Planetarium
I want to widen this small room, the thought occured to me like a flash
I completed it the very next day, a handmade planetarium
The instructions for building it were written in a science textbook
I opened an imaginary hole and gave it a shy name
It was shining so hard as if it were to disappear
I stretched out my hand to see if I could touch it
I'm the only one who knows
The name of the brightest star
The ceiling and wall went away, replaced by outer space spreading out
I obtained everything without opening the window even once
Only in the corner of this small room can you find this star
Without wounding or getting hurt, I've finally caught you
The close space drew far away
And I gave up on trying to reach it
But when I stood on tiptoe I was surprised that I easily
Could reach it after all
Of course I should stop
It's obvious, but I finally really got through
This star is not you, it's just my dream
This light does not actually reach you
But it doesn't disappear on me either
I open the window of this small room, look up, and reality spins about
My heart that searches for an imaginary star is this planetarium
It was shining so hard as if it were to disappear, but would not disappear
It was so close that I could cry, but I could not reach it
Even if I cannot see you, you're shining
I try to reach you, and call your name
I'm the only one who knows of
The tears of the brightest star
It was shining so hard as if it were to disappear
I stretched out my hand to see if I could touch it
I'm the only one who knows
The name of the brightest star
I will find you one day, because wherever you are
Only I know
Only I can see you

JAPANESE
プラネタリウム
四畳半を広げたくて 閃いてからは速かった
次の日には 出来上がった 手作りプラネタリウム
科学の本に書いてあった 作り方の他にアレンジ
実在しない穴を開けて 恥ずかしい名前付けた
消えそうなくらい輝いてて
触れようと手を伸ばしてみた
一番眩しい あの星の名前は
僕しか知らない
天井も壁も無くなって 代わりに宇宙を敷き詰めて
窓は一度も開けないままで 全てを手に入れた
四畳半の片隅には ここにしか無い星がある
傷付かず 傷付けないままで 君をついに閉じ込めた
近付いた 分遠ざけてて
触れる事は 諦めてた
背伸びしたら驚く程容易く
触れてしまった
やめとけば良かった
当たり前だけど 本当に届いてしまった
この星は君じゃない 僕の夢
本当に届くわけ無い光
でも消えてくれない光
四畳半の窓を開けて 見上げれば現実が巡る
実在しない星を 探す心が プラネタリウム
消えそうなくらい 輝いてて 消えてくれなくて
泣きそうなくらい 近付いてて 届かなくて
見えなくても 輝いてて
触れようと 君の名前を呼ぶ
一番眩しい あの星の涙は
僕しか知らない
消えそうなくらい輝いてて
触れようと 手を伸ばしてみた
一番眩しい あの星の名前は
僕しか知らない
いつだって見付けるよ 君の場所は
僕しか知らない
僕しか見えない

OPINION
This is one of BUMP's many beautiful space-themed songs. It's also got light imagery again. :D What I translated as "small room" in the original Japanese is "4.5 tatami mat room." It's a pretty little room, and the reason it was articulated in the original lyrics was to show that the speaker is closed into a tiny space... so I just called it "small room" to make it simple. Wikipedia says tatami mat sizes differ by region, but the room from the song is probably around 2.73 meters long and wide, or nine feet by nine feet.
