Star*Synth
English
A soul’s sparkling light waits in the night.
A little flame, wandering far,
to the very edge of memory’s streams.
Through forests of whispers,
over stones of belief,
past temples of time—
it is ready to ignite.
Like a star across the sky,
so bright it blinds,
it melts into burning flame.
“Here falls a shooting star from above.
It carries light, hope,
the words of gods.
Lux aeterna renascentis vitae.”
中文
星之所向，我心之所向。
自黑暗中劃空而墜，
灼灼星火，點燃虛空。
往日回憶化作灰燼，
孕育此生嶄新的際遇。
刺痛、灼燒、撕裂——
不安、痛苦、窒息。
這是一場無聲的降落，
卻在胸腔轟鳴如雷。
光亮之後，
雨水隨至。
我亦墜落於新生，
心之所向。
日本語
ほしいのは 何ですか。
星は そう思った。
この目で 見たい。
この手で 感じたい。
この心で 燃え尽きたい。
星のように 光を放ち、
高い空へ 飛んでゆく。
Description
StarSynth is the story of a little star, waiting and preparing to be born into human life. It is a journey before and after life, a realm where spirits gather and thrive. Told through mythical, fairy-tale imagery, the work is not meant only for children but for anyone drawn to wonder and transformation. I envision StarSynth as a world that may unfold in many forms—video game, graphic novel, animation, original music, and beyond. It is only the beginning, and I am curious to see how far this star will carry me.
