De 7th night of july

The star festival (Tanabata) takes place on July 7. On this day two stars (Altair and Vega) that are usually separated from each other by the milky way, come together. In the night of July 7, people put little bamboo trees in their garden. They also hang papers with wishes written on it on that tree in the hope they become true.
Tanabata, also known as the "star festival", takes place on the 7th day of the 7th month of the year, when, according to a Chinese legend, the two stars Altair and Vega, which are usually separated from each other by the milky way, are able to meet.
Because the 7th month of the year roughly coincides with August rather than July according to the formerly used lunar calendar, Tanabata is still celebrated on August 7th in some regions of Japan, while it is celebrated on July 7th in other regions.
With the year 1873, the Gregorian calendar was introduced to Japan. While the Christian way of numbering years is commonly used in Japan today, a parallel numbering system for years according to the reigns of current emperors is also frequently applied (see year converter above). The year 2000, for example, which happened to be the 12th year of reign of the emperor whose posthumous name is Heisei, was called "Heisei 12". One popular Tanabata custom is to write one's wishes on a piece of paper, and hang that piece of paper on a specially erected bamboo tree, in the hope that the wishes become true.
Colorful Tanabata festivals are held across Japan in early July and August. Among the biggest and most famous ones are the Tanabata Festivals of Sendai in August and Hiratsuka near Tokyo in July
As many other Japanese traditions, Tanabata has its origin in a Chinese tradition but has become distinctively Japanese over the centuries.
On the day before Tanabata,the Japanese express best wishes by writing on a piece of colored paper and tying it to the branches of bamboo trees found in front of the house. It is believed that prayers uttered and hanged on bamboo trees on the evening of Tanabata will be granted. It appears, however, that today's society feels less inclined to celebrate this celestial event. Yet, for some the belief is as clearly evident today as it was decades past.

像断了线
消失人海里面
我的眼终于失去
你的脸

再等一会
奢望流星会出现

如果真的实现
爱能不能永远

明天
或许来不及变
但曾经走过的昨天
越来越远

北极星的眼泪
说不出的想念
原来我们活在
两个世界

北极星的眼泪
你哭红的双眼
被淋湿的诺言
淹没在心里面
我抬头看着
爱不见

再等一会
奢望流星会出现

如果真的实现爱
能不能永远

明天
或许来不及变
但曾经走过的昨天
越来越远

北极星的眼泪
说不出的想念
原来我们活在
两个世界

北极星的眼泪
你哭红的双眼
被淋湿的诺言
淹没在心里面
我抬头看着
爱不见

当对的人等不到对的时间
就在放放开手的瞬间
爱撕成两边

北极星的眼泪
说不出的想念
原来我们活在
两个世界

北极星的眼泪
你哭红的双眼
被淋湿的诺言
淹没在心里面
我抬头看着
爱不见

整个宇宙都 流眼泪
