Stellar Stellar

Hoshimachi Suisei's 'Stellar Stellar' is a profound exploration of self-identity and the journey towards self-realization. The song opens with the declaration, 'だって僕は星だから' (Because I am a star), setting the stage for a narrative that intertwines celestial imagery with personal growth. Suisei uses the metaphor of a star to represent her own aspirations and the inner light that guides her through the darkness. This celestial metaphor is not just about shining brightly but also about the inherent struggles and the walls that need to be broken down to truly shine.

The lyrics delve into the internal conflict and the unspoken words that have been held back, symbolized by the '壊せない壁' (unbreakable wall). The morning scent that is 'どうしようもなく憎らしくて' (unbearably hateful) represents the mundane reality that contrasts with her dreams. Suisei's desire to remain in the night, where she can sing and shine, reflects a longing to stay in a space where her true self can be expressed without the harsh light of day exposing her vulnerabilities.

A significant theme in 'Stellar Stellar' is the rejection of passive roles. Suisei declares that she does not want to be a waiting Cinderella but rather the prince who takes action. This shift from a passive to an active role underscores her determination to shape her destiny. The repeated refrain of '僕は夜を歌うよ' (I will sing of the night) and '僕は愛を歌うよ' (I will sing of love) emphasizes her commitment to expressing her true self through music, regardless of the challenges. The song is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment, urging listeners to embrace their inner light and take control of their narrative, just as Suisei does.
