kanaderu himei wa haitoku no shirabe |
| (儚く 散りゆく 世界で) | (hakanaku chiri yuku sekai de) |
| 綺麗な星空を切り裂いて降らせた涙 | kirei na hoshizora wo kirisaite furaseta namida |
| 輝いた想い | kagayaita omoi |
| 舞い踊る星屑描いたこの理想郷で | mai odoru hoshikuzu egaita kono machi de |
| 笑ってる 泣いている 生きている | waratteru naite iru ikite iru |
| 今日もまた夜空に描いた非現実 | kyou mo mata yozora ni egaita higenjitsu |
| 何もかも逃れようのない現実 | nani mo ka mo nogareyou no nai genjitsu |
In no real world I floated
to the night sky
I also drew stars
on the black canvas today
The quietness
the instinct not controlled
and something I should rely on
I heard the angel crying
Her voice rang out in the sky
Her cry was immoral melody
She dusted her tears
over the beautiful
starry sky
Dancing star dust
I looked over in the night
Still I was laughing
I was crying
I was breathing
The quietness
time going on and
something I should shelter
Reflected anxicty
and deformed moon
The hope I drew was
no color flower
I looked up the atarry sky
I could not reach
The star dust was likely to fall
I was sheltering
for it not to disappear
I was sheltering
I was hoping
I was so happy
If the sky lost its color
again one day
I could paint over
the sky again and again
In this spiral
Her cry was immoral melody
she dusted her tears
over the beautiful starry sky
Hope was so brilliant
In this utopia I also
drea dancing star dust today
I am laughing
I am crying
I am alive
In the night sky
I also draw my dream today
In this real world
I can't avoid everything
