Lovely nursery rhymes, folk songs, and children's songs

Masterpieces that sing of the stars. Star songs that resonate in the heart, best heard beneath the night sky.

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.
POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Since ancient times, people have gazed up at the night sky filled with stars, letting constellations stir countless thoughts and feelings.

From among the many classic songs perfect for a starry night, here are selections themed around stars or related to them.

Alongside romantic and love songs, there are also tracks that evoke bonds and connections in a broader sense.

Whether you’re looking for songs that suit the night, want to find tracks that mention constellations, or need star-themed tunes everyone can enjoy, these are for you.

Be sure to relax and listen while you gaze at the starry sky.

Stars on EarthMiyuki Nakajima

Stars on the Ground / Miyuki Nakajima [Official]

Chijō no Hoshi by Miyuki Nakajima

The lyrics are outstanding, blending vast cosmic and mythological realms with natural phenomena and everyday scenes on Earth.

From a perspective as if gazing down from space, they sharply critique the state of the world and sound a warning to the stars below, yet depict it all poetically without becoming preachy.

Star Poem MILLEA

If you’re looking for a soothing, encouraging star-themed song, I recommend “Hoshi no Uta” (“Poem of the Stars”).

It’s a track from the album of the same name released in 2016 by Mireia, a Sapporo-born singer who debuted in 2015.

This beautiful number is a collaboration featuring the starry sky of Achi Village in Nagano—often called the best stargazing spot in Japan—and the shadow play troupe Kakashiza.

Be sure to watch the visuals as you listen.

Mirei’s warm, embracing vocals and lyrics will gently ease feelings of longing and hardship.

Starry NightLily Note

Starlit Night (Re:struction) MV / Lily Note

Starlit Night Lily Note

This song reminds us anew that the most precious moments are packed into ordinary everyday life.

Using the image of looking at the stars together as a point of comparison, it portrays the differences between how men and women think, while depicting a man’s pure-hearted nature moved by a casual remark.

The four-on-the-floor rhythm feels great.
