STARDUST PROMISE (Starlight Serenade Theme)

[Intro – Akari] "Close your eyes… can you hear it?" "The sound of our dreams calling us forward." [Verse 1 – Mei & Natsumi] Step by step, we climbed so high, Reaching for the endless sky. Every tear, every sleepless night, Led us here, into the light. [Pre-Chorus – Akari] (Oh, don’t stop, don’t stop!)—the stars are shining bright, (Oh, just trust, just trust!)—we’re standing in the light! No more fear, no looking back, Take my hand, stay on this track! [Chorus – All] Stardust promise, we won’t fade away! Every dream we chase will light the way! Hearts beat loud, the stage is ours, We’re shining brighter than the stars! [Verse 2 – Natsumi & Mei] We were told to play it safe, To fit inside a perfect shape. But we chose to chase the spark, Even when the nights were dark. [Pre-Chorus – Akari] (Oh, don’t stop, don’t stop!)—the stars are shining bright, (Oh, just trust, just trust!)—we’re standing in the light! No more fear, no looking back, Take my hand, stay on this track! [Chorus – All] Stardust promise, we won’t fade away! Every dream we chase will light the way! Hearts beat loud, the stage is ours, We’re shining brighter than the stars! [Bridge – Mei] Even if the world forgets our name… (soft, emotional) Even if the stars begin to fade… We will keep this dream alive— Side by side, we’ll rise and shine! [Final Chorus – All] Stardust promise, we won’t fade away! Every dream we chase will light the way! Hearts beat loud, the stage is ours, We’re shining brighter than the stars! [Outro – Akari] "As long as someone hears our song…" "We’ll keep shining forever."
