Shinji Tanimura: Subaru / Star 昴 (2010 Live, World Expo)
Subaru is the Japanese version of Pleiades (ancient Greek), the Seven Sisters (British) or 昴 mraux in Chinese.
In astronomy, the Pleiades (/ˈplaɪədiːz/ or /ˈpliːədiːz/), or Seven Sisters (Messier 45 or M45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. The celestial entity has several meanings in different cultures and traditions.
Job 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Translation:
"With my eyes closed, I see nothing
With sorrow in my heart, I open my eyes
A road heading for the wilderness
And nothing else other than what I see.
Ah , all you stars, destined to shatter into pieces
At least you can quietly shed a light on me
I'll go onwards, even if my cheeks turn pallid
I'll go onwards, bidding farewell to the stars
With every breath I have in my chest,
And the cold wind continues to howl
Even so, my heart holds the passion
To keep on pursuing my dream
Ah, all you stars, each nameless among many,
Glowing gloriously as you shatter into pieces
I'll go onwards, as my heart commands
I'll go onwards, bidding farewell to the stars
Ah, someday, someone will walk this road
Ah, someday, someone will walk this road
I'll go onwards, even if my cheeks turn pallid
I'll go onwards, bidding farewell to the stars.
I'll go onwards, bidding farewell to the stars"
