星が見えた夜
楠瀬誠志郎 Lyrics

The song "Hoshi ga mieta yoru" ("The Night I Saw the Stars") by Seishiro Kanesue is a romantic song that speaks about the singer's desire to protect the smile of the one he loves. The lyrics suggest that the two lovers are under a starry sky, and the singer notices that the constellations' whispering voices are fading away because they are about to cry. The singer believes that their voices are almost inaudible as the clouds could soon begin to pour down rain. He also notices that his love interest is also on the verge of tears. However, when he tries to comfort her, she tells him that she is not crying out of sadness.

The singer feels that even the tenderness in his lover's tears is painful to him. He then begins to question his ability to protect her smile, which is the reason for his existence. He laments that he is losing sight of his purpose and is frantic, wounded, and edge closer to tears himself. On the other hand, he had forgotten the names of all the constellations, and the following lines suggest that his loved one is disappointed in his naïvety.

The singer wants to regain the trust of the person he loves and prevent her from ever crying again. He promises to pursue his dreams while also keeping his promise to her. The ominous clouds that were earlier threatening to release rains have now cleared, and the stars are visible once again. The last line of the song implies that the constellations are once more visible to the singer, probably because he has regained his focus.
