When it’s you and me, we can create a wonderful world even wider than the universe! It’s a song that celebrates and delights, from the bottom of the heart, in marrying you.

A marriage where you meet someone who is so happy to be together with you—isn’t that wonderful?

Hooking constellations onto my eyelashes

It’s a gentle message song from a father to his son.

Are they taking a walk together under a night sky where the constellations shine, or opening the curtains to gaze at them? The image of the father tenderly embracing his little boy, who happily chatters using the words he’s just learned, is truly wonderful.
