The Nighthawk Star (in Japanese よだかの星, Yodaka no Hoshi) is the first song on the anniversary maxi Vanishing Starlight. It is a rock song sung by Noël from VANISHING STARLIGHT, inspired by Miyazawa Kenji's story Yodaka no HoshiThe Nighthawk Star.

Lyrics

Kanashimi ni oitsukarenu you massugu ni sora wo mezasu yo
Kinou nante furikiru [SUPIIDO] de
Nanno tame ni utatteru no? Nanno tame ni hashittekita?
[Hoshi] wo nokosou.......

Yoru no tobari... oriru kishibe de... hitori yoiyami... hoshi wo miteita...
Doko e itte mo... itanda to hajikare... kireta kuchibiru... kaze ga shimiru...

No more rage... No more grief...
Nikushimi no nai risou no sekai wo omoi egakedo mo...
Nozomarete yattekita sono konkyosae mo naku...
Love me do... Love me do...
Sakebi tsuzuketa...

Kanashimi ni oitsukarenu you massugu ni sora wo mezasu yo
Namida nante furikiru [SUPIIDO] de
Nanno tame ni ikiteiru no? Nanno tame ni umaretekita?
[Hoshi] wo sagasou......

Sono kaze ni kogoeteru no wa... chi wo nagasu garasu zaiku...
Mushiro ori no naka furueteru no wa... usotsuki na omae no kage...

Da ka ra

[Kanashimi] ni oitsukarenu you massugu ni [sora] wo mezasu yo
[Kinou] nante furikiru [SUPIIDO] de
Nanno tame ni utatteru no? Nanno tame ni hashittekita?
[Hoshi] wo nokosou......

Yagate kasoku suru shiroi toiki... kirameku hana ni nari...
Kudakete wa mune wo sasu... soredemo...

Mureta yatsura ga uwasa suru akui no kaze ni sarasare yodaka wa tada kake noboru

Shinde mo ii ikiteru nara moeteyare!
I’ll aim straight for the skies to outrun my sadness

With a <speed> that’ll leave yesterday in the dust
For what am I singing? For what have I come this far?
I’ll leave behind <the proof of my life engulfed in fire>[a star]...

By the shore...upon which the curtains of night falls...I watched the stars...alone in dusk...
No matter where I go...I was treated as an unwelcome outsider...my lips cut...the wind sends chills through me...

No more rage... No more grief...
Even if I envision an ideal world devoid of hatred...
I have no evidence of my arrival being desired...
Love me do.... Love me do...
I continued to shout...

I’ll aim straight for the skies to outrun my sadness
With a <speed> that’ll leave my tears in the dust
For what am I living? For what was I born?
I’ll search for <a place to consume my life in fire>[a star]...

Frozen in that gust of wind…is a bleeding piece of glassware...
Shaking in that cage…is the shadow of my lying <self>[you]...

So

I’ll aim straight for <my ideals>[the skies] to outrun <reality>[my sadness]
With the <maximum speed> that’ll leave <my past self, anxious and unrestful>[yesterday] in the dust
For what am I bursting into song? For what have I rushed forth? I’ll pass down <the proof of my life utterly consumed in fire>[a star]...

My pale breaths come out faster and faster...transforming into a glorious flower...
It shatters and pierces my heart...but even then...

Though exposed to the winds of malice, spread by the masses, the nighthawk soars on higher and higher
I don’t care if I die....since I’m living, so I’ll burn till the very end!
