Virtual Star Hasseigaku

The song 'Virtual Star Hasseigaku' by Revolutionary Girl Utena is a poetic and philosophical exploration of existence, growth, and the interconnectedness of the universe. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery that evoke a sense of cosmic wonder and introspection. The song begins with references to isolation in a desert and the fundamental elements of air and atoms, suggesting a journey from the most basic components of life to a more complex understanding of existence.

The repeated mention of 'tochi no ko' (child of the land) and 'tetsugaku no taiji' (philosophical fetus) indicates a process of growth and development, both physically and intellectually. This growth is further emphasized with the transition from 'tamago' (egg) to 'seichou' (growth) and 'tetsugaku no kodomo' (philosophical child). The imagery of seeds and reproductive elements ('oshibe, meshibe') symbolizes the potential for new life and ideas, highlighting the cyclical nature of existence.

The song then shifts to a cosmic scale, listing celestial bodies such as the moon, planets, and stars, which represent the vast and infinite nature of the universe. The repetition of 'saranaru enkan mugen ni hatenaki' (further endless circles) underscores the idea of perpetual motion and the eternal cycle of life. The 'yuuki teki na kikan' (courageous organ) and 'eikyuu undou souchi' (eternal motion device) suggest that life and the universe are driven by an inherent force or energy. The song concludes with a sense of awe and reverence for the continuous movement and interconnectedness of all things, encapsulated in the phrase 'aa kudou nari, sora, kudou nari' (ah, it moves, the sky, it moves).
